DINO-Med introduces a patch‑based framework that adapts natural‑image foundation models, specifically DINOv3, to multi‑modal medical imaging. The method uses training‑free registration, automated localization, and mask‑filtered patch extraction to aggregate patch‑level features into subject‑level diagnostics. In liver fibrosis staging, DINOv3 outperforms handcrafted radiomics, ResNet, and SAM‑Med2D features, achieving 78.4% accuracy for mild fibrosis (S1) and 75.8% for cirrhosis (S4) on the CARE 2025 cohort.

LiFUSE introduces a unified frequency‑spatial self‑supervised pretraining framework for liver disease analysis on non‑contrast CT scans. The method employs a frequency branch that uses random band‑stop masking and spectrum reconstruction, and a spatial branch that performs hybrid‑granularity masked volumetric reconstruction, with a cross‑domain consistency scheme to fuse the two branches. Experiments on three clinical tasks and a public transfer setting demonstrate that LiFUSE consistently outperforms strong baselines, indicating its potential to enhance liver disease screening using low‑contrast NCCT images.
The paper introduces DINO-Med, a patch‑based framework that adapts natural‑image foundation models to multi‑modal medical imaging, specifically for liver fibrosis staging. It processes raw multimodal scans through training‑free registration, automated localization, and mask‑filtered patch extraction, then aggregates patch‑level insights into subject‑level diagnostics. Using the CARE 2025 Liver Track 4 cohort, the DINOv3‑based approach achieved the highest classification accuracy (78.4% for mild fibrosis and 75.8% for cirrhosis) compared to other feature representations.

The paper introduces an imaging-based method that uses large-scale computer vision models to analyze routine abdominal ultrasound images for predicting cirrhosis decompensation. It extracts predictive features beyond traditional laboratory risk scores, offering a non-invasive, low-cost, and scalable approach for early risk stratification. The framework combines automated ultrasound processing with modern deep learning to identify high-risk patients before clinical deterioration occurs.

arXiv:2607. 14328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In proton therapy planning, respiratory-gated non-contrast CT (NCCT) is commonly used for lesion segmentation; however, accurate delineation remains challenging due to low lesion-to-background contrast.
The study introduces dLI-RADS, an interpretable AI system that estimates hepatocellular carcinoma probability from multiphase CT images of liver lesions while aligning with LI-RADS imaging concepts. By combining neural network predictions with handcrafted quantitative imaging features and logistic regression, dLI-RADS achieved 80% lesion-level accuracy, outperforming standard LI-RADS (74%) in a multicenter retrospective cohort. The method was validated using bootstrap non‑inferiority tests and external sensitivity comparisons.
The paper presents a systematic evaluation of six unsupervised image‑to‑image generative models for virtual Sirius Red staining of mouse liver tissue from routine H&E slides. It benchmarks these models across 54 scaling configurations on a newly released paired H&E‑to‑SR dataset, assessing perceptual, distributional, and task‑specific performance, and further trains the best models into deep ensembles to quantify epistemic uncertainty. The study finds that GAN‑based and diffusion‑based methods differ markedly across these metrics, indicating that reliable virtual staining requires reporting and selecting on all three axes simultaneously.
