AI models for heart disease segmentation show poor generalization across datasets

A new research paper on arXiv evaluates the out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization capabilities of deep learning models for segmenting congenital heart disease (CHD) from medical images. The study found that models performing well on in-distribution data often fail when applied to different datasets, highlighting a critical gap in current evaluation methods. Architectures like SwinUNETR demonstrated better robustness across varied imaging conditions compared to nnU-Net, especially when provided with limited target-domain supervision. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for more robust evaluation metrics for medical imaging AI to ensure reliable clinical application.

    Beyond In-Distribution Metrics: A Systematic Out-of-Distribution Evaluation of Congenital Heart Disease Segmentation

    arXiv:2609.17068v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Congenital heart disease (CHD) diagnosis and surgical planning often require patient-specific 3D anatomical models, but manual segmentation is labor-intensive, particularly in complex anatomies. Although deep-learning methods can …
