Evaluation of the detection accuracy of a fully automated AI-based lesion segmentation tool in whole-body FDG PET/CT for lymphoma
Background This study evaluated an AI-based lesion segmentation tool using a hybrid 2D-3D deep learning model based on the nnUNet architecture with a ResNet18 backbone, incorporating post-processing to reduce false positives and segmentation-related quantitative errors. Methods Whole-body FDG PET/CT scans from 72 lymphoma patients (mean age 39.2 ± 18.6 years; 33 females, 39 males; 43.1% Hodgkin lymphoma, 56.9% non-Hodgkin lymphoma) acquired on a uMI550 digital PET/CT system were retrospectively analysed. Automat…
Fully automated AI-based lesion segmentation achieved excellent overlap and high quantitative agreement with expert manual delineation for lymphoma on whole-body FDG PET/CT.
Automated tool detected fewer lesions than manual expert delineation (711 vs 848) with sensitivity of 82.9%, indicating missed lesions in lymphoma PET/CT.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1222 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
