Title
A Bi-Attention Adversarial Network For Prostate Cancer Segmentation
Abstract
Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among men. Early detection of this cancer could effectively increase the survival rate of the patient. In this paper, we propose a Bi-attention adversarial network for the prostate cancer segmentation automatically. The proposed architecture consists of the generator network and discriminator network. The generator network aims to generate the predicted mask of the input image, while the discriminator network aims to further improve the generator performance with adversarial learning by discriminating the generator predicted mask and the true label mask. For better improving the segmentation performance, we combine two attention mechanisms with the generator network to learn more global and local features. Extensive experiments on the T2-weighted (T2W) images have demonstrated our model could achieve state-of-the-art segmentation performance compared with other methods.
