arXiv:2607. 12075v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background: Deep learning models can classify thyroid nodules on ultrasound, but reliable clinical decision support also requires calibrated probabilities, uncertainty estimation, and selective referral, particularly under dataset shift.
arXiv:2608. 12590v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Thyroid ultrasound diagnosis requires coordinated lesion localization, measurement, risk stratification and reporting, yet most AI systems address these tasks in isolation and provide limited support for clinical review.
arXiv:2608. 07857v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models provide transferable CT representations, but predictions based directly on these embeddings are difficult to interpret.
arXiv:2608. 13939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for assessing thyroid nodules, and the ACR TI-RADS framework standardizes diagnosis through five ultrasound feature categories that are aggregated into five risk levels (TR1-TR5).
TAM-Chain is a multi‑scale thyroid cytology classification framework that uses Absorbing Markov Chains and Shannon Entropy to quantify uncertainty and dynamically decide when to stop processing and refer to a specialist. It processes images at 10×, 20×, and 40× magnifications, achieving a Macro F1 score of 0.9741 on an internal test set with a 0 % false‑negative rate, and maintains a Macro F1 of 0.7026 on an external validation set with severe domain shift. The method outperforms single‑magnification baselines by adaptively adjusting stopping steps and triggering specialist referrals, thereby reducing critical diagnostic errors.

The study evaluates lesion‑guided region‑of‑interest (ROI) deep learning for ovarian ultrasound classification, comparing it to global image, lesion contour, and contour‑based radiomics approaches across two public datasets. Using four deep‑learning architectures, the lesion‑guided ROI strategy achieved the highest accuracy (93.10% on MMOTU and 97.56% on OUD) with an AUC of 0.99, while requiring less annotation effort than contour‑based methods.
arXiv:2608. 28063v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-organ ultrasound classifiers increasingly combine attention, mixture-of-experts routing, uncertainty gating, and evidential deep learning (EDL) objectives to address heterogeneous anatomy and acquisition.

Background: Microvascular invasion (MVI) predicts recurrence and survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but requires postoperative histopathology for diagnosis. We developed and validated a model...

Background: Early prediction of distant metastasis (DM) risk in head and neck cancer (HNC) can enable timely interventions that may improve treatment outcomes. Many current machine learning methods rely on prior knowledge of the region of interest such as tumor segmentations, which require expert knowledge, is time-consuming and introduces user-dependent variability.
