TotalSegmentator MRI: Robust Sequence-independent Segmentation of Multiple Anatomic Structures in MRI
Since the introduction of TotalSegmentator CT, there is demand for a similar robust automated MRI segmentation tool that can be applied across all MRI sequences and anatomic structures. In this retrospective study, a nnU-Net model (TotalSegmentator) was trained on MRI and CT examinations to segment 80 anatomic structures relevant for use cases such as organ volumetry, disease characterization, surgical planning and opportunistic screening. Examinations were randomly sampled from routine clinical studies to represent real-world examples. Dice scores were calculated between the predicted segmentations and expert radiologist reference standard segmentations to evaluate model performance on an internal test set, two external test sets and against two publicly available models, and TotalSegmentator CT. The model was applied to an internal dataset containing abdominal MRIs to investigate age-dependent volume changes. A total of 1143 examinations (616 MRIs, 527 CTs) (median age 61 years, IQR 50-72) were split into training (n=1088, CT and MRI) and an internal test set (n=55; only MRI), two external test sets (AMOS, n=20; CHAOS, n=20; only MRI), and an internal aging-study dataset of 8672 abdominal MRIs (median age 59 years, IQR 45-70) were included. The model showed a Dice Score of 0.839 on the internal test set and outperformed two other models (Dice Score, 0.862 versus 0.759; and 0.838 versus 0.560; p<.001 for both). The proposed open-source, easy-to-use model allows for automatic, robust segmentation of 80 structures, extending the capabilities of TotalSegmentator to MRIs of any sequence. The ready-to-use online tool is available at https://totalsegmentator.com, the model at https://github.com/wasserth/TotalSegmentator, and the dataset at https://zenodo.org/records/14710732.
