Abstract:
Automatic airway segmentation is essential for quantitative measurement of lung diseases. However, most researches mainly suffer from two challenges: the spatial distribution and various branch pattern of airway, topology preserving of the segmentation. We propose a feature aggregation and topology embedding network (FATENet), which can combinate topology information and attention mechanism to mitigate those problems. Topology features are embedded into our network as a loss function, and attention mechanism are utilized to capture global dependencies. Topology features are embedded into our network as a loss function, and attention mechanism are utilized to capture global dependencies. This allows the network to generate more informative output and improve the segmentation performance. Our method is evaluated on 25 cases from different data resources. As compared to some existing method and network, we achieve the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), false positive rate (FPR), and true positive rate (TPR) are 93.4%, 0.054%, and 92.5%, respectively. The result shows that our method have accurate and efficient performance. © 2021 IEEE.
