Method and system for intracerebral hemorrhage detection and segmentation based on a multi-task fully convolutional network

Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for detecting an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The system includes a communication interface configured to receive a sequence of image slices and an end-to-end multi-task learning model. The sequence of image slices is the head scan images of a subject acquired by an image acquisition device. The end-to-end multi-task learning model includes an encoder, a bi-directional Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (ConvRNN), a decoder, and a classifier. The system further includes at least one processor configured to extract feature maps from each image slice using the encoder, capture contextual information between adjacent image slices using the bi-directional ConvRNN, and detect the ICH of the subject using the classifier based on the extracted feature maps of the image slices and the contextual information or segment each image slice using the decoder to obtain an ICH region based on the extracted feature maps of the image slice.
