BiCLIP: Bidirectional and Consistent Language-Image Processing for Robust Medical Image Segmentation

BiCLIP is a bidirectional multimodal framework that enhances medical image segmentation by allowing visual features to iteratively refine textual representations, improving semantic alignment. It incorporates an augmentation consistency objective to stabilize learning against perturbed inputs. Experiments on QaTa-COV19 and MosMedData+ show that BiCLIP outperforms state‑of‑the‑art image‑only and multimodal baselines, achieving strong performance even with only 1% labeled data and resisting common clinical artifacts such as motion blur and low‑dose CT noise.
