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.

Beyond Boundary Noise: Aggregated Aleatoric Uncertainty Fails to Capture Presence Ambiguity in 3D Lung Nodule Segmentation

arXiv:2608. 14766v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Uncertainty estimation is critical for the safe clinical deployment of deep learning in medical image segmentation, with aleatoric uncertainty theoretically designed to capture irreducible data ambiguity.

Beyond Accuracy: Uncertainty-Guided Boundary Refinement for Reliable Biomedical Image Segmentation

The paper introduces RABR-Net, a two‑stage framework that refines biomedical image segmentation boundaries by combining multiple uncertainty measures into a boundary‑aware representation. A gated residual refiner uses this representation to selectively correct uncertain boundary pixels while preserving confident regions, leading to modest but statistically significant improvements in Dice, Boundary Dice, and HD95 metrics on a held‑out test set. Qualitative results show the refiner focuses on uncertain cytoplasm and nucleus boundaries, though calibration does not automatically improve.
