However, limited by the inherent limitations of convolution, CNNs-based methods usually exhibit limitations in modeling long-range dependencies and are unable to extract large amounts of global contextual information, which deprives neural networks of the ability to adapt to different visual modalities. In this paper, we propose our own model, which is called iU-Net bacause its structure closely resembles the combination of i and U. iU-Net is a multiple encoder-decoder structure combining Swin Transformer and CNN. We use a hierarchical Swin Transformer structure with shifted windows as the primary encoder and convolution as the secondary encoder to complement the context information extracted by the primary encoder. To sufficiently fuse the feature information extracted from multiple encoders, we design a feature fusion module (W-FFM) based on wave function representation. Besides, a three branch up sampling method(Tri-Upsample) has developed to replace the patch expand in the Swin Transformer, which can effectively avoid the Checkerboard Artifacts caused by the patch expand. <\/jats:p><jats:p>On the skin lesion region segmentation task, the segmentation performance of iU-Net is optimal, with Dice and Iou reaching 90.12% and 83.06%, respectively. To verify the generalization of iU-Net, we used the model trained on ISIC2018 dataset to test on PH2 dataset, and achieved 93.80% Dice and 88.74% IoU. On the lung feild segmentation task, the iU-Net achieved optimal results on IoU and Precision, reaching 98.54% and 94.35% respectively. Extensive experiments demonstrate the segmentation performance and generalization ability of iU-Net.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13040-023-00320-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]],"date-time":"2023-02-21T07:05:27Z","timestamp":1676963127000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["iU-Net: a hybrid structured network with a novel feature fusion approach for medical image segmentation"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yun","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinkun","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tongtong","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"320_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ronneberger O, Fischer P, Brox T.
