Deep learning has been widely used for medical image segmentation and a large number of papers has been presented recording the success of deep learning in the field. In this paper, we present a comprehensive thematic survey on medical image segmentation using deep learning techniques. This paper makes two original contributions. Firstly, compared to traditional surveys that directly divide literatures of deep learning on medical image segmentation into many groups and introduce literatures in detail for each group, we classify currently popular literatures according to a multi-level structure from coarse to fine. Secondly, this paper focuses on supervised and weakly supervised learning approaches, without including unsupervised approaches since they have been introduced in many old surveys and they are not popular currently. For supervised learning approaches, we analyze literatures in three aspects: the selection of backbone networks, the design of network blocks, and the improvement of loss functions. For weakly supervised learning approaches, we investigate literature according to data augmentation, transfer learning, and interactive segmentation, separately. Compared to existing surveys, this survey classifies the literatures very differently from before and is more convenient for readers to understand the relevant rationale and will guide them to think of appropriate improvements in medical image segmentation based on deep learning approaches.

Automated medical image segmentation is an important step in many medical procedures. Recently, deep learning networks have been widely used for various medical image segmentation tasks, with U-Net and generative adversarial nets (GANs) being some of
the commonly used ones. Foreground-background class imbalance is a common occurrence in medical images, and U-Net has difficulty in handling class imbalance because of its cross entropy (CE) objective function. Similarly, GAN also suffers from class imbalance because the discriminator looks at the entire image to classify it as real or fake. Since the discriminator is essentially a deep learning classifier, it is incapable of correctly identifying minor changes in small structures. To address these issues, we propose a novel context based CE loss function for U-Net, and a novel architecture Seg-GLGAN. The context based CE is a linear combination of CE obtained over the entire image and its region of interest (ROI). In Seg-GLGAN, we introduce a novel context discriminator to which the entire image and its ROI are fed as input, thus enforcing local context. We conduct extensive experiments using two challenging unbalanced datasets: PROMISE12 and ACDC. We observe that segmentation results obtained from our methods give better segmentation metrics as compared to various baseline methods.
Accurate image segmentation is crucial for medical imaging applications. The prevailing deep learning approaches typically rely on very large training datasets with high-quality manual annotations, which are often not available in medical imaging. We
introduce Annotation-effIcient Deep lEarning (AIDE) to handle imperfect datasets with an elaborately designed cross-model self-correcting mechanism. AIDE improves the segmentation Dice scores of conventional deep learning models on open datasets possessing scarce or noisy annotations by up to 30%. For three clinical datasets containing 11,852 breast images of 872 patients from three medical centers, AIDE consistently produces segmentation maps comparable to those generated by the fully supervised counterparts as well as the manual annotations of independent radiologists by utilizing only 10% training annotations. Such a 10-fold improvement of efficiency in utilizing experts labels has the potential to promote a wide range of biomedical applications.
We systematically evaluate a Deep Learning (DL) method in a 3D medical image segmentation task. Our segmentation method is integrated into the radiosurgery treatment process and directly impacts the clinical workflow. With our method, we address the
relative drawbacks of manual segmentation: high inter-rater contouring variability and high time consumption of the contouring process. The main extension over the existing evaluations is the careful and detailed analysis that could be further generalized on other medical image segmentation tasks. Firstly, we analyze the changes in the inter-rater detection agreement. We show that the segmentation model reduces the ratio of detection disagreements from 0.162 to 0.085 (p < 0.05). Secondly, we show that the model improves the inter-rater contouring agreement from 0.845 to 0.871 surface Dice Score (p < 0.05). Thirdly, we show that the model accelerates the delineation process in between 1.6 and 2.0 times (p < 0.05). Finally, we design the setup of the clinical experiment to either exclude or estimate the evaluation biases, thus preserve the significance of the results. Besides the clinical evaluation, we also summarize the intuitions and practical ideas for building an efficient DL-based model for 3D medical image segmentation.
Although deep learning models like CNNs have achieved great success in medical image analysis, the small size of medical datasets remains a major bottleneck in this area. To address this problem, researchers have started looking for external informat
ion beyond current available medical datasets. Traditional approaches generally leverage the information from natural images via transfer learning. More recent works utilize the domain knowledge from medical doctors, to create networks that resemble how medical doctors are trained, mimic their diagnostic patterns, or focus on the features or areas they pay particular attention to. In this survey, we summarize the current progress on integrating medical domain knowledge into deep learning models for various tasks, such as disease diagnosis, lesion, organ and abnormality detection, lesion and organ segmentation. For each task, we systematically categorize different kinds of medical domain knowledge that have been utilized and their corresponding integrating methods. We also provide current challenges and directions for future research.
Medical image segmentation is important for computer-aided diagnosis. Good segmentation demands the model to see the big picture and fine details simultaneously, i.e., to learn image features that incorporate large context while keep high spatial res
olutions. To approach this goal, the most widely used methods -- U-Net and variants, extract and fuse multi-scale features. However, the fused features still have small effective receptive fields with a focus on local image cues, limiting their performance. In this work, we propose Segtran, an alternative segmentation framework based on transformers, which have unlimited effective receptive fields even at high feature resolutions. The core of Segtran is a novel Squeeze-and-Expansion transformer: a squeezed attention block regularizes the self attention of transformers, and an expansion block learns diversified representations. Additionally, we propose a new positional encoding scheme for transformers, imposing a continuity inductive bias for images. Experiments were performed on 2D and 3D medical image segmentation tasks: optic disc/cup segmentation in fundus images (REFUGE20 challenge), polyp segmentation in colonoscopy images, and brain tumor segmentation in MRI scans (BraTS19 challenge). Compared with representative existing methods, Segtran consistently achieved the highest segmentation accuracy, and exhibited good cross-domain generalization capabilities. The source code of Segtran is released at https://github.com/askerlee/segtran.
