  • We implemented comparison baselines (3D UNet, V-Net, Attention U-Net, nnFormer, UNETR) trained with the nnU-Net pipeline, and selected the finetuned VesselFM based on voxel Dice and instance Dice metrics from fivefold cross validation.

    “As comparison baselines, we implemented the following architectures: 3D UNet57, V-Net51, Attention U-Net52, nnFormer53 and UNETR54. All were trained by using the nnU-Net pipeline56, with a patch size of 128 × 128 × 128 voxels, channel-wise z-score normalization, learning rate decay and SGD optimizer. The baselines were trained until convergence for 1,000 epochs and initial learning rates of [0.000”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
