arXiv:2605. 12567v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The inherent electronic and speckle noise complicates clinical interpretation of ultrasound images.
arXiv:2606. 25009v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ultrasound is a non-invasive, real-time, and cost-effective imaging technique widely used in clinical diagnosis.
arXiv:2605. 12567v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The inherent electronic and speckle noise complicates clinical interpretation of ultrasound images.
arXiv:2608. 15537v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate boundary delineation remains a persistent challenge in dermoscopic image segmentation because of blurred lesion margins, heterogeneous textures, and complex background artifacts.
arXiv:2511. 15968v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: External validation of breast ultrasound segmentation models remains limited because internal train--test splits do not capture domain shifts across imaging systems, acquisition protocols, and patient populations.
arXiv:2607. 19137v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inferring contrast enhancement from one pre-contrast breast MRI slice is underdetermined: post-contrast appearance contains physiological information that is not uniquely encoded in baseline anatomy.
arXiv:2607. 17551v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a bedside tool for assessing pulmonary edema in patients at risk due to heart failure or impaired kidney function.
arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.
arXiv:2608. 17983v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ultrasound tongue contour segmentation remains challenging under cross-dataset domain shift, where limited annotations, probe variability, and acquisition noise often degrade model generalization.
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.
arXiv:2607. 07401v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While whole-body multimodal medical imaging scanners have been increasingly recognized for more effective medical applications, the excessive long acquisition time in PET-MR scanning is a major obstacle in more efficient clinical practice.
Inferring contrast enhancement from one pre-contrast breast MRI slice is underdetermined: post-contrast appearance contains physiological information that is not uniquely encoded in baseline anatomy. Optimizing only paired pixel fidelity can suppress uncertain lesion enhancement, whereas adversarial or stochastic generative objectives can favor realistic post-contrast appearance without guaranteeing patient-specific lesion fidelity.
arXiv:2606. 30951v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Micro-ultrasound ($\mu$US) is a new, emerging, and promising imaging modality for prostate cancer (PCa) detection, but accurate identification of suspicious tissue remains highly dependent on clinical experience, leading to substantial inter-observer variability.
arXiv:2603. 04024v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ambiguous 3D medical image segmentation often involves boundaries where different expert delineations are non-identical yet clinically plausible.
