Diffusion Model in Latent Space for Medical Image Segmentation Task

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.
