    Area of Science:

    • Medical image analysis
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Tumor volume measurement is crucial for assessing cancer therapy response.
    • Current methods using simple voxel counting are sensitive to segmentation variability and partial volume effects, limiting accuracy.
    • This variability can impact therapy assessment and lead to misclassifications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a fast, generic algorithm for accurate tumor volume measurement in CT scans.
    • To address and correct for partial volume effects at the tumor-background border.
    • To reduce inter- and intra-observer variability in tumor volume quantification.

    Main Methods:

    • A generalized segmentation-based partial volume correction algorithm was developed.
    • The algorithm subdivides segmentations to compute tumor fraction per voxel, extending previous methods.
    • Validation was performed on phantom data, clinical lesion segmentations (lung, liver, lymph nodes), and the LIDC-IDRI database.

    Main Results:

    • The algorithm provides a more accurate estimation of true tumor volume.
    • Significant reduction in inter- and intra-observer variability was observed across all tested lesion types.
    • Phantom data variability reduced by 49%, and inter-reader variability by 28% (p ≪ 0.001).
    • Average computation time is 0.2 seconds.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed algorithm offers a robust and efficient solution for accurate tumor volumetry in CT.
    • It effectively mitigates partial volume effects and reduces measurement variability, enhancing reliability in clinical practice.
    • This method has the potential to improve the sensitivity of therapy response assessment in oncology.
