  • 适合医学影像检测、小目标识别研究者参考。

肺结节是肺癌早期诊断的关键指标,其检测对及时治疗至关重要。然而,传统CT成像方法存在流程繁琐、检出率低、定位不准等问题。复杂肺部CT图像中结节与周围组织差异微弱,加之特征提取网络的重复下采样,常导致小结节漏检或误检。现有方法如FPN因固定特征融合和感受野有限,难以有效应对上述挑战。本文提出MSDet,一种用于小肺结节检测的多尺度注意力与感受野增强网络。引入扩展感受域(ERD)策略以获取更丰富的上下文信息,减少因结节遮挡导致的假阳性;提出位置通道注意力机制(PCAM),优化特征学习并降低多尺度检测误差;设计小目标检测块(TODB),强化对微小结节的检测能力。在公开数据集LUNA16上进行充分实验,相较此前最先进方法YOLOv8,mAP提升8.8%。该改进显著提升了检测准确性和可靠性,为早期肺癌诊断提供了更有效的解决方案。代码将开源于https://github.com/CaiGuoHui123/MSDet。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Pulmonary nodules are critical indicators for the early diagnosis of lung cancer, making their detection essential for timely treatment. However, traditional CT imaging methods suffered from cumbersome procedures, low detection rates, and poor localization accuracy. The subtle differences between pulmonary nodules and surrounding tissues in complex lung CT images, combined with repeated downsampling in feature extraction networks, often lead to missed or false detections of small nodules. Existing methods such as FPN, with its fixed feature fusion and limited receptive field, struggle to effectively overcome these issues. To address these challenges, our paper proposed three key contributions: Firstly, we proposed MSDet, a multiscale attention and receptive field network for detecting tiny pulmonary nodules. Secondly, we proposed the extended receptive domain (ERD) strategy to capture richer contextual information and reduce false positives caused by nodule occlusion. We also proposed the position channel attention mechanism (PCAM) to optimize feature learning and reduce multiscale detection errors, and designed the tiny object detection block (TODB) to enhance the detection of tiny nodules. Lastly, we conducted thorough experiments on the public LUNA16 dataset, achieving state-of-the-art performance, with an mAP improvement of 8.8% over the previous state-of-the-art method YOLOv8. These advancements significantly boosted detection accuracy and reliability, providing a more effective solution for early lung cancer diagnosis.
