Background: Pituitary adenomas are treated with endoscopic surgery, while stereotactic radiosurgery addresses complex cases. Our study highlights AI’s role in accurate segmentation, improving treatment planning workflow efficiency Methods: In a retrospective study at Na Homolce Hospital (January 2010 to October 2022), SRS for pituitary adenomas was analyzed. Data were split 80:20 for training and validation. Using nnU-net, a medical image segmentation tool, a model predicted precise tumor, optic nerve, and pituitary gland segmentation. Accuracy was evaluated quantitatively with Dice similarity coefficient and qualitatively by human experts. The study explored the impact of tumor volume and hormonal activity status on segmentation accuracy. Results: The study comprised 582 and 146 patients in training and validation sets, respectively. The model achieved Dice similarity coefficients of 83.1% (tumor), 62.9% (normal gland), and 78.0% (optic nerve). Expert assessments deemed 41% directly applicable, 31.5% needing minor adjustments, and 27.4% unsuitable for clinical use. Larger tumor volume and non-functioning adenomas correlated with higher accuracy. Including T2 weighted scans improved DSC for optic nerve and normal gland. Conclusions: The study showcases deep learning’s potential in automating pituitary adenoma segmentation from MRI data, particularly excelling in large, hormonally inactive macroadenomas. Encourages collaborative use with clinicians for improved neurosurgical patient care.
