Technical and Clinical Factors Affecting Success Rate of a Deep Learning Method for Pancreas Segmentation on CT

ConclusionIncreased visceral abdominal fat and accumulation of fat within or around the pancreas are major factors associated with more accurate segmentation of the pancreas. Potential applications of our findings include assessment of pancreas segmentation difficulty of a particular scan or dataset and identification of methods that work better for more challenging pancreas segmentations.
