Towards Robust Lung Segmentation in Chest Radiographs with Deep Learning
Jyoti Islam, Yanqing Zhang
Automated segmentation of Lungs plays a crucial role in the computer-aided diagnosis of chest X-Ray (CXR) images. Developing an efficient Lung segmentation model is challenging because of difficulties such as the presence of several edges at the rib cage and clavicle, inconsistent lung shape among different individuals, and the appearance of the lung apex. In this paper, we propose a robust model for Lung segmentation in Chest Radiographs. Our model learns to ignore the irrelevant regions in an input Chest Radiograph while highlighting regions useful for lung segmentation. The proposed model is evaluated on two public chest X-Ray datasets (Montgomery County, MD, USA, and Shenzhen No. 3 People's Hospital in China). The experimental result with a DICE score of 98.6% demonstrates the robustness of our proposed lung segmentation approach.
