DualMiT-Net: Local-Global Transformer-Convolutional Fusion for Breast Mass Segmentation in Mammographic Regions of Interest

arXiv:2608. 15019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast mass segmentation is an important step in computer-aided mammography, but it remains difficult because masses can have low contrast, irregular shapes, and boundaries that blend with surrounding breast tissue.

BiLoG-Net: A Bi-Context Location-Guided Network for Breast Mass Segmentation and Malignancy Classification in Mammography

arXiv:2607. 10188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among women worldwide, yet accurate detection and characterization of breast masses in mammography remain challenging due to subtle intensity variations, heterogeneous tissue densities, and indistinct lesion boundaries that complicate radiological interpretation.

M3D-Net: Hierarchical Coordination of Spatial Context, Feature Reuse, and Differential Attention for Mammography Classification

M3D‑Net is a mammography encoder that hierarchically coordinates multi‑scale coordinate attention, bounded dynamic feature reuse, and differential attention through resolution‑aware operator placement. It preserves earlier features within stages, integrates local and global context via coordinate‑aware aggregation, and applies differential attention at coarse resolutions. In image‑only classification on AISSLab mammography and an adapted image‑clinical model on BrEaST ultrasound, M3D‑Net achieves the highest validation accuracy and lowest endpoint cross‑entropy loss compared to EdgeNeXt, RepViT, and TransXNet, with accuracies of 97.78% and 80.39% respectively.

OncoVision: Integrating Mammography and Clinical Data through Attention-Driven Multimodal AI for Enhanced Breast Cancer Diagnosis

OncoVision is a privileged‑information training framework that learns from mammography images and clinical data during training but performs inference using only mammographic images. It employs an attention‑based encoder‑decoder to jointly segment masses, calcifications, axillary findings, and breast tissue, and predicts ten structured clinical features such as BI‑RADS. Two late‑fusion strategies (Independent and Dependent) integrate imaging, radiomic, and clinical information to improve diagnostic precision, and a retrospective multi‑reader study showed higher diagnostic confidence, reduced reading time, and segmentation accuracy comparable to or better than radiologists.

MagViT: Interpretable Multi-Magnification Transformers with Patient-Level Model Selection for Breast Histopathology

MagViT is an interpretable multi‑magnification transformer that classifies breast histopathology images by extracting representations from four BreakHis magnifications (40X, 100X, 200X, 400X) and fusing them with a learnable, scale‑gated mechanism that can mask missing scales. The model selects the most accurate architectural branch at the patient level using five‑fold cross‑validation, achieving high performance on BreakHis (mean image accuracy 0.9191, patient accuracy 0.9643, macro‑F1 0.9042) and demonstrating preliminary cross‑dataset generalization on BUSI and IDC. Grad‑CAM visualizations confirm that the network focuses on diagnostically relevant regions across magnifications.

Token-Based Dual-view Fusion and Adaptation of Large Vision Models for Breast Cancer Classification

arXiv:2607. 06309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate breast cancer classification from mammography requires effective integration of complementary information from craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views, which provide a more complete characterization of breast abnormalities.

A Lightweight CNN Integrated Compact Convolutional Transformer for Multi-Scale Feature Learning and reducing computational complexity for breast cancer mammography image detection and classification

The paper presents a lightweight CNN‑integrated Compact Convolutional Transformer (CCT) designed for multi‑scale feature learning in breast cancer mammography. With only 250,435 parameters, the model achieved 99‑100% accuracy across three datasets using 5‑fold cross‑validation, demonstrating robust generalization. Explainable AI components were added to clarify the classification process, aiming to increase clinical trust in resource‑constrained settings.

Token-Based Dual-view Fusion and Adaptation of Large Vision Models for Breast Cancer Classification

Accurate breast cancer classification from mammography requires effective integration of complementary information from craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views, which provide a more complete characterization of breast abnormalities. However, existing multi-view learning approaches typically rely on feature-level aggregation or single-stage cross-attention, which can entangle view-specific and shared representations and restrict interaction to limited network depths.
