Automatic uterus segmentation in transvaginal ultrasound using U-Net and nnU-Net
TVUS datasets are well-suited for DL-based segmentation. nnU-Net training was faster and yielded higher segmentation performance; thus, it is recommended over manual U-Net tuning. We also recommend creating TVUS datasets that include only one imaging type and are as clutter-free as possible. The nnU-Net strongly benefited from being trained on 3D volume screenshots in our dataset, likely due to their lack of clutter. Further validation is needed to confirm the robustness of these models on TVUS datasets. Our code is available on https://github.com/dilaratank/UtiSeg.
