BMVDC-Net: Boundary Enhanced Multi-View Detail Capture Network for Glioma Segmentation
摘要
Glioma segmentation is crucial for brain tumor diagnosis, surgical planning, and prognosis assessment. Current glioma segmentation methods lack effective integration of 3D spatial and 2D multi-view features, especially in heterogeneous MRI data with varying tumor patterns across views and indistinct boundaries. We propose a boundary enhanced multi-view detail capture network, BMVDC-Net, using 3D-UNet architecture that effectively captures multi-view tumor distribution patterns and precise boundaries. First, we propose a multi-view feature representation module consisting of multi-scale axial, sagittal, coronal, and 3D convolutions to extract multidirectional tumor shape details. Second, we propose a boundary enhancement module that employs encoderdecoder parameter sharing, random boundary expansion, and attention fusion to make the network focus on tumor boundaries. Finally, we use post-processing to further refine the segmentation output. Experimental results on BraTS2019 and BraTS2023-GLI datasets demonstrate superior segmentation performance with 0.9 to 6.6 percent points improvement in mean Dice coefficient compared to state-of-the-art methods.
