Medical Semantic Segmentation

Medical semantic segmentation uses deep learning to automatically identify and delineate anatomical structures in medical images, aiming for accurate and reliable computer-aided diagnosis and treatment planning. Current research emphasizes improving model robustness and interpretability, exploring techniques like masked autoencoders with refined masking strategies, and incorporating uncertainty quantification through confidence contours to enhance clinical trust. These advancements, along with the development of efficient architectures like U-Net variations and transformers, are crucial for overcoming limitations in labeled data availability and improving the accuracy and explainability of medical image analysis.
