Conventional supervised methods are effective techniques for image segmentation. Recently, semi-supervised segmentation approaches have been reported in the literature. One popular technique for semi-supervised methods is to use pseudo-labels to artificially annotate unlabeled data. However, many existing pseudo-label generations rely on a fixed threshold used to generate a confidence map, regardless of the proportion of unlabeled and labeled data.</p></div><div><h3>Materials and Methods</h3><p>To address this issue, we propose a novel semi-supervised framework called Confidence-based Threshold Adaptation Network (CTANet) to improve the quality of pseudo-labels. Specifically, we propose an online pseudo-labels method to automatically adjust the threshold, producing high-confident unlabeled annotations and boosting segmentation accuracy. To further improve the network's generalization to fit the diversity of different patients, we design a novel mixup strategy by regularizing the network on each layer in the decoder part and introducing a consistency regularization loss between the outputs of two sub-networks in CTANet.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>We compare our method with several state-of-the-art semi-supervised segmentation methods on the same uterine fibroids dataset containing 297 patients. The performance is evaluated by the Dice similarity coefficient, the precision, and the recall. The results show that our method outperforms other semi-supervised learning methods. Moreover, for the same training set, our method approaches the segmentation performance of a fully supervised U-Net (100% annotated data) but using 4 times less annotated data (25% annotated data, 75% unannotated data).</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Experimental results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed semi-supervised approach.
