Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Surveillance of postoperative vestibular schwannomas currently relies on manual segmentation and measurement of the tumor by content experts, which is both labor intensive and time consuming. We aimed to develop and validate deep learning models for automatic segmentation of postoperative vestibular schwannomas on gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (GdT1WI) and noncontrast high-resolution T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (HRT2WI).
