Abstract

PURPOSE: This study aims to develop a 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) deep-learning, object detection model for the automated detection of brain metastases, into which three consecutive slices were fed as the input for the prediction in the central slice, and to compare its performance with that of an ordinary 2-dimensional (2D) model.
