Vision Transformer-based Multimodal Feature Fusion Network for Lymphoma Segmentation on PET/CT Images

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) segmentation is a challenge in medical image analysis. Traditional segmentation methods for lymphoma struggle with the complex patterns and the presence of DLBCL lesions. Objective: We aim to develop an accurate method for lymphoma segmentation with 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) images. Methods: Our lymphoma segmentation approach combines a vision transformer with dual encoders, adeptly fusing PET and CT data via multimodal cross-attention fusion (MMCAF) module. In this study, PET …
