arXiv:2607. 19137v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inferring contrast enhancement from one pre-contrast breast MRI slice is underdetermined: post-contrast appearance contains physiological information that is not uniquely encoded in baseline anatomy.
By Andrea Borghesi, Xin Wang, Jonas Teuwen, George Yiasemis
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.
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:2607. 02185v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning has achieved remarkable performance in medical image segmentation, yet it suffers from critical limitations: mathematical intractability, substantial parameter requirements, and lack of clinical interpretability.

Inferring contrast enhancement from one pre-contrast breast MRI slice is underdetermined: post-contrast appearance contains physiological information that is not uniquely encoded in baseline anatomy. Optimizing only paired pixel fidelity can suppress uncertain lesion enhancement, whereas adversarial or stochastic generative objectives can favor realistic post-contrast appearance without guaranteeing patient-specific lesion fidelity.

arXiv:2608. 03430v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Four-dimensional cone beam CT (4D CBCT) is important for image-guided radiation therapy of thoracic cancers, but its use is limited by long scan times, causing high patient dose and motion/sparse-sampling artifacts.
