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.

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.
InstEditSeg is a generative framework that treats medical segmentation as an instruction-driven image editing task. Instead of producing binary masks, it renders a color-coded overlay on the original image guided by textual instructions, leveraging latent diffusion models to align with natural image distributions and reduce domain gaps. The method incorporates a DINOv3 visual encoder and a multi-scale feature pyramid fused into the diffusion U‑Net, and uses a dual‑branch classifier‑free guidance strategy to lower inference cost, achieving competitive accuracy on polyp and skin lesion datasets while improving cross‑domain generalization and multi‑lesion segmentation.
The paper introduces the Consistency Memory Bank (COMB), a label‑free virtual staining framework designed to process gigapixel Whole Slide Images without the memory bottlenecks of patch‑based deep learning. COMB decouples context storage from computation, using a dynamic retrieval mechanism to fetch feature representations from adjacent tiles, local padding to resolve spatial discontinuities, and neighbor‑aware channel attention to stabilize statistical drift. The method achieves superior perceptual fidelity and tiling consistency compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines, and its improved continuity suggests downstream benefits for tumor segmentation.

MDSkin-Net is a multi‑task skin lesion analysis framework that integrates Pattern Analysis priors into a hybrid CNN‑Transformer architecture. It introduces a Pattern Analysis‑Guided Attention Module (PAGAM) with improved Efficient Channel Attention, Multi‑Scale Spatial Attention, and Biased Asymmetry Attention, along with a multi‑scale spatial alignment regularization that uses segmentation masks as soft supervision. Trained only on the ISIC 2017 training split, the model achieves high segmentation and classification performance on multiple datasets, demonstrating strong zero‑shot generalization across different cohorts.

Medical image segmentation relies on the ability of encoder-decoder architectures to translate rich feature representations into accurate pixel-level predictions under challenging conditions such as low contrast, structural ambiguity, and scale variability. While recent advances in large-scale pretraining and transformer-based encoders have substantially improved feature extraction, segmentation accuracy remains constrained by decoder design, particularly in terms of cross-scale alignment, contextual integration, and boundary preservation.
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.
