Multiparametric MRI imaging in combination with PET/CT is the basis for precise tumor segmentation in radiation therapy. We trained a segmentation CNN on the multiparametric MRI data of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients and investigated the network robustness against noise corruption in the input channels. Overall noise robustness and differences between seven different input contrasts were compared.
