Integrating Dynamic Representation and Multi-Priors for Transnasal Intubation via Visual Foundation Model.

Accurate and real-time glottis localization is critical for ensuring intraoperative oxygenation and patient safety during nasotracheal intubation. However, representative foundation models exemplified by the Segment Anything Model exhibit notable limitations in medical applications, stemming from their rigid attention mechanisms, feature space misalignment, and insufficient generalization to complex glottal anatomies. To address these challenges, we propose Glottis-SAM, a lightweight and task-adaptive segmentation framework that integrates dynamic representation learning with multi-prior contextual modeling. Specifically, we introduce a hierarchical low-rank adaptation strategy that enables efficient fine-tuning of visual foundation models by preserving geometric priors while significantly reducing computational overhead. To further enhance semantic fusion and generalization, we design a feature aggregation module with dual-path dynamic feature pyramids, which enables complementary optimization from local textures to global semantic structures under varying anatomical conditions. Extensive experiments on three diverse datasets demonstrate that Glottis-SAM achieves state-of-the-art segmentation accuracy with 72.6% mDice, a compact 55.2 MB model size, and 44.3 FPS inference speed on clinical data. These results highlight the model's robustness, efficiency, and potential for deployment in visual guidance systems for nasotracheal intubation.
