Abstract
Liver cancer segmentation is an important process for doctors to diagnose liver tumors and the patient's subsequent treatments. Computed tomography (CT) scan images are often used because of their high spatial resolution, clear image and speediness. However, most of existing liver tumor segmentation algorithms perform feature extraction from singlephase CT images, ignoring the rich supplementary information provided by multi-phase CT images. Therefore, combined with the attention mechanism, we proposed a multi-channel attention gate V-Net (MCAGV-Net) based on the attention gate module for the automatic liver tumor segmentation by fusing multi-phase CT images information. The algorithm was verified by a multi-phase CT dataset. To further illustrate the performance of this algorithm, accuracy of segmentation by our algorithm was compared with previous algorithm. For liver segmentation, the Dice score is 90.46%, which was 3.92% higher than the single-channel V-Net. For liver tumor segmentation, the Dice score is 69.65%, which was increased 2.41% compared with the single-channel V-Net. In this work, we show that MCAGV-Net can effectively solve the problem of liver tumor segmentation, and for single-channel networks, the accuracy has also been improved.
