RenalTCN: A Hybrid Transformer-Convolutional Architecture with Composite Loss Functions for Robust Kidney Tumor Segmentation
Segmenting tumors from computed tomography (CT) scans of the kidneys can help to guide surgical procedures, monitor treatment efficacy, and to predict outcomes for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the extreme foreground–background class imbalance, wide morphological heterogeneity of renal masses, and...
