    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Computational Anatomy

    Background:

    • Low-dose-rate brachytherapy is a key treatment for localized prostate cancer.
    • Accurate delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images is crucial for effective radiation dose delivery.
    • Current CTV delineation methods are manual or semi-automatic, requiring significant user interaction and potentially introducing variability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel multi-atlas fusion framework for automated CTV delineation in prostate TRUS images.
    • To reduce user dependency and improve the consistency of CTV segmentation for brachytherapy planning.

    Main Methods:

    • A multi-atlas based approach where pre-segmented ultrasound images (atlases) are registered to a target image.
    • Introduction of a pairwise atlas agreement factor combining image similarity and contour similarity for atlas selection.
    • An atlas selection algorithm prunes the dataset, followed by consensus segmentation from selected atlases.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed automated method was evaluated on 280 transrectal prostate volume studies.
    • Segmentation results demonstrated performance within the range of observer variability compared to a standard semi-automatic technique.
    • The framework successfully automates the challenging task of CTV delineation in ultrasound images.

    Conclusions:

    • The multi-atlas fusion framework provides an accurate and automated solution for CTV delineation in prostate brachytherapy.
    • This automated approach has the potential to streamline treatment planning and enhance consistency in radiation oncology.
    • The method achieves observer-level agreement, offering a reliable alternative to current manual and semi-automatic segmentation techniques.
