Abstract

The application relates to the technical field of medical image segmentation, in particular to a 3D medical image segmentation method based on an attenuation attention network, which comprises the following steps: inputting a 3D medical image into an encoder, inputting the features extracted by the encoder into a decoder, performing feature restoration on the decoder, and outputting a final segmentation mask; judging the pixel region of the medical image by using the segmentation mask to obtain a 3D medical image segmentation result; the encoder layer and the decoder both comprise a layered multi-attention layer, the layered multi-attention layer comprises a ResConv block for extracting fine-grained texture features, an attenuation spatial activation attention block for performing global information enhancement on the input features and the features output by the ResConv block, and a top-k perception attention mechanism block; and the top-k perception attention mechanism performs global interaction on the input features and the output features of the attenuation spatial activation attention block. The application aims to solve the problems of insufficient CNN global modeling and local detail loss of the Transformer in the prior art.
