SSS: Semi-Supervised SAM-2 with Efficient Prompting for Medical Imaging Segmentation

The paper introduces SSS, a semi‑supervised framework that builds on the Vision Foundation Model SAM‑2 to improve medical image segmentation. It combines a weak‑to‑strong consistency regularization with a Discriminative Feature Enhancement mechanism and a prompt generator that uses Physical Constraints with a Sliding Window to supply prompts for unlabeled data. Experiments on the ACDC and BHSD datasets show that SSS outperforms prior methods, achieving a 53.15 Dice score on BHSD, a +3.65 improvement over the state of the art.

Feature Reconfiguration With Visual Prior for Medical Lesion Segmentation

The paper introduces FreNet, a feature reconfiguration framework that incorporates visual priors for medical lesion segmentation. FreNet performs pixel‑level reconfiguration before encoding using an Implicit Prior Neural Network (IPNN) that leverages SAM, and feature‑level reconfiguration during encoding via a Dual‑domain Feature Reconfiguration (DFR) module, which includes a Frequency Decoupling Module (FDM) and a Spatial Localization Module (SLM). Experiments on nine benchmarks across three imaging modalities show that FreNet outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving a 5.0% Dice improvement over the best baseline on the ETIS dataset and a 7.2% improvement over SAM.

Feature Reconfiguration With Visual Prior for Medical Lesion Segmentation

Feature Reconfiguration With Visual Prior for Medical Lesion Segmentation proposes FreNet, a framework that reconfigures images and features before and during encoding to improve lesion segmentation. It introduces an Implicit Prior Neural Network that uses a visual prior from SAM to suppress background responses, and a Dual-domain Feature Reconfiguration module that decouples features in frequency and spatial domains to better handle diverse lesion morphology. Experiments on nine benchmarks across three imaging modalities show FreNet outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving a 5.0% Dice improvement over the best prior method on the ETIS dataset.

Bridging Vision Foundation Model Priors with CLIP for Spatial-aware Few-shot Anomaly Detection in Medical Images

The paper introduces Spatial‑FAD, a few‑shot medical anomaly detection framework that fuses Vision‑Language Model (CLIP) semantics with spatial priors from Vision Foundation Models (DINO). A VFM‑enhanced adapter injects structural affinity into CLIP features, while a sliding‑window aggregation produces high‑resolution embeddings for finer lesion localization. Prototype‑enhanced support memory further improves efficiency and performance, yielding significant gains on Liver CT, Retinal OCT, and Brain MRI datasets, notably an 11.4% Dice improvement in 4‑shot scenarios.
