| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary A foundation model-based method for photoacoustic (PA) image segmentation is proposed without any training. The segment anything model (SAM) is employed by setting simple prompts and integrating its outputs with prior knowledge of imaged objects to accomplish tasks such as removing skin signals, reconstructing dual speed-of-sound images, and segmenting finger blood vessels. This approach allows for efficient and accurate PA image segmentation without requiring network design or training, potentially enabling a hands-on technique. The proposed method is demonstrated through various applications, highlighting its potential in computer vision tasks. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary A new way to analyze special medical images called photoacoustic (PA) images is introduced. Usually, these images are difficult to understand and require experts to process them. This paper shows how to use a type of artificial intelligence model called a foundation model to automatically segment PA images without needing to train the model first. The model can be easily taught what to look for in the images by giving it simple instructions, which makes it very useful. With this new method, doctors and researchers can quickly and accurately analyze PA images, making medical imaging easier and more efficient. |
