AI Article Synopsis

  • The incidence of glioma is rising, making accurate diagnosis and treatment crucial, and MRI plays a key role in visualizing these brain tumors effectively.
  • Traditional methods for glioma segmentation are inefficient due to the variability in tumor characteristics and the limitations of single-modal MRI images, prompting the need for multimodal approaches.
  • The proposed solution is a deep learning model, 3D U-Net, which utilizes advanced techniques like hollow convolution and dense connections to enhance segmentation accuracy and has shown promising results on the BraTS2018 dataset.

Article Abstract

The incidence of glioma is increasing year by year, seriously endangering people's health. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can effectively provide intracranial images of brain tumors and provide strong support for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Accurate segmentation of brain glioma has positive significance in medicine. However, due to the strong variability of the size, shape, and location of glioma and the large differences between different cases, the recognition and segmentation of glioma images are very difficult. Traditional methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, and single-modal MRI images cannot provide comprehensive information about gliomas. Therefore, it is necessary to synthesize multimodal MRI images to identify and segment glioma MRI images. This work is based on multimodal MRI images and based on deep learning technology to achieve automatic and efficient segmentation of gliomas. The main tasks are as follows. A deep learning model based on dense blocks of holes, 3D U-Net, is proposed. It can automatically segment multimodal MRI glioma images. U-Net network is often used in image segmentation and has good performance. However, due to the strong specificity of glioma, the U-Net model cannot effectively obtain more details. Therefore, the 3D U-Net model proposed in this paper can integrate hollow convolution and densely connected blocks. In addition, this paper also combines classification loss and cross-entropy loss as the loss function of the network to improve the problem of category imbalance in glioma image segmentation tasks. The algorithm proposed in this paper has been used to perform a lot of experiments on the BraTS2018 dataset, and the results prove that this model has good segmentation performance.
