Researchers evaluated the effectiveness of incorporating explicit anatomical shape priors into deep learning models for cardiac segmentation using CT scans. They found that while standard 3D U-Net models performed strongly, the addition of handcrafted shape priors yielded only marginal and inconsistent improvements, sometimes even degrading performance. The study suggests that current deep learning models implicitly capture significant anatomical information, and future advancements may rely more on sophisticated learned priors rather than simpler handcrafted constraints.
