(1) Background: The effectiveness of deep learning artificial intelligence depends on data availability, often requiring large volumes of data to effectively train an algorithm. However, few studies have explored the minimum number of images needed for optimal algorithmic performance. (2) Methods: This institutional review board (IRB)-approved retrospective review included patients who received prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between September 2014 and August 2018 and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion transrectal biopsy. T2-weighted images were manually segmented by a board-certified abdominal radiologist. Segmented images were trained on a deep learning network with the following case numbers: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, and 320. (3) Results: Our deep learning network’s performance was assessed with a Dice score, which measures overlap between the radiologist’s segmentations and deep learning-generated segmentations and ranges from 0 (no overlap) to 1 (perfect overlap). Our algorithm’s Dice score started at 0.424 with 8 cases and improved to 0.858 with 160 cases. After 160 cases, the Dice increased to 0.867 with 320 cases. (4) Conclusions: Our deep learning network for prostate segmentation produced the highest overall Dice score with 320 training cases. Performance improved notably from training sizes of 8 to 120, then plateaued with minimal improvement at training case size above 160. Other studies utilizing comparable network architectures may have similar plateaus, suggesting suitable results may be obtainable with small datasets.

Objective. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the third-largest cardiovascular disease, and accurate segmentation of venous thrombus from the black-blood magnetic resonance (MR) images can provide additional information for personalized DVT treatment planning. Therefore, a deep learning network is proposed to automatically segment venous thrombus with high accuracy and reliability. Methods. In order to train, test, and external test the developed network, total images of 110 subjects are obtained from three different centers with two different black-blood MR techniques (i.e., DANTE-SPACE and DANTE-FLASH). Two experienced radiologists manually contoured each venous thrombus, followed by reediting, to create the ground truth. 5-fold cross-validation strategy is applied for training and testing. The segmentation performance is measured on pixel and vessel segment levels. For the pixel level, the dice similarity coefficient (DSC), average Hausdorff distance (AHD), and absolute volume difference (AVD) of segmented thrombus are calculated. For the vessel segment level, the sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), accuracy (ACC), and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) are used. Results. The proposed network generates segmentation results in good agreement with the ground truth. Based on the pixel level, the proposed network achieves excellent results on testing and the other two external testing sets, DSC are 0.76, 0.76, and 0.73, AHD (mm) are 4.11, 6.45, and 6.49, and AVD are 0.16, 0.18, and 0.22. On the vessel segment level, SE are 0.95, 0.93, and 0.81, SP are 0.97, 0.92, and 0.97, ACC are 0.96, 0.94, and 0.95, PPV are 0.97, 0.82, and 0.96, and NPV are 0.97, 0.96, and 0.94. Conclusions. The proposed deep learning network is effective and stable for fully automatic segmentation of venous thrombus on black blood MR images.
