摘要: 借助计算机辅助诊断技术定位脑卒中发病区域,有助于提升临床医生的诊断与治疗效率。目前,医学图像里脑卒中病变与健康组织边界常不清晰,而现有多数基于深度学习的分割方法在识别小尺寸病变及处理模糊边界方面存在不足。为此,提出了一种创新的边界感知多尺度特征集成网络(Boundary-Aware Multi-Scale Feature Integration Network,BAMFNet),用于更准确地进行脑卒中病灶分割。BAMFNet中设计了多尺度特征提取模块,该模块利用卷积神经网络和Transformer的混合架构来捕获局部和全局多尺度特征,通过内卷积机制有效减少冗余信息。此外,提出了边界增强和融合模块,其在特征融合过程中有效增强了边界区域的特征。融合模块集成了多层次的信息交互机制,增强了边界特征表示,实现了深层特征和浅层特征的有效结合。在ATLAS v1.2,ATLAS v2.0和ISLES 2022卒中数据集上的实验证明,BAMFNet的骰子相似系数分别达到了62.93%,61.79%和86.66%,优于对比方法。

Abstract: Computer-aided diagnosis helps clinicians locate stroke-affected brain regions,improving diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency.Currently,the boundaries between stroke lesions and healthy tissues in medical images are often unclear,and most exis-ting deep learning-based segmentation methods lack effectiveness in identifying small-sized lesions and handling blurred boundaries.To address this,the boundary-aware multi-scale feature integration network(BAMFNet) is proposed for more accurate stroke lesion segmentation.In BAMFNet,the multi-scale feature extraction module combines convolutional neural networks and Transformers to capture local and global features at multiple scales and uses involution to reduce information redundancy.The boundary enhancement and fusion module strengthens boundary-region features during fusion and integrates a multi-level information interaction mechanism.This enhances the boundary feature representation and combines deep and shallow features effectively.Experiments on the ATLAS v1.2,ATLAS v2.0 and ISLES 2022 stroke datasets show BAMFNet achieves Dice similarity coefficients of 62.93%,61.79%,and 86.66% respectively,outperforming other methods.
