摘要

The accurate segmentation of brain glioma subregions is an important technical prerequisite for clinical diagnosis and treatment and has important research significance. Conventional convolutional neural networks generally demonstrate limitations in explicitly modeling long-range dependency, which is not conducive to accurate segmentation. This paper proposes a brain glioma segmentation model based on the encoder-decoder structure (DEUNet), inspired by the U-Net model. The proposed model consists of a two-branch encoder, a dual-path feature fusion module based on the attention mechanism (DPAM) and a decoder. The proposed method is evaluated on the public BraTS2021 dataset. The experiments showed that the suggested model achieved a competitive dice score in comparison to recent advanced methods. The proposed method reached the Dice coefficient of 91.6%, 83.0%, and 85.1% in the WT, ET, and TC regions, respectively on the BraTS2021 dataset.
