Medical Image Tumor Segmentation
This ongoing project involves annotating MRI scans for tumor regions. A team of 5 board-certified radiologists (plus 2 QA reviewers) segmented tumors on 15,000 scans (about 450,000 image slices) using ITK-SNAP and Labelbox. We established strict guidelines for tumor boundary and tissue classes, and each annotator passed benchmark tests on a pilot set. A double-annotation process (20% overlap) yielded a Dice IoU of ~0.78 and Cohen’s κ ≈0.82 on a gold-standard subset. These high-quality annotations have boosted a CNN’s tumor detection recall by ~15% over the baseline while keeping false positives low.
