April 2026 in “Scientific Reports” The study introduces MSF-VMDNet, a novel deep learning model designed for multi-class segmentation of skin cancer whole-slide images, addressing the complexity of differentiating 10 distinct tissue classes. This model combines U-Net and Vision Mamba dual encoders to enhance feature extraction and segmentation accuracy. The U-Net encoder uses an improved AFNO spectral decomposition module for high-resolution semantic information, while the Vision Mamba encoder optimizes long-range dependency modeling. The SCConv module fuses features from various frequency domains and spatial levels. MSF-VMDNet outperforms existing methods, achieving an MIoU of 95.37% and a Dice coefficient of 95.11%, and demonstrates strong generalization across multiple datasets.
