GAD-MambaUNet: Direction-Group Mamba with Gradient-Adaptive DINOv3 Distillation for Lightweight Medical Image Segmentation

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.
