  • 用并行CNN增强Swin Transformer的局部纹理感知能力。
  • 通过跨层跳跃连接传递浅层特征,提升细节恢复效果。
  • 适合临床部署,兼顾准确率、速度与可解释性。

医学图像分割需高精度与鲁棒性,同时商业应用还需保护隐私并保证计算效率。U-Net架构因其编码器与解码器可独立设计,成为理想的商业化选择。然而,纯Transformer结构如Swin-UNet在浅层特征建模上缺乏局部细节捕捉能力,且可解释性不足。本文提出一种基于Swin-UNet的轻量级混合架构:引入并行CNN编码器,以补充Swin Transformer在浅层的局部纹理表达;设计非对称特征融合策略,并加入跨层跳跃(XSkip)连接,显式将浅层CNN特征传递至解码器,弥合语义鸿沟,增强细粒度空间重建。此外,引入新型损失函数与辅助监督头(Aux-Head),强化训练稳定性、边界分割能力及中间特征可解释性。在Synapse多器官分割数据集上的大量实验表明,本方法在Dice分数和Hausdorff距离上均达到当前最优水平,为临床部署提供了一种准确、高效且可解释的解决方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Medical image segmentation requires high accuracy and robustness, yet practical commercial deployment also demands privacy preservation and computational efficiency. In this context, the U-Net architecture, which can be inherently decoupled into independent encoder and decoder components, serves as a natural commercial choice. However, pure Transformer-based variants like Swin-UNet often suffer from insufficient local detail capture and limited interpretability. In this paper, we propose a lightweight hybrid architecture built upon the Swin-UNet framework. Our model integrates a parallel CNN encoder to complement the shallow layer reasoning of Swin Transformers with local texture features. To bridge the semantic gap and enhance fine-grained spatial detail recovery, we design an asymmetric feature fusion strategy and introduce cross-layer skip (XSkip) connections that explicitly propagate shallow CNN features into the decoder. We further incorporate novel loss functions and an auxiliary supervision head (Aux-Head) to strengthen training stability, boundary delineation, and intermediate feature interpretability. Extensive experiments on the Synapse multi-organ segmentation dataset demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art competitive Dice scores and Hausdorff distances, offering an accurate, efficient, and interpretable solution for clinical deployment.
