Abstract
Spinal medical image segmentation is critical for diagnosing and treating spinal disorders. However, ambiguity in anatomical boundaries and interfering factors in medical images often cause segmentation errors. Current deep learning models cannot fully capture the intrinsic data properties, leading to unstable feature spaces. To tackle the above problems, we propose Verdiff-Net, a novel diffusion-based segmentation framework designed to improve segmentation accuracy and stability by learning the underlying data distribution. Verdiff-Net integrates a multi-scale fusion module (MSFM) for fine feature extraction and a noise semantic adapter (NSA) to refine segmentation masks. Validated across four multi-modality spinal datasets, Verdiff-Net achieves a high Dice coefficient of 93%, demonstrating its potential for clinical applications in precision spinal surgery.
