Dimensionality Reduction for Improving Out-of-Distribution Detection in Medical Image Segmentation.

ABSTRACT: Clinically-deployed deep learning-based segmentation models are known to fail on data outside of their training distributions. While clinicians review the segmentations, these models do tend to perform well in most instances, which could exacerbate automation bias. Therefore, it is critical to detect out-of-distribution images at inference to warn the clinicians that the model likely failed. This work applies the Mahalanobis distance post hoc to the bottleneck features of a Swin UNETR model that segments the liver on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. By reducing the dimensions of the bottleneck features with principal component analysis, images the model failed on were detected with high performance and minimal computational load. Specifically, the proposed technique achieved 92% are
