Image segmentation is the task of labeling an image at the pixel level, and it underpins much of modern medical imaging, autonomous perception, and scene understanding. Here we break down segmentation architectures, loss functions, and evaluation practices, with frequent attention to the medical settings where boundary accuracy and robustness matter most. Each piece traces the method back to its source research.

Introduction: The Critical Challenge in Digital Pathology The early detection and accurate grading of cancer remains one of modern medicine’s most pressing challenges. For pathologists worldwide, the assessment of gland morphology in histopathological images serves as the gold standard for cancer diagnosis—particularly in colorectal and prostate cancers. However, this critical diagnostic process faces a fundamental

Primary liver cancer stands as the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives annually. Despite advances in medical imaging, diagnosing the three distinct subtypes—hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and the rare combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA)—remains a complex challenge that demands both radiological expertise and comprehensive clinical assessment. A revolutionary
