The paper presents an improved U-Net based deep learning technique for end-to-end automated semantic segmentation of CT scan images to identify renal tumors. The proposed model incorporates residual connections, multi-layer feature fusion, cross-channel attention, and skip connections with additional information derived from these features. The model is evaluated on the KiTS19 dataset, achieving high accuracy in kidney (DSC=0.97, JI=0.95) and tumor segmentation (DSC=0.96, JI=0.91). Compared to current leading models, the proposed approach outperforms them in terms of DSC scores.

This paper is about using computers to help doctors diagnose kidney cancer by looking at CT scans. The problem is that there are many different types of kidney tumors and it’s hard for radiologists to tell them apart just from looking at images. The researchers developed a new way to use deep learning, called the U-Net method, to automatically identify kidney tumors on CT scans. They tested their approach on a large dataset of 210 patients and found that it was very accurate. This could be a big help for doctors trying to diagnose and treat kidney cancer.
