Implemented learnable interpolation (Onsampling) for upsampling.
Introduced spatial-channel parallel attention gate (SCP AG) for skip connections.
Integrated deformable convolution and attention in the decoder's feature extraction module.

Main Results:

Swin DER achieved superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.
Demonstrated effectiveness on the Synapse dataset.
Validated on the MSD brain tumor segmentation task.

Conclusions:

Optimizing the decoder significantly boosts segmentation performance.
Swin DER offers a promising advancement in medical image segmentation.
The proposed methods provide a new direction for U-Net based architectures.
