摘要
En 中文
Different brain tumor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities provide diverse tumor-specific information. Previous works have enhanced brain tumor segmentation performance by integrating multiple MRI modalities. However, multi-modal MRI data are often unavailable in clinical practice. An incomplete modality leads to missing tumor-specific information, which degrades the performance of existing models. Various strategies have been proposed to transfer knowledge from a full modality network (teacher) to an incomplete modality one (student) to address this issue. However, they neglect the fact that brain tumor segmentation is a structural prediction problem that requires voxel semantic relations. In this paper, we propose a Reconstruct Incomplete Relation Network (RIRN) that transfers voxel semantic relational knowledge from the teacher to the student. Specifically, we propose two types of voxel relations to incorporate structural knowledge: Class-relative relations (CRR) and Class-agnostic relations (CAR). The CRR groups voxels into different tumor regions and constructs a relation between them. The CAR builds a global relation between all voxel features, complementing the local inter-region relation. Moreover, we use adversarial learning to align the holistic structural prediction between the teacher and the student. Extensive experimentation on both the BraTS 2018 and BraTS 2020 datasets establishes that our method outperforms all state-of-the-art approaches.
