Abstract First, T1-weighted (T1W), T2-weighted (T2W) and T1 enhanced structural MR images of 421 patients were collected, the tumor boundaries of all images were delineated manually by two experienced doctors as the ground truth, the images and ground truth of 346 patients were considered as training set and the remaining images and corresponding ground truth of 75 patients were selected as independent testing set. Second, three single modality, based multi-dimension deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) and three two-modality multi-dimension fusion deep convolutional networks and a multi-modality multi-dimension fusion (MMMDF) deep convolutional neural network were constructed, and the networks were trained and tested, respectively. Finally, the performance of the three methods were evaluated by using three indexes, including Dice, Hausdorff distance (HD) and percentage area difference (PAD). The experimental results show that the MMMDF CNNs can acquire the best performances, followed by the two-modality multi-dimental fusion CNNs, while the single modlity multi-dimension CNNs achieves the worst measures.. This study demonstrates that the MMMDF-CNN combining multi-modality images and incorporating 2D with 3D images features can effectively fulfill accurate segmentation on tumors of MR images from NPC patients.

多模态多维信息融合的鼻咽癌MR图像肿瘤深度分割方法
收集421名鼻咽癌患者头颈部水平位T1加权(T1W)、T2加权(T2W)以及T1增强(T1C)三种模态MR图像,并由2名经验丰富的临床医生对图像中的肿瘤区域进行勾画,将其中346位患者的多模态图像及其标签作为训练集,将剩余75位患者的多模态图像及其标签作为独立测试集;分别构建单模态多维信息融合、两模态多维信息融合以及多模态多维信息融合(MMMDF)的卷积神经网络(CNN),并对模型进行训练和测试;使用Dice、豪斯多夫距离(HD)与面积差占比(PAD)评估3种模型的性能,结果表明,多模态多维融合模型的性能最优,两模态多维信息融合模型性能次之,单模态多维信息融合模型性能最差. 结果证明,多模态二维与三维特征融合的深度卷积网络能够准确有效地分割鼻咽癌MR图像中的肿瘤.
