SpineContextResUNet is a lightweight 3D Residual U‑Net that uses a Context Block with parallel multi‑dilated convolutions to efficiently capture long‑range anatomical dependencies for spine CT segmentation. It achieves Dice scores of 88.17% on VerSe2020 and 88.13% on CTSpine1K while maintaining a small ~1.7 M parameter footprint. Compared to resource‑heavy Transformers and baselines that fail on commodity hardware, SpineContextResUNet delivers robust inference on edge devices such as the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano.

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.

The paper introduces the Consistency Memory Bank (COMB), a label‑free virtual staining framework designed to process gigapixel Whole Slide Images without the memory bottlenecks of patch‑based deep learning. COMB decouples context storage from computation, using a dynamic retrieval mechanism to fetch feature representations from adjacent tiles, local padding to resolve spatial discontinuities, and neighbor‑aware channel attention to stabilize statistical drift. The method achieves superior perceptual fidelity and tiling consistency compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines, and its improved continuity suggests downstream benefits for tumor segmentation.
