Background:

Colonoscopy is crucial for colorectal cancer screening and polyp detection.
Accurate polyp segmentation in colonoscopy images is vital for diagnosis and surgery.
Challenges include diverse polyp sizes, shapes, and indistinct boundaries with mucosa.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce ECTransNet, a novel network for improved colon polyp segmentation.
To address limitations in segmenting polyps with varied morphology and unclear edges.

Main Methods:

Developed ECTransNet with an edge complementary module for multi-resolution feature fusion.
Implemented a feature aggregation decoder using residual blocks to fuse features adaptively.
Enhanced edge fineness and preserved spatial information for improved segmentation accuracy.

Main Results:

ECTransNet outperformed state-of-the-art methods on five public datasets.
Achieved high mDice scores: 0.901 (Kvasir-SEG), 0.923 (CVC-ClinicDB), 0.907 (Endoscene), 0.766 (CVC-ColonDB), and 0.728 (ETIS).

Conclusions:

ECTransNet demonstrates superior performance in colon polyp segmentation.
The proposed modules effectively improve segmentation accuracy and edge definition.
This method holds significant potential for enhancing colorectal cancer screening and diagnosis.
