Abstract

Correct biomedical image segmentation is an important problem because of the lack of annotated data and because tissue boundaries of multi-modal clinical scans are complicated. The current paper will present a new self-supervised biomedical image segmentation architecture that combines hybrid learning based on convolutional modules and transformer-based modules along with a classification-driven feedback system. With the help of contrastive and predictive self-supervised tasks the encoder learns strong representations without having to be manually annotated. A dual-branch structure is a combination of local texture learning (ConvNeXt) and global context modeling (Swin Transformer), and then a U-Net architecture is used with an improved decoder using attention-based skip connections. A parallel branch of a classifier is used as a way of semantic feedback to tune the segmentation map by using class-aware attention gating. Experimental analyses on BRaTS, ISIC and MoNuSeg datasets show better results with Dice score of 94.6, precision of 94.2 and recall of 93.9 and F1-score of 94.0. The proposed model, also, is the best, when working with the state-of-the-art baselines, the maximum label scarcity, and 82.7% Dice score is reached with 5% labeled data only. These findings confirm the usefulness of the framework in low-annotation and cross-domain. A combination of self-supervised representation learning and classification-conscious segmentation is a promising field of scalable, precise, and generalizable biomedical image analysis.
