Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Malignant melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer in which brain metastases are common. Our aim was to establish and evaluate a deep learning model for fully automated detection and segmentation of brain metastases in patients with malignant melanoma using clinical routine MR imaging.
