Title: Challenges in Deep Learning-Based Small Organ Segmentation: A Benchmarking Perspective for Medical Research with Limited Datasets

Abstract:
arXiv:2509.05892v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate segmentation of carotid artery structures in histopathological images is vital for cardiovascular disease research. This study systematically evaluates ten deep learning segmentation models including classical architectures, modern CNNs, a Vision Transformer, and foundation models, on a limited dataset of nine cardiovascular histology images. We conducted ablation studies on data augmentation, input resolution, and random seed st
