MMSupcon: An image fusion-based multi-modal supervised contrastive method for brain tumor diagnosis

Abstract

The diagnosis of brain tumors is pivotal for effective treatment, with MRI serving as a commonly used non-invasive diagnostic modality in clinical practices. Fundamentally, brain tumor diagnosis is a type of pattern recognition task that requires the integration of information from multi-modal MRI images. However, existing fusion strategies are hinder by the scarcity of multi-modal imaging samples. In this paper, we propose a new training paradigm tailored for the scenario of multi-modal imaging in brain tumor diagnosis, called multi-modal supervised contrastive learning method (MMSupcon). This method significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy through two key components: multi-modal medical image fusion and multi-modal supervised contrastive loss. First, the fusion component integrates complementary imaging modalities to generate information-rich samples. Second, by introducing fused samples to guide …
