摘要

Accurate medical image segmentation plays a vital role in assisting diagnosis with quantifiable visual evidence. Due to the complex structure and diverse patterns in medical images, it is crucial to capture both short and long-range pixel relations. While transformers are adept at modeling long-range spatial dependencies in images, they struggle with learning local pixel relationships. To address this, we propose a deep learning network named GoLoCo-Net incorporating a dual decoder structure. More specifically, one decoder entails a Contextual Attention Feature Enhancement (CAFE) module to enhance the features for a broader capture of local and global contexts, whereas the other uses a Global-Guide-Local Feature (GGLF) module that leverages high-level features to enrich low-level features with a global context. The proposed method is evaluated on two dynamic MRI datasets and one multi-organ CT dataset. Experimental results show that the model achieves state-of-the-art performance across all three datasets.
