Abstract:

The human ears are very precise and contain more than 30 anatomical structures. U-HRCT is a dedicated Ultra-High Resolution CT for otology, which usually generates vast amount of imaging data. Supervised image segmentation can achieve high segmentation performance, but requires a large number of pixel-level manual annotations. For U-HRCT images, manual annotation is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. So it is impractical to provide large-scale annotated samples for each ear structure segmentation tasks. In this paper, a few shot U-HRCT ear structure segmentation method is proposed by meta-knowledge learning from few existing relevant tasks. Our important insight is to learn the meta-prior knowledge from the existing few relevant U-HRCT image ear structure segmentation tasks, which is then transferred to a new ear structure segmentation task to guide its learning and training. Therefore, the network can quickly adapt to the new task and achieve a satisfactory segmentation accuracy with only few labeled data of the new task. Using CE-Net as the basic segmentation network, we verified the proposed method on the self-established U-HRCT ear structure segmentation dataset. The experimental results show that, through learning the meat-knowledge from the existing malleus, incus, and stapes segmentation tasks, for the new inner ear labyrinth segmentation task with only 4 labeled cases, its DSC index can reach 90.70%, which greatly reduces the manual annotation workload of doctors. © 2024 ACM.
