Abstract

Liver segmentation is instrumental for decision making in the medical realm for the diagnosis and treatment planning of hepatic diseases. However, the manual segmentation of the hundreds of CT images is tedious for medical experts. Thus, it hampers the segmentation accuracy and is reliant on opinion of the operator. This chapter presents the deep learning-based modified multi-scale UNet++ (M2UNet++) approach for automatic liver segmentation. The multi-scale features were modified channel-wise using adaptive feature recalibration to improve the representation of the high-level semantic information of the skip pathways and improved the segmentation performance with fewer computational overheads. The experimental results proved the model's efficacy on the publicly available 3DIRCADb dataset, which offers significant complexity and variations. The model's dice coefficient value is 97.28% that is 7.64%, and 2.24% improved from the UNet and UNet++ model. The quantitative result analysis shows that the M2UNet++ model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods proposed for liver segmentation.
