Current drug therapies in HCC remain limited because of substantial genomic, cellular and molecular heterogeneity of the liver tumor microenvironment (TME). This heterogeneity has implications for tumor development, immune response and cellular invasion and is compounded by multiple molecular pathways related to the various HCC etiologies. In this context, it is challenging to find biomarkers that are predictive of therapeutic response or outcome. A systems biology approach leveraging the iBiopsy phenotyping platform to automatically detect HCC and TME subtypes using non-invasive medical imaging could help identify specific disease pathways and accelerate HCC drug development.

Poster presented at The IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) 2019 | Venice, Italy | April 8-11, 2019
In clinical trials, the evaluation of CT/MRI images is usually done manually or with the use of semi-automatic segmentation techniques. Liver segmentation, as well as segmentations of other organs such as prostate, lung, is a crucial step in computer-aided systems for cancer detection. In order to improve the quality and performance of diagnosis computer-aided systems became popular, where deep learning approach demonstrates its potential and strengths as robust and powerful tool in particular for medical image segmentation. This work presents a novel deep convolutional neural network architecture DualTail-Net in application for automatic liver segmentation on abdominal CT images.

In imaging-based clinical trials, it is common practice to perform double reads for each image, discrepant interpretations can result from these two different evaluations. In this study we analyzed discrepancies that occurred between local investigators (LI) and blinded independent central review (BICR) by comparing reader-selected imaging scans and lesions. Our goal was to identify the causes of discrepant declarations of progressive disease (PD) between LI and BICR in a clinical trial.
