Adjacent Slice Feature Guided 2.5D Network for Pulmonary Nodule Segmentation
More and more attention has been paid to the segmentation of pulmonary nodules. Among the current methods based on deep learning, 3D segmentation methods directly input 3D images, which takes up a lot of memory and brings huge computation. However, most of the 2D segmentation methods with less parameters and calculation have the problem of lacking spatial relations between slices, resulting in poor segmentation performance. In order to solve these problems, we propose an adjacent slice feature guided 2.5D network. In this paper, we design an adjacent slice feature fusion model to introduce information from adjacent slices. To further improve the model performance, we construct a multi-scale fusion module to capture more context information, in addition, we design an edge-constrained loss function to optimize the segmentation results in the edge region. Fully experiments show that our method performs better than other existing methods in pulmonary nodule segmentation task.
