Hybrid Labels for Brain Tumor Segmentation

Abstract

The accurate automatic segmentation of brain tumors enhances the probability of survival rate. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a popular automatic approach for image evaluations. CNN provides excellent results against classical machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we present a unique approach to incorporate contexual information from multiple brain MRI labels. To address the problems of brain tumor segmentation, we implement combined strategies of residual-dense connections, multiple rates of an atrous convolutional layer on popular 3D U-Net architecture. To train and validate our proposed algorithm, we used BRATS 2019 different datasets. The results are promising on the different evaluation metrics.
