The Segment Anything Model (SAM) has drawn significant attention from researchers who work on medical image segmentation because of its generalizability. However, researchers have found that SAM may have limited performance on medical images compared to state-of-the-art non-foundation models. Regardless, the community sees potential in extending, fine-tuning, modifying, and evaluating SAM for analysis of medical imaging. An increasing number of works have been published focusing on the mentioned four directions, where variants of SAM are proposed. To this end, a unified platform helps push the boundary of the foundation model for medical images, facilitating the use, modification, and validation of SAM and its variants in medical image segmentation. In this work, we introduce SAMM Extended (SAMME), a platform that integrates new SAM variant models, adopts faster communication protocols, accommodates new interactive modes, and allows for fine-tuning of subcomponents of the models. These features can expand the potential of foundation models like SAM, and the results can be translated to applications such as image-guided therapy, mixed reality interaction, robotic navigation, and data augmentation.

SAMME是一个扩展了新的SAM变种模型、采用更快的通信协议、适应了新的交互模式、并允许对模型的子组件进行微调的平台，通过这些功能可以拓展SAM等基础模型的潜力，并将结果应用于图像引导治疗、混合现实互动、机器导航和数据增强等应用。
