Mutual Distillation of Dual-Foundation Models for Semi-Supervised PET/CT Segmentation
arXiv:2606. 15611v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Organ segmentation from PET/CT is critical for quantitative analysis and radiotherapy planning in oncology.
The paper introduces GAD-MambaUNet, a lightweight medical image segmentation network that integrates efficient local modeling, Direction-Group Graph Selective Scan (DG‑GSS) for structured information exchange, and training‑time supervision from a frozen DINOv3 teacher with Gradient‑Adaptive Distillation. GAD‑MambaUNet demonstrates a strong accuracy‑efficiency trade‑off compared to other lightweight and general segmentation methods, and ablation studies confirm the benefits of DG‑GSS and DINOv3‑GAD supervision. Future work aims to refine teacher‑student alignment and apply the framework to multi‑class and multi‑modal medical segmentation tasks.

Organ segmentation from PET/CT is critical for quantitative analysis and radiotherapy planning in oncology. To ease the high annotation cost of PET/CT segmentation, semi-supervised learning (SSL) provides a practical and effective solution for developing deep models with limited labeled data.
