| contents | Current state-of-the-art medical image segmentation methods prioritize accuracy but often at the expense of increased computational demands and larger model sizes. Applying these large-scale models to the relatively limited scale of medical image datasets tends to induce redundant computation, complicating the process without the necessary benefits. This approach not only adds complexity but also presents challenges for the integration and deployment of lightweight models on edge devices. For instance, recent transformer-based models have excelled in 2D and 3D medical image segmentation due to their extensive receptive fields and high parameter count. However, their effectiveness comes with a risk of overfitting when applied to small datasets and often neglects the vital inductive biases of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), essential for local feature representation. In this work, we propose PMFSNet, a novel medical imaging segmentation model that effectively balances global and local feature processing while avoiding the computational redundancy typical in larger models. PMFSNet streamlines the UNet-based hierarchical structure and simplifies the self-attention mechanism's computational complexity, making it suitable for lightweight applications. It incorporates a plug-and-play PMFS block, a multi-scale feature enhancement module based on attention mechanisms, to capture long-term dependencies. Extensive comprehensive results demonstrate that even with a model (less than 1 million parameters), our method achieves superior performance in various segmentation tasks across different data scales. It achieves (IoU) metrics of 84.68%, 82.02%, and 78.82% on public datasets of teeth CT (CBCT), ovarian tumors ultrasound(MMOTU), and skin lesions dermoscopy images (ISIC 2018), respectively.
