Dual-attention transformer-based hybrid network for multi-modal medical image segmentation.

ABSTRACT: Accurate medical image segmentation plays a vital role in clinical practice. Convolutional Neural Network and Transformer are mainstream architectures for this task. However, convolutional neural network lacks the ability of modeling global dependency while Transformer cannot extract local details. In this paper, we propose DATTNet, Dual ATTention Network, an encoder-decoder deep learning model for medical image segmentation. DATTNet is exploited in hierarchical fashion with two novel components: (1) Dual Attention module is designed to model global dependency in spatial and channel dimensions. (2) Context Fusion Bridge is presented to remix the feature maps with multiple scales and construct their correlations. The experiments on ACDC, Synapse and Kvasir-SEG datasets are conducted to eval
