Abstract

The segmentation of the left atrium (LA) is required to calculate the clinical parameters of the LA, to identify diseases related to its remodeling. Generally, convolutional networks have been used for this task. However, their performance may be limited as a result of the use of local convolution operations for feature extraction. Also, such models usually need extra steps to provide uncertainty maps such as multiple forward passes for Monte Carlo dropouts or training multiple models for ensemble learning. To address these issues, we adapt mask transformers for LA segmentation which effectively use both local and global information, and train them with evidential learning to generate uncertainty maps from the learned Dirichlet distribution, with a single forward pass. We validated our approach on the STACOM 2013 dataset and found that our method can produce better segmentation performance than baseline models, and can identify locations our model’s responses are not trustable.

Kanıtsal Maske Dönüştürücü Model ile Sol Kulakçık Bölütlemesi

Abstract

Sol kulakçığın yeniden şekillenmesine sebep olan hastalıklarının tanısının konulabilmesi için, sol kulakçığın bölütlenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu amaçla, genel olarak, konvolusyenel ağlar kullanılmaktadır. Fakat bu modellerin performansı, yerel hesaplama yapmaları nedeniyle düşük olabilir. Belirsizlik haritaları üretebilmeleri için, Monte Karlo dropout ya da çoklu model eğitimi (ensemble) gibi yaklaşımlara ihtiyaç duyulur. Bu problemleri gidermek için, yerel ve global bilgiyi bir arada kullanan, maske dönüştürücü modelleri, sol kulakçık bölütlenmesi için adapte ettik. Belirsizlik haritalarını elde etmek için de bu modeller, kanıtsal öğrenme ile eğitildi. Böylece, öğrenilen Dirichlet dağılımı kullanılarak, tek adımda belirsizlik haritaları elde edilebildi. Öne sürülen yaklaşım, STACOM 2013 veri setinde test edildi ve karşılaştırılan modellerden daha başarılı performans gösterdiği gözlemlendi. Üretilen belirsizlik haritalarının, modelin kararsız olduğu yerlerde yüksek belirsizlik gösterdiği gözlemlendi.
