• Authors: Yizhe Zhang, Tao Zhou, Shuo Wang, Peixian Liang, Danny Z. Chen
• Abstract summary: The Segment Anything Model (SAM) is a recently developed large model for general-purpose segmentation for computer vision tasks. SAM was trained using 11 million images with over 1 billion masks and can produce segmentation results for a wide range of objects in natural scene images. This paper shows that although SAM does not immediately give high-quality segmentation for medical image data, its generated masks, features, and stability scores are useful for building and training better medical image segmentation models.

• Abstract: The Segment Anything Model (SAM) is a recently developed large model for general-purpose segmentation for computer vision tasks. SAM was trained using 11 million images with over 1 billion masks and can produce segmentation results for a wide range of objects in natural scene images. SAM can be viewed as a general perception model for segmentation (partitioning images into semantically meaningful regions). Thus, how to utilize such a large foundation model for medical image segmentation is an emerging research target. This paper shows that although SAM does not immediately give high-quality segmentation for medical image data, its generated masks, features, and stability scores are useful for building and training better medical image segmentation models. In particular, we demonstrate how to use SAM to augment image input for commonly-used medical image segmentation models (e.g., U-Net). Experiments on three segmentation tasks show the effectiveness of our proposed SAMAug method. The code is available at \url{https://github.com/yizhezhang2000/SAMAug}.

  Segment Anything Model (SAM) has demonstrated impressive performance on a wide range of natural image segmentation tasks. We propose SAMUNet, a new foundation model which incorporates U-Net to the original SAM, to fully leverage the powerful contextual modeling ability of convolutions. We train SAM-UNet on SA-Med2D-16M, the largest 2-dimensional medical image segmentation dataset to date, yielding a universal pretrained model for 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.

PerSAM segments it within other images or videos via three techniques: target-guided attention, target-semantic prompting, and cascaded post-refinement.

  We build upon the large-scale image segmentation model, Segment Anything Model (SAM), to explore the new research paradigm of customizing large-scale models for medical image segmentation. SAMed applies the low-rank-based (LoRA) finetuning strategy to the SAM image encoder and finetunes it together with the prompt encoder and the mask decoder on labeled medical image segmentation datasets. Our trained SAMed model achieves semantic segmentation on medical images, which is on par with the state-of-the-art methods.
