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

Abstract

Distribution-free risk control adds organ-specific recall guarantees to frozen segmentation. We calibrate per-organ thresholds for an AMOS-trained nnU-Net, audit transfer to RAOS, and estimate local re-certification cost using case-level voxel false-negative rate (FNR). The AMOS control passes, but $7/12$ organs exceed $\alpha{=}0.10$ after transfer; smaller calibration sets can mask exceedances with conservative or vacuous thresholds. Risk-Controlling Prediction Sets (RCPS) give high-probability control of population-mean risk, whereas Conformal Risk Control (CRC) gives weaker expectation control. Both require exchangeability; fixed and global thresholds give no per-organ guarantee. The Waudby--Smith--Ramdas (WSR) betting bound re-certifies six Tier-1 organs with 25 local cases, versus 30--40 for Hoeffding--Bentkus (HB). CRC needs 10--15 but has a heavier individual-case tail. No Tier-2 organ meets our illustrative precision criterion with 25 cases.

Appearance-aware robustness probes for strict external breast ultrasound segmentation under multi-source joint training

A targeted source-inclusion sensitivity analysis indicates model- and cohort-dependent sensitivity to training-pool composition, rather than a universal benefit from adding data or a universally preferred configuration, in breast ultrasound segmentation.

Internal feasibility evaluation of SAM-Med3D for cervical cancer clinical target volume segmentation on planning computed tomography

The SAM-Med3D model was initialized from public pretrained weights and fine-tuned on the training cohort without architectural modification, then assessed with simulated/oracle-guided prompts at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 clicks using Dice, HD95, 3-mm surface Dice, and volume consistency.

DynU-Net: Dynamic Uncertainty-Aware Multi-task U-Net for Joint Lesion Segmentation and Classification in Medical Imaging

A Dynamic Uncertainty-aware Network (DynU-Net) is proposed, a multi-task framework that adaptively balances segmentation and classification through learnable per-task uncertainty parameters that consistently outperforms both single-task and existing multi-task baselines.
