The paper introduces RABR-Net, a two‑stage framework that refines biomedical image segmentation boundaries by combining multiple uncertainty measures into a boundary‑aware representation. A gated residual refiner uses this representation to selectively correct uncertain boundary pixels while preserving confident regions, leading to modest but statistically significant improvements in Dice, Boundary Dice, and HD95 metrics on a held‑out test set. Qualitative results show the refiner focuses on uncertain cytoplasm and nucleus boundaries, though calibration does not automatically improve.

Medical image segmentation is often framed as a search for stronger architectures, but this can obscure a more fundamental question: what does the dataset require from the model? In medical imaging, this requirement is shaped by foreground occupancy, morphology, boundary ambiguity, topology sensitivity, annotation quality, acquisition variation, and operating point.

The study explores how adding anatomical priors and active learning can improve the accuracy of deep learning models for segmenting the Clinical Target Volume (CTV) in gastric cancer radiotherapy. Using 100 retrospective CT scans, an nnU‑Net model trained on 10 expert‑contoured cases was enhanced with voxel‑wise anatomical prior maps and iterative active learning over four rounds. The combined approach raised the mean Dice Similarity Coefficient from 0.84 to 0.87, demonstrating that both techniques individually and together improve segmentation performance and generalizability.

arXiv:2607. 22727v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image segmentation models often report high benchmark accuracy under ideal imaging conditions, yet their failures under clinical degradation can be quiet: sensor noise, patient motion, low- resolution acquisition, and contrast variability may all alter model behavior without producing an obvious warning.
