Automated volumetry of meningiomas in contrast-enhanced T1-Weighted MRI using deep learning.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMeningiomas are among the most common intracranial tumors. In these tumors, volumetric assessment is not only important for planning therapeutic intervention but also for follow-up examination.However, a highly accurate automated volumetric method for meningiomas using single-modality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not yet been reported. Here, we aimed to develop a deep learning-based automated volumetry method for meningiomas in MRI and investigate its accuracy and potential clinical applications.
methodsFor deep learning, we used MRI images of patients with meningioma who were referred to Osaka University Hospital between January 2007 and October 2020. Imaging data of eligible patients were divided into three non-overlapping groups: training, validation, and testing. The model was trained and tested using the leave-oneout cross-validation method. Dice index (DI) and root mean squared percentage error (RMSPE) were measured to evaluate the model accuracy. Result: A total of 178 patients (64.6 ± 12.3 years [standard deviation]; 147 women) were evaluated. Comparison of the deep learning model and manual segmentation revealed a mean DI of 0.923 ± 0.051 for tumor lesions. For total tumor volume, RMSPE was 9.5 ± 1.2%, and Mann-Whitney U test did not show a significant difference between manual and algorithm-based measurement of the tumor volume (p = 0.96).
conclusionThe automatic tumor volumetry algorithm developed in this study provides a potential volume-based imaging biomarker for tumor evaluation in the field of neuroradiological imaging, which will contribute to the optimization and personalization of treatment for central nervous system tumors in the near future.
