A Semiautomated Deep Learning Approach for Pancreas Segmentation

Abstract: Accurate pancreas segmentation from 3D CT volumes is important for pancreas diseases therapy. It is challenging to accurately delineate the pancreas due to the poor intensity contrast and intrinsic large variations in volume, shape, and location. In this paper, we propose a semiautomated deformable U-Net, i.e., DUNet for the pancreas segmentation. The key innovation of our proposed method is a deformable convolution module, which adaptively adds learned offsets to each sampling position of 2D convolutional ker… Show more

“…Current automated pancreas tool are largely restricted to segmentation of the endocrine islet fractions of pancreas and are based on cell nulcei identification, extracting colour features mostly for pancreatic cancer detection (Huang et al 2016, Vu et al 2019, Yang et al 2021). There are other deep learning based methods for pancreas segmentation but again this are largely restricted to cancer diagnosis (Huang et al 2021) but cannot analyze fatty cell infiltration.…”

“…Deformable convolution dramatically improves the model's adaptability to irregular and non-rigid structures by adding adaptive offsets to each sampling position of the 2D convolutional kernel [40], [41]. In complex and highly irregular applications like pancreatic segmentation, this method elevated the Dice coefficient to 0.8725 [40], although it requires additional training time.…”

“…DL methods showed more accuracy in results than traditional rule-based methods in various domains, including eHealth systems ( 3 5 ). A study proposed a hypothesis that further improving the accuracy of DNN feature selection techniques can be used ( 6 , 7 ). Feature selection is the process of acquiring relevant information and discarding irrelevant ones ( 8 ).…”
