Abstract Segmenting a breast ultrasound image is still challenging due to the presence of speckle noise, dependency on the operator, and the variation of image quality. This paper presents the UltraSegNet architecture that addresses these challenges through three key technical innovations: This work adds three things: (1) a changed ResNet-50 backbone with sequential 3 convolutions to keep fine anatomical details that are needed for finding lesion boundaries; (2) a computationally efficient regional attention mechanism that works on high-resolution features without using a transformer’s extra memory; and (3) an adaptive feature fusion strategy that changes local and… More >
