Decoupling Language Guidance from Backbones for Text-Guided Medical Segmentation
Yungeng Liu, Xuanzi Fang, Haijin Zeng, Qi Dai, Yongyong Chen
Text-guided medical image segmentation leverages clinical semantics to improve lesion delineation, yet many existing models bind cross-modal fusion, supervision, and decoder design into a task-specific architecture. Such tight coupling makes it difficult to reuse language guidanc…
