Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach for detecting ovarian cancer through image denoising and enhanced 3D U-Net segmentation. The proposed method incorporates an Enduring Noise Elimination Neural Network (ENEN) model architecture designed to encode input images into a lower-dimensional latent space and reconstruct the denoised images. This denoising process is crucial for improving the quality of medical images, which often suffer from noise due to various factors during acquisition. The denoised images are then subjected to segmentation, which partitions the image into multiple segments or regions to identify and delineate distinct objects or structures. Our segmentation approach utilizes the power of a 3D U-Net architecture, which extends the traditional 2D U-Net into three dimensions to handle volumetric data. The 3D U-Net is particularly effective in biomedical image segmentation tasks, making it an ideal choice for segmenting ovarian cancer regions in 3D medical scans. The model is trained to minimize the difference between the reconstructed image and the ground truth clean image during the denoising phase and then to accurately segment the denoised image. This method demonstrates significant improvements in the accuracy of ovarian cancer detection, highlighting the potential of combining advanced image denoising techniques with robust 3D segmentation architectures in medical imaging applications.
