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.

Medical image segmentation models can achieve strong benchmark performance while remaining sensitive to scanner, protocol, and institutional variation. These context shifts alter image appearance without changing the underlying lesion, allowing models to exploit nuisance cues that Dice and HD95 fail to expose.
arXiv:2606. 10713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The nnU-Net has demonstrated continuous success in medical segmentation tasks, which heavily rely on the availability and diversity of annotated biomedical data.

arXiv:2605. 16427v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep learning models for echocardiography segmentation often struggle to generalise across institutions, scanners, and patient populations, where collecting large, consistently annotated datasets is infeasible.

arXiv:2608. 06613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-supervised 3D medical foundation models are increasingly used as general-purpose feature extractors, yet their sensitivity to MRI artifacts remains poorly understood.

arXiv:2607. 05965v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vascular computed tomography datasets are commonly annotated only once per scan, yielding the pervasive yet under addressed problem of single mask annotation noise.

arXiv:2505. 07573v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Renal mass segmentation has important potential to enhance the clinical workflow, especially in settings requiring quantitative assessments.

arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.

arXiv:2607. 11287v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Comprehensive quantification of cardiac structures from computed tomography (CT) remains limited not by data availability but by the scalability of measurements, which makes routine use impractical.

arXiv:2606. 16868v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While federated learning (FL) enables collaborative medical image segmentation without centralizing sensitive data, real-world deployment is frequently complicated by cross-site label imperfections such as contour disagreement, missing or additional structures, and confused labels.
