SwinCross: Cross-modal Swin Transformer for Head-and-Neck Tumor Segmentation in PET/CT Images

no code implementations8 Feb 2023 Gary Y. Li, Junyu Chen, Se-In Jang, Kuang Gong, Quanzheng Li

Inspired by the recent success of Vision Transformers and advances in multi-modal image analysis, we propose a novel segmentation model, debuted, Cross-Modal Swin Transformer (SwinCross), with cross-modal attention (CMA) module to incorporate cross-modal feature extraction at multiple resolutions. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed experiments on the HECKTOR 2021 challenge dataset and compared it with the nnU-Net (the backbone of the top-5 methods in HECKTOR 2021) and other state-of-the-art transformer-based methods such as UNETR, and Swin UNETR.

A Noise-level-aware Framework for PET Image Denoising

no code implementations15 Mar 2022 Ye Li, Jianan Cui, Junyu Chen, Guodong Zeng, Scott Wollenweber, Floris Jansen, Se-In Jang, Kyungsang Kim, Kuang Gong, Quanzheng Li

Our hypothesis is that by explicitly providing the local relative noise level of the input image to a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), the DCNN can outperform itself trained on image appearance only.

Iterative PET Image Reconstruction Using Convolutional Neural Network Representation

1 code implementation9 Oct 2017 Kuang Gong, Jiahui Guan, Kyungsang Kim, Xuezhu Zhang, Georges El Fakhri, Jinyi Qi, Quanzheng Li

An innovative feature of the proposed method is that we embed the neural network in the iterative reconstruction framework for image representation, rather than using it as a post-processing tool.
