The paper introduces the first adaptation of the MedSAM2 foundation model for interactive 3D segmentation of interstitial lung disease (ILD) on thoracic CT scans. It evaluates three fine‑tuning strategies and four prompt types—bounding‑boxes, points, lassos, and scribbles—finding that full model fine‑tuning yields the best performance, improving Dice scores by 4.7 percentage points over the baseline. A proof‑of‑concept workflow is presented where MedSAM2 is first initialized with an automatic prior and then refined by radiologist prompts, with all resources released on GitHub.

The article presents a comparative study of convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures for classifying COVID-19 from healthy lung images using CT and X‑ray scans. Multiple pre‑trained models—including VGG, DenseNet, ResNet, MobileNet, Xception, Inception, EfficientNet, and NasNet—were evaluated on two X‑ray and two CT datasets. ResNet and VGG achieved the highest accuracies, ranging from 95% to 98%, outperforming previous reports in the literature.

arXiv:2606. 16991v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multiphasic contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) is widely used for abdominal lesion characterization, yet it carries inherent risks of contrast-induced nephropathy, escalates acquisition burden, and heavily contributes to radiologist workload.
