ABSTRACT
Efficient and rapid auxiliary diagnosis of different grades of lung adenocarcinoma is conducive to helping doctors accelerate individualized diagnosis and treatment processes, thus improving patient prognosis. Currently, there is often a problem of large intra-class differences and small inter-class differences between pathological images of lung adenocarcinoma tissues under different grades. If attention mechanisms such as Coordinate Attention (CA) are directly used for lung adenocarcinoma grading tasks, it is prone to excessive compression of feature information and overlooking the issue of information dependency within the same dimension. Therefore, we propose a Dimension Information Embedding Attention Network (DIEANet) for the task of lung adenocarcinoma grading. Specifically, we combine different pooling methods to automatically select local regions of key growth patterns such as lung adenocarcinoma cells, enhancing the model's focus on local information. Additionally, we employ an interactive fusion approach to concentrate feature information within the same dimension and across dimensions, thereby improving model performance. Extensive experiments have shown that under the condition of maintaining equal computational expenses, the accuracy of DIEANet with ResNet34 as the backbone reaches 88.19%, with an AUC of 96.61%, MCC of 81.71%, and Kappa of 81.16%. Compared to seven other attention mechanisms, it achieves state-of-the-art objective metrics. Additionally, it aligns more closely with the visual attention of pathology experts under subjective visual assessment.
