SAM-Med2D adapts the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for 2D medical image segmentation through large-scale data curation and adapter-based fine-tuning, achieving substantial performance improvements across various modalities and anatomical structures. It demonstrates that a single click can yield segmentation quality comparable to original SAM's bounding box performance, improving efficiency for clinical workflows.

Key insights

  • Adapter-based fine-tuning effectively bridges the domain gap between natural and medical images while preserving the original SAM's pre-trained knowledge.
  • Achieving high-quality medical image segmentation with a single point prompt can significantly increase annotation efficiency for clinical workflows, potentially matching the performance of bounding box prompts.
  • Curating a large-scale, diverse dataset spanning multiple modalities and anatomical structures is essential for successful domain adaptation of foundation models in medical imaging.
