Abstract:

Medical image segmentation commonly involves diverse tissue types and structures, including tasks such as blood vessel segmentation and nerve fiber bundle segmentation. Enhancing the continuity of segmentation outcomes represents a pivotal challenge in medical image segmentation, driven by the demands of clinical applications, focusing on disease localization and quantification. In this study, a novel segmentation model is specifically designed for retinal vessel segmentation, leveraging vessel orientation information, boundary constraints, and continuity constraints to improve segmentation accuracy. To achieve this, we cascade U-Net with a long-short-term memory network (LSTM). U-Net is characterized by a small number of parameters and high segmentation efficiency, while LSTM offers a parameter-sharing capability. Additionally, we introduce an orientation information enhancement module inserted into the model's bottom layer to obtain feature maps containing orientation information through an orientation convolution operator. Furthermore, we design a new hybrid loss function that consists of connectivity loss, boundary loss, and cross-entropy loss. Experimental results demonstrate that the model achieves excellent segmentation outcomes across three widely recognized retinal vessel segmentation datasets, CHASE_DB1, DRIVE, and ARIA.
