In this paper, we present an enhanced medical image segmentation approach leveraging the nnUNet framework, specifically tailored to integrate bounding box prompts for improved segmentation accuracy in resource-constrained environments. By incorporating these prompts as binary masks in an additional input channel, we enable more precise and context-aware segmentation.

By focusing on both accuracy and efficiency, our approach makes advanced segmentation technology accessible to a broader range of healthcare providers, facilitating enhanced clinical decision-making and patient care.

摘要

In this paper, we present an enhanced medical image segmentation approach leveraging the nnUNet framework, specifically tailored to integrate bounding box prompts for improved segmentation accuracy in resource-constrained environments. By incorporating these prompts as binary masks in an additional input channel, we enable more precise and context-aware segmentation. Our methodology employs a 2D slice-wise approach optimized for CPU-based inference through just-in-time (JIT) compiled functions, ensuring efficient processing on standard clinical equipment. Our solution demonstrates robust performance, achieving an average Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 80.98% and a Normalized Surface Dice (NSD) of 83.23% across multiple modalities in the validation set. This indicates its practical applicability and effectiveness in real-world clinical settings, where computational resources may be limited. By focusing on both accuracy and efficiency, our approach makes advanced segmentation technology accessible to a broader range of healthcare providers, facilitating enhanced clinical decision-making and patient care.
