contents Semi-supervised learning (SSL) techniques address the high labeling costs in 3D medical image segmentation, with the teacher-student model being a common approach. However, using an exponential moving average (EMA) in single-teacher models may cause coupling issues, where the weights of the student and teacher models become similar, limiting the teacher's ability to provide additional knowledge for the student. Dual-teacher models were introduced to address this problem but often neglected the importance of maintaining teacher model diversity, leading to coupling issues among teachers. To address the coupling issue, we incorporate a double-copy-paste (DCP) technique to enhance the diversity among the teachers. Additionally, we introduce the Staged Selective Ensemble (SSE) module, which selects different ensemble methods based on the characteristics of the samples and enables more accurate segmentation of label boundaries, thereby improving the quality of pseudo-labels. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method in 3D medical image segmentation tasks. Here is the code link: https://github.com/Fazhan-cs/DCP.
