MS-DKC: A Dataset Knowledge Card Framework for Designing and Adapting Medical Image Segmentation Models 文章

arXiv:2606.06103v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical image segmentation is often framed as a search for stronger architectures, but this can obscure a more fundamental question: what does the dataset require from the model? In medical imaging, this requirement is shaped by foreground occupancy, morphology, boundary ambiguity, topology sensitivity, annotation quality, acquisition variation, and operating point. This paper introduces the Medical Segmentation Dataset Knowledge Card (MS-DKC), a framework for making these factors explicit. MS-DKC records dataset evidence through image/acquisition, morphology, supervision, context-dependence, and deployment-risk descriptors. These descriptors are mapped to failure modes, design priors, and risk-aligned criteria, making segmentation design more traceable than architecture-first comparison. We evaluate MS-DKC on DRIVE, ISIC2018, and ACDC, representing distinct regimes.
