Seamless Whole Slide Label-Free Virtual Staining

The paper introduces the Consistency Memory Bank (COMB), a label‑free virtual staining framework designed to process gigapixel Whole Slide Images without the memory bottlenecks of patch‑based deep learning. COMB decouples context storage from computation, using a dynamic retrieval mechanism to fetch feature representations from adjacent tiles, local padding to resolve spatial discontinuities, and neighbor‑aware channel attention to stabilize statistical drift. The method achieves superior perceptual fidelity and tiling consistency compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines, and its improved continuity suggests downstream benefits for tumor segmentation.

MoSSGate: Memory-Modulated State-Space Gating for Skin Lesion Segmentation

MoSSGate is a plug‑and‑play module for U‑Net that improves skin lesion segmentation by combining boundary‑aware spatial gating, an external memory modulator, and parallel 2D state‑space modeling for efficient global context aggregation. The design limits long‑range propagation to informative regions, adapts dynamically to each sample, and preserves sharp lesion boundaries while keeping computational cost low. Experiments on ISIC 2017 and 2018 show state‑of‑the‑art accuracy (86.3%/85.9% mIoU, 92.6%/90.6% Dice) with fewer FLOPs than most CNN baselines.

SWITi: Quantifying and Reducing Tiling Artifacts with Sliding Window Inner Tiling

SWITi is a test-time method for reducing artifacts in tiled predictions, particularly for neural networks that learn posterior distributions from which solutions are sampled at inference time. Tiled predictions are unavoidable for large image data, and artifacts arise whenever tiles are smaller than a network's receptive field and when tiles are independent posterior samples.

SpineContextResUNet: A Computationally Efficient Residual UNet for Spine CT Segmentation

SpineContextResUNet is a lightweight 3D Residual U‑Net that uses a Context Block with parallel multi‑dilated convolutions to efficiently capture long‑range anatomical dependencies for spine CT segmentation. It achieves Dice scores of 88.17% on VerSe2020 and 88.13% on CTSpine1K while maintaining a small ~1.7 M parameter footprint. Compared to resource‑heavy Transformers and baselines that fail on commodity hardware, SpineContextResUNet delivers robust inference on edge devices such as the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano.

AtlasPatch: Scalable Foundation Model-based Tissue Detection and Patch Extraction for Computational Pathology

AtlasPatch is a scalable, high‑throughput whole‑slide image preprocessing method that uses a foundation‑model‑based tissue detector operating at thumbnail resolution. By updating only 0.076% of the SAM2 model weights and leveraging a curated dataset of 30,000 thumbnail‑mask pairs, it generates accurate tissue masks and directly produces patch coordinates at the desired magnification, eliminating repeated patch‑level inference. The approach achieves 0.986 precision, is up to 16× faster than existing deep‑learning methods, and maintains downstream multiple‑instance learning performance across six slide‑level classification tasks.
