Focus on Background: Exploring SAM's Potential in Few-shot Medical Image Segmentation with Background-centric Prompting

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.21287v1 Announce Type: new Conventional few-shot medical image segmentation (FSMIS) approaches face performance bottlenecks that hinder broader clinical applicability. Although the Segment Anything Model (SAM) exhibits strong category-agnostic segmentation capabilities, its direct application to medical images often leads to over-segmentation due to ambiguous anatomical boundaries.
