We
propose a novel gradient-based meta-learning scheme to tackle the challenges
when deploying the model to a different medical center with the lack of labeled
data. Evaluation
results show that
our approach outperformed the existing naive U-Net methods.
Figure 1. The schematic illustration of the
meta-learning-based zonal segmentation network combines a 2D U-Net and an
adversarial network for determining the shape prior.
Figure 2. Validation result of meta-learning based zonal
segmentation model with the adversarial network, where (a) presents the T2w
images, (b) shows the ground truth of zonal label, and (c) states the results
of our approach. The CZ is masked in green, and PZ is in red.
