Research on Medical Image Segmentation Method Based on Improved U-Net3.

Computer assisted diagnostic technology has been widely used in clinical practice, specifically focusing on medical image segmentation. Its purpose is to segment targets with certain special meanings in medical images and extract relevant features, providing reliable basis for subsequent clinical diagnosis and research. However, because of different shapes and complex structures of segmentation targets in different medical images, some imaging techniques have similar characteristics, such as intensity, color, or texture, for imaging different organs and tissues. The localization and segmentation of targets in medical images remains an urgent technical challenge to be solved. As such, an improved full scale skip connection network structure for the CT liver image segmentation task is proposed. This structure includes a biomimetic attention module between the shallow encoder and the deep decoder, and the feature fusion proportion coefficient between the two is learned to enhance the attention of the overall network to the segmented target area. In addition, based on the traditional point sampling mechanism, an improved point sampling strategy is proposed for characterizing medical images to further enhance the edge segmentation effect of CT liver targets. The experimental results on the commonly used combined (CT-MR) health absolute organ segmentation (CHAOS) dataset show that the average dice similarity coefficient (DSC) can reach 0.9467, the average intersection over union (IOU) can reach 0.9623, and the average F1 score can reach 0.9351. This indicates that the model can effectively learn image detail features and global structural features, leading to improved segmentation of liver images.
