OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a deep learning algorithm to automatically detect and segment an orbital abscess depicted on computed tomography (CT).
METHODS: We retrospectively collected orbital CT scans acquired on 67 pediatric subjects with a confirmed orbital abscess in the setting of infectious orbital cellulitis. A context-aware convolutional neural network (CA-CNN) was developed and trained to automatically segment orbital abscess. To reduce the requirement for a large dataset, transfer learning was used by leveraging a pre-trained model for CT-based lung segmentation. An ophthalmologist manually delineated orbital abscesses depicted on the CT images. The classical U-Net and the CA-CNN models with and without transfer learning were trained and tested on the collected dataset using the 10-fold cross-validation method. Dice coefficient, Jaccard index, and Hausdorff distance were used as performance metrics to assess the agreement between the computerized and manual segmentations.
RESULTS: The context-aware U-Net with transfer learning achieved an average Dice coefficient and Jaccard index of 0.78 ± 0.12 and 0.65 ± 0.13, which were consistently higher than the classical U-Net or the context-aware U-Net without transfer learning (P < 0.01). The average differences of the abscess between the computerized results and the experts in terms of volume and Hausdorff distance were 0.10 ± 0.11 mL and 1.94 ± 1.21 mm, respectively. The context-aware U-Net detected all orbital abscess without false positives.
CONCLUSIONS: The deep learning solution demonstrated promising performance in detecting and segmenting orbital abscesses on CT images in strong agreement with a human observer.
