Abstract: Ultrasonic image segmentation is not only an important part of medical image processing,but also a common technical means of clinical diagnosis.In this paper,the SegFormer network model is proposed to realize the accurate segmentation of medical ultrasound images.On the one hand,the ultrasonic label image is transformed into a single channel and processed by binarization to complete the preprocessing of the data set image;on the other hand,the pre-training model is loaded into the pre-training model to fine-tune the trained model parameters,and a random gradient descent optimizer with momentum is selected to accelerate the convergence speed and reduce the oscillation.Experimental results show that,compared with FCN,UNet and DeepLabV3,all the evaluation indexes of the proposed model are the best in the breast nodule ultrasound image data set,and the evaluation indexes of mIoU,Acc,DSC and Kappa is 81.32%,96.22%,88.91% and 77.85% respectively.The experimental results also show that the model is robust in different ultrasonic image data sets.
