Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To test and evaluate the accuracy of rtStation software based on deep learning for automatic delineation of the heart in patients after surgery for breast cancer. Methods Forty patients after surgery for breast cancer were enrolled in the study, and then divided into 4 groups, namely left breast conserving surgery (LB) group, right breast conserving surgery (RB) group, left radical mastectomy (LG) group and right radical mastectomy (RG) group. After that the CT images for localization were transferred to rtStation software, the heart was automatically delineated by rtStation software for each patient, and the obtained structure files were transferred back to Eclipse treatment planning system. The volume difference (ΔV%), deviation of centroid (DC) and Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) between automatic delineation and manual delineation were calculated for evaluating the accuracy of automatic heart delineation using rtStation software. Results The ΔV%, DC and DSC of the 40 patients were (3.49±10.30)%, (0.48±0.30) cm and 0.89±0.04 respectively. The DSC of the 4 groups were 0.88±0.03 (LB), 0.89±0.03 (RB), 0.88±0.05 (LG) and 0.89±0.04 (RG), respectively and that of 4 combination groups were 0.89±0.03 (LB+RB), 0.88±0.04 (LG+RG), 0.88±0.04 (LB+LG) and 0.89±0.03 (RB+RG), respectively. The statistical analysis results showed that no statistical difference was found in ΔV%, DC and DSC among LB, RB, LG and RG groups (P>0.05), between LB+RB group and LG+RG group (P>0.05), and between LB+LG group and RB+RG group (P>0.05). Conclusion For postoperative patients with different types of breast cancer, using rtStation software to automatically delineate the heart can achieve accurate delineation results, and there is no statistical difference in delineation accuracy among different groups.
