Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The RANO-BM criteria, which employ a one-dimensional measurement of the largest diameter, are imperfect due to the fact that the lesion volume is neither isotropic nor homogeneous. Furthermore, this approach is inherently time-consuming. Consequently, in clinical practice, monitoring patients in clinical trials in compliance with the RANO-BM criteria is rarely achieved. The objective of this study was to develop and validate an AI solution capable of delineating brain metastases (BM) on MRI to easily obtain, using an in-house solution, RANO-BM criteria as well as BM volume in a routine clinical setting.
