Tumorzellen weisen häufig eine vermehrte Laktatproduktion auf. Die 13C-Magnetresonanzspektroskopie wurde zur in-vivo-Quantifizierung der Laktatproduktion im DEN-induzierten hepatozellulären Karzinom der Ratte eingesetzt. Die EPSI- und die FID-CSI-Sequenz wurden hinsichtlich ihres Signal-zu-Rausch-Verhältnisses und ihrer Sensitivität zur Detektion der Metabolite Pyruvat, Laktat und Alanin miteinander verglichen. Im Anschluss erfolgte eine histologische und immunhistochemische ex-vivo-Validierung der Versuchsergebnisse., Tumor cells typically exhibit increased lactate production. 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used for in vivo quantification of lactate production in DEN-induced rat hepatocellular carcinoma. EPSI and FID-CSI sequences were compared for their signal-to-noise ratio and their sensitivity to detect the metabolites pyruvate, lactate, and alanine. This was followed by histological and immunohistochemical ex vivo validation of the experimental results.

In this work, we report the set-up and results of the Liver Tumor Segmentation Benchmark (LiTS), which was organized in conjunction with the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) 2017 and the International Conferences on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) 2017 and 2018. The image dataset is diverse and contains primary and secondary tumors with varied sizes and appearances with various lesion-to-background levels (hyper-/hypo-dense), created in collaboration with seven hospitals and research institutions. Seventy-five submitted liver and liver tumor segmentation algorithms were trained on a set of 131 computed tomography (CT) volumes and were tested on 70 unseen test images acquired from different patients. We found that not a single algorithm performed best for both liver and liver tumors in the three events. The best liver segmentation algorithm achieved a Dice score of 0.963, whereas, for tumor segmentation, the best algorithms achieved Dices scores of 0.674 (ISBI 2017), 0.702 (MICCAI 2017), and 0.739 (MICCAI 2018). Retrospectively, we performed additional analysis on liver tumor detection and revealed that not all top-performing segmentation algorithms worked well for tumor detection. The best liver tumor detection method achieved a lesion-wise recall of 0.458 (ISBI 2017), 0.515 (MICCAI 2017), and 0.554 (MICCAI 2018), indicating the need for further research. LiTS remains an active benchmark and resource for research, e.g., contributing the liver-related segmentation tasks in http://medicaldecathlon.com/.
