Global context and boundary structure-guided network for cross-modal organ segmentation

作者:

Highlights:

• We firstly propose to utilize global context to guide deformable convolution, which can obtain reasonable receptive fields with a global perspective.

• We introduce the class-wise global context to handle intensity non-uniformities in cross-modal organ segmentation.

• A novel loss which focuses on the areas near the boundary is proposed here and can deal with the border blurs well.
