Segmentation Baseline
Segmentation baselines in medical imaging aim to establish reliable and robust methods for automatically delineating anatomical structures in images, crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Current research focuses on improving baseline performance through techniques like transformer networks for direct segmentation from raw data, test-time training with knowledge distillation from foundation models to adapt to varying image distributions, and incorporating uncertainty quantification for more reliable predictions. These advancements address limitations of traditional methods, improving accuracy, robustness to artifacts (e.g., motion, noise), and providing confidence measures for clinicians, ultimately enhancing the reliability and clinical utility of automated segmentation in healthcare.
