Abstract [en]

Radiation therapy is a primary and effective treatment strategy for NasoPharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC). The precise delineation of Gross Tumor Volumes (GTVs) and Organs-At-Risk (OARs) is crucial in radiation treatment, directly impacting patient prognosis. Despite that deep learning has achieved remarkable performance on various medical image segmentation tasks, its performance on OARs and GTVs of NPC is still limited, and high-quality benchmark datasets on this task are highly desirable for model development and evaluation. To alleviate this problem, the SegRap2023 challenge was organized in conjunction with MICCAI2023 and presented a large-scale benchmark for OAR and GTV segmentation with 400 Computed Tomography (CT) scans from 200 NPC patients, each with a pair of pre-aligned non-contrast and contrast-enhanced CT scans. The challenge aimed to segment 45 OARs and 2 GTVs from the paired CT scans per patient, and received 10 and 11 complete submissions for the two tasks, respectively. In this paper, we detail the challenge and analyze the solutions of all participants. The average Dice similarity coefficient scores for all submissions ranged from 76.68% to 86.70%, and 70.42% to 73.44% for OARs and GTVs, respectively. We conclude that the segmentation of relatively large OARs is well-addressed, and more efforts are needed for GTVs and small or thin OARs. The benchmark remains available at: https://segrap2023.grand-challenge.org.
