Implementation Guide for Few-Shot Brain Tumor Segmentation

1. Project Setup

Overview:

- Base Classes: Train the base model on ImageNet or COCO for generic object segmentation.

- Novel Classes: Implement two classes specifically for brain tumor segmentation:

- Tumor_Yes: The region has a tumor.

- Tumor_No: The region does not contain a tumor.

2. Data Preparation

Data Format:

- Use JPEG images converted into patches (sub-images) of the brain regions from MRI scans.

- Label patches with binary classes Tumor_Yes or Tumor_No.

Data Augmentation:

- Apply typical medical imaging augmentations: random scaling, horizontal/vertical flipping, rotation, and cropping to

512x512 pixels.

3. Model Architecture

Feature Extractor:

- Initialize a ResNet backbone or U-Net for segmentation tasks.

- Add a Masked Average Pooling (MAP) layer to extract prototypes for each patch.

Prototype-based Learning:

- Use MAP to calculate class prototypes for Tumor_Yes and Tumor_No patches, which will be used in the incremental

few-shot steps.

4. Incremental Few-Shot Learning Steps

1. Base Step:

- Train the model on the base dataset (COCO or ImageNet) for initial segmentation.

2. Few-Shot Incremental Step:

- Fine-tune the model with prototypes for Tumor_Yes and Tumor_No.

- Apply a distillation loss to avoid forgetting base knowledge using the stored prototypes.

Example Code for Incremental Training

# Initialize optimizer and define learning rate for fine-tuning on novel classes

optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3, momentum=0.9, weight_decay=1e-4)

base_epochs = 20 # Adjust based on dataset

for epoch in range(base_epochs):

model.train()

for images, labels in base_loader: # Base training loop

optimizer.zero_grad()

outputs = model(images)

loss = criterion(outputs, labels) # e.g., CrossEntropyLoss

loss.backward()

optimizer.step()

# Incremental step with prototypes for Tumor_Yes and Tumor_No classes

few_shot_epochs = 10 # For fine-tuning novel classes

Implementation Guide for Few-Shot Brain Tumor Segmentation

for epoch in range(few_shot_epochs):

model.train()

for images, labels in few_shot_loader:

optimizer.zero_grad()

outputs = model(images)

prototype_loss = prototype_distillation_loss(outputs, labels, prototypes) # Custom distillation

function

prototype_loss.backward()

optimizer.step()

5. Distillation and Evaluation

Prototype-based Distillation Loss:

- Implement a custom distillation loss function to balance the model's understanding of both base and novel classes by

comparing the model?s output with stored prototypes.

Evaluation:

- Evaluate on tumor patches to check if the network outputs Tumor_Yes for tumor-containing patches and Tumor_No

otherwise.

6. Inference for Tumor Detection

At inference, classify each patch as follows:

- Calculate the similarity score between each patch feature and the Tumor_Yes and Tumor_No prototypes.

- Assign Tumor_Yes if similarity with the Tumor_Yes prototype exceeds a threshold; otherwise, assign Tumor_No.

Example Code for Inference

Page 3
Implementation Guide for Few-Shot Brain Tumor Segmentation

def classify_patch(model, patch, tumor_prototype, no_tumor_prototype, threshold=0.5):

patch_feature = model.extract_feature(patch)

tumor_score = torch.cosine_similarity(patch_feature, tumor_prototype)

no_tumor_score = torch.cosine_similarity(patch_feature, no_tumor_prototype)

return "Tumor_Yes" if tumor_score > threshold else "Tumor_No"
