In this paper, we propose a novel learning based method for automated segmenta-tion of brain tumor in multimodal MRI images. The machine learned features from fully convolutional neural network (FCN) and hand-designed texton fea-tures are used to classify the MRI image voxels. The score map with pixel-wise predictions is used as a feature map which is learned from multimodal MRI train-ing dataset using the FCN. The learned features are then applied to random for-ests to classify each MRI image voxel into normal brain tissues and different parts of tumor. The method was evaluated on BRATS 2013 challenge dataset. The results show that the application of the random forest classifier to multimodal MRI images using machine-learned features based on FCN and hand-designed features based on textons provides promising segmentations. The Dice overlap measure for automatic brain tumor segmentation against ground truth is 0.88, 080 and 0.73 for complete tumor, core and enhancing tumor, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a novel learning based method for automated segmentation of brain tumor in multimodal MRI images, which incorporates two sets of machine -learned and hand crafted features. Fully convolutional networks (FCN) forms the machin
e learned features and texton based features are considered as hand-crafted features. Random forest (RF) is used to classify the MRI image voxels into normal brain tissues and different parts of tumors, i.e. edema, necrosis and enhancing tumor. The method was evaluated on BRATS 2017 challenge dataset. The results show that the proposed method provides promising segmentations. The mean Dice overlap measure for automatic brain tumor segmentation against ground truth is 0.86, 0.78 and 0.66 for whole tumor, core and enhancing tumor, respectively.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that leads to lesions in the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance (MR) images provide sufficient imaging contrast to visualize and detect lesions, particularly those in the white matter. Quantita
tive measures based on various features of lesions have been shown to be useful in clinical trials for evaluating therapies. Therefore robust and accurate segmentation of white matter lesions from MR images can provide important information about the disease status and progression. In this paper, we propose a fully convolutional neural network (CNN) based method to segment white matter lesions from multi-contrast MR images. The proposed CNN based method contains two convolutional pathways. The first pathway consists of multiple parallel convolutional filter banks catering to multiple MR modalities. In the second pathway, the outputs of the first one are concatenated and another set of convolutional filters are applied. The output of this last pathway produces a membership function for lesions that may be thresholded to obtain a binary segmentation. The proposed method is evaluated on a dataset of 100 MS patients, as well as the ISBI 2015 challenge data consisting of 14 patients. The comparison is performed against four publicly available MS lesion segmentation methods. Significant improvement in segmentation quality over the competing methods is demonstrated on various metrics, such as Dice and false positive ratio. While evaluating on the ISBI 2015 challenge data, our method produces a score of 90.48, where a score of 90 is considered to be comparable to a human rater.
Automatic segmentation of the liver and hepatic lesions is an important step towards deriving quantitative biomarkers for accurate clinical diagnosis and computer-aided decision support systems. This paper presents a method to automatically segment l
iver and lesions in CT and MRI abdomen images using cascaded fully convolutional neural networks (CFCNs) enabling the segmentation of a large-scale medical trial or quantitative image analysis. We train and cascade two FCNs for a combined segmentation of the liver and its lesions. In the first step, we train a FCN to segment the liver as ROI input for a second FCN. The second FCN solely segments lesions within the predicted liver ROIs of step 1. CFCN models were trained on an abdominal CT dataset comprising 100 hepatic tumor volumes. Validations on further datasets show that CFCN-based semantic liver and lesion segmentation achieves Dice scores over 94% for liver with computation times below 100s per volume. We further experimentally demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method on an 38 MRI liver tumor volumes and the public 3DIRCAD dataset.
As a basic task in computer vision, semantic segmentation can provide fundamental information for object detection and instance segmentation to help the artificial intelligence better understand real world. Since the proposal of fully convolutional n
eural network (FCNN), it has been widely used in semantic segmentation because of its high accuracy of pixel-wise classification as well as high precision of localization. In this paper, we apply several famous FCNN to brain tumor segmentation, making comparisons and adjusting network architectures to achieve better performance measured by metrics such as precision, recall, mean of intersection of union (mIoU) and dice score coefficient (DSC). The adjustments to the classic FCNN include adding more connections between convolutional layers, enlarging decoders after up sample layers and changing the way shallower layers information is reused. Besides the structure modification, we also propose a new classifier with a hierarchical dice loss. Inspired by the containing relationship between classes, the loss function converts multiple classification to multiple binary classification in order to counteract the negative effect caused by imbalance data set. Massive experiments have been done on the training set and testing set in order to assess our refined fully convolutional neural networks and new types of loss function. Competitive figures prove they are more effective than their predecessors.
In medical applications, the same anatomical structures may be observed in multiple modalities despite the different image characteristics. Currently, most deep models for multimodal segmentation rely on paired registered images. However, multimodal
paired registered images are difficult to obtain in many cases. Therefore, developing a model that can segment the target objects from different modalities with unpaired images is significant for many clinical applications. In this work, we propose a novel two-stream translation and segmentation unified attentional generative adversarial network (UAGAN), which can perform any-to-any image modality translation and segment the target objects simultaneously in the case where two or more modalities are available. The translation stream is used to capture modality-invariant features of the target anatomical structures. In addition, to focus on segmentation-related features, we add attentional blocks to extract valuable features from the translation stream. Experiments on three-modality brain tumor segmentation indicate that UAGAN outperforms the existing methods in most cases.
