SpineContextResUNet is a lightweight 3D Residual U‑Net that uses a Context Block with parallel multi‑dilated convolutions to efficiently capture long‑range anatomical dependencies for spine CT segmentation. It achieves Dice scores of 88.17% on VerSe2020 and 88.13% on CTSpine1K while maintaining a small ~1.7 M parameter footprint. Compared to resource‑heavy Transformers and baselines that fail on commodity hardware, SpineContextResUNet delivers robust inference on edge devices such as the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano.

The paper presents a lightweight, energy‑efficient lung tumor segmentation model that combines the ENet architecture with UNet‑style skip connections and a lightweight Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM). Trained on TCIA data and evaluated on LIDC‑IDRI, the model achieves a Dice score of 0.90812 while using only 430,052 parameters and 0.549 GMAC, making it up to 10 times faster and far less computationally demanding than UNet or SegNet. Grad‑CAM is employed to provide visual interpretability and highlight areas needing improvement.

The study evaluates four deep‑learning segmentation architectures—Unet, PSPNet, Linknet, and FPN—paired with six pre‑trained encoders to predict COVID‑19 lesions in CT images. Experiments on three COVID‑19 CT datasets show high accuracy, achieving a maximum binary F1‑score of 98% and multi‑class F1‑scores of 75% and 77%. The work aims to provide a standardized performance benchmark for medical image segmentation and a reference for other imaging scenarios.

MoSSGate is a plug‑and‑play module for U‑Net that improves skin lesion segmentation by combining boundary‑aware spatial gating, an external memory modulator, and parallel 2D state‑space modeling for efficient global context aggregation. The design limits long‑range propagation to informative regions, adapts dynamically to each sample, and preserves sharp lesion boundaries while keeping computational cost low. Experiments on ISIC 2017 and 2018 show state‑of‑the‑art accuracy (86.3%/85.9% mIoU, 92.6%/90.6% Dice) with fewer FLOPs than most CNN baselines.
MTMed3D is a multi-task Transformer-based model that jointly performs 3D detection, segmentation, and classification in medical imaging. It uses a shared Transformer encoder to produce multi-scale features, with separate CNN decoders for each task. Evaluated on BraTS 2018 and 2019, it achieves strong results, especially in detection, while reducing computational cost and inference time compared to single-task models.
