Automatic dual‐modality breast tumor segmentation in PET/CT images using CT‐guided transformer

We present a deep-learning-based method for the joint segmentation of anatomical and functional PET/CT images. Compared to single-modality and dual-modality methods with various fusion strategies, our approach significantly improves the accuracy of breast tumor delineation, demonstrating great potential for breast tumor diagnosis.

Abstract

We present a deep-learning-based method for the joint segmentation of anatomical and functional PET/CT images. Compared to single-modality and dual-modality methods with various fusion strategies, our approach significantly improves the accuracy of breast tumor delineation, demonstrating great potential for breast tumor diagnosis.
