arXiv:2607. 26829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many high-performing volumetric segmentation models maintain dense multi-scale feature maps, leading to high activation memory and inference cost.
arXiv:2608. 04515v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Slice-based MLLMs leverage mature 2D encoders by representing 3D volumes as sequences of 2D slices.
Foundation models such as Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) have transformed natural-image and video segmentation, and recent work has begun adapting them to medical imaging. These adaptations, however, are largely general-purpose models that treat MRI as one modality among many; large-scale, MRI-specific modelling and benchmarking remain limited, even though MRI's low soft-tissue contrast leaves many boundaries effectively invisible on individual slices.
arXiv:2603. 11625v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While specialized Medical Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable success in interpreting 2D and 3D medical modalities, their deployment for 3D volumetric data remains constrained by significant computational inefficiencies.
arXiv:2608. 08575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate 3D medical image segmentation requires the integration of long-range anatomical context with fine boundary detail.
arXiv:2608. 08713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models offer a promising path toward automating radiology report generation, but applying them to full 3D CT volumes poses substantial computational challenges.
arXiv:2608. 08135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modality medical image translation can reduce the burden of multi-modal acquisitions, yet the field remains constrained by two coupled limitations: methods operate on 2D slices or 3D patches rather than whole volumes, and train a separate model for each translation task.
arXiv:2608. 16377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Instance-level lesion detection has been an increasingly larger focal point in medical image segmentation besides the more standard voxel-level overlap.
arXiv:2608. 00508v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Object detection and segmentation in three-dimensional medical images is a very active area of research.
arXiv:2606. 19824v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate segmentation of thin, tortuous anatomical structures, such as retinal vessels, cerebral vasculature, and facial wrinkles, remains challenging due to low contrast, frequent discontinuities, and severe class imbalance.
arXiv:2606. 03180v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) for radiology have emerged as a scalable paradigm by leveraging image-report pairs naturally produced in clinical workflows.
arXiv:2608. 07340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Registration-based Few-shot medical image segmentation (RFMIS) aims to generate pseudo-labels for unlabeled images by warping a labeled image through registration.
arXiv:2608. 05960v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Routine CT interpretation is inherently comprehensive, capturing incidental findings across the entire scan volume.
