Inline comments:
In `@monai/metrics/surface_distance.py`:
- Around line 210-215: The ternary inside the pred_empty && label_empty block is
dead code; update the branch in the per_component loop to explicitly set asd[b,
c] = 0.0 when both pred_empty and label_empty, and set asd[b, c] = float("nan")
and continue when exactly one of pred_empty or label_empty is true to avoid
passing zero masks into compute_voronoi_regions_fast; modify the block that
checks pred_empty/label_empty (using variables y_pred, y, and asd) so the
both-empty and one-empty cases are handled explicitly and then continue to the
next iteration.
- Around line 113-123: Collapse the redundant nested validation under the
per_component branch into one concise condition that checks y_pred.ndim and
y.ndim are in (4,5), both have channel dim == 2, and y_pred.shape == y.shape,
and if that fails raise the existing ValueError (include the same descriptive
message referencing tuple(y_pred.shape) and tuple(y.shape)); then remove the
inner re-derived predicates (same_rank, binary_channels, same_shape). Also
update the _compute_tensor docstring to include a "Raises: ValueError" entry
documenting the per_component shape/channel requirements and the error case.
In `@tests/metrics/test_surface_distance.py`:
- Around line 144-181: The test uses inverted variable names y / y_hat (in
TEST_CASES_CC_METRICS) contrary to MONAI convention and the metric signature;
rename y_hat -> y_pred and y -> y_true (or y) throughout the test block and
ensure the pairs are appended in the metric's expected order (pass y_pred first,
then y_true) when calling sd_metric / when adding entries to
TEST_CASES_CC_METRICS so the first tensor is the prediction and the second is
the ground truth; update all occurrences in this snippet (the five
TEST_CASES_CC_METRICS.append blocks) to mirror the metric argument order.

Nitpick comments:
In `@monai/metrics/surface_distance.py`:
- Around line 165-192: Update the docstring of compute_average_surface_distance
to include a Returns: section describing the returned tensor (e.g., tensor of
shape [B, C] or [B] depending on include_background/per_component and symmetric
flags, datatype torch.float32, containing average (or symmetric) surface
distances per batch/component) and a Raises: section documenting exceptions
propagated from _compute_tensor (e.g., ValueError for shape or channel
mismatches, and any other specific errors raised by spacing/metric validation).
Mention that per_component affects output granularity and that a ValueError is
raised on input shape mismatch (propagated from _compute_tensor). Reference
compute_average_surface_distance and _compute_tensor so the maintainer can
locate where to add the Returns: and Raises: entries.
- Around line 43-55: The docstring note block in
monai/metrics/surface_distance.py is not using proper Sphinx/reST formatting so
it renders as plain text; update the docstring to either (a) use a Google-style
"Note:" section with a blank line after the section header and indent the
following bullet list lines, or (b) replace it with a reST admonition using "..
note::" followed by a blank line and indented bullets, and ensure the bullet
list items describing input shape, multiclass restriction, and the paper
reference are each on their own indented lines; apply this change in the
module/function docstring where the per_component=True description appears so
Sphinx will render the note and bullets correctly.
- Around line 226-256: The three duplicated ternary slice expressions (for
crop_pred, crop_label, cc_crop_mask) should be replaced by computing a single
slice tuple based on the array dimensionality and reusing it for all three; e.g.
build slices = (slice(min_corner_idx[0], max_corner_idx[0]+1),
slice(min_corner_idx[1], max_corner_idx[1]+1), slice(min_corner_idx[2],
max_corner_idx[2]+1)) if y_pred.ndim == 5 else (slice(min_corner_idx[0],
max_corner_idx[0]+1), slice(min_corner_idx[1], max_corner_idx[1]+1)) and then
use that tuple to index y_pred[b, c], y[b, c], and cc_mask to assign crop_pred,
crop_label, and cc_crop_mask respectively.
In `@tests/metrics/test_surface_distance.py`:
- Around line 234-236: Expand the test_channel_dimensions test to assert
ValueError for the other validation branches in SurfaceDistanceMetric: add cases
for mismatched tensor ranks (e.g., 4D vs 5D), tensors with correct rank but
invalid channel count (channels != 2), and tensors with matching rank and
channel count but mismatched spatial shapes; keep using
SurfaceDistanceMetric(per_component=True) and self.assertRaises(ValueError) for
each new case so all new validation branches are exercised.
- Around line 224-232: Update test_cc_metrics to cover symmetric/asymmetric and
spacing variations: parametrize the test over symmetric (True/False) and spacing
values (e.g., default and non-unit) similar to other tests, instantiate
SurfaceDistanceMetric(per_component=True, symmetric=<param>, spacing=<param>),
call sd_metric(seg_1, seg_2) and aggregate(reduction="none"), and add an
assertion that result.device matches the expected device (as done in
test_value). Ensure this exercises get_edge_surface_distance per component by
reusing TEST_CASES_CC_METRICS while sweeping the symmetric and spacing
parameters.
