Contrast quality control for segmentation task based on deep learning models—Application to stroke lesion in CT imaging by Juliette Moreau, Juliette Moreau, Laura Mechtouff, Laura Mechtouff, David Rousseau, Omer Faruk Eker, Omer Faruk Eker, Yves Berthezene, Yves Berthezene, Tae-Hee Cho, Tae-Hee Cho, Carole Frindel, Carole Frindel

“…The critical contrast is found-thanks to the following three methods: Performance, graphical, and clustering analysis. Defining this threshold improves dataset design and accelerates training by excluding low-contrast images.ResultsApplication of this method to brain lesion segmentation in CT imaging highlights a Fisher's ratio threshold value of 0.05, and training validation of a new model without these images confirms this with similar results with only 60% of the training data, resulting in an almost 30% reduction in initial training time. …”
