Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods have shown their promising performance in the cross-modality medical image segmentation tasks. These typical methods usually utilize a translation network to transform images from the source domain to target domain or train the pixel-level classifier merely using translated source images and original target images. However, when there exists a large domain shift between source and target domains, we argue that this asymmetric structure could not fully eliminate the domain gap. In this paper, we present a novel deep symmetric architecture of UDA for medical image segmentation, which consists of a segmentation sub-network, and two symmetric source and target domain translation sub-networks. To be specific, based on two translation sub-networks, we introduce a bidirectional alignment scheme via a shared encoder and private decoders to simultaneously align features 1) from source to target domain and 2) from target to source domain, which helps effectively mitigate the discrepancy between domains. Furthermore, for the segmentation sub-network, we train a pixel-level classifier using not only original target images and translated source images, but also original source images and translated target images, which helps sufficiently leverage the semantic information from the images with different styles. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method has remarkable advantages compared to the state-of-the-art methods in both cross-modality Cardiac and BraTS segmentation tasks.

Deep learning models trained on medical images from a source domain (e.g. imaging modality) often fail when deployed on images from a different target domain, despite imaging common anatomical structures. Deep unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aim
s to improve the performance of a deep neural network model on a target domain, using solely unlabelled target domain data and labelled source domain data. However, current state-of-the-art methods exhibit reduced performance when target data is scarce. In this work, we introduce a new data efficient UDA method for multi-domain medical image segmentation. The proposed method combines a novel VAE-based feature prior matching, which is data-efficient, and domain adversarial training to learn a shared domain-invariant latent space which is exploited during segmentation. Our method is evaluated on a public multi-modality cardiac image segmentation dataset by adapting from the labelled source domain (3D MRI) to the unlabelled target domain (3D CT). We show that by using only one single unlabelled 3D CT scan, the proposed architecture outperforms the state-of-the-art in the same setting. Finally, we perform ablation studies on prior matching and domain adversarial training to shed light on the theoretical grounding of the proposed method.
The success of deep convolutional neural networks is partially attributed to the massive amount of annotated training data. However, in practice, medical data annotations are usually expensive and time-consuming to be obtained. Considering multi-moda
lity data with the same anatomic structures are widely available in clinic routine, in this paper, we aim to exploit the prior knowledge (e.g., shape priors) learned from one modality (aka., assistant modality) to improve the segmentation performance on another modality (aka., target modality) to make up annotation scarcity. To alleviate the learning difficulties caused by modality-specific appearance discrepancy, we first present an Image Alignment Module (IAM) to narrow the appearance gap between assistant and target modality data.We then propose a novel Mutual Knowledge Distillation (MKD) scheme to thoroughly exploit the modality-shared knowledge to facilitate the target-modality segmentation. To be specific, we formulate our framework as an integration of two individual segmentors. Each segmentor not only explicitly extracts one modality knowledge from corresponding annotations, but also implicitly explores another modality knowledge from its counterpart in mutual-guided manner. The ensemble of two segmentors would further integrate the knowledge from both modalities and generate reliable segmentation results on target modality. Experimental results on the public multi-class cardiac segmentation data, i.e., MMWHS 2017, show that our method achieves large improvements on CT segmentation by utilizing additional MRI data and outperforms other state-of-the-art multi-modality learning methods.
We developed a new joint probabilistic segmentation and image distribution matching generative adversarial network (PSIGAN) for unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) and multi-organ segmentation from magnetic resonance (MRI) images. Our UDA approach m
odels the co-dependency between images and their segmentation as a joint probability distribution using a new structure discriminator. The structure discriminator computes structure of interest focused adversarial loss by combining the generated pseudo MRI with probabilistic segmentations produced by a simultaneously trained segmentation sub-network. The segmentation sub-network is trained using the pseudo MRI produced by the generator sub-network. This leads to a cyclical optimization of both the generator and segmentation sub-networks that are jointly trained as part of an end-to-end network. Extensive experiments and comparisons against multiple state-of-the-art methods were done on four different MRI sequences totalling 257 scans for generating multi-organ and tumor segmentation. The experiments included, (a) 20 T1-weighted (T1w) in-phase mdixon and (b) 20 T2-weighted (T2w) abdominal MRI for segmenting liver, spleen, left and right kidneys, (c) 162 T2-weighted fat suppressed head and neck MRI (T2wFS) for parotid gland segmentation, and (d) 75 T2w MRI for lung tumor segmentation. Our method achieved an overall average DSC of 0.87 on T1w and 0.90 on T2w for the abdominal organs, 0.82 on T2wFS for the parotid glands, and 0.77 on T2w MRI for lung tumors.
Automatic methods to segment the vestibular schwannoma (VS) tumors and the cochlea from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are critical to VS treatment planning. Although supervised methods have achieved satisfactory performance in VS segmentation, the
y require full annotations by experts, which is laborious and time-consuming. In this work, we aim to tackle the VS and cochlea segmentation problem in an unsupervised domain adaptation setting. Our proposed method leverages both the image-level domain alignment to minimize the domain divergence and semi-supervised training to further boost the performance. Furthermore, we propose to fuse the labels predicted from multiple models via noisy label correction. Our results on the challenge validation leaderboard showed that our unsupervised method has achieved promising VS and cochlea segmentation performance with mean dice score of 0.8261 $pm$ 0.0416; The mean dice value for the tumor is 0.8302 $pm$ 0.0772. This is comparable to the weakly-supervised based method.
Semantic image segmentation is the process of labeling each pixel of an image with its corresponding class. An encoder-decoder based approach, like U-Net and its variants, is a popular strategy for solving medical image segmentation tasks. To improve
the performance of U-Net on various segmentation tasks, we propose a novel architecture called DoubleU-Net, which is a combination of two U-Net architectures stacked on top of each other. The first U-Net uses a pre-trained VGG-19 as the encoder, which has already learned features from ImageNet and can be transferred to another task easily. To capture more semantic information efficiently, we added another U-Net at the bottom. We also adopt Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) to capture contextual information within the network. We have evaluated DoubleU-Net using four medical segmentation datasets, covering various imaging modalities such as colonoscopy, dermoscopy, and microscopy. Experiments on the MICCAI 2015 segmentation challenge, the CVC-ClinicDB, the 2018 Data Science Bowl challenge, and the Lesion boundary segmentation datasets demonstrate that the DoubleU-Net outperforms U-Net and the baseline models. Moreover, DoubleU-Net produces more accurate segmentation masks, especially in the case of the CVC-ClinicDB and MICCAI 2015 segmentation challenge datasets, which have challenging images such as smaller and flat polyps. These results show the improvement over the existing U-Net model. The encouraging results, produced on various medical image segmentation datasets, show that DoubleU-Net can be used as a strong baseline for both medical image segmentation and cross-dataset evaluation testing to measure the generalizability of Deep Learning (DL) models.
