构建首个头颈CT肿块分割数据集,涵盖肿瘤与囊肿并提出新模型实现领先效果。
MasHeNe: A Benchmark for Head and Neck CT Mass Segmentation using Window-Enhanced Mamba with Frequency-Domain Integration
- 采用三窗增强与多频注意力融合,提升图像特征表达能力
- 在3779张切片上达到Dice 70.45%、IoU 66.89%的分割性能
- 适合医学影像分割研究者,尤其关注非恶性病变的场景
头颈部肿块是占据空间的病灶,可能压迫气道、食管,并影响神经和血管。现有公开数据集多聚焦于恶性病变,常忽略该区域其他占位性情况。为此,我们提出了MasHeNe,一个包含3,779张增强CT切片的初始数据集,涵盖肿瘤与囊肿,并提供像素级标注。我们还建立了基于标准分割基线的基准测试,报告常用指标以实现公平比较。此外,我们提出窗增强与频域融合的Mamba模型(WEMF):先通过三窗增强丰富输入外观,再利用多频注意力在U型Mamba主干的跳跃连接间融合信息。在MasHeNe上,WEMF优于所有评估方法,取得Dice 70.45%、IoU 66.89%、NSD 72.33%和HD95 5.12 mm的成绩。该模型在这一挑战性任务中表现稳定且优异。MasHeNe为头颈部肿块分割提供了超越仅恶性病变的数据基准。观察到的误差模式表明,该任务仍具挑战性,需进一步研究。数据集与代码已开源至https://github.com/drthaodao3101/MasHeNe.git。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Head and neck masses are space-occupying lesions that can compress the airway and esophagus and may affect nerves and blood vessels. Available public datasets primarily focus on malignant lesions and often overlook other space-occupying conditions in this region. To address this gap, we introduce MasHeNe, an initial dataset of 3,779 contrast-enhanced CT slices that includes both tumors and cysts with pixel-level annotations. We also establish a benchmark using standard segmentation baselines and report common metrics to enable fair comparison. In addition, we propose the Windowing-Enhanced Mamba with Frequency integration (WEMF) model. WEMF applies tri-window enhancement to enrich the input appearance before feature extraction. It further uses multi-frequency attention to fuse information across skip connections within a U-shaped Mamba backbone. On MasHeNe, WEMF attains the best performance among evaluated methods, with a Dice of 70.45%, IoU of 66.89%, NSD of 72.33%, and HD95 of 5.12 mm. This model indicates stable and strong results on this challenging task. MasHeNe provides a benchmark for head-and-neck mass segmentation beyond malignancy-only datasets. The observed error patterns also suggest that this task remains challenging and requires further research. Our dataset and code are available at https://github.com/drthaodao3101/MasHeNe.git.
