      ab: Myositis is the inflammation of the muscles that can arise from various sources with diverse symptoms and require different treatments. For treatment to achieve optimal results, it is essential to obtain an accurate diagnosis promptly. This paper presents a new supervised segmentation architecture that can efficiently perform precise segmentation and classification of myositis from ultrasound images with few computational resources. The architecture of our model includes a unique encoder-decoder structure that integrates the Bottleneck Transformer (BOT) with a newly developed Residual block named Multi-Conv Ghost switchable bottleneck Residual Block (MCG_RB). This block effectively captures and analyzes ultrasound image input inside the encoder segment at several resolutions. Moreover, the BOT module is a transformer-style attention module designed to bridge the feature gap between the encoding and decoding stages. Furthermore, multi-level features are retrieved using the MCG-RB module, which combines multi-convolution with ghost switchable residual connections of convolutions for both the encoding and decoding stages. The suggested method attains state-of-the-art performance on a benchmark set of myositis ultrasound images across all parameters, including accuracy, precision, recall, dice coefficient, and Jaccard index. Despite its limited training data, the suggested approach demonstrates remarkable generalizability by yielding exceptional results. The proposed model showed a substantial enhancement in accuracy when compared to segmentation state-of-the-art methods such as Unet++, DeepLabV3, and the Duck-Net. The dice coefficient and Jaccard index obtained improvements of up to 3%, 6%, and 7%, respectively, surpassing the other methods.
