RDTE-UNet: A Boundary and Detail Aware UNet for Precise Medical Image Segmentation
This addresses segmentation challenges for medical imaging, but appears incremental with no clear SOTA breakthrough.
The paper tackled the problem of medical image segmentation by proposing RDTE-UNet, a network that enhances boundary delineation and detail preservation, achieving comparable segmentation accuracy and boundary quality on Synapse and BUSI datasets.
Medical image segmentation is essential for computer-assisted diagnosis and treatment planning, yet substantial anatomical variability and boundary ambiguity hinder reliable delineation of fine structures. We propose RDTE-UNet, a segmentation network that unifies local modeling with global context to strengthen boundary delineation and detail preservation. RDTE-UNet employs a hybrid ResBlock detail-aware Transformer backbone and three modules: ASBE for adaptive boundary enhancement, HVDA for fine-grained feature modeling, and EulerFF for fusion weighting guided by Euler's formula. Together, these components improve structural consistency and boundary accuracy across morphology, orientation, and scale. On Synapse and BUSI dataset, RDTE-UNet has achieved a comparable level in terms of segmentation accuracy and boundary quality.
