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.

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.

The paper introduces a geometry‑guided sampling operator that directs feature sampling rather than altering convolution kernels in 3D encoder‑decoder networks. By predicting local orientations and bounded step sizes, the operator samples symmetrically around each voxel, generating compact geometric and boundary cues that improve fine‑structure segmentation. Replacing stride‑1 and stride‑2 operations in a 3D U‑Net yields consistent gains on BraTS, MSD Hepatic Vessel, and TDSC‑ABUS datasets, with better boundary metrics and fewer parameters, and the operator can be integrated into other backbones without architectural changes.
