Abstract

En 中文

Medical image segmentation is crucial for accurate disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome monitoring. Traditional fully supervised segmentation methods require extensive labeled data, which is often limited and costly to acquire in medical applications. To address this, we propose a novel semi-supervised medical image segmentation approach that effectively utilizes a small amount of labeled data to segment a large volume of unlabeled data. Our method leverages label-driven spatial consistency category swapping, which preserves the relative positions of foreground and background while enriching their information. This technique exposes the model to various backgrounds of the same foreground object, mitigating over-reliance on specific background features. Additionally, we incorporate feature perturbation consistency training into the network structure to enhance the model's robustness. Experimental results on four publicly available datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms existing semi-supervised segmentation approaches, achieving superior segmentation performance. Code is publicly available at https://github.com/Yanzj621/SCCS.
