Spectrally-Enforced Global Receptive Field For Contextual Medical Image Segmentation And Classification

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recalibrated the state-of-the-art for a plethora of applications in medical image analyzing such as segmentation and classification. Large receptive field is crucial for modeling long-range spatial dependency in medical images. In this paper, we propose a novel architectural network design for accomplishing a full-image global receptive field, which we call spectral residual block (SRB). Specifically, we propose to utilize a unitary transform that essentially conducts a local-to-global transform. All elements are mapped to spectral domain and thus globally depend on each other. A variety of global operators are carefully devised and efficiently enforce a full-image receptive field, including spectral ReLU for frequency-sensitive filtering and spectral convolutions. The output in spectral domain is eventually converted back global-to-local via a reverse unitary transform. The proposed framework is generic and flexible, and could be applied to various network structures and tasks. Comprehensive evaluations on skin lesion segmentation and Chest X-Ray classification show that our method achieves the state-of-the-art performance, demonstrating both effectiveness and efficiency.
