Shallow fully-connected neural networks for ischemic stroke-lesion segmentation in MRI

Christian Lucas, Oskar Maier, Mattias P. Heinrich

Abstract

Automatic image segmentation of stroke lesions could be of great importance for aiding the treatment decision. Convolutional neural networks obtain high accuracy for this task at the cost of prohibitive computational demand for time-sensitive clinical scenarios. In this work, we study the use of classical fully-connected neural networks (FC-NN) based on hand-crafted features, which achieve much shorter runtimes. We show that recent advances in optimization and regularization of deep learning can be successfully transferred to FC-NNs to improve the training process and achieve comparable accuracy to random decision forests.
