New IMVS framework drastically cuts medical annotation time

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed IMVS, a novel framework for interactive medical volume segmentation that significantly speeds up the annotation of radiology datasets. IMVS combines a lightweight 2D Slice Mask Adapter (SMA) that fine-tunes online with user scribbles, a Volume Mask Tracker (VMT) for propagating masks across slices, and a soft teacher-student alignment to prevent forgetting. This approach has demonstrated a substantial reduction in annotation effort, being up to 14.4 times faster than manual workflows and outperforming existing interactive methods, particularly on challenging structures.

    IMVS: Interactive Medical Volume Segmentation with Test-Time Adaptation - A New Method for Annotating Radiology Datasets

    arXiv:2609.16775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Annotating large radiology datasets is bottlenecked by the manual effort of delineating structures slice-by-slice in 3D volumes. Interactive methods reduce this effort but stay interaction-inefficient: slice-wise methods (including …
