ABSTRACT
In this paper, we find a network which can achieve better result than the state of the art for Head and Neck Organ at Risks (OARs) segmentation. At first, we enumerate the popular networks, and sum up their characteristic. We extract the main components from these popular networks and we design experiment to evaluate these components. We split the experiment into two stage. At the first stage experiment, we try to find out which components and constructions can let the network achieve better result than baseline model, Unet, for H&N OAR segmentation. After finding out the useful components and constructions, we try to mix them up to build a novel network which absorbs all their merits. At last, we get a hybrid network, Attention-W-net which gets the best result and defeat the state of the art. All networks are evaluated on 16th CSTRO conference H&N OAR segmentation competition dataset.
