    Soft-tissue tumors (STTs) require accurate segmentation for treatment planning and monitoring, but current methods are time-consuming and observer-dependent.

  • 2

    Fully automatic segmentation methods struggle with STTs due to their diverse phenotypes and imaging modalities, limiting their clinical applicability.

  • 3

    A minimally interactive deep-learning method was developed to enhance STT segmentation by incorporating radiologist input for improved accuracy and efficiency.

  • 4

    The study utilized two public datasets for model training and validation, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of the segmentation methods.

  • 5

    The proposed InteractiveNet method demonstrated improved segmentation performance compared to traditional fully automatic and previous interactive methods.
