Method for measuring an anatomical target in medical images

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having recorded thereon a computer program having instructions for performing a computer-implemented method for measuring an anatomical target from a set of medical images representing the anatomical target, the method comprising:

• obtaining at least one medical image of the anatomical target;
• obtaining an annotation associated with the obtained at least one medical image of the anatomical target, the annotation including a measurement of the anatomical target;
• obtaining a trained model configured for outputting, based on the obtained annotation, a segmentation mask of the anatomical target represented on the obtained at least one medical image;
• applying the obtained trained model to the obtained at least one medical image and the obtained annotation, thereby identifying a segmentation mask of the anatomical target represented on the obtained at least one medical image;
• and
• computing a measurement of the anatomical target on the identified segmentation mask.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor coupled to a memory, the memory having recorded thereon a computer program for measuring an anatomical target from a set of medical images representing the anatomical target, that when executed by the process causes the process to be configured to:
• obtain at least one medical image of the anatomical target;
• obtain an annotation associated with the obtained at least one medical image of the anatomical target, the annotation including a measurement of the anatomical target;
• obtain a trained model configured for outputting, based on the obtained annotation, a segmentation mask of the anatomical target represented on the obtained at least one medical image;
• apply the obtained trained model to the obtained at least one medical image and the obtained annotation, thereby identifying a segmentation mask of the anatomical target represented on the obtained at least one medical image;
• and
• compute a measurement of the anatomical target on the identified segmentation mask.
