Abstract Liver cancer has the second highest incidence rate among all types of malignant tumors, and currently, its diagnosis heavily depends on doctors’ manual labeling of CT scan images, a process that is time-consuming and susceptible to subjective errors. To address the aforementioned issues, we propose an automatic segmentation model for liver and tumors called Res2Swin Unet, which is based on the Unet architecture. The model combines Attention-Res2 and Swin Transformer modules for liver and tumor segmentation, respectively. Attention-Res2 merges multiple feature map parts with an Attention gate via skip connections, while Swin Transformer captures long-range dependencies and models the input… More >

Abstract In the recent days, the segmentation of Liver Tumor (LT) has been demanding and challenging. The process of segmenting the liver and accurately spotting the tumor is demanding due to the diversity of shape, texture, and intensity of the liver image. The intensity similarities of the neighboring organs of the liver create difficulties during liver segmentation. The manual segmentation does not provide an accurate segmentation because the results provided by different medical experts can vary. Also, this manual technique requires a large number of image slices and time for segmentation. To solve these issues, the Fully Automatic Segmentation (FAS) technique… More >
