Manual segmentation methods are time-consuming and subjective, prompting the exploration of automated solutions. We introduce \u201csegment anything with inception module\u201d (SAIM), a specialized adaptation of the segment anything model, tailored specifically for the segmentation of endometrium structures in ultrasound images.ApproachSAIM incorporates enhancements to the image encoder structure and integrates point prompts to guide the segmentation process. We utilized ultrasound images from patients undergoing hysteroscopic surgery in the gynecological department to train and evaluate the model.ResultsOur study demonstrates SAIM\u2019s superior segmentation performance through quantitative and qualitative evaluations, surpassing existing automated methods. SAIM achieves a dice similarity coefficient of 76.31% and an intersection over union score of 63.71%, outperforming traditional task-specific deep learning models and other SAM-based foundation models.ConclusionsThe proposed SAIM achieves high segmentation accuracy, providing high diagnostic precision and efficiency. Furthermore, it is potentially an efficient tool for junior medical professionals in education and diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1117\/1.jmi.11.3.034504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,30]],"date-time":"2024-05-30T02:36:37Z","timestamp":1717036597000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Segment
