Medical image classification models are ideally expected to identify diagnostically relevant regions while making predictions, yet standard classification losses rarely provide spatial supervision. Explicit supervision via anatomical shape information, such as segmentation masks of task-relevant anatomy, has been shown to guide the network toward regions relevant to the target prediction.

The paper introduces Multiview Masked Autoencoder (MVMAE), a self‑supervised framework that uses the natural multi‑view structure of radiology studies to learn view‑invariant, disease‑relevant representations by combining masked image reconstruction with cross‑view alignment. An extended version, MVMAE‑V2T, adds radiology reports as an auxiliary text signal to improve semantic grounding while keeping inference vision‑only. Experiments on MIMIC‑CXR, CheXpert, and PadChest show that MVMAE outperforms supervised and vision‑language baselines, and MVMAE‑V2T yields further gains, especially when labeled data are scarce.

DART is a new RGB‑D pretraining method for surgical vision foundation models that incorporates pseudo‑labeled depth maps as a pixel‑space reconstruction target during training. By adding a depth reconstruction head to DINOv2’s masked iBOT framework, DART improves representation quality without affecting downstream RGB‑only fine‑tuning or inference. Across eight surgical benchmarks—including segmentation, depth estimation, and image‑level recognition—DART outperforms both natural‑image and in‑domain baselines, demonstrating that geometric pseudo‑labels can strengthen foundation model pretraining without extra labels or inference cost.
