Overview of perturbations applied to simulate multi-center data. Perturbation types and ranges vary with labels and MRI sequences according to the recommendation in [8]
Perturbation | Sequences | Segmentaion Labels | Perturbation assessment or range | Number of perturbations per sequence/label |
---|---|---|---|---|
Additivie Gaussian noise | All | – | Match SNR range | 10 per sequence |
Histogram binning | All | – | PyRadiomics recommended range (30–130 bins) | 54 per sequence |
Inter-rater simulation | – | All | Match Inter-rater DICE in [18] | 10 per label |
Voxel size | All | – | 1–1.5 mm, isotropically | 10 per sequence |
Slice spacing | FLAIR, T2 | – | 1-4 mm, imaging recommendations in [8] | 10 per sequence |
T1, T1c | – | 1–1.5 mm, imaging recommendations in [8] | 10 per sequence | |
K-space subsampling | All | – | Random subsampling, factor 0.8–1.0 | 21 per sequence |
