Background:

Brain metastases (BMs) are a significant challenge in cancer care.
Early and accurate detection of BMs is crucial for effective treatment planning.
Existing computer-aided detection (CAD) systems often struggle with small or inconspicuous lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel CAD system for enhanced detection of brain metastases.
To specifically improve the identification of small and subtle BMs.
To augment human performance in diagnosing BMs using convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

Main Methods:

A unique dataset of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with subtle BMs was curated.
A CNN was trained on this dataset, including prospectively and retrospectively identified metastases (PIMs and RIMs).
The CAD system was evaluated on its sensitivity and specificity for detecting various types of BMs, including small lesions (<3 mm).

Main Results:

The CAD system achieved high sensitivity: 94% for PIMs and 80% for +DC RIMs.
Performance was notable for small BMs (<3 mm), with 79% sensitivity for PIMs and +DC RIMs combined.
The system demonstrated a median of 2 false positives per patient and a Dice coefficient of 0.79.

Conclusions:

The developed CAD model shows high sensitivity and specificity in detecting brain metastases.
It outperforms existing CAD systems, particularly for small and retrospectively identified lesions.
This AI tool has the potential to significantly augment human performance in diagnosing BMs.
