EndoFSA is a GAN-based model designed for endoscopic few-shot image generation, addressing the scarcity of pathological samples in wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) data. It adapts a generator pretrained on abundant normal images to abnormal domains by updating only a small set of rank-constrained modulation parameters while keeping the rest of the weights frozen, thereby preserving anatomical priors and preventing mode collapse. The method incorporates perceptual boundary regularization and cluster-wise diversity control, operates without pixel-level annotations, and demonstrates that synthetic abnormal images can match real images in downstream classification performance.

arXiv:2606. 16868v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While federated learning (FL) enables collaborative medical image segmentation without centralizing sensitive data, real-world deployment is frequently complicated by cross-site label imperfections such as contour disagreement, missing or additional structures, and confused labels.

This study presents a clinically relevant framework for evaluating deep neural networks that segment lymphoma lesions in PET/CT images, addressing gaps such as out‑of‑distribution testing and comparison with expert annotators. Using 611 multi‑institutional cases, the authors assess four networks (ResUNet, SegResNet, DynUNet, SwinUNETR) with lesion‑specific metrics, detection criteria, and metabolic‑characteristic‑based thresholds, finding that models perform best on large, intense lesions. The work also demonstrates that network errors mirror those of physicians, highlighting shared challenges with small, faint lesions.
