In this work, we compare five deep learning solutions to automatically segment the resection cavity in postoperative MRI. The proposed methods are based on the same 3D U-Net architecture. We use a dataset of postoperative MRI volumes, each including four MRI sequences and the ground truth of the corresponding resection cavity. Four solutions are trained with a different MRI sequence. Besides, a method designed with all the available sequences is also presented. Our experiments show that the method trained only with the T1 weighted contrast-enhanced MRI sequence achieves the best results, with a median DICE index of 0.81.
