Automatic multimodal image segmentation is considered a challenging research area in the biomedical field. U-shaped models have led to an enormous breakthrough in a large domain of medical image segmentation in recentyears. The receptive field plays an essential role in convolutionalneural networks because too small a receptive field limits context information, and too large loses localization accuracy. Despite outstanding overall performance in biomedical segmenting, classical UNet architecture uses a fixed receptive field in convolutions operations. This study proposes a few modifications in classical UNet architecture by adjusting the receptive field via feature-fused module and attention gate mechanism. Compared with baseline UNet, the numerical parameters of FF-UNet (3.94 million) is 51% of classical UNet architecture (7.75 million). Furthermore, we extended our model performance by introducing …
