Combining General and Domain-Specific Pretext Tasks for Brain MR Image Segmentation

The paper investigates combining a domain‑specific self‑supervised task—voxel‑level brain age prediction—with a general task—image inpainting—to pretrain models for brain MRI segmentation. A multitask pretraining framework jointly optimizes both objectives, yielding representations that outperform single‑task pretraining and training from scratch on three segmentation benchmarks (multiple sclerosis lesions, ischemic stroke lesions, and cortical structures). The study demonstrates that integrating domain‑specific and general self‑supervised tasks benefits the development of generalizable neuroimaging foundation models.

Single-Subject Multi-View MRI Super-Resolution via Implicit Neural Representations

The paper introduces SIMS-MRI, a self‑supervised framework that performs single‑subject multi‑view MRI super‑resolution using implicit neural representations. It processes anisotropic multi‑view scans without pre‑ or post‑processing, employing a multi‑resolution hash‑encoded representation and learned inter‑view alignment to produce isotropic reconstructions. The method is validated on simulated brain and clinical prostate MRI datasets, and the code will be publicly released.

Anatomy-Anchored Self-Supervision: Distilling Vision Foundation Models for Invariant Ultrasound Representation

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.
