arXiv:2608. 11472v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal malignancies; risk stratification of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) offers a crucial opportunity for early intervention but typically requires invasive tissue biopsy.
arXiv:2607. 01001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiomics is the established approach for CT-based lung cancer phenotyping, yet comparisons with foundation models rarely isolate contributions of feature extractor, classification head, and segmentation choice, or test cross-cohort robustness.
We describe the DS@GT submissions to the ImageCLEFmedical Caption 2026 challenge, which continues a long-running benchmark on the ROCOv2 dataset with two tracks: Concept Detection (Task 1), assigning UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs) to radiology images, and Caption Prediction (Task 2), generating natural-language captions. For Task 1, our primary submission was a three-way late-fusion ensemble of ConvNeXt-V2, BiomedCLIP ViT-B/16, and DenseNet-169 with a regularized ''Honest Threshold Tuning'' procedure designed to avoid validation overfitting on rare concepts; this submission ranked first on the official submission with a primary $F_1$ of $0.
arXiv:2607. 04478v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated chest X-ray classification remains challenging due to severe class imbalance, co-occurring pathologies, and the loss of localized features in conventional architectures.

arXiv:2606. 06983v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational pathology requires visual representations that transfer across diverse clinical endpoints and remain robust to variation in magnification, staining, scanner type, slide preparation, and input resolution.
arXiv:2512. 08216v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate segmentation of lung tumors from 3D computed tomography (CT) scans is essential for automated treatment planning and response assessment.
arXiv:2606. 17115v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models (FMs) have emerged as powerful representation extractors for medical data, yet their generalizability to datasets under distribution shift remains underexplored.
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).
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:2607. 02185v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning has achieved remarkable performance in medical image segmentation, yet it suffers from critical limitations: mathematical intractability, substantial parameter requirements, and lack of clinical interpretability.
arXiv:2602. 04819v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate risk stratification of precancerous polyps during routine colonoscopy screening is a key strategy to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC).
arXiv:2607. 13826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate determination of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) resectability relies on evaluating how the tumor interacts with major peripancreatic vessels on CT imaging, yet expert assessment often shows substantial variability.
