• Abstract

Abstract—Automatic extraction of liver and tumor from CT
volumes is a challenging task due to their heterogeneous and
diffusive shapes. Recently, 2D and 3D deep convolutional neural
networks have become popular in medical image segmentation
tasks because of the utilization of large labeled datasets to
learn hierarchical features. However, 3D networks have some
drawbacks due to their high cost on computational resources.
In this paper, we propose a 3D hybrid residual attention-aware
segmentation method, named RA-UNet, to precisely extract the
liver volume of interests (VOI) and segment tumors from the
liver VOI. The proposed network has a basic architecture as a
3D U-Net which extracts contextual information combining lowlevel
feature maps with high-level ones. Attention modules are
stacked so that the attention-aware features change adaptively
as the network goes “very deep” and this is made possible by
residual learning. This is the first work that an attention residual
mechanism is used to process medical volumetric images. We
evaluated our framework on the public MICCAI 2017 Liver
Tumor Segmentation dataset and the 3DIRCADb dataset. The
results show that our architecture outperforms other state-ofthe-art
methods. We also extend our RA-UNet to brain tumor
segmentation on the BraTS2018 and BraTS2017 datasets, and
the results indicate that RA-UNet achieves good performance on
a brain tumor segmentation task as well.
Index Terms—medical image segmentation, tumor extraction,
U-Net, residual learning, attention mechanism.
