Multi-level dilated residual network for biomedical image segmentation

Schematic diagram of the proposed approach for the biomedical image segmentation task. Unlike the convolutional blocks in the classical U-Net, we propose to incorporate the MLDR blocks to overcome some of the classical U-Net limitations, including the difficulty in handling images with variations in tumor sizes and scales. We also propose to use the MLR blocks into the skip connections, as non-linear layers, to further enhance restoring the spatial information, which is usually lost in the classical U-Net.

biomedical image segmentation by deep learning technology

Biomedical image segmentation is the process of dividing an image into different regions or segments, each representing a different structure or tissue in the body. Deep learning technology can be used to perform biomedical image segmentation by training a neural network on a large dataset of annotated images.

There are several approaches to using deep learning for biomedical image segmentation, including:

  1. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs): CNNs are a type of neural network that is particularly well-suited to image classification and segmentation tasks. By learning to recognize patterns and features in images, a CNN can be trained to segment an image into different regions.

  2. Fully convolutional networks (FCNs): FCNs are a variant of CNNs that are designed specifically for image segmentation tasks. They use convolutional layers to extract features from the input image and upsample the resulting feature maps to create a segmentation map.

  3. Encoder-decoder networks: These networks consist of an encoder module that processes the input image and a decoder module that produces the segmentation map. The encoder-decoder architecture allows the network to learn a compact representation of the input image and use this representation to generate a high-resolution segmentation map.

In order to train a deep learning model for biomedical image segmentation, it is necessary to have a large dataset of annotated images. The model can then be trained to predict the correct segmentation for each image in the dataset. Once trained, the model can be used to segment new images by inputting them into the network and using the output segmentation map to identify the different structures and tissues present in the image.

It’s important to note that biomedical image segmentation is a complex task and different approaches may be more or less effective depending on the specific application. It’s always important to carefully evaluate the performance of a deep learning model and consider the limitations of the approach.
