Longitudinal Risk Prediction in Mammography with Privileged History Distillation

The paper introduces SEM‑HD, a framework that leverages longitudinal mammography history as privileged information during training to improve risk prediction while requiring only a single current exam at inference. By having a student model predict latent representations of past visits and using teacher supervision from actual longitudinal data, SEM‑HD preserves temporal modeling benefits without needing prior exams at deployment. Experiments on three cohorts and two backbone architectures show consistent gains in long‑horizon AUC and pAUC, especially in low false‑positive‑rate regions, and recover much of the performance gap to full‑history models.

BreastMammo and DenseMammo: Benchmarks for Mammography Domain Generalization

arXiv:2608. 10271v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast density classification is a critical component of breast cancer risk assessment, yet AI models often struggle to generalize across clinical sites due to vendor-specific acquisition styles.

CMCNet: Aligning Ultrasound Image Embeddings with Textual TI-RADS Representations for Fine-Grained Thyroid Classification

arXiv:2608. 13939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for assessing thyroid nodules, and the ACR TI-RADS framework standardizes diagnosis through five ultrasound feature categories that are aggregated into five risk levels (TR1-TR5).

ProtoCAM: Interpretable Few-Shot Mask-Guided Prototypical Learning for Breast Lesion Classification in Ultrasound Imaging

ProtoCAM is an explainable few‑shot learning framework for classifying breast lesions in ultrasound images. It combines mask‑guided feature encoding, prototypical metric learning, and gradient‑based visual explanations to leverage limited annotated data. Evaluated on the BUSI dataset, ProtoCAM achieved a macro F1‑score of 0.910 in a 3‑way 5‑shot setting, outperforming standard supervised CNNs, with ResNet18 reaching 91.65% under 15‑shot conditions.
