• Abstract: Despite the remarkable performance of deep learning methods on various tasks, most cutting-edge models rely heavily on large-scale annotated training examples, which are often unavailable for clinical and health care tasks. The labeling costs for medical images are very high, especially in medical image segmentation, which typically requires intensive pixel/voxel-wise labeling. Therefore, the strong capability of learning and generalizing from limited supervision, including a limited amount of annotations, sparse annotations, and inaccurate annotations, is crucial for the successful application of deep learning models in medical image segmentation. However, due to its intrinsic difficulty, segmentation with limited supervision is challenging and specific model design and/or learning strategies are needed. In this paper, we provide a systematic and up-to-date review of the solutions above, with summaries and comments about the methodologies. We also highlight several problems in this field, discussed future directions observing further investigations.

  Existing segmentation algorithms mostly rely on the availability of fully annotated images with pixel-wise annotations for training. To alleviate this challenge, there has been a growing focus on developing segmentation methods that can train deep models with weak annotations. The emergence of vision foundation models, notably the Segment Anything Model (SAM), has introduced innovative capabilities for segmentation tasks using weak annotations.

  Supervised learning methods achieve excellent performances when fed with a sufficient amount of labeled data. Such labels are typically highly time-consuming, error-prone and expensive to produce. Semi-supervised learning approaches leverage both labeled and unlabeled data, and are very useful when only a small fraction of the dataset is labeled.

With our novel training regime for segmentation that flexibly makes use of images that are either fully labeled, marked with bounding boxes, just global labels, or not at all, we are able to cut the requirement for expensive labels by 94.22%.
