用少量步骤实现高效精准的医学图像分割。

Accurate medical image segmentation requires both long-range contextual reasoning and precise boundary delineation, a task where existing transformer- and diffusion-based paradigms are frequently bottlenecked by quadratic computational complexity and prohibitive inference latency. We propose RF-HiT, a Rectified Flow Hierarchical Transformer that integrates an Hourglass Transformer backbone with a multi-scale hierarchical encoder for anatomically guided feature conditioning. Unlike prior diffusion-based approaches that rely on hundreds of denoising steps, RF-HiT leverages rectified flow with efficient transformer blocks, achieving linear complexity and requiring only a few discretization steps. The model further fuses conditioning features at each resolution via learnable interpolation, enabling effective multi-scale feature integration with minimal computational overhead. As a result, RF-HiT achieves a strong efficiency-performance trade-off, requiring only 10.14 GFLOPs, 13.6M parameters, and inference in as few as 3 steps. Despite its compact design, RF-HiT attains 91.27% mean Dice on ACDC and 87.40% on BraTS 2021, achieving performance comparable to or exceeding that of significantly more intensive architectures. These results suggest that RF-HiT is a promising, computationally efficient foundation for clinical image segmentation.
