Abstract: Highlights•Non-salient regions complement tiny tubular structures better than salient features.•Progressive learning strategies enhance non-salient features of tubular structures.•The dual-stream receptive field encoder leverages distinct features at multiple levels.•The proposed framework improves segmentation performance while reducing fractures.
