MICCAI Grand Challenge on Neonatal Brain Segmentation (NeoBrainS12) I. Išgum1, M.J.N.L. Benders2, M.A. Viergever1 1Image Sciences Institute, University Medical Center Utrecht 2Department of Neonatology, University Medical Center Utrecht
Aim To compare the performance of (semi-)automatic algorithms for neonatal brain tissue segmentation in T1- and T2-weighted MR scans
Data • Three different image sets of pre-term born infants are available: • axial scans acquired at 40 weeks corrected gestational age • coronal scans acquired at 30 weeks corrected gestational age • coronal scans acquired 40 weeks corrected gestational age
Patient population • No brain pathology was visible • 15 months follow-up normal according to Griffith's assessment test • All scans acquired on a Philips 3T system
Protocol: axial scans, 40 w • 3DT1-weighted: TR=9.4 ms; TE=4.6 ms; scan time=3.44 min, FOV=180x180; reconstruction matrix=512x512; consecutive sections with thickness=2.0 mm; number of sections=50, in-plane resolution 0.35 mm x 0.35 mm; • T2-weighted: TR=6293 ms; TE=120 ms; scan time=5.40 min; FOV=180x180; reconstruction matrix=512x512; consecutive sections with thickness=2.0 mm; number of sections=50, in-plane resolution 0.35 mm x 0.35 mm
Protocol: coronal scans, 30 w • 3DT1-weighted: TR=9.4 ms; TE=4.6 ms; scan time=4.44 min, FOV=130x100; reconstruction matrix=384x384; consecutive sections with thickness=2.0 mm; number of sections=50, in-plane resolution 0.34 mm x 0.34 mm; • T2-weighted: TR=10085 ms; TE=120 ms; scan time=6.23 min; FOV=130x100; reconstruction matrix=384x384; consecutive sections with thickness=2.0 mm; number of sections=50, in-plane resolution 0.34 mm x 0.34 mm
Protocol: coronal scans, 40 w • 3DT1-weighted: TR=9.5 ms; TE=4.6 ms; scan time=7.02 min, FOV=200x200; reconstruction matrix=256x256; consecutive sections with thickness=1.2 mm; number of sections=110, in-plane resolution 0.78 mm x 0.78 mm; • T2-weighted: TR=4847 ms; TE=150 ms; scan time=5.05 min; FOV=180x180; reconstruction matrix=512x512; consecutive sections with thickness=1.2 mm; number of sections=110, in-plane resolution 0.35 mm x 0.35 mm
Task • To segment • cortical grey matter (CoGM) • basal ganglia and thalami (BGT) • unmyelinated white matter (UWM) • myelinated white matter (MWM) • brainstem (BS) • cerebellum (CB) • ventricles (Vent) • cerebrospinal fluid in the extracerebral space (CSF)
Reference standard • Manual segmentations were performed by trained observers • The segmentations were verified independently by three neonatologists • In case of disagreement, the decision was made in a consensus meeting • Protocol: http://neobrains12.isi.uu.nl
Evaluation • Dice coefficient (DC) • Modified Hausdorff distance (MHD) • 95th-percentile Hausdorff distance
Ranking • Per set ranking • based on per tissue rankings • Per tissuerankings • for the eight tissue classes • unmyelinated + myelinated white matter • cerebrospinal fluid in the extracerebral space + ventricles • Rankings based on • Dice coefficient • modified Hausdorff distance
Overall rankings • The overall per tissue ranking • average of per tissue rankings based on the DC and based on the MHD • The overall per set ranking • Average of overall per tissue rankings within the data set
Winners • One winner per set will be announced • To qualify • a team must be ranked in at least three overall per tissue rankings for the given set • the segmentation method needs to be automatic • team had no other data from the segmented sets but those provided by the challenge
Set 1: Overall ranking *modified version of Anbeek et al, Pediatr Res. 2008
