To better understand early brain growth patterns in health and disorder, it is critical to accurately segment infant brain magnetic resonance (MR) images into white matter (WM), gray matter (GM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Deep learning-based methods have achieved state-of-the-art performance; however, one of major limitations is that the learning-based methods may suffer from the multi-site issue, that is, the models trained on a dataset from one site may not be applicable to the datasets acquired from other sites with different imaging protocols/scanners. To promote methodological development in the community, iSeg-2019 challenge (http://iseg2019.web.unc.edu) provides a set of 6-month infant subjects from multiple sites with different protocols/scanners for the participating methods. Training/validation subjects are from UNC (MAP) and testing subjects are from UNC/UMN (BCP), Stanford University, and Emory University. By the time of writing, there are 30 automatic segmentation methods participating in iSeg-2019. We review the 8 top-ranked teams by detailing their pipelines/implementations, presenting experimental results and evaluating performance in terms of the whole brain, regions of interest, and gyral landmark curves. We also discuss their limitations and possible future directions for the multi-site issue. We hope that the multi-site dataset in iSeg-2019 and this review article will attract more researchers on the multi-site issue.

Training a deep neural network is an optimization problem with four main ingredients: the design of the deep neural network, the per-sample loss function, the population loss function, and the optimizer. However, methods developed to compete in recen t BraTS challenges tend to focus only on the design of deep neural network architectures, while paying less attention to the three other aspects. In this paper, we experimented with adopting the opposite approach. We stuck to a generic and state-of-the-art 3D U-Net architecture and experimented with a non-standard per-sample loss function, the generalized Wasserstein Dice loss, a non-standard population loss function, corresponding to distributionally robust optimization, and a non-standard optimizer, Ranger. Those variations were selected specifically for the problem of multi-class brain tumor segmentation. The generalized Wasserstein Dice loss is a per-sample loss function that allows taking advantage of the hierarchical structure of the tumor regions labeled in BraTS. Distributionally robust optimization is a generalization of empirical risk minimization that accounts for the presence of underrepresented subdomains in the training dataset. Ranger is a generalization of the widely used Adam optimizer that is more stable with small batch size and noisy labels. We found that each of those variations of the optimization of deep neural networks for brain tumor segmentation leads to improvements in terms of Dice scores and Hausdorff distances. With an ensemble of three deep neural networks trained with various optimization procedures, we achieved promising results on the validation dataset of the BraTS 2020 challenge. Our ensemble ranked fourth out of the 693 registered teams for the segmentation task of the BraTS 2020 challenge.
Gliomas are among the most aggressive and deadly brain tumors. This paper details the proposed Deep Neural Network architecture for brain tumor segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Images. The architecture consists of a cascade of three Deep Layer Ag gregation neural networks, where each stage elaborates the response using the feature maps and the probabilities of the previous stage, and the MRI channels as inputs. The neuroimaging data are part of the publicly available Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) 2020 challenge dataset, where we evaluated our proposal in the BraTS 2020 Validation and Test sets. In the Test set, the experimental results achieved a Dice score of 0.8858, 0.8297 and 0.7900, with an Hausdorff Distance of 5.32 mm, 22.32 mm and 20.44 mm for the whole tumor, core tumor and enhanced tumor, respectively.

Accurate segmentation of lung cancer in pathology slides is a critical step in improving patient care. We proposed the ACDC@LungHP (Automatic Cancer Detection and Classification in Whole-slide Lung Histopathology) challenge for evaluating different c omputer-aided diagnosis (CADs) methods on the automatic diagnosis of lung cancer. The ACDC@LungHP 2019 focused on segmentation (pixel-wise detection) of cancer tissue in whole slide imaging (WSI), using an annotated dataset of 150 training images and 50 test images from 200 patients. This paper reviews this challenge and summarizes the top 10 submitted methods for lung cancer segmentation. All methods were evaluated using the false positive rate, false negative rate, and DICE coefficient (DC). The DC ranged from 0.7354$pm$0.1149 to 0.8372$pm$0.0858. The DC of the best method was close to the inter-observer agreement (0.8398$pm$0.0890). All methods were based on deep learning and categorized into two groups: multi-model method and single model method. In general, multi-model methods were significantly better ($textit{p}$<$0.01$) than single model methods, with mean DC of 0.7966 and 0.7544, respectively. Deep learning based methods could potentially help pathologists find suspicious regions for further analysis of lung cancer in WSI.
In this paper, we propose a Hybrid High-resolution and Non-local Feature Network (H2NF-Net) to segment brain tumor in multimodal MR images. Our H2NF-Net uses the single and cascaded HNF-Nets to segment different brain tumor sub-regions and combines t he predictions together as the final segmentation. We trained and evaluated our model on the Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (BraTS) 2020 dataset. The results on the test set show that the combination of the single and cascaded models achieved average Dice scores of 0.78751, 0.91290, and 0.85461, as well as Hausdorff distances ($95%$) of 26.57525, 4.18426, and 4.97162 for the enhancing tumor, whole tumor, and tumor core, respectively. Our method won the second place in the BraTS 2020 challenge segmentation task out of nearly 80 participants.
In fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Super Resolution Reconstruction (SRR) algorithms are becoming popular tools to obtain high-resolution 3D volume reconstructions from low-resolution stacks of 2D slices, acquired at different orientations. To be ef fective, these algorithms often require accurate segmentation of the region of interest, such as the fetal brain in suspected pathological cases. In the case of Spina Bifida, Ebner, Wang et al. (NeuroImage, 2020) combined their SRR algorithm with a 2-step segmentation pipeline (2D localisation followed by a 2D segmentation network). However, if the localisation step fails, the second network is not able to recover a correct brain mask, thus requiring manual corrections for an effective SRR. In this work, we aim at improving the fetal brain segmentation for SRR in Spina Bifida. We hypothesise that a well-trained single-step UNet can achieve accurate performance, avoiding the need of a 2-step approach. We propose a new tool for fetal brain segmentation called MONAIfbs, which takes advantage of the Medical Open Network for Artificial Intelligence (MONAI) framework. Our network is based on the dynamic UNet (dynUNet), an adaptation of the nnU-Net framework. When compared to the original 2-step approach proposed in Ebner-Wang, and the same Ebner-Wang approach retrained with the expanded dataset available for this work, the dynUNet showed to achieve higher performance using a single step only. It also showed to reduce the number of outliers, as only 28 stacks obtained Dice score less than 0.9, compared to 68 for Ebner-Wang and 53 Ebner-Wang expanded. The proposed dynUNet model thus provides an improvement of the state-of-the-art fetal brain segmentation techniques, reducing the need for manual correction in automated SRR pipelines. Our code and our trained model are made publicly available at https://github.com/gift-surg/MONAIfbs.
