Performance analysis of liver segmentation using nn-UNet TotalSegmentator: Focus on atypical livers, pathologies, and variants

TS performs excellently on healthy and well on most pathological livers. Despite high Dice scores in many pathological cases, clinical ratings reveal limitations. Clinical evaluation remains essential. Inclusion of PLD and Beavertail cases in training data may reduce bias and improve performance.

Abstract

TS performs excellently on healthy and well on most pathological livers. Despite high Dice scores in many pathological cases, clinical ratings reveal limitations. Clinical evaluation remains essential. Inclusion of PLD and Beavertail cases in training data may reduce bias and improve performance.
