Abstract:
Objective To improve the accuracy of automatic heart segmentation using 2D/3D U-plus-net. Methods The chest CT images of 60 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (Data A) and the chest CT images of 45 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (Data B) were collected. A modified AlexNet was used to divide all CT images into two types, namely heart CT images and no-heart CT images. Based on the topological structure of 2D/3D U-net, a modified 2D/3D U-plus-net was obtained by reducing network depth, increasing nodes in a long connection and increasing the convolution number of the decoder. The heart CT images near the abdomen (the number of CT images was determined by pre-experiment) were input into 3DU-plus-net, while the other heart CT images were input into 2D U-plus-net. The obtained model was trained and tested by 5-fold cross-validation method. Finally, the accuracy of automatic heart segmentation was evaluated by Dice coefficient, HD95 and mean surface distance. Results The Dice coefficient, mean surface distance and HD95 of automatic heart segmentation on Data A were 0.941± 0.012, (3.918±0.201) mm and (5.863±0.561) mm, respectively, while those of automatic heart segmentation on Data B were 0.934±0.014, (4.112±0.320) mm and (6.035±0.659) mm, respectively. Conclusion The automatic segmentation method based on 2D/3D U-plus-net improves the accuracy of automatic heart segmentation.
