Abstract

BACKGROUND: Manual detection of brain metastases is both laborious and inconsistent, driving the need for more efficient solutions. Accordingly, our systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the efficacy of deep learning algorithms in detecting and segmenting brain metastases from various primary origins in MRI images.
