Advancing Kidney, Kidney Tumor, Cyst Segmentation: A Multi-Planner U-Net Approach for the KiTS23 Challenge

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Accurate segmentation of kidney tumors in medical images is crucial for effective treatment planning and patient outcomes prediction. The Kidney and Kidney Tumor Segmentation challenge (KiTS23) serves as a platform for evaluating advanced segmentation methods. In this study, we present our approach utilizing a Multi-Planner U-Net for kidney tumor segmentation. Our method combines the U-Net architecture with multiple image planes to enhance spatial information and improve segmentation accuracy. We employed a 3-fold cross-validation technique on the KiTS23 dataset, evaluating Mean Dice Score, precision, and recall metrics. Results indicate promising performance in segmenting Kidney + Tumor + Cyst and Tumor-only classes, while challenges persist in segmenting Tumor + Cyst cases. Our approach demonstrates potential in kidney tumor segmentation, with room for further refinement to address complex coexisting structures.
