Several transformer-based models have been proposed to handle this issue in biomedical image segmentation. Despite this, segmentation accuracy remains an ongoing challenge, as these models often fall short of the target range due to their limited capacity to capture critical local and global contexts. However, the quadratic computational complexity is the main limitation of these models. Moreover, a large dataset is required to train those models.</div></div><div><h3>Methods:</h3><div>In this paper, we propose a novel multi-scale dual-channel decoder to mitigate this issue. The complete segmentation model uses two parallel encoders and a dual-channel decoder. The encoders are based on convolutional networks, which capture the features of the input images at multiple levels and scales. The decoder comprises a hierarchy of Attention-gated Swin Transformers with a fine-tuning strategy. The hierarchical Attention-gated Swin Transformers implements a multi-scale, multi-level feature embedding strategy that captures short and long-range dependencies and leverages the necessary features without increasing computational load. At the final stage of the decoder, a fine-tuning strategy is implemented that refines the features to keep the rich features and reduce the possibility of over-segmentation.</div></div><div><h3>Results:</h3><div>The proposed model is evaluated on publicly available LiTS, 3DIRCADb, and spleen datasets obtained from Medical Segmentation Decathlon.

Multiple studies have proposed two-dimensional CBUS plaque segmentation deep learning (DL)-based solutions, achieving promising results. In most of these studies, image standardization is not reported, while not all plaque types are represented.

We included the three data folds in their original version (O), generating also three preprocessed versions of them, namely, the resolution-normalized (R), the resolution- and intensity-normalized (RN), and the resolution- and intensity-normalized combined with despeckling (RND) versions.
