CSWinUNETR: Deep Learning Model Segments Thin Anatomical Structures with Cross-Shaped Self-Attention
Researchers propose CSWinUNETR, a deep learning backbone for 2D and 3D segmentation of thin anatomical structures such as retinal vessels, cerebral vasculature, and facial wrinkles. The model employs cross-shaped stripe self-attention, cyclic shifts, and sparse-control dynamic snake convolution to improve segmentation accuracy. It outperforms state-of-the-art methods on four benchmarks without task-specific post-processing.
