  • Patent number: 11900596
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method, a device, and a storage medium. The method includes inputting an image into an attention-enhanced high-resolution network (AHRNet) to extract feature maps for generating a first feature map; generating a first probability map which is concatenated with the first feature map to form a concatenated first feature map, and updating the AHRNet using the first segmentation loss; generating a second feature map, and scaling the second feature map to form a third feature map; generating a second probability map which is concatenated with the third feature map to form a concatenated third feature map, and updating the AHRNet using the second segmentation loss; generating a fourth feature map, and scaling the fourth feature map to form a fifth feature map; updating the AHRNet using the third segmentation loss and the regional level set loss; and outputting the third probability map.

  • Publication number: 20220335600
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, a device, and a storage medium for prior-guided dual-path network (PDNet). The method includes inputting an image into a split-attention network to extract a feature map at each scale and compressing the feature map to form a compressed feature map of each scale, by an image encoder, inputting the compressed feature map and a three-channel image into a prior encoder to generate an attention enhanced feature map of each scale, and outputting the attention enhanced feature map to a decoder; concatenating, by the decoder, an attention enhanced feature map at a current scale, in combination with up-sampled feature maps and/or down-sampled feature maps from other scales, to form a concatenated feature map of the current scale; and attaching a deconvolutional layer to a highest-level scale SA to segment a lesion and predict a RECIST diameter based on concatenated feature maps.

  • Patent number: 11410309
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method, a device, and a computer program product for deep lesion tracker. The method includes inputting a search image into a first three-dimensional DenseFPN (feature pyramid network) of an image encoder and inputting a template image into a second three-dimensional DenseFPN of the image encoder to extract image features; encoding anatomy signals of the search image and the template image as Gaussian heatmaps, and inputting the Gaussian heatmap of the template image into a first anatomy signal encoders (ASE) and inputting the Gaussian heatmap of the search image into a second ASE to extract anatomy features; inputting the image features and the anatomy features into a fast cross-correlation layer to generate correspondence maps, and computing a probability map according to the correspondence maps; and performing supervised learning or self-supervised learning to predict a lesion center in the search image.
