RAM‑H1200 is a new public benchmark comprising 1,200 hand radiographs from six medical centers, each annotated with whole‑hand bone instance segmentation, pixel‑level bone erosion masks, joint regions of interest, and joint‑level Sharp‑van der Heijde (SvdH) scores for bone erosion and joint space narrowing. The dataset enables unified multi‑level analysis of anatomical structure, localized erosive pathology, and clinically standardized RA severity, filling a gap in existing resources that lack full‑hand coverage and fine‑grained annotations. Initial benchmark results show strong performance in bone segmentation but highlight that bone erosion segmentation remains a significant challenge, underscoring the dataset’s potential to advance quantitative RA analysis.
The paper introduces UniFLM, a unified framework for segmenting and measuring fetal long bones in ultrasound images. It presents the Fetal Limb Bones (FLB) dataset with high‑quality annotations for the humerus, femur, tibia‑fibula, and radius‑ulna. UniFLM employs a Semantic‑Aware Skip Connection, a Positive Sampling strategy, and a Point Regression Mapping module to improve segmentation accuracy and bone length measurement, achieving superior performance over existing models on the FLB dataset.

The paper presents the first systematic evaluation of out‑of‑distribution generalization for congenital heart disease (CHD) segmentation, using the ImageCHD cohort as a held‑out target. It compares several segmentation architectures under different training regimes, showing that in‑distribution performance is a poor predictor of cross‑cohort robustness: nnU‑Net drops from 0.77 to 0.51 Dice, while SwinUNETR maintains higher performance at 0.67 Dice. Limited target‑domain adaptation with only 11 labeled ImageCHD cases boosts all SwinUNETR variants above 0.76 Dice, highlighting the importance of explicit cross‑dataset testing.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) diagnosis and surgical planning often require patient-specific 3D anatomical models, but manual segmentation is labor-intensive, particularly in complex anatomies. Altho...
The paper introduces a dual‑input, multi‑task learning framework that jointly segments and classifies bone tumors by applying bidirectional cross‑modal attention between a lesion crop and the full radiograph. Using a YOLO‑based detector and a dual‑stream DenseNet121 architecture, the model fuses fine‑grained lesion detail with global anatomical context through a novel cross‑modal attention fusion strategy and hierarchical multi‑scale feature fusion. On the multi‑institutional Bone Tumor X‑ray Radiograph Dataset, the approach outperforms single‑input baselines, achieving a Dice coefficient of 0.896 and a macro‑averaged F1‑score of 0.928, with an AUC of 0.999 for malignant osteosarcoma.
Dental caries and endodontic disease are among the most common health conditions worldwide, and intraoral periapical radiographs are central to their detection, treatment planning, and follow-up. Auto...
