Abstract:
Existing neural network segmentation schemes perform well in the task of segmenting images of organs with large areas and clear morphology, such as the liver and lungs. However, it is difficult to segment organs with variable morphology and small target area, such as pancreas and tumors. In order to achieve accurate seg-mentation of pancreas and its cysts, MDAG-Net (Multi-dimensional Attention Gate Network) is proposed in this paper. Combining three attention mechanisms: spatial, channel and multi-dimensional feature map input, MDAG (Multi-dimensional Attention Gate) obtains the global distribution of semantic information in spatial and channel dimensions, filters redundant information in shallow feature maps, realizes feature response, and recalibrates convolution kernel parameters. In addition, the WML(Weighted cross entropy and MIoU loss function) loss can adaptively assign the weight of category loss and count the classification error of global pixels, which can in-crease the error attention of the target area and improving the segmentation accuracy of the network. The al-gorithm is experimented on the Task07_Pancreas dataset, compared with U-Net under the same conditions, the Dice coefficient, Precision, Recall rate and MIoU (Mean Intersection over Union) of MDAG-Net are improved by 5.3%, 1.5%, 12.7% and 7.6% respectively. The results show that MDAG-Net can accurately segment the region of pancreas and its cyst in CT(Computed Tomography) images, which proves that MDAG has better segmentation efficiency for such small target regions.
