• Abstract: Segmentation of brain structures on MRI is the primary step for further quantitative analysis of brain diseases. Manual segmentation is still considered the gold standard in terms of accuracy; however, such data is extremely time-consuming to generate. This paper presents a deep learning-based segmentation approach for 12 deep-brain structures, utilizing multiple region-based U-Nets. The brain is divided into three focal regions of interest that encompass the brainstem, the ventricular system, and the striatum. Next, three region-based U-nets are run in parallel to parcellate these larger structures into their respective four substructures. This approach not only greatly reduces the training and processing times but also significantly enhances the segmentation accuracy, compared to segmenting the entire MRI image at once. Our approach achieves remarkable accuracy with an average Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 0.901 and 95% Hausdorff Distance (HD95) of 1.155 mm. The method was compared with state-of-the-art segmentation approaches, demonstrating a high level of accuracy and robustness of the proposed method.

  This paper proposes a novel cross-modality deep feature learning framework to segment brain tumors from the multi-modality MRI data. The core idea is to mine rich patterns across the multi-modality data to make up for the insufficient data scale. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on the BraTS benchmarks, which show that the proposed cross-modality deep feature learning framework can effectively improve the brain tumor segmentation performance.

  Deep convolutional networks have been widely studied for head and neck (HN) organs at risk (OAR) segmentation. Their use for routine clinical treatment planning is limited by a lack of robustness to imaging artifacts, low soft tissue contrast on CT, and the presence of abnormal anatomy. We developed a computationally efficient nested block self-attention (NBSA) method that can be combined with any convolutional network.
