N2 - We propose a new topology-preserving method for 3D image segmentation. We treat the image as a stack of 2D images so that the topological computation can be carried only within 2D in order to achieve computational efficiency. To enforce the continuity between slices, we propose a compound multi-slice representation and a compound multi-slice topological loss that incorporates rich topological information from adjacent slices. The quantitative and qualitative results show that our proposed method outperforms various strong baselines, especially for structure-related evaluation metrics.
