BACKGROUND Radiation dose to specific cardiac substructures can have a significant on treatment related morbidity and mortality,yet definition of these structures is labor intensive and not standard.Autosegmentation software may potentially address these issues,however it is unclear whether this approach can be broadly applied across different treatment planning conditions.We investigated the feasibility of autosegmentation of the cardiac substructures in four-dimensional(4D)computed tomography(CT),respiratory-gated,non-contrasted imaging.AIM To determine whether autosegmentation can be successfully employed on 4DCT respiratory-gated,non-contrasted imaging.METHODS We included patients who underwent stereotactic body radiation therapy for inoperable,early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from 2007 to 2019.All patients were simulated via 4DCT imaging with respiratory gating without intravenous contrast.Generated structure quality was evaluated by degree of required manual edits and volume discrepancy between the autocontoured structures and its edited sister structure.RESULTS Initial 17-structure cardiac atlas was generated with 20 patients followed by three successive iterations of 10 patients using MIM software.The great vessels and heart chambers were reliably autosegmented with most edits considered minor.In contrast,coronary arteries either failed to be autosegmented or the generated structures required major alterations necessitating deletion and manual definition.Similarly,the generated mitral and tricuspid valves were poor whereas the aortic and pulmonary valves required at least minor and moderate changes respectively.For the majority of subsites,the additional samples did not appear to substantially impact the quality of generated structures.Volumetric analysis between autosegmented and its manually edited sister structure yielded comparable findings to the physician-based assessment of structure quality.CONCLUSION The use of MIM software with 30-sample subject library was found to be useful in delineating many of the heart substructures with acceptable clinical accuracy on respiratory-gated 4DCT imaging.Small volume structures,such as the coronary arteries were poorly autosegmented and require manual definition. 展开更多
