Outline

In this paper, we propose FedCLAM, a novel method for improving the performance of medical image segmentation in federated learning. To address the problem that existing federated learning methods suffer from performance degradation due to feature differences between institutions, FedCLAM introduces client-adaptive momentum and personalized dampening factor to prevent overfitting, and intensity alignment loss to address the difference in intensity profiles of heterogeneous medical images. Experimental results on two datasets show that FedCLAM outperforms eight existing state-of-the-art methods. The source code is open source.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Contributes to improving the performance of medical image segmentation tasks in a federated learning environment.
We present an overfitting prevention effect using client-adaptive momentum and personalized damping coefficients.
Addressing differences in intensity profiles of heterogeneous medical images using intensity alignment loss.
Demonstrated superior performance over existing state-of-the-art methods.
Increased reproducibility and usability through source code disclosure.
Limitations:
We present only experimental results on limited datasets (two).
Generalization performance needs to be verified for various medical image types and diseases.
Further research is needed on parameter optimization strategies for client-adaptive momentum and strength alignment loss.
Additional validation and evaluation are needed for application in real clinical settings.
