InstEditSeg is a generative framework that treats medical segmentation as an instruction-driven image editing task. Instead of producing binary masks, it renders a color-coded overlay on the original image guided by textual instructions, leveraging latent diffusion models to align with natural image distributions and reduce domain gaps. The method incorporates a DINOv3 visual encoder and a multi-scale feature pyramid fused into the diffusion U‑Net, and uses a dual‑branch classifier‑free guidance strategy to lower inference cost, achieving competitive accuracy on polyp and skin lesion datasets while improving cross‑domain generalization and multi‑lesion segmentation.

arXiv:2606. 15457v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D FLAIR MRI is widely recommended as one of the standard MRI sequences for brain imaging in multiple sclerosis (MS), but publicly available MS datasets remain relatively small and vary across scanners, acquisition protocols, and lesion patterns.

The paper introduces MedSegLatDiff, a diffusion-based framework that combines a variational autoencoder (VAE) with a latent diffusion model for medical image segmentation. By compressing images into a low-dimensional latent space, the method reduces noise and speeds up training, while a weighted cross‑entropy loss preserves tiny structures such as small nodules. Evaluated on ISIC‑2018, CVC‑Clinic, and LIDC‑IDRI datasets, MedSegLatDiff achieves state‑of‑the‑art Dice and IoU scores, generates diverse segmentation hypotheses, and produces confidence maps that enhance interpretability and reliability for clinical deployment.
