SegKAN is a new model for high‑resolution medical image segmentation that tackles fragmentation and noise in hepatic vessel CT scans. It replaces the standard embedding module with a novel convolutional network to smooth noise and avoid gradient explosion, and reinterprets spatial relationships between Patch blocks as temporal relationships to better capture positional dependencies. Experiments on a hepatic vessel dataset show a 1.78% improvement in Dice score over the current state‑of‑the‑art model, indicating that the new structure enhances segmentation performance for extended objects.

The paper presents a modality‑routed 3D cardiac segmentation pipeline that combines TotalSegmentator‑initialized nnU‑Netv2 models with site‑characterized, label‑preserving appearance augmentation. By analyzing measurable image properties across sites, the authors design a bias‑field plus Bezier augmentation strategy that smooths spatial intensity perturbations and remaps intensities nonlinearly, followed by class‑wise largest‑connected‑component cleanup. On held‑out validation splits, this approach raises CT mean Dice from 0.8350 to 0.9135 and MRI mean Dice from 0.7695 to 0.7830 while reducing HD95, demonstrating improved cross‑site robustness in limited‑data whole‑heart segmentation.
Whole-heart segmentation from CT and MRI is essential for quantitative cardiac image analysis, but remains challenging under multi-center and multi-modality distribution shift. In the CARE whole-heart...

ReG-SAM is a SAM-based framework designed for 2D vessel segmentation in medical images. It introduces reference graph prompt embeddings (GPEs) and vascular prototype embeddings (VPEs) to capture global spatial and fine-grained modality-specific vessel features, respectively. By building a modality-wise vascular database and learning these embeddings from reference masks, ReG-SAM consistently outperforms existing baselines across 19 datasets, especially on thin vessels.
The paper introduces Spatial‑FAD, a few‑shot medical anomaly detection framework that fuses Vision‑Language Model (CLIP) semantics with spatial priors from Vision Foundation Models (DINO). A VFM‑enhanced adapter injects structural affinity into CLIP features, while a sliding‑window aggregation produces high‑resolution embeddings for finer lesion localization. Prototype‑enhanced support memory further improves efficiency and performance, yielding significant gains on Liver CT, Retinal OCT, and Brain MRI datasets, notably an 11.4% Dice improvement in 4‑shot scenarios.
