Bound-Aware Per-Organ Recall Risk Control for Multi-Organ CT Segmentation under Clinical Domain Shift

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper presents a distribution‑free risk‑control framework that provides organ‑specific recall guarantees for frozen multi‑organ CT segmentation models. It calibrates per‑organ thresholds for an AMOS‑trained nnU‑Net, audits its transfer to RAOS, and estimates local re‑certification costs using case‑level voxel false‑negative rates. The study compares Risk‑Controlling Prediction Sets (RCPS) and Conformal Risk Control (CRC), noting that RCPS offers high‑probability control of population‑mean risk while CRC provides weaker expectation control, and evaluates the effectiveness of the Waudby–Smith–Ramdas betting bound versus Hoeffding–Bentkus bounds for re‑certification. "whyItMatters":"The work demonstrates how to maintain organ‑level recall guarantees when deploying segmentation models across different clinical domains, highlighting the trade‑offs between threshold conservatism and re‑certification effort."

Trustworthy Medical Segmentation: Uncertainty-Aware U-Net Evaluation Under Clinical Image Degradation

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.

A Joint Finite-Sample Certificate for Adaptive Selective Conformal Risk Control

arXiv:2606. 08517v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selective predictors answer on confident inputs and abstain elsewhere; deploying one safely needs a single finite-sample certificate that simultaneously upper-bounds the selected risk, lower-bounds the acceptance probability $\pacc$ above a floor $\pmin$, and lower-bounds the deployment utility.
