Trial summary

U-Net-based architectures will be applied to 500 contrast-enhanced axial MR images of different patients from a single institution after manual segmentation of meningioma, of which 50 were used for testing. Tumor volumetry after autosegmentation by trained U-Net-based architecture is final goal. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Automated Meningioma Segmentation and Volumetry Using a nnU-Net Based Architecture on Contrast-enhanced MRI

U-Net-based architectures will be applied to 500 contrast-enhanced axial MR images of different patients from a single institution after manual segmentation of meningioma, of which 50 were used for testing. Tumor volumetry after autosegmentation by trained U-Net-based architecture is final goal.

Read the detailed description

U-Net-based architectures will be applied to 500 contrast-enhanced axial MR images of different patients from a single institution after manual segmentation of meningioma, of which 50 were used for testing. After preprocessing with Z-isotropification and intensity normalization of images, 3 U-Net-based networks (2D U-Net, Attention U-Net, 3D U-Net) and 3 nnU-Net-based networks (2D nnU-Net, Attention nnU-Net, 3D nnU-Net) will be trained with meningioma-segmented images. For applying to 3D networks, sagittal and coronal images will be reconstructed using axial images. After prediction, the cut-off of the probability function, which is a trade-off, will be obtained with the Gaussian Mixture Modeling algorithm using the probability density function. The voxels having a probability function higher than that will be finally predicted as meningioma. Tumor volume is calculated as the sum of the product of segmented area and thickness of axial images. For performance evaluation, dice similarity coefficient (DSC), precision, and recall will be evaluated compared with manually segmented voxels for validation datasets. The results of volumetry of each model will be compared with manual segmentation-based volume through Pearson's correlation analysis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Accuracy compared with ground truth

    As a primary endpoint, we will examine the ability of U-Net and nnU-Net to segment meningioma in brain MR compared with ground truth. Ground truth is defined as area on MR drawn by two neurosurgeons. Accuracy of autosegmentation of meningioma will be assessed in dice similarity coefficient, recall, and precision.

    Measured: 10-01-2020 until 09-30-2021

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Meningioma and Artificial Intelligence, run by Seoul National University Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy compared with ground truth (time frame: 10-01-2020 until 09-30-2021). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Oct 2021.
