• Abstract: The joint utilization of diverse data sources for medical imaging segmentation has emerged as a crucial area of research, aiming to address challenges such as data heterogeneity, domain shift, and data quality discrepancies. Integrating information from multiple data domains has shown promise in improving model generalizability and adaptability. However, this approach often demands substantial computational resources, hindering its practicality. In response, knowledge distillation (KD) has garnered attention as a solution. KD involves training light-weight models to emulate the behavior of more resource-intensive models, thereby mitigating the computational burden while maintaining performance. This paper addresses the pressing need to develop a lightweight and generalizable model for medical imaging segmentation that can effectively handle data integration challenges. Our proposed approach introduces a novel relation-based knowledge framework by seamlessly combining adaptive affinity-based and kernel-based distillation through a gram matrix that can capture the style representation across features. This methodology empowers the student model to accurately replicate the feature representations of the teacher model, facilitating robust performance even in the face of domain shift and data heterogeneity. To validate our innovative approach, we conducted experiments on publicly available multi-source prostate MRI data. The results demonstrate a significant enhancement in segmentation performance using lightweight networks. Notably, our method achieves this improvement while reducing both inference time and storage usage, rendering it a practical and efficient solution for real-time medical imaging segmentation.
