OncoVision is a privileged‑information training framework that learns from mammography images and clinical data during training but performs inference using only mammographic images. It employs an attention‑based encoder‑decoder to jointly segment masses, calcifications, axillary findings, and breast tissue, and predicts ten structured clinical features such as BI‑RADS. Two late‑fusion strategies (Independent and Dependent) integrate imaging, radiomic, and clinical information to improve diagnostic precision, and a retrospective multi‑reader study showed higher diagnostic confidence, reduced reading time, and segmentation accuracy comparable to or better than radiologists.

The paper introduces TopKSigLIP, a vision‑language model tailored for mammography that tackles two key challenges: high‑resolution imaging and homogeneous radiology reports. It replaces standard CLIP training with a TopK‑Patch module that selects sparse high‑resolution patches likely to contain lesions, and a Sup‑sigmoid loss that uses soft labels from structured data instead of contrastive loss. TopKSigLIP outperforms existing open‑source mammography and general medical VLMs on zero‑shot tasks such as density assessment, BI‑RADS classification, finding subtyping, and cancer prediction, while also providing better lesion localization than Grad‑CAM.

M3D‑Net is a mammography encoder that hierarchically coordinates multi‑scale coordinate attention, bounded dynamic feature reuse, and differential attention through resolution‑aware operator placement. It preserves earlier features within stages, integrates local and global context via coordinate‑aware aggregation, and applies differential attention at coarse resolutions. In image‑only classification on AISSLab mammography and an adapted image‑clinical model on BrEaST ultrasound, M3D‑Net achieves the highest validation accuracy and lowest endpoint cross‑entropy loss compared to EdgeNeXt, RepViT, and TransXNet, with accuracies of 97.78% and 80.39% respectively.

arXiv:2608. 15019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast mass segmentation is an important step in computer-aided mammography, but it remains difficult because masses can have low contrast, irregular shapes, and boundaries that blend with surrounding breast tissue.

MTMed3D is a multi-task Transformer-based model that jointly performs 3D detection, segmentation, and classification in medical imaging. It uses a shared Transformer encoder to produce multi-scale features, with separate CNN decoders for each task. Evaluated on BraTS 2018 and 2019, it achieves strong results, especially in detection, while reducing computational cost and inference time compared to single-task models.

arXiv:2607. 06309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate breast cancer classification from mammography requires effective integration of complementary information from craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views, which provide a more complete characterization of breast abnormalities.

The paper presents a lightweight CNN‑integrated Compact Convolutional Transformer (CCT) designed for multi‑scale feature learning in breast cancer mammography. With only 250,435 parameters, the model achieved 99‑100% accuracy across three datasets using 5‑fold cross‑validation, demonstrating robust generalization. Explainable AI components were added to clarify the classification process, aiming to increase clinical trust in resource‑constrained settings.
