摘要

Currently, PET/CT imaging technology is widely used in clinical medicine, with one of the main research areas being the automatic segmentation of lesion tissues by combining data from PET/CT scans. However, accurately identifying lesion tissues in PET/CT images remains challenging due to complex tumor boundaries and internal heterogeneity. To address this, we propose MTS-Net, a multi-stage, multi-modal, and multi-task segmentation model. MTS-Net integrates four core components: a Detection Attention Module (DAM) for assisting tumor localization and reducing missed detections, a Deformable Convolution Residual Block (DRconv) to enhance the receptive field during the downsampling phase, a Cross-Fusion Attention Module (CFAM) for multi-scale feature fusion, and an Edge-aware Multi-scale Supervision Module (EAMSM) utilizing deep supervision to refine boundary segmentation. The model effectively combines object detection with segmentation, leveraging cross-modal information and deep edge supervision. Experimental results demonstrate that MTS-Net significantly outperforms existing medical segmentation methods, showing superior accuracy and robustness on the neuroblastoma and HECKTOR2021 datasets.
