The Diagnosis a Reporter Leaves Unspoken: Surfacing Frozen Tumor Features for Brain-Tumor MRI Reporting

The paper introduces NeuroFusion, an assistive brain‑MRI report generator that surfaces latent tumor signals from a frozen Mistral‑7B backbone. By adding discriminative field‑classifier heads over per‑lesion features, NeuroFusion restores accurate diagnoses (meningioma 0.92, metastasis 0.75) and improves prose quality while reducing latency 5–6×. A controlled negative result shows that overriding the decoder with a learned diagnosis pin harms performance, and grammar‑constrained decoding yields high schema‑validity (92.3%).

Pre- and Post-Treatment Brain Metastases Segmentation Using nnU-Net with Post-Processing for BraTS 2026

The paper presents a pragmatic segmentation pipeline for brain metastases in the BraTS 2026 Task 1, using a 5‑fold nnU-Net ResEnc‑L ensemble trained for 1,000 epochs on 1,296 four‑modality cases. A rule‑based post‑processing cascade tuned for the lesion‑wise Dice similarity coefficient (LW‑DSC) improves performance, achieving LW‑DSC scores of 0.733, 0.751, 0.713, and 0.549 on enhancing tumour, tumour core, whole tumour, and resection cavity, respectively. The authors audit each post‑processing stage with a five‑fold out‑of‑fold analysis, confirm two stages as robust, and provide a mechanistic analysis of LW‑DSC, along with thirteen negative results that challenge common intuitions.

Pre- and Post-Treatment Brain Metastases Segmentation Using nnU-Net with Post-Processing for BraTS 2026

The paper presents a segmentation pipeline for brain metastases in both pre‑ and post‑treatment cases using a 5‑fold nnU‑Net ResEnc‑L ensemble trained on 1,296 four‑modality cases. A rule‑based post‑processing cascade improves the lesion‑wise Dice similarity coefficient (LW‑DSC) for enhancing tumour, tumour core, whole tumour, and resection cavity sub‑regions, achieving LW‑DSC scores of 0.733, 0.751, 0.713, and 0.549 respectively on the official validation leaderboard. The authors conduct a five‑fold out‑of‑fold analysis to validate the robustness of each post‑processing stage, provide a mechanistic explanation of LW‑DSC behaviour, and report thirteen negative results that challenge common intuitions, with all code released under Apache‑2.0.

Observation-Anchored Selective Assimilation for Longitudinal Tumor-State Proxy Forecasting in Post-Treatment Glioma

The paper introduces Observation‑Anchored Selective Assimilation (OASA) for forecasting tumor‑state proxies in post‑treatment glioma patients using serial MRI observations. OASA anchors the patient‑specific state with an intermediate observation and selectively updates it via a tiered rule and voxel‑wise soft gate, outperforming baseline methods in Dice score at certain thresholds. The approach is validated on 120 patient triplets and the code is publicly released.

Pathology Transport: Optimal-Transport Explanations for Clinical Data, and When Their Heatmaps (Fail to) Localize Disease

The paper presents an optimal‑transport based generative model that learns the distributional differences between healthy and diseased patients, producing per‑patient counterfactuals and label‑free attribution heatmaps. On tabular breast cancer data the model achieves high malignancy scoring (AUROC ≈ 0.91) and its attributions correlate moderately with a supervised classifier, yet it does not surpass logistic regression. In chest X‑ray experiments the transport heatmaps capture population‑level signals but fail to localize real lesions, revealing a synthetic‑to‑real gap that challenges the reliability of label‑free explanations.
