Objective We aim to develop and validate a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D-CNN) model for automatic liver segment segmentation on MRI images. Methods This retrospective study evaluated an automated method using a deep neural network that was trained, validated, and tested with 367, 157, and 158 portal venous phase MR images, respectively. The Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), mean surface distance (MSD), Hausdorff distance (HD), and volume ratio (RV) were used to quantitatively measure the accuracy of segmentation. The time consumed for model and manual segmentation was also compared. In addition, the model was applied to 100 consecutive cases from real clinical scenario for a qualitative evaluation and indirect evaluation. Results In quantitative evaluation, the model achieved high accuracy for DSC, MSD, HD and RV (0.920, 3.34, 3.61 and 1.01, respectively). Compared to manual segmentation, the automated method reduced the segmentation time from 26 min to 8 s. In qualitative evaluation, the segmentation quality was rated as good in 79% of the cases, moderate in 15% and poor in 6%. In indirect evaluation, 93.4% (99/106) of lesions could be assigned to the correct segment by only referring to the results from automated segmentation. Conclusion The proposed model may serve as an effective tool for automated anatomical region annotation of the liver on MRI images.
