# Advancing Medical Image Segmentation: Morphology-Driven Learning with Diffusion Transformer
This repository contains the official implementation of the paper "Advancing Medical Image Segmentation: Morphology-Driven Learning with Diffusion Transformer".

## Abstract
We introduce a novel Diffusion Transformer Segmentation (DTS) model for robust medical image segmentation. Our approach combines diffusion models and transformer architectures to leverage morphological information, enhancing segmentation accuracy across various medical imaging modalities 3.
Benchmark Datasets
We have uploaded our benchmark datasets to Hugging Face for easy access and reproducibility. These datasets cover a range of medical imaging modalities and anatomical regions:

1. Multi-organ Segmentation
   - BTCV (Beyond the Cranial Vault)
   - Contains 30 subjects with 3779 axial abdominal CT slices
   - 13 organ annotations
   - 18 cases for training, 12 for testing
2. Brain MRI
   - BraTS2021
   - Brain tumor segmentation dataset
3. Skin Lesion
   - ISIC2018
   - Skin lesion segmentation dataset
   
These datasets represent diverse challenges in medical image segmentation, allowing for thorough testing of segmentation algorithms across different anatomical structures and imaging techniques.
