Med-DisSeg introduces a two-stage framework for medical image segmentation that mitigates representation collapse through a novel Dispersive Loss and enhances fine-grained delineation with adaptive attention mechanisms. This approach consistently achieved state-of-the-art performance across five diverse 2D medical datasets, demonstrating up to 3.4% mIoU improvement over prior methods, and generalized effectively to 3D multi-organ CT segmentation.
Key insights
- Enforcing dispersion among hidden feature representations via a lightweight Dispersive Loss effectively mitigates representation collapse, leading to more discriminable and boundary-aware embeddings.
- The combination of encoder-side adaptive attention (ELAT) and decoder-side multi-scale calibration (CBAT) synergistically enhances both structure-sensitive feature extraction and fine-grained reconstruction.
- A two-stage training strategy, decoupling robust encoder pre-training from multi-scale decoding, allows for more effective optimization and better overall segmentation performance.
