Automatic segmentation of chest X-ray images via deep-improved various U-Net techniques
The U-Net9 architecture offers a superior solution for CXR image segmentation. It combines high segmentation accuracy with computational practicality, making it suitable for real-world applications. Its implementation can support radiologists by enabling faster and more reliable diagnoses. This can lead to improved clinical decision-making and reduced diagnostic delays. Future work will focus on integrating U-Net9 with multimodal imaging data, such as combining CXR with computerized tomography or MRI scans. Additionally, exploration of advanced architectures, including attention mechanisms and hybrid models, is planned to further enhance segmentation performance.
