arXiv:2512.08216v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate segmentation of lung tumors from 3D computed tomography (CT) scans is essential for automated treatment planning and response assessment. Despite self-supervised pretraining on numerous datasets, state-of-the-art transformer backbones remain susceptible to out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs, often producing confidently incorrect segmentations with potential for risk in clinical deployment. Hence, we introduce RF-Deep, a lightweight post-hoc random forests-based framework that leverages deep features trained with limited outlier exposure, requiring as few as 40 labeled scans (20 in-distribution and 20 OOD), to improve scan-level OOD detection. RF-Deep repurposes the hierarchical features from the pretrained-then-finetuned segmentation backbones, aggregating features from multiple regions-of-interest anchored to predicted tumor regions to capture OOD likelihood.
