Supporting intraoperative margin assessment using deep learning for automatic tumour segmentation in breast lumpectomy micro-PET-CT

Abstract Complete tumour removal is vital in curative breast cancer (BCa) surgery to prevent recurrence. Recently, [18F]FDG micro-PET-CT of lumpectomy specimens has shown promise for intraoperative margin assessment (IMA). To aid interpretation, we trained a 2D Residual U-Net to delineate invasive c...
