Overview

Computational study demonstrates improved semi-supervised segmentation accuracy across multiple organs in CT and MRI scans, highlighting potential for annotation-efficient clinical workflows.

Key Points

  • To establish an annotation-efficient semi-supervised segmentation framework by integrating structured medical text priors with a dual-branch vision model.
  • Engineered a complementary dual-branch network combining a CNN (V-Net) for fine local features and a Vision Transformer (SwinUNETR) for long-range spatial context.
  • Integrated a task-aware attention module for voxel-level text-visual alignment alongside a discrepancy-aware mechanism targeting inter-branch prediction inconsistencies.
  • Evaluated segmentation accuracy across three public datasets (SegTHOR, MM-WHS, and MyoPS) under reduced annotation regimes.
  • Achieved a mean Dice score of 70.86% on SegTHOR using only 10% labeled data, exceeding the second-best method by 5.8%.
  • Yielded substantial performance gains on geometrically challenging anatomical structures, including the esophagus and right atrium.
