• Abstract: Medical image segmentation is essential for clinical diagnosis, surgical planning, and treatment monitoring. Traditional approaches typically strive to tackle all medical image segmentation scenarios via one-time learning. However, in practical applications, the diversity of scenarios and tasks in medical image segmentation continues to expand, necessitating models that can dynamically evolve to meet the demands of various segmentation tasks. Here, we introduce EvoSAM, a dynamically evolving medical image segmentation model that continuously accumulates new knowledge from an ever-expanding array of scenarios and tasks, enhancing its segmentation capabilities. Extensive evaluations on surgical image blood vessel segmentation and multi-site prostate MRI segmentation demonstrate that EvoSAM not only improves segmentation accuracy but also mitigates catastrophic forgetting. Further experiments conducted by surgical clinicians on blood vessel segmentation confirm that EvoSAM enhances segmentation efficiency based on user prompts, highlighting its potential as a promising tool for clinical applications.

  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.
