Abstract
- Abstract Deep learning recently achieved advancement in the segmentation of medical images. In this regard, U-Net is the most predominant deep neural network, and its architecture is the most prevalent in the medical imaging society. Experiments conducted on difficult datasets directed us to the conclusion that the traditional U-Net framework appears to be deficient in certain respects, despite its overall excellence in segmenting multimodal medical images. Therefore, we propose several modifications to the existing cutting-edge U-Net model. The technical approach involves applying a Multi-Dimensional U-Convolutional Neural Network to achieve accurate segmentation of multimodal biomedical images, enhancing precision and comprehensiveness in identifying and analyzing structures across diverse imaging modalities. As a result of the enhancements, we propose a novel framework called Multi-Dimensional U-Convolutional Neural Network (MDU-CNN) as a potential successor to the U-Net framework. On a large set of multimodal medical images, we compared our proposed framework, MDU-CNN, to the classical U-Net. There have been small changes in the case of perfect images, and a huge improvement is obtained in the case of difficult images. We tested our model on five distinct datasets, each of which presented unique challenges, and found that it has obtained a better performance of 1.32%, 5.19%, 4.50%, 10.23% and 0.87%, respectively.
