基于渐进式特征融合的自适应肝脏血管分割

Adaptive Liver Vessel segmentation Based On Progressive Feature Fusion

  • 摘要: 肝脏血管分割对于辅助医生进行临床诊断、肝脏切除及移植手术具有重要意义. 针对肝脏血管特征多样化及分割结果受造影剂和病变区域影响的问题, 提出一种渐进式特征融合的自适应肝脏血管分割网络——APFF-Net. 首先通过逐步融合不同层次的多尺度特征信息关注肝脏血管的全局和局部信息, 以更好地捕获血管的形态及分布, 实现细粒度分割; 然后设计一种自适应语义指导模块, 通过高级特征细化低级特征, 更好地辨别肝脏血管与其他组织, 为上采样做出更精准的预判; 最后在底层采用空洞空间金字塔池化, 使网络对肝脏中细小血管进行敏感分割时不削弱对粗血管的识别能力, 有助于抑制过拟合现象. 在3Dircadb数据集上的灵敏度和准确率分别达到76.36%和98.93%, 在MSD数据集上的灵敏度和准确率分别达到68.32%和99.85%, 均优于其他对比方法.

     

    Abstract: Liver vascular segmentation is significant in assisting physicians in clinical diagnosis, liver resection, and transplantation. Aiming at the problems of diversified liver vessel features and the influence of contrast agent and lesion area on the segmentation results, we propose an adaptive liver vessel segmentation network with progressive feature fusion, APFF-Net. Firstly, we focus on the global and local information of liver blood vessels by gradually fusing different levels of multi-scale feature information to better capture the morphology and distribution of blood vessels and realize fine-grained segmentation. Secondly, we design an adaptive semantic guidance module to refine the low-level features with high-level features to better distinguish liver blood vessels from other tissues so as to make a more accurate prediction for up-sampling. Finally, hollow space pyramid pooling is used in the bottom layer so that the network performs sensitive segmentation of fine blood vessels in the liver without weakening the ability to recognize coarse blood vessels, which helps to suppress the overfitting phenomenon. The sensitivity and accuracy on the 3Dircadb dataset reached 76.36% and 98.93%, respectively, and on the MSD dataset reached 68.32% and 99.85%, respectively, which were better than those of the other compared methods.
