VGG16-MCA UNet: Whole-Tumor Segmentation in 2D FLAIR MRI with Decoder-Side Channel Attention
VGG16-MCA UNet is presented, a hybrid architecture pairing an ImageNet-pretrained VGG16 encoder with a decoder in which a Multi-Channel Attention (MCA) module recalibrates features after each skip-connection fusion, trained with the Focal Tversky loss to counter severe foreground-background imbalance.
