This study introduces two new region-based methods for segmenting nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) on MRI scans. These methods utilize parameter learning to improve accuracy and reduce clinician workload in tumor delineation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Clinical diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) requires manual delineation of tumor boundaries on MRI, a process that is time-consuming and expertise-dependent.
  • Existing computer-aided segmentation methods often require manual parameter adjustment, posing a challenge for clinicians.
  • There is a need for automated and efficient segmentation techniques to support NPC diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate two novel region-based methods for segmenting nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) lesions in magnetic resonance images (MRI).
  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of parameter learning in improving NPC segmentation accuracy.
  • To provide a more efficient and less burdensome tool for clinicians in NPC diagnosis.

Main Methods:
