Outline

Medical image segmentation, especially polyp detection, faces the challenge of data scarcity due to annotation that requires expert knowledge. In this paper, we present the SynDiff framework, which combines text-based synthetic data generation with efficient diffusion-based segmentation. We augment the limited training data with semantically diverse samples by generating clinically realistic synthetic polyps via text-conditional inpainting using a latent diffusion model. Unlike existing diffusion methods that require iterative denoising, we introduce direct latent estimation that enables single-step inference that provides computational speedup of T x . On CVC-ClinicDB, SynDiff achieves 96.0% Dice and 92.9% IoU, while maintaining real-time capabilities suitable for clinical deployment. The framework demonstrates that controlled synthetic augmentation improves segmentation robustness without distribution shift. SynDiff bridges the gap between data-hungry deep learning models and clinical constraints, providing an efficient solution for deployment in resource-constrained healthcare environments.
