Abstract:
Accurate automatic segmentation of medical images is an important basis for clinical imaging diagnosis and 3D image reconstruction. However, medical image data has small contrast differences between target objects, is greatly affected by organ movement, and the scale of labeled samples is small. Therefore, it is still a difficult problem to establish a high-performance medical segmentation model under few samples. In view of the poor performance of the mainstream prototype learning few-shot segmentation network for medical image boundary segmentation, an iterative boundary refinement based few-shot segmentation network (IBR-FSS-Net) is proposed. Based on the few-shot segmentation framework of dual-branch prototype learning, the category attention mechanism and dense comparison module (DCM) are introduced to iteratively refine the coarse segmentation mask, and guide the segmentation model to focus on the boundary during multiple iterative learning processes, thereby improving the boundary segmentation accuracy. In order to further overcome the problem of few training samples and insufficient diversity of medical images, this paper uses the super-pixel method to generate pseudo-labels and expand the training data to improve the generalization of the model. Experiments on the mainstream ABD-MR and ABD-CT medical image segmentation public datasets are done, we conduct extensive comparative analysis and ablation experiments with various existing advanced medical image few-shot segmentation methods. The results show that our method effectively improves the segmentation performance of unseen medical categories. © 2024 Science Press. All rights reserved.
