In the field of medical image segmentation, models based on both CNN and Transformer have been thoroughly investigated. However, CNNs have limited modeling capabilities for long-range dependencies, making it challenging to exploit the semantic information within images fully. On the other hand, the quadratic computational complexity poses a challenge for Transformers. State Space Models (SSMs), such as Mamba, have been recognized as a promising method. They not only demonstrate superior performance in modeling long-range interactions, but also preserve a linear computational complexity. The hybrid mechanism of SSM (State Space Model) and Transformer, after meticulous design, can enhance its capability for efficient modeling of visual features. Extensive experiments have demonstrated that integrating the self-attention mechanism into the hybrid part behind the layers of Mamba's architecture can greatly improve the modeling capacity to capture long-range spatial dependencies. In this paper, leveraging the hybrid mechanism of SSM, we propose a U-shape architecture model for medical image segmentation, named Hybird Transformer vision Mamba UNet (HTM-UNet). We conduct comprehensive experiments on the ISIC17, ISIC18, CVC-300, CVC-ClinicDB, Kvasir, CVC-ColonDB, ETIS-Larib PolypDB public datasets and ZD-LCI-GIM private dataset. The results indicate that HTM-UNet exhibits competitive performance in medical image segmentation tasks. Our code is available at https://github.com/simzhangbest/HMT-Unet.
