arXiv:2608. 19965v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Segmentation of curvilinear anatomical structures in 3D medical images remains challenging due to complex topology, severe class imbalance, weak contrast, and large variations in structure morphology.
The paper introduces a geometry‑guided sampling operator that directs feature sampling rather than altering convolution kernels in 3D encoder‑decoder networks. By predicting local orientations and bounded step sizes, the operator samples symmetrically around each voxel, generating compact geometric and boundary cues that improve fine‑structure segmentation. Replacing stride‑1 and stride‑2 operations in a 3D U‑Net yields consistent gains on BraTS, MSD Hepatic Vessel, and TDSC‑ABUS datasets, with better boundary metrics and fewer parameters, and the operator can be integrated into other backbones without architectural changes.
The growing number of medical vision foundation models highlights the need for effective model selection. However, mainstream selection methods rely on exhaustive fine-tuning, which is computationally expensive.

arXiv:2606. 03888v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-supervised learning has enabled large-scale pre-training on 2D natural images, producing general-purpose visual representations that transfer effectively across tasks.
Pix2Rep-v2 is a self‑supervised learning framework that learns pixel‑ and voxel‑level representations for dense medical imaging tasks, using a redundancy‑reduction objective and equivariance principles to scale to 3D and wide field‑of‑view data. The method is evaluated on four datasets across multiple modalities, tasks, and backbones, demonstrating higher data‑efficiency in few‑shot scenarios and competitive performance, such as a +9.3 Dice point improvement in one‑shot segmentation on the M&Ms‑2 dataset. An in‑context dense prototype approach is also proposed, eliminating the need for downstream training.
