Reliability under sparse and heterogeneous failures remains a fundamental challenge for medical image segmentation. High average accuracy can conceal a small set of structurally distinct and clinicall...
arXiv:2606. 00491v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning-based CT segmentation systems often achieve high accuracy on clean benchmark images, but their performance may degrade under heterogeneous clinical imaging conditions such as noise, resolution loss, contrast variation, intensity shift, and artifacts.
arXiv:2604. 15271v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliable uncertainty estimation is critical for medical image segmentation, where automated contours feed downstream quantification and clinical decision support.
arXiv:2608. 10903v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable clinical deployment of machine learning requires models that know when they are likely to fail, particularly for subgroups underrepresented in training data.
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.
arXiv:2609.10261v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-modal medical image segmentation leverages complementary diagnostic information, yet fusion can underperform single-modality baselines when spati...
arXiv:2610.01452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While state-of-the-art automated models for medical image segmentation achieve high mean performance, they frequently suffer from localized, catastroph...
arXiv:2608. 03342v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conditional segmentation models may be trained and evaluated with auxiliary signals cleaner than those available at deployment.
The paper introduces ExiL, a mask‑conditioned progressive learning framework for bone ultrasound segmentation that models annotation as a structured refinement trajectory. ExiL uses a synthetic expert‑like brush simulator and a lightweight U‑Net to learn from imperfect masks, and it can be updated in real time from expert refinements. In experiments on UltraBones100k and a prospective volunteer dataset, ExiL cut average annotation time from 60 to 20 seconds per frame and improved mean Dice by about 0.045, achieving 0.87 Dice and 2.7 px boundary error with 10–50 ms inference.
arXiv:2606. 03069v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generalized segmentation of medical images prevents performance degradation when different imaging devices and clinical protocols are used across multiple domains.
Region-based loss functions, such as the Dice loss, have established themselves as the de facto standard for highly class- and region-imbalanced segmentation tasks. However, models trained using region-based loss functions are notoriously miscalibrated and typically yield over-confident predictions.
