Abstract
Convolutional long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are leveraged to segment and/or quantify medical imaging data. A multi-branch architecture makes use of an attention branch and a main branch. The main branch includes a dense block followed by a segmentation head, and is configured to consider a single input slice of the imaging data. This main branch is able to segment larger and easier-to-classify targets. The attention branch, however, makes use of a sequential processor that includes a convolutional LSTM (ConvLSTM) followed by a segmentation head and an attention head. This attention branch is configured to process an input slice and additional adjacent slices. This attention branch is able to segment smaller and more difficult to classify targets.
