本研究提出一种新型深度混合分割框架Residual-SwinCA-Net,用于解决乳腺超声图像中恶性病灶分割的挑战。该框架通过残差CNN模块提取局部相关且鲁棒的特征,并利用带有内部残差路径的定制Swin Transformer块学习全局依赖关系,增强梯度稳定性、细化局部模式并促进全局特征融合。为提升组织连续性与细结构过渡,引入拉普拉斯-高斯区域算子以抑制超声噪声,并采用边界导向算子保持病灶轮廓形态完整性。通过分阶段逐步缩减特征图的收缩策略,实现尺度不变性捕捉与结构可变性鲁棒性增强。每个解码器层级前均集成新型多尺度通道注意力与压缩(MSCAS)模块,选择性强化编码器显著特征图,保留判别性全局上下文与互补局部结构,同时以极低计算成本抑制冗余激活。最后,像素注意力模块自适应加权恶性病灶像素,抑制背景干扰。在公开的BUSI数据集上,所提框架优于现有CNN与ViT方法,实现99.29%平均准确率、98.74% IoU与0.9041 Dice系数,显著提升乳腺病灶诊断性能,助力临床决策及时化。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
A novel deep hybrid Residual-SwinCA-Net segmentation framework is proposed in the study for addressing such challenges by extracting locally correlated and robust features, incorporating residual CNN modules. Furthermore, for learning global dependencies, Swin Transformer blocks are customized using internal residual pathways, which reinforce gradient stability, refine local patterns, and facilitate global feature fusion. Formerly, for enhancing tissue continuity, ultrasound noise suppressions, and accentuating fine structural transitions Laplacian-of-Gaussian regional operator is applied, and for maintaining the morphological integrity of malignant lesion contours, a boundary-oriented operator has been incorporated. Subsequently, a contraction strategy was applied stage-wise by progressively reducing features-map progressively for capturing scale invariance and enhancing the robustness of structural variability. In addition, each decoder level prior augmentation integrates a new Multi-Scale Channel Attention and Squeezing (MSCAS) module. The MSCAS selectively emphasizes encoder salient maps, retains discriminative global context, and complementary local structures with minimal computational cost while suppressing redundant activations. Finally, the Pixel-Attention module encodes class-relevant spatial cues by adaptively weighing malignant lesion pixels while suppressing background interference. The Residual-SwinCA-Net and existing CNNs/ViTs techniques have been implemented on the publicly available BUSI dataset. The proposed Residual-SwinCA-Net framework outperformed and achieved 99.29% mean accuracy, 98.74% IoU, and 0.9041 Dice for breast lesion segmentation. The proposed Residual-SwinCA-Net framework improves the BUSI lesion diagnostic performance and strengthens timely clinical decision-making.
