Abstract(in English) Multi-phase computed tomography (CT) images are widely used for the diagnosis of liver disease, since different phase has different contrast enhancement (i.e., different domain), the multi-phase CT images should be annotated for all phase images for liver or tumor segmentation, which is a time-consuming and labor-expensive task. To lower the cost of manual annotation and domain shift problem, we propose an adversarial unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) method for liver segmentation of multi-phase CT images with only single-phase annotation. The framework consists of two modules: a generator and a discriminator. We have employed U-Net as a generator as it is designed for medical image segmentation. We first use the annotated source images to train the generator only. Then we use the adversarial learning to train both generator and discriminator to minimize the difference between the source heatmap and target heatmap (domain shift). The refined generator is used for multi-phase CT image segmentation. To perform liver segmentation, initially, we have conducted experiments within each phase of our internal MPCT-FLL dataset (i.e., by utilizing the PV phase as the source and the ART phase as the target). Further, we use the publicly available LiTS dataset which consists of annotated PV phase images as the source domain, and each phase of our internal MPCT-FLL dataset i.e., (PV, ART, NC phase) as a target domain. The experimental results of this work suggest consistent and comparable improvement in the performance of our liver tumor segmentation over the previously reported state-of-the-art methods.
