Background:

Accurate segmentation of colon polyps from colonoscopy images is vital for colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis and surgical planning.
Existing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) struggle with variations in polyp appearance and distinguishing polyps from surrounding mucosa due to limitations in global feature extraction.
The variability in polyp shape, size, color, and texture presents a significant challenge for automated segmentation.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce MSRAformer, a novel Multiscale Spatial Reverse Attention Network designed for high-performance medical image segmentation.
To enhance the global feature extraction capabilities and generalization of segmentation networks for colonoscopy images.
To improve the accuracy of colon polyp segmentation by effectively capturing both global context and local details.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a Swin Transformer encoder with a pyramid structure to extract multi-stage features.
Incorporating a multiscale channel attention module to aggregate multi-scale feature information and boost global feature extraction.
Introducing a spatial reverse attention mechanism to refine polyp edge structures and detailed information.

Main Results:

MSRAformer demonstrated superior segmentation performance on a colonoscopy polyp dataset compared to state-of-the-art methods.
The network exhibited enhanced generalization capabilities in segmenting colon polyps.
The proposed spatial reverse attention module effectively supplemented edge and detail information crucial for accurate segmentation.

Conclusions:

MSRAformer offers a significant advancement in colon polyp segmentation accuracy and generalization.
The network's architecture effectively addresses the limitations of traditional CNNs in medical image segmentation.
The improved segmentation accuracy supports better computer-assisted diagnosis and surgical planning for colorectal cancer.
