CRC-SAM framework enables multi-modal colorectal cancer segmentation

Researchers have developed CRC-SAM, a novel framework for segmenting colorectal cancer across multiple imaging types including CT, colonoscopy, and histology. This system builds upon the MedSAM model and utilizes low-rank adaptation (LoRA) for efficient transfer learning to different medical imaging domains. Experiments on several datasets showed CRC-SAM achieving superior performance compared to existing methods, demonstrating the efficacy of lightweight adaptation for foundation models in cancer analysis.

    CRC-SAM: SAM-Based Multi-Modal Segmentation and Quantification of Colorectal Cancer in CT, Colonoscopy, and Histology Images

    arXiv:2604.24793v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present CRC-SAM, a unified framework for colorectal cancer segmentation across colonoscopy, CT, and histopathology images. Unlike prior single-modality methods, CRC-SAM provides consistent, modality-agnostic segmentation throug…
