Prompt-Guided Interactive Segmentation of Interstitial Lung Disease in Thoracic CT

The paper introduces the first adaptation of the MedSAM2 foundation model for interactive 3D segmentation of interstitial lung disease (ILD) on thoracic CT scans. It evaluates three fine‑tuning strategies and four prompt types—bounding‑boxes, points, lassos, and scribbles—finding that full model fine‑tuning yields the best performance, improving Dice scores by 4.7 percentage points over the baseline. A proof‑of‑concept workflow is presented where MedSAM2 is first initialized with an automatic prior and then refined by radiologist prompts, with all resources released on GitHub.
