ADSeg: A flap-attention-based deep learning approach for aortic dissection segmentation.

ABSTRACT: Accurate and rapid segmentation of the lumen in an aortic dissection (AD) is an important prerequisite for risk evaluation and medical planning for patients with this serious condition. Although some recent studies have pioneered technical advances for the challenging AD segmentation task, they generally neglect the intimal flap structure that separates the true and false lumens. Identification and segmentation of the intimal flap may simplify AD segmentation, and the incorporation of long-distance z axis information interaction along the curved aorta may improve segmentation accuracy. This study proposes a flap attention module that focuses on key flap voxels and performs operations with long-distance attention. In addition, a pragmatic cascaded network structure with feature reuse and a
