Segmentation

LOCATOR is a multicentre phase II randomised clinical trial that is looking at the process of contouring in radiation treatment for breast cancer patients. This study looks at whether contouring aided by artificial intelligence (AI) is comparable in quality to that of contouring done completely manually by a radiation oncologist. We are also looking at whether AI assisted contouring saves radiation oncologists time when compared to fully manual contouring. LOCATOR uses the LOCATOR software which is an in-house software developed locally and trained on local data.

This project aims to enhance the performance of ultrasonic image analysis by optimizing and refining neural network algorithms, while also collecting and constructing extensive datasets relevant to ultrasonic imagery. The algorithm will be trained and evaluated in a data-driven manner, with test results facilitating accurate segmentation of regional block images and identification of characteristic ultrasonic anatomy. This approach will significantly advance the study and development of ultrasonic technology.
