PIMedSeg: Progressive interactive medical image segmentation

Abstract

Accurate object segmentation in medical images is a crucial step in medical diagnosis and other applications. Despite years of research on automatic segmentation approaches, achieving clinically acceptable image quality remains challenging. Interactive segmentation is seen as a promising alternative; thus, we propose a new interactive segmentation framework based on a progressive workflow to reduce user effort and provide high-quality results.First, our approach encodes user-provided region clicks and edge scribbles using our proposed disk and curve transform. Then, it is followed by refinement with a transformer-based module that extracts effective features from the outputs of the convolutional neural network (CNN) and the extra input maps.Extensive experiments conducted on various medical images, including ultrasound (US), computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance images (MRI), have demonstrated the effectiveness of our new approach over the state-of-the-art alternatives.The proposed framework can achieve high-quality segmentation using minimal interactions without the substantial cost of manual segmentation.
