Diagonal Hierarchical Consistency Learning for Semi-supervised Medical Image Segmentation.

Medical image segmentation, which is essential for many clinical applications, has achieved almost human-level performance via data-driven deep learning technologies. Nevertheless, its performance is predicated upon the costly process of manually annotating a vast amount of medical images. To this end, we propose a novel framework for robust semi-supervised medical image segmentation using diagonal hierarchical consistency learning (DiHC-Net).
