Medical Ethics / Professional Responsibility

CSAP-UNet: Convolution and self-attention paralleling network for medical image segmentation with edge enhancement.

Convolution operation is performed within a local window of the input image. Therefore, convolutional neural network (CNN) is skilled in obtaining local information. Meanwhile, the self-attention (SA) mechanism extracts features by calculating the correlation between tokens from all positions in the image, which has advantage in obtaining global information. Therefore, the two modules can compleme...
