arXiv:2606. 16868v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While federated learning (FL) enables collaborative medical image segmentation without centralizing sensitive data, real-world deployment is frequently complicated by cross-site label imperfections such as contour disagreement, missing or additional structures, and confused labels.
arXiv:2512. 21414v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent tool-use frameworks powered by vision-language models (VLMs) improve image understanding by grounding model predictions with specialized tools.
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.

The paper proposes a two‑stage learning framework for multi‑organ segmentation that handles partially annotated datasets and domain shifts. First, the model learns accurate segmentations from available annotations to build robust feature representations. Second, it introduces learnable organ prototypes and a Sinkhorn‑triplet loss to enforce organ‑wise feature consistency across datasets, keeping embeddings of the same organ close while separating different organs, even when annotations are missing.
