Multi-scale structured CNN with label consistency for brain MR image segmentation

Abstract

In this paper, a novel method for brain MR image segmentation has been proposed, with deep learning techniques to obtain preliminary labelling and graphical models to produce the final result. A specific architecture, namely multi-scale structured convolutional neural networks (MS-CNN), is designed to capture discriminative features for each sub-cortical structure and to generate a label probability map for the target image. Due to complex background in brain images and the lack of spatial constraints among testing samples, the initial result obtained with MS-CNN is not smooth. To deal with this problem, dynamic random walker with decayed region of interest is then proposed to enforce label consistency. Comprehensive evaluations have been carried out on two publicly available data-sets and experimental results indicate that the proposed method can obtain better segmentation quality efficiently.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
