This paper proposes a novel segmentation model called Diffusion Transformer Segmentation (DTS) to address challenges in medical image analysis. The DTS model uses a transformer architecture to capture global dependencies through self-attention, and combines it with techniques like k-neighbor label smoothing, reverse boundary attention, and self-supervised learning with morphology-driven learning to improve complex structure identification. The model outperforms previous models on various medical imaging modalities, including CT, MRI, and lesion images.

Medical images are important for diagnosis, but segmenting the region of interest or abnormality can be difficult due to unique properties of these images. Labeling is time-consuming and costly, leading to a coarse-grained representation of ground truth. This paper proposes a new model called DTS that uses a transformer architecture to analyze image morphological structures. It also includes techniques like label smoothing, boundary attention, and self-supervised learning to improve complex structure identification.
