ICH-SCNet: Intracerebral Hemorrhage Segmentation and Prognosis Classification Network Using CLIP-guided SAM mechanism

Abstract

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most fatal subtype of stroke and is characterized by a high incidence of disability. Accurate segmentation of the ICH region and prognosis prediction are critically important for developing and refining treatment plans for post-ICH patients. However, existing approaches address these two tasks independently and predominantly focus on imaging data alone, thereby neglecting the intrinsic correlation between the tasks and modalities. This paper introduces a multi-task network, ICH-SCNet, designed for both ICH segmentation and prognosis classification. Specifically, we integrate a SAM-CLIP cross-modal interaction mechanism that combines medical text and segmentation auxiliary information with neuroimaging data to enhance cross-modal feature recognition. Additionally, we develop an effective feature fusion module and a multi-task loss function to improve performance further. Extensive experiments on an ICH dataset reveal that our approach surpasses other state-of-the-art methods. It excels in the overall performance of classification tasks and outperforms competing models in all segmentation task metrics.
