Recognitions

  1. Recognition in the AI community: We published a method and an AI model called VSmTrans for segmenting objects body wide in tomographic images during the previous reporting period: Liu T, Bai Q, Drew A. Torigian DA, Tong Y, Udupa JK. VSmTrans: A Hybrid Paradigm  Integrating Self-attention and Convolution for 3D Medical Image Segmentation, Medical Image Analysis, 98, 103295, 2024. The publicly shared model for VSmTrans overwhelmingly topped the rank list in a recent large-scale independent external benchmarking, which compared 20 different competitive methods (Bassi PRAS, Zhou Z, et al. Touchstone Benchmark: Are We on the Right Way for Evaluating AI Algorithms for Medical Segmentation? 2024/11/06. doi: 10.48550/arXiv.2411.03670) using ~9K training CT scans, and ~5K test scans. VSmTrans achieved an overall Dice accuracy of 89.8% on 25 objects, while the closest 2nd rank method could segment only 9 objects yielding a Dice accuracy of 87.4%
