Lung segment anything model (LuSAM): a decoupled prompt-integrated framework for automated lung segmentation on chest x-Ray images.
Accurate lung segmentation in chest x-ray images plays a pivotal role in early disease detection and clinical decision-making. In this study, we introduce an innovative approach to enhance the precision of lung segmentation using the Segment Anything Model (SAM). Despite its versatility, SAM faces the challenge of prompt decoupling, often resulting in misclassifications, especially with intricate structures like the clavicle. Our research focuses on the integration of spatial attention mechanisms within SAM. This approach enables the model to concentrate specifically on the lung region, fostering adaptability to image variations and reducing the likelihood of false positives. This work has the potential to significantly advance lung segmentation, improving the identification and quantification of lung anomalies across diverse clinical contexts.
