CDSegNet: a multi-scale convolution and attention mechanism U-shaped network for Crohn's disease lesion segmentation

An improved AI model segments Crohn's disease lesions on CT imaging better than standard methods, pending multi-center testing.

CDSegNet, a U-Net variant with residual dilated convolutions and multi-scale attention, improves Crohn's disease CTE lesion segmentation by 10-12% over U-Net baseline. Multi-center external validation required before clinical deployment.
