SGP-SAM: Self-Gated Prompting for Transferring 3D Segment Anything Models to Lesion Segmentation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.22825v1 Announce Type: new Large segmentation foundation models such as the Segment Anything Model (SAM) have reshaped promptable segmentation in natural images, and recent efforts have extended these models to medical images and volumetric settings. However, directly transferring a 3D SAM-style model to lesion segmentation remains challenging due to (i) weak spatial representational capacity for small, irregular targets in intermediate features, and (ii) extreme foreground-background imbalance in 3D volumes.
