CAAF-ResUNet: Adaptive Attention Fusion with Boundary-Aware Loss for Lung Nodule Segmentation

<i>Background and Objectives</i>: The accurate segmentation of pulmonary nodules in computed tomography (CT) remains a critical yet challenging task due to variations in nodule size, shape, and boundary ambiguity. This study proposes CAAF-ResUNet (Context-Aware Adaptive Attention Fusion...
