The paper proposes a Federated Learning framework that integrates an optimized YOLOv8 network for detecting kidney stones in CT images while preserving patient privacy. By enabling multiple medical institutions to collaboratively train a shared model without exchanging patient data, the approach complies with GDPR and HIPAA regulations. Experiments on a distributed CT dataset show a 0.733 mAP@50 and demonstrate fast, real‑time inference suitable for clinical deployment.
The privacy requirements of medical data and its substantial variations across organs and modalities hinder the clinical implementation of medical AI. Federated learning (FL) is a feasible approach to overcome these challenges.

Privacy-sensitive and distributed characteristics of multi-center medical data bring severe obstacles to centralized modeling for accurate early prediction of sepsis. Federated learning (FL) has attracted growing attention as a promising framework for collaborative model development, as it allows multiple institutions to jointly train predictive models without directly sharing or centralizing raw data.

Aegis is a client‑side defense for medical federated learning that protects against model inversion attacks by adding a masking gradient derived from locally synthesized data. The method exploits the fact that attacks fail when the effective batch size exceeds the model’s leakage capacity, turning this bottleneck into a privacy guarantee. Experiments on MNIST, CIFAR‑10, and MedMNIST datasets show that Aegis neutralizes state‑of‑the‑art attacks while preserving model accuracy and adding only modest overhead.
Brain tumors such as glioma, meningioma, and pituitary adenoma alter the mechanical behavior of soft brain tissue, yet common diagnostic methods rely on static imaging that cannot capture tumor growth, tissue displacement, or changes in stiffness over time. Deep learning models for this task typically require pooling patient data at one site, which conflicts with privacy rules such as GDPR and HIPAA and limits generalization across institutions, a challenge that is pronounced in neuro oncology given patient diversity.
arXiv:2608. 16268v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical foundation models improve generalization when training AI models with limited labeled data, but remain confined to a single specialty, such as pathology or radiology, and to either sparse or dense outputs, such as classification or segmentation.
