The recent advancements in medical imaging segmentation have shown a significant shift towards integrating multi-modal data and enhancing model adaptability. Researchers are increasingly focusing on developing models that can handle diverse imaging modalities, such as combining 2D mammography with 3D MRI, to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. Innovations in segmentation techniques, such as the use of neural network architectures like nnU-Net and SAM-based models, are being leveraged to achieve precise tissue identification and alignment across different imaging types. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on interactive and adaptive segmentation models that can dynamically select optimal frames and provide interpretability, addressing the challenges of generalization and adaptability in multi-modal medical imaging. Data augmentation strategies, particularly those inspired by physics, are also being explored to enhance the performance of weak supervision methods, making neural networks more efficient in learning from limited data. These developments collectively aim to bridge the gap between imaging modalities and improve the overall efficacy of medical image analysis.

Noteworthy papers include one that introduces a novel solution for multi-plane segmentation in echocardiography using a SAM-based architecture, and another that proposes a medical-specific augmentation algorithm for improving segmentation accuracy across various frameworks.
