HybridCTrm: Bridging CNN and Transformer for Multimodal Brain Image Segmentation.

Multimodal medical image segmentation is always a critical problem in medical image segmentation. Traditional deep learning methods utilize fully CNNs for encoding given images, thus leading to deficiency of long-range dependencies and bad generalization performance. Recently, a sequence of Transformer-based methodologies emerges in the field of image processing, which brings great generalization and performance in various tasks.
