arXiv:2606. 04705v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic segmentation in medical imaging is a critical yet challenging task due to data scarcity and high variability across modalities.
Pixel-level annotation remains a major bottleneck in medical image segmentation, making weak supervision an attractive yet under-constrained alternative. We propose OBBSeg, an intermediate supervision paradigm guided by Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBBs) that bridges the gap between full and weak supervision.
arXiv:2509. 25594v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical image segmentation is fundamental to clinical decision-making, yet existing models remain fragmented.
arXiv:2608. 09818v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable medical image understanding requires models to connect clinical language and visual reasoning with pixel-level grounding.
Medical image segmentation relies on the ability of encoder-decoder architectures to translate rich feature representations into accurate pixel-level predictions under challenging conditions such as low contrast, structural ambiguity, and scale variability. While recent advances in large-scale pretraining and transformer-based encoders have substantially improved feature extraction, segmentation accuracy remains constrained by decoder design, particularly in terms of cross-scale alignment, contextual integration, and boundary preservation.

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.
arXiv:2607. 14328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In proton therapy planning, respiratory-gated non-contrast CT (NCCT) is commonly used for lesion segmentation; however, accurate delineation remains challenging due to low lesion-to-background contrast.

arXiv:2608. 00195v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-resolution 3D segmentation of hip and shoulder anatomy from CT and MRI is essential for surgical planning, yet frozen segmentation models often fail under domain shift.
Accurate medical image interpolation and anatomical structure segmentation are fundamental for computer-aided diagnosis and treatment planning. Anisotropic medical volumes with sparse through-plane sampling often suffer from structural discontinuity and boundary blur, hindering reliable clinical image analysis.
arXiv:2606. 29102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Jointly learning to segment and classify medical images demands cross-task synergy, yet encoder-sharing architectures limit decoder reconstruction to task-private representations, permanently discarding the boundary cues and semantic priors each branch could supply to the other.
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.
