New spectral adapters enhance SAM for medical image segmentation

Researchers have developed two novel spectral adapters, DiSECT and SiGA, designed to enhance the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for segmenting colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in CT scans. These adapters aim for parameter efficiency, with DiSECT utilizing only 0.14 million trainable parameters. In evaluations on 446 CT volumes, SiGA demonstrated strong performance, achieving a Dice score of 0.77 in a single-point prompt regime and a comparable score of 0.76 against a 3D nnU-Net baseline in a no-prompt scenario.

    Spectral Adapters for Segment Anything Model-based Segmentation of Colorectal Liver Metastases in Computed Tomography

    arXiv:2609.11703v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate segmentation of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is important for response assessment, surgical planning, and follow-up. We propose two parameter-efficient spectral adapters f…
