Conditional generator and multi-sourcecorrelation guided brain tumor segmentation with missing MR modalities

Brain tumor is one of the most high-risk cancers which causes the 5-year survival rate of only about 36%. Accurate diagnosis of brain tumor is critical for the treatment planning. However, complete data are not always available in clinical scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel brain tumor segmentation network to deal with the missing data issue. To compensate for missing data, we propose to use a conditional generator to generate the missing modality under the condition of the available modalities. As the multi-modality has a strong correlation in tumor region, we design a correlation constraint network to leverage the multi-source information. On the one hand, the correlation constraint network can help the conditional generator to generate the missing modality which should keep the multi-source correlation with the available modalities. On the other hand, it can guide the segmentation network to learn the correlated feature representations to improve the segmentation performance. The proposed network consists of a conditional generator, a correlation constraint network and a segmentation network. We carried out extensive experiments on BraTS 2018 dataset to evaluate the proposed method.The experimental results demonstrate the importance of the proposed components and the superior performance of the proposed method com-pared with the state-of-the-art methods
