contents The U-Net model has consistently demonstrated strong performance in the field of medical image segmentation, with various improvements and enhancements made since its introduction. This paper presents a novel architecture that integrates KAN networks with U-Net, leveraging the powerful nonlinear representation capabilities of KAN networks alongside the established strengths of U-Net. We introduce a KAN-convolution dual-channel structure that enables the model to more effectively capture both local and global features. We explore effective methods for fusing features extracted by KAN with those obtained through convolutional layers, utilizing an auxiliary network to facilitate this integration process. Experiments conducted across multiple datasets show that our model performs well in terms of accuracy, indicating that the KAN-convolution dual-channel approach has significant potential in medical image segmentation tasks.
