As Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) have shown robust performance and results in medical image analysis, a number of deep-learning-based tumor detection methods were developed in recent years. Nowadays, the automatic detection of pancreatic tumors using contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) is widely applied for the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer. Traditional hand-crafted methods only extract low-level features. Normal convolutional neural networks, however, fail to make full use of effective context information, which causes inferior detection results. In this paper, a novel and efficient pancreatic tumor detection framework aiming at fully exploiting the context information at multiple scales is designed. More specifically, the contribution of the proposed method mainly consists of three components: Augmented Feature Pyramid networks, Self-adaptive Feature Fusion and a Dependencies Computation (DC) Module. A bottom-up path augmentation to fully extract and propagate low-level accurate localization information is established firstly. Then, the Self-adaptive Feature Fusion can encode much richer context information at multiple scales based on the proposed regions. Finally, the DC Module is specifically designed to capture the interaction information between proposals and surrounding tissues. Experimental results achieve competitive performance in detection with the AUC of 0.9455, which outperforms other state-of-the-art methods to our best of knowledge, demonstrating the proposed framework can detect the tumor of pancreatic cancer efficiently and accurately.
