让医学图像分割模型在标注中持续学习,快速达到专家水平。
CLoPA: Continual Low Parameter Adaptation of Interactive Segmentation for Medical Image Annotation
- 用轻量调度触发小参数微调,不改原有流程
- 8个任务中多数仅一次训练就达专家性能
- 复杂结构需深层特征对齐,适合临床标注场景
交互式分割可让临床医生引导标注,但现有零样本模型如nnInteractive在不同医学影像任务中难以稳定达到专家级表现。由于标注过程持续产生任务特异的标注数据,对分割模型进行在线适应是零样本推理的自然补充。我们提出CLoPA,一种持续适应策略:在标注缓存上微调nnInteractive的少量参数,由轻量级阶段调度触发。CLoPA无需新增参数或修改推理流程,完全融入现有标注工作流。在涵盖多种解剖目标和成像特征的8个医学分割挑战任务中,CLoPA迅速将性能提升至专家水平,甚至挽救了此前表现不佳的任务,大部分性能提升在单次训练阶段即实现。我们发现不同参数组的微调收益取决于任务特征与数据规模;对于复杂几何结构(如肝血管),实例归一化与低层特征微调趋于饱和,提示在最挑战场景中需要更深层的特征表示对齐。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Interactive segmentation enables clinicians to guide annotation, but existing zero-shot models like nnInteractive fail to consistently reach expert-level performance across diverse medical imaging tasks. Because annotation campaigns produce a growing stream of task-specific labelled data, online adaptation of the segmentation model is a natural complement to zero-shot inference. We propose CLoPA, a continual adaptation strategy that tunes a small fraction of nnInteractive's parameters on the annotation cache, triggered by lightweight episode scheduling. CLoPA requires no new parameters or changes to the inference pipeline, and operates entirely within the existing annotation workflow. Across eight Medical Segmentation Decathlon tasks spanning diverse anatomical targets and imaging characteristics, CLoPA rapidly elevates performance to expert-level, even for tasks where nnInteractive previously failed, with the majority of gains realised after a single training episode. We show that the benefits of tuning different parameter groups depends on task characteristics and data regimes. Also, that for targets with complex geometries (e.g., hepatic vessels), instance normalisation and low-level feature tuning saturates, suggesting a need for deeper feature-representation alignment in the most challenging scenarios.
