Abstract The segmentation of head and neck (H&N) tumors in dual Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) imaging is a critical task in medical imaging, providing essential information for diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome prediction. Motivated by the need for more accurate and robust segmentation methods, this study addresses key research gaps in the application of deep learning techniques to multimodal medical images. Specifically, it investigates the limitations of existing 2D and 3D models in capturing complex tumor structures and proposes an innovative 2.5D UNet Transformer model as a solution. The primary research questions guiding this study… More >
