BACKGROUND: This study was performed to evaluate the clinical feasibility of a U-net for fully automatic uterine segmentation on MRI by using images of major uterine disorders. METHODS: This study included 122 female patients (14 with uterine endometrial cancer, 15 with uterine cervical cancer, and 55 with uterine leiomyoma). U-net architecture optimized for our research was used for automatic segmentation. Three-fold cross-validation was performed for validation. The results of manual segmentation of the uterus by a radiologist on T2-weighted sagittal images were used as the gold standard. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and mean absolute distance (MAD) were used for quantitative evaluation of the automatic segmentation. Visual evaluation using a 4-point scale was performed by two radiologists. DSC, MAD, and the score of the visual evaluation were compared between uteruses with and without uterine disorders. RESULTS: The mean DSC of our model for all patients was 0.82. The mean DSCs for patients with and without uterine disorders were 0.84 and 0.78, respectively (p = 0.19). The mean MADs for patients with and without uterine disorders were 18.5 and 21.4 [pixels], respectively (p = 0.39). The scores of the visual evaluation were not significantly different between uteruses with and without uterine disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Fully automatic uterine segmentation with our modified U-net was clinically feasible. The performance of the segmentation of our model was not influenced by the presence of uterine disorders.
