Federated Medical Image Segmentation

Federated medical image segmentation aims to collaboratively train accurate segmentation models across multiple medical institutions without directly sharing sensitive patient data. Current research focuses on addressing data heterogeneity, including variations in annotation quality and types of weak supervision (e.g., points, scribbles), by developing novel aggregation strategies and personalized model architectures. These advancements are crucial for improving the robustness and generalizability of medical image analysis while upholding patient privacy, ultimately leading to more accurate and equitable diagnostic tools.
