Progressive Learning with Anatomical Priors for Reliable Left Atrial Scar Segmentation from Late Gadolinium Enhancement MRI

ArXi:2603.26186v1 Announce Type: cross Cardiac MRI late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) enables non-invasive identification of left atrial (LA) scar, whose spatial distribution is strongly associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) severity and recurrence. However, automatic LA scar segmentation remains challenging due to low contrast, annotation variability, and the lack of anatomical constraints, often leading to non-reliable predictions. Accordingly, our aim was to propose a progressive learning strategy to segment LA scar from LGE images inspired from a clinical workflow.
