Topology-Constrained Quantized nnUNet for 3D Tooth Segmentation
New framework integrates topology loss into quantization-aware training for nnUNet, preserving anatomical constraints (tooth count, adjacency, cavity integrity) while reducing model size. Directly applicable to medical imaging practitioners deploying segmentation models on edge devices without accuracy loss.
