TL;DR: DeepEdit as mentioned in this paper combines the power of two methods: a non-interactive (i.e. automatic segmentation using nnU-Net, UNET or UNETR) and an interactive segmentation method (e.g. DeepGrow), into a single deep learning model.

Abstract: Automatic segmentation of medical images is a key step for diagnostic and interventional tasks. However, achieving this requires large amounts of annotated volumes, which can be tedious and time-consuming task for expert annotators. In this paper, we introduce DeepEdit, a deep learning-based method for volumetric medical image annotation, that allows automatic and semi-automatic segmentation, and click-based refinement. DeepEdit combines the power of two methods: a non-interactive (i.e. automatic segmentation using nnU-Net, UNET or UNETR) and an interactive segmentation method (i.e. DeepGrow), into a single deep learning model. It allows easy integration of uncertainty-based ranking strategies (i.e. aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty computation) and active learning. We propose and implement a method for training DeepEdit by using standard training combined with user interaction simulation. Once trained, DeepEdit allows clinicians to quickly segment their datasets by using the algorithm in auto segmentation mode or by providing clicks via a user interface (i.e. 3D Slicer, OHIF). We show the value of DeepEdit through evaluation on the PROSTATEx dataset for prostate/prostatic lesions and the Multi-Atlas Labeling Beyond the Cranial Vault (BTCV) dataset for abdominal CT segmentation, using state-of-the-art network architectures as baseline for comparison. DeepEdit could reduce the time and effort annotating 3D medical images compared to DeepGrow alone. Source code is available at https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAILabel .

Table 1. Whole prostate segmentation mean Dice scores ± one standard deviation for the 193 PROSTATEx dataset patients used in the ten-fold cross-validation, for nnUNet, DeepEdit-0 (equivalent to DeepGrow), DeepEdit-0.25, and DeepEdit-0.5. The highest mean Dice in each column is shown in bold. 
Table 3. Dice scores for single and multilabel segmentation on the validation set using the BTCV dataset. For single label we used the spleen organ and multilabel we used spleen, liver, and left and right kidneys. We show the results obtained for 0, 1, 5, and 10 clicks simulated during validation. Highest Dice scores in each column are shown in bold. 
Table 2. Prostatic lesion segmentation mean Dice scores ± one standard deviation for the 200 PROSTATEx dataset patients used in the ten-fold cross-validation, for nnUNet, DeepEdit-0 (equivalent to DeepGrow), DeepEdit-0.25, and DeepEdit-0.5. The highest mean Dice in each column is shown in bold.

Fig. 1. General schema of the DeepEdit: (a) Training and (b) Inference Mode. DeepEdit training process consists of two modes: the automatic segmentation mode and the interactive mode. Simulated clicks for all labels plus background are added to a backbone network as input channels . Input tensor could be either the image with zero-tensors (automatic segmentation mode) or the image with tensors representing label clicks and background clicks provided by the user (interactive mode).

TL;DR: Neber et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a network and training strategy that relies on the strong use of data augmentation to use the available annotated samples more efficiently, which can be trained end-to-end from very few images and outperforms the prior best method (a sliding-window convolutional network) on the ISBI challenge for segmentation of neuronal structures in electron microscopic stacks.

Normalized cuts and image segmentation

TL;DR: This work treats image segmentation as a graph partitioning problem and proposes a novel global criterion, the normalized cut, for segmenting the graph, which measures both the total dissimilarity between the different groups as well as the total similarity within the groups.
