Abstract (arXiv)

[Purpose] To develop a fully automated semantic placenta segmentation model that integrates the U-Net and SegNeXt architectures through ensemble learning. [Methods] A total of 218 pregnant women with suspected placental anomalies who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were enrolled, yielding 1090 annotated images for developing a deep learning model for placental segmentation. The images were standardized and divided into training and test sets. The performance of PlaNet-S, which integrates U-Net and SegNeXt within an ensemble framework, was assessed using Intersection over Union (IoU) and counting connected components (CCC) against the U-Net model. [Results] PlaNet-S had significantly higher IoU (0.73 +/- 0.13) than that of U-Net (0.78 +/- 0.010) (p<0.01). The CCC for PlaNet-S was significantly higher than that for U-Net (p<0.01), matching the ground truth in 86.0% and 56.7% of the cases, respectively. [Conclusion]PlaNet-S performed better than the traditional U-Net in placental segmentation tasks. This model addresses the challenges of time-consuming physician-assisted manual segmentation and offers the potential for diverse applications in placental imaging analyses.
