Abstract

Organ segmentation is a crucial task in various medical imaging applications. Many deep learning models have been developed to do this, but they are slow and require a lot of computational resources. To solve this problem, attention mechanisms are used which can locate important objects of interest within medical images, allowing the model to segment them accurately even when there is noise or artifact. By paying attention to specific anatomical regions, the model becomes better at segmentation. Medical images have unique features in the form of anatomical information, which makes them different from natural images. Unfortunately, most deep learning methods either ignore this information or do not use it effectively and explicitly. Combined natural intelligence with artificial intelligence, known as hybrid intelligence, has shown promising results in medical image segmentation, making models more robust and able to perform well in challenging situations. In this paper, we propose several methods and models to find attention regions in medical images for deep learning-based segmentation via non-deep-learning methods. We developed these models and trained them using hybrid intelligence concepts. To evaluate their performance, we tested the models on unique test data and analyzed metrics including false negatives quotient and false positives quotient. Our findings demonstrate that object shape and layout variations can be explicitly learned to create computational models that are suitable for each anatomic object. This work opens new possibilities for advancements in medical image segmentation and analysis.
