Patient-Level Data Splitting
A standard practice in medical imaging evaluation in which training and test sets are split by patient ID rather than by image, preventing similar lesions from the same patient from appearing across sets and thereby causing inflated metrics.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In medical imaging, data governance pipelines reduce noise through patient-level splits, multi-annotator consistency checks and image quality screening, so that the model learns lesion-discriminative features rather than acquisition bias.
In medical imaging evaluation, standard practice is to split the dataset by patient ID to ensure the test set patients do not overlap with the training set, and to report the class balancing strategy, sensitivity/specificity, AUC and confidence intervals, and to state whether an external independent dataset was used for validation.
