arXiv:2605. 25402v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-supervised pre-training paradigm has gained increasing prominence for learning transferable representations in medical imaging, yet existing methods for ultrasound (US) images operate at the image or frame level, overlooking the anatomical context for clinical-aligned representation learning.
The paper presents a 3D foundation model for light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSM) that is pretrained on a large curated set of 3D images from various organisms, stains, and imaging protocols. By jointly optimizing for masked reconstruction and image‑text alignment, the model learns transferable volumetric representations that dramatically reduce the need for annotated data. The pretrained backbone enables efficient few‑shot adaptation to downstream tasks such as segmentation, classification, and deblurring, consistently outperforming baselines according to standard metrics and expert evaluation.
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.

DALE-CT introduces depth‑aware 2D slice encoders that learn an anatomical world model of chest CT scans without 3D or positional supervision. By sampling self‑supervised views across a physical $z$‑axis slab, the encoder captures how anatomy changes between neighboring slices, enabling it to recover slice ordering and distinguish slices by anatomy alone. The model, trained on a large 287k‑scan corpus, achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on CT‑RATE and is released with full code and evaluation tools.
arXiv:2603. 12514v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate detection and localization of traumatic injuries in abdominal CT remain challenging because voxel-level annotations are limited and expensive to obtain.
nnFoundation introduces complementary convolutional and transformer-based 3D foundation models for radiology, trained on 2.1 million CT, MRI, and PET volumes from 125 datasets. The models are evaluated on 108 tasks—including segmentation, detection, classification, report generation, and image retrieval—under domain shift, low-data, and low-compute scenarios, consistently outperforming prior 3D foundation models and training from scratch. Performance varies by task type, with convolutional models excelling at spatially localized tasks and transformer models at global semantic reasoning, and dynamic alignment with dataset characteristics further enhances transferability.
