混合密集连接与Swin结构,提升脑肿瘤MRI分类精度。
A Tumor Aware DenseNet Swin Hybrid Learning with Boosted and Hierarchical Feature Spaces for Large-Scale Brain MRI Classification
- 双分支设计:局部纹理用定制DenseNet,全局形态用Swin_t
- 在4万张图像上达到98.50%准确率,显著降低误判
- 适合需要高精度诊断的医学影像分析场景
本研究提出一种高效的密集-多头混合(EDSH)框架,用于脑肿瘤MRI分析,旨在同时捕捉细粒度纹理模式和长程上下文依赖。设计了两种肿瘤感知实验设置:第一种采用增强特征空间(BFS),独立定制的DenseNet与Swin_t分支学习互补的局部与全局表示,经维度对齐、融合与增强,能敏感检测弥漫性胶质瘤的不规则形状、边界不清及异质纹理特征;第二种采用分层架构,结合深度特征提取与双重残差连接(DFE和DR),DenseNet作为主干网络学习结构化局部特征,Swin_t模型捕获肿瘤整体形态,有效抑制脑膜瘤和垂体瘤分类中的假阴性,通过学习明确的边界、位置(脑外)、肿块增生(硬膜尾征或向上延伸)等特征。DenseNet在输入层定制以匹配MRI空间特性,利用密集残差连接保留纹理信息并缓解梯度消失;Swin_t则通过任务对齐的块嵌入与移位窗口自注意力机制高效捕捉层次化全局依赖。在大规模脑肿瘤MRI数据集(40,260张图像,四类肿瘤)上的广泛评估显示,该方法优于单一CNN、视觉变换器及混合模型,在未见测试集上达到98.50%的准确率和召回率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study proposes an efficient Densely Swin Hybrid (EDSH) framework for brain tumor MRI analysis, designed to jointly capture fine grained texture patterns and long range contextual dependencies. Two tumor aware experimental setups are introduced to address class-specific diagnostic challenges. The first setup employs a Boosted Feature Space (BFS), where independently customized DenseNet and Swint branches learn complementary local and global representations that are dimension aligned, fused, and boosted, enabling highly sensitive detection of diffuse glioma patterns by successfully learning the features of irregular shape, poorly defined mass, and heterogeneous texture. The second setup adopts a hierarchical DenseNet Swint architecture with Deep Feature Extraction have Dual Residual connections (DFE and DR), in which DenseNet serves as a stem CNN for structured local feature learning, while Swin_t models global tumor morphology, effectively suppressing false negatives in meningioma and pituitary tumor classification by learning the features of well defined mass, location (outside brain) and enlargments in tumors (dural tail or upward extension). DenseNet is customized at the input level to match MRI spatial characteristics, leveraging dense residual connectivity to preserve texture information and mitigate vanishing-gradient effects. In parallel, Swint is tailored through task aligned patch embedding and shifted-window self attention to efficiently capture hierarchical global dependencies. Extensive evaluation on a large-scale MRI dataset (stringent 40,260 images across four tumor classes) demonstrates consistent superiority over standalone CNNs, Vision Transformers, and hybrids, achieving 98.50 accuracy and recall on the test unseen dataset.
