Abstract

PURPOSE: Deep learning-based algorithms have been shown to be able to automatically detect and segment brain metastases (BMs) in magnetic resonance imaging, mostly based on single-institutional data sets. This work aimed to investigate the use of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) for BM detection and segmentation on a highly heterogeneous multi-institutional data set.
