Abstract

PURPOSE: As a portable and radiation-free imaging modality, ultrasound can be easily used to image various types of tissue structures. It is important to develop a method which supports the multi-type ultrasound images co-segmentation. However, state-of-the-art ultrasound segmentation methods commonly only focus on the single type images or ignore the type-aware information.
