Left atrial (LA) segmentation is the first step in the clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, especially atrial fibrillation (AF). Therefore, there is a significant need for effective, rapid detection of LA. Unfortunately, existing methods have poor performance for cardiac details and are prone to under- or over-segmentation. To solve these problems, we report a novel LA segmentation network MFIS-net which extracts semantic features at all levels from multiple scales and uses a creatively residual module with pyramid structure to improve the fusion of deep and shallow features. Extensive experiments are conducted on the public LA challenge, the proposed MFIS-Net obtains an average Dice score of 91.6 \(\%\) and average sensitivity of 95.1 \(\%\) with less parameters, may make an important contribution to the treatment of patients with AF. All of our code will be provided upon request.

摘要

Left atrial (LA) segmentation is the first step in the clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, especially atrial fibrillation (AF). Therefore, there is a significant need for effective, rapid detection of LA. Unfortunately, existing methods have poor performance for cardiac details and are prone to under- or over-segmentation. To solve these problems, we report a novel LA segmentation network MFIS-net which extracts semantic features at all levels from multiple scales and uses a creatively residual module with pyramid structure to improve the fusion of deep and shallow features. Extensive experiments are conducted on the public LA challenge, the proposed MFIS-Net obtains an average Dice score of 91.6 \(\%\) and average sensitivity of 95.1 \(\%\) with less parameters, may make an important contribution to the treatment of patients with AF.
