Query: Asymmetric 3D Context Fusion for Universal Lesion Detection   Modeling 3D context is essential for high-performance 3D medical image
analysis. Although 2D networks benefit from large-scale 2D supervised
pretraining, it is weak in capturing 3D context. 3D networks are strong in 3D
context yet lack supervised pretraining. As an emerging technique, \emph{3D
context fusion operator}, which enables conversion from 2D pretrained networks,
leverages the advantages of both and has achieved great success. Existing 3D
context fusion operators are designed to be spatially symmetric, i.e.,
performing identical operations on each 2D slice like convolutions. However,
these operators are not truly equivariant to translation, especially when only
a few 3D slices are used as inputs. In this paper, we propose a novel
asymmetric 3D context fusion operator (A3D), which uses different weights to
fuse 3D context from different 2D slices. Notably, A3D is NOT
translation-equivariant while it significantly outperforms existing symmetric
context fusion operators without introducing large computational overhead. We
validate the effectiveness of the proposed method by extensive experiments on
DeepLesion benchmark, a large-scale public dataset for universal lesion
detection from computed tomography (CT). The proposed A3D consistently
outperforms symmetric context fusion operators by considerable margins, and
establishes a new \emph{state of the art} on DeepLesion. To facilitate open
research, our code and model in PyTorch are available at
