Semi-supervised histopathology segmentation is challenging due to scarce annotations and unreliable pseudo-labels in ambiguous gland regions. To address this problem, we propose Confidence-Guided Diffusion Refinement (CoDiR), a semi-supervised framework that combines a Mean Teacher segmentation model with diffusion-based pseudo-label refinement.

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 introduces an unsupervised approach to medical image segmentation by training a Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) on 21 unlabeled abdominal CT scans to learn anatomical features. The encoder weights from the DDPM are transferred to a U‑Net for downstream segmentation on the BTCV multi‑organ dataset, resulting in a significant Dice score improvement for liver segmentation from 0.75 to 0.93. In low‑data regimes, diffusion‑pretrained models retain robust performance, achieving high Dice scores even with only 10% of labeled data.
