The Segment Anything Model (SAM) has recently emerged as a groundbreaking model in the field of image segmentation. Nevertheless, both the original SAM and its medical adaptations necessitate slice-by-slice annotations, which directly increase the annotation workload with the size of the dataset. We propose MedLSAM to address this issue, ensuring a constant annotation workload irrespective of dataset size and thereby simplifying the annotation process. Our model introduces a few-shot localization framework capable of localizing any target anatomical part within the body. To achieve this, we develop a Localize Anything Model for 3D Medical Images (MedLAM), utilizing two self-supervision tasks: relative distance regression (RDR) and multi-scale similarity (MSS) across a comprehensive dataset of 14,012 CT scans. We then establish a methodology for accurate segmentation by integrating MedLAM with SAM. By annotating only six extreme points across three directions on a few templates, our model can autonomously identify the target anatomical region on all data scheduled for annotation. This allows our framework to generate a 2D bounding box for every slice of the image, which are then leveraged by SAM to carry out segmentations. We conducted experiments on two 3D datasets covering 38 organs and found that MedLSAM matches the performance of SAM and its medical adaptations while requiring only minimal extreme point annotations for the entire dataset. Furthermore, MedLAM has the potential to be seamlessly integrated with future 3D SAM models, paving the way for enhanced performance.

- WORD (Request for access is required to download this dataset.)
Note: You can also download other CT datasets and place them any place you want. MedLSAM will automaticly apply the preprocessing procedure during the inference time, so please do not normalize the original CT images!!!
After downloading the datasets, you should sort the data into "support" and "query" groups. This does not require moving the actual image files. Rather, you need to create separate lists of file paths for each group.
For each group ("support" and "query"), perform the following steps:
- Create a .txt file listing the paths to the image files.
- Create another .txt file listing the paths to the corresponding label files.
Ensure that the ordering of images and labels aligns in both lists. These lists will direct MedLSAM to the appropriate files during the inference process.
The file names are not important, as long as the ordering of images and labels aligns in both lists.
Example format for the .txt files:
image.txt
/path/to/your/dataset/image_1.nii.gz
...
/path/to/your/dataset/image_n.nii.gzlabel.txt
/path/to/your/dataset/label_1.nii.gz
...
/path/to/your/dataset/label_n.nii.gzMedLAM and MedLSAM load their configurations from a .txt file. The structure of the file is as follows:
[data]
support_image_ls = config/data/StructSeg_HaN/support_image.txt
support_label_ls = config/data/StructSeg_HaN/support_label.txt
query_image_ls = config/data/StructSeg_HaN/query_image.txt
query_label_ls = config/data/StructSeg_HaN/query_label.txt
gt_slice_threshold = 10
bbox_mode = SPL
slice_interval = 2
fg_class = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]

Each of the parameters is explained as follows:
support_image_ls: The path to the list of support image files. It is recommended to use between 3 and 10 support images.support_label_ls: The path to the list of support label files.query_image_ls: The path to the list of query image files.query_label_ls: The path to the list of query label files.gt_slice_threshold: The threshold value for ground truth slice selection.bbox_mode: The bounding box mode. It could beSPL(Sub-Patch Localization) orWPL(Whole-Patch Localization), as shown in Fig.2.slice_interval: Specifies the number of slices in a sub-patch. A smaller value results in more patches. This parameter should be of typeint, and its value should be greater than 0. Applicable only for Sub-Patch Localization (SPL), set toFalsefor Whole-Patch Localization (WPL).fg_class: The list of foreground class to be used for localization and segmentation. This could be a list of integers indicating the class labels. You can only select a part of them as target classes.seg_save_path: The path to save the segmentation results in .npz format, only required for MedLSAM.seg_png_save_path: The path to save the segmentation results in .png format, only required for MedLSAM.net_type: The type of vision transformer model to be used, only required for MedLSAM. By default, this is set to vit_b.medlam_load_path: The path to load the pretrained MedLAM model weights.vit_load_path: The path to load the pretrained vision transformer model weights, only required for MedLSAM. You can change it tocheckpoint/sam_vit_b_01ec64.pthto use the SAM model as segmentation basis.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python MedLSAM_SPL_Inference.py --config_file config/test_config/test_structseg_medlam_spl_sam.txt- MedLAM (Localize any anatomy target): MedLAM automatically calculates and saves the mean Intersection over Union (IoU) along with the standard deviation for each category in a .txt file. These files are stored under the result/iou directory.
- MedLSAM (Localize and segment any anatomy target): MedLSAM automatically calculates and saves the mean Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) along with the standard deviation for each category in a .txt file. These files are stored under the result/dsc directory.
- Create a
train/config/ori_nii.txtfile listing the paths to the original CT nii files. (MedLAM is based on the self-supervised learning tasks and no label file is required during the training time!!!) - run
python train/dataset_preprocess.py. It will automatically preprocess the CT file. By default, the preprocessed CT files will be saved with a new name that appends_preto the original filename. For example, if your original file is namedscan.nii, the preprocessed file will be namedscan_pre.nii. - After preprocessing, the paths to the preprocessed CT files will be automatically saved in a file named
pre_nii.txtlocated in thetrain/config/directory.
python train/train_position_full_size_with_fc.py -c train/config/train_position_full_size_with_fc.txt- the tar checkpoint will be saved in
train/checkpoint. It contains both the network weights and the optimizer states. - for inference, you need to extract the network weights from the checkpoint and save it as pth file. you can run
python train/extract_weights.py -p train/checkpoint/your.tarto do this (change the tar path to your file). It will automatically extract the network weights from the checkpoint and save them ascheckpoint/medlam.pth.
