Challenging Sens.AI: Towards CE marked deep learning software for brain tumor analysis
We have witnessed the unprecedented success of deep learning in virtually all areas of science and industry, with medical image analysis not being an exception here. Although there are a plethora of deep learning-powered techniques that established the state of the art in the field, e.g., in the context of automatic delineation of human organs and tumors in various image modalities, deploying such methods in clinical settings is a challenging process. In this talk, we will discuss our approach for building Sens.AI – a CE marked deep learning-powered product for automated brain tumor analysis. We will show how to design a thorough evidence-based verification and validation of such techniques in scenarios, in which collecting large, heterogeneous, and high-quality ground-truth data is time-consuming, user-dependent and error prone.
