Foundation models such as Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) have transformed natural-image and video segmentation, and recent work has begun adapting them to medical imaging. These adaptations, however, are largely general-purpose models that treat MRI as one modality among many; large-scale, MRI-specific modelling and benchmarking remain limited, even though MRI's low soft-tissue contrast leaves many boundaries effectively invisible on individual slices.
Deep snake is a promising family of instance segmentation methods that accurately predicts object-level contours, thereby overcoming common pixel-level misclassification issues such as mask cavities and jagged edges in semantic segmentation approaches. However, existing deep snake methods face challenges in handling complex morphological variations, accurately capturing fine-grained organ details, and correcting base detection errors.

Medical image classification models are ideally expected to identify diagnostically relevant regions while making predictions, yet standard classification losses rarely provide spatial supervision. Explicit supervision via anatomical shape information, such as segmentation masks of task-relevant anatomy, has been shown to guide the network toward regions relevant to the target prediction.
