VGG16-MCA UNet: Whole-Tumor Segmentation in 2D FLAIR MRI with Decoder-Side Channel Attention
Automated brain tumor segmentation supports diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of disease progression, but building models that generalize across heterogeneous tumors and limited annotated data remains difficult. We present VGG16-MCA UNet, a hybrid architecture pairing an ImageNet-pretrained VGG16 encoder wi...
