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:2406. 13128v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Due to the intricate structure of vascular trees, minor segmentation errors can significantly alter connectivity patterns and increase variability in extracted morphological properties.
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.
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.

The paper presents a modality‑routed 3D cardiac segmentation pipeline that combines TotalSegmentator‑initialized nnU‑Netv2 models with site‑characterized, label‑preserving appearance augmentation. By analyzing measurable image properties across sites, the authors design a bias‑field plus Bezier augmentation strategy that smooths spatial intensity perturbations and remaps intensities nonlinearly, followed by class‑wise largest‑connected‑component cleanup. On held‑out validation splits, this approach raises CT mean Dice from 0.8350 to 0.9135 and MRI mean Dice from 0.7695 to 0.7830 while reducing HD95, demonstrating improved cross‑site robustness in limited‑data whole‑heart segmentation.
arXiv:2607. 10357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The automatic detection and classification of cardiovascular disease (CVD) from computed tomography (CT) images plays an important role in clinical practice.
arXiv:2607. 22139v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate pixel-level classification of coronary angiograms is critical for cardiovascular disease assessment, yet the field lacks standardized evaluation protocols.
Whole-heart segmentation from CT and MRI is essential for quantitative cardiac image analysis, but remains challenging under multi-center and multi-modality distribution shift. In the CARE whole-heart...
The paper examines how residual misalignments from registration procedures introduce structured label noise in supervised synthetic CT (sCT) generation. It shows that voxel‑wise metrics are heavily influenced by the consistency between training and evaluation registrations, and that training with anatomically consistent registrations reduces variability and improves robustness. Introducing a perceptual loss based on a pretrained Segment Anything encoder yields sharper, more anatomically coherent sCT and highlights the need for anatomy‑oriented evaluation.
Self-supervised pretraining enables transferable representations for medical imaging, yet most CT encoders remain biased toward coarse semantic understanding, limiting their sensitivity to fine-graine...
