The paper introduces TEAMS, a vision‑language Mamba snake framework that enhances deep snake instance segmentation. It adds a Spatiotemporal Snake Evolution Strategy to handle complex shapes, a Contour Morphology‑Aware Mamba to improve fine‑grained detail capture, and a Text‑prompted Collaborative Dual‑Head Snake to integrate textual cues and reduce detection errors. Experiments on five medical imaging datasets show TEAMS surpasses existing methods, achieving significant gains in mDice and mBF metrics.
arXiv:2606. 19824v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate segmentation of thin, tortuous anatomical structures, such as retinal vessels, cerebral vasculature, and facial wrinkles, remains challenging due to low contrast, frequent discontinuities, and severe class imbalance.
arXiv:2608. 13690v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image segmentation is still largely treated as a vision-only problem, although clinical interpretation often relies on textual knowledge of anatomy, location, appearance, and surrounding context.

arXiv:2607. 26829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many high-performing volumetric segmentation models maintain dense multi-scale feature maps, leading to high activation memory and inference cost.
arXiv:2607. 09481v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-guided medical image segmentation leverages clinical semantics to improve lesion delineation, yet many existing models bind cross-modal fusion, supervision, and decoder design into a task-specific architecture.
MEVL-STP introduces a two‑stage pipeline for spotting arbitrarily shaped scene text. The detection stage fuses features from six frozen vision encoders via a hierarchical Feature Pyramid Network and a Progressive Scale Expansion network to produce precise polygon masks. The recognition stage then crops these masks and feeds them to a fine‑tuned Qwen3‑VL‑8B‑Instruct model, achieving state‑of‑the‑art detection and end‑to‑end performance on CTW1500, Total‑Text, and ICDAR 2015 without synthetic pretraining.

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 MedREAL, a unified framework that aligns linguistic reasoning with spatial grounding for medical visual question answering and segmentation. MedREAL employs Seg Anchored Reasoning Pooling (SARP) to extract semantic evidence from segmentation tokens and a Reasoning-to-Visual (R2V) fusion mechanism to integrate these features into a segmentation pipeline. Using the newly created MedRAVS-13K dataset, MedREAL achieves superior performance, reporting 68.49% gIoU and 70.47% cIoU, and generates evidence masks that consistently match textual diagnoses.
