Medical image segmentation typically relies on large, accurately annotated datasets. However, acquiring pixel-level annotations is a labor-intensive process that demands substantial effort from domain experts, posing significant challenges in obtaining such annotations in real-world clinical settings. To tackle this challenge, we present the SA-Net framework, which leverages cross-supervision from segment anything models (SAM) and 2D segmentation networks to learn from sparse annotations. Specifically, we design an interactive graph learning segmentation network, which employs a bilateral graph convolution (BGC) module to capture more detailed features from multiple perspectives, facilitating the generation of high-quality pseudo-labels, which can serve as direct supervision for semantic segmentation networks and SAM, enabling the synthesis of additional annotations to enhance the training process. The multi-scale attention (MSA) module facilitates cross-layer interaction by partitioning channel label groups and capturing global information across layers, while the recovery module (RM) utilizes deep features and low-level features to fuse global context information and reconstruct lesion boundary regions. Our experimental results on LUNA16, AbdomenCT-1K, and self-collected datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of SA-Net. Our code is available at https://github.com/CTSegPilot/SA-Net.git .

摘要

Medical image segmentation typically relies on large, accurately annotated datasets. However, acquiring pixel-level annotations is a labor-intensive process that demands substantial effort from domain experts, posing significant challenges in obtaining such annotations in real-world clinical settings. To tackle this challenge, we present the SA-Net framework, which leverages cross-supervision from segment anything models (SAM) and 2D segmentation networks to learn from sparse annotations. Specifically, we design an interactive graph learning segmentation network, which employs a bilateral graph convolution (BGC) module to capture more detailed features from multiple perspectives, facilitating the generation of high-quality pseudo-labels, which can serve as direct supervision for semantic segmentation networks and SAM, enabling the synthesis of additional annotations to enhance the training process. The multi-scale attention (MSA) module facilitates cross-layer interaction by partitioning channel label groups and capturing global information across layers, while the recovery module (RM) utilizes deep features and low-level features to fuse global context information and reconstruct lesion boundary regions. Our experimental results on LUNA16, AbdomenCT-1K, and self-collected datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of SA-Net. Our code is available at https://github.com/CTSegPilot/SA-Net.git .
