• Abstract summary: The segment-anything model (SAM) shows promise as a benchmark model and a universal solution to segment various natural images. SAM was tested on 12 public medical image segmentation datasets involving 7,451 subjects. Dice overlaps from SAM were significantly lower than the five medical-image-based algorithms in all 12 medical image segmentation datasets.

• Abstract: Background: The segment-anything model (SAM), introduced in April 2023, shows promise as a benchmark model and a universal solution to segment various natural images. It comes without previously-required re-training or fine-tuning specific to each new dataset. Purpose: To test SAM's accuracy in various medical image segmentation tasks and investigate potential factors that may affect its accuracy in medical images. Methods: SAM was tested on 12 public medical image segmentation datasets involving 7,451 subjects. The accuracy was measured by the Dice overlap between the algorithm-segmented and ground-truth masks. SAM was compared with five state-of-the-art algorithms specifically designed for medical image segmentation tasks. Associations of SAM's accuracy with six factors were computed, independently and jointly, including segmentation difficulties as measured by segmentation ability score and by Dice overlap in U-Net, image dimension, size of the target region, image modality, and contrast. Results: The Dice overlaps from SAM were significantly lower than the five medical-image-based algorithms in all 12 medical image segmentation datasets, by a margin of 0.1-0.5 and even 0.6-0.7 Dice. SAM-Semantic was significantly associated with medical image segmentation difficulty and the image modality, and SAM-Point and SAM-Box were significantly associated with image segmentation difficulty, image dimension, target region size, and target-vs-background contrast. All these 3 variations of SAM were more accurate in 2D medical images, larger target region sizes, easier cases with a higher Segmentation Ability score and higher U-Net Dice, and higher foreground-background contrast.

  In medical imaging contexts, it is not uncommon for human experts to rectify segmentations of specific test samples after SAM generates its segmentation predictions. We introduce a novel approach that leverages the advantages of online machine learning to enhance Segment Anything (SA) during test time. We employ rectified annotations to perform online learning, with the aim of improving the segmentation quality of SA on medical images.

  We introduce a modality-agnostic SAM adaptation framework, named as MA-SAM. Our method roots in the parameter-efficient fine-tuning strategy to update only a small portion of weight increments. By injecting a series of 3D adapters into the transformer blocks of the image encoder, our method enables the pre-trained 2D backbone to extract third-dimensional information from input data.
