arXiv:2609.09477v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Delineating lung tumours on computed tomography (CT) takes a considerable share of the time spent on radiotherapy planning, and a contour proposed by a...
arXiv:2606.28676v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Predicting distant metastasis from the digital H & E slides of the primary tumor is a critical yet challenging task in computational patholog...
arXiv:2606. 07590v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pathology foundation models are pretrained on large streams of WSI-derived patches, while supervision during data construction is often slide-level, sparse, or heterogeneous.
arXiv:2608.23574v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Each WSI slide contains thousands of candidate tissue patches, while supervision is usually available only at slide level. Existing bag-construction...
The paper introduces TopKSigLIP, a vision‑language model tailored for mammography that tackles two key challenges: high‑resolution imaging and homogeneous radiology reports. It replaces standard CLIP training with a TopK‑Patch module that selects sparse high‑resolution patches likely to contain lesions, and a Sup‑sigmoid loss that uses soft labels from structured data instead of contrastive loss. TopKSigLIP outperforms existing open‑source mammography and general medical VLMs on zero‑shot tasks such as density assessment, BI‑RADS classification, finding subtyping, and cancer prediction, while also providing better lesion localization than Grad‑CAM.
arXiv:2609.00396v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Histopathological whole slide images (WSIs) are central to cancer diagnosis, but their gigapixel scale, tissue heterogeneity, weak slide-level supervis...
arXiv:2608. 13711v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer-aided detection (CADe) systems for colonoscopy promise to reduce clinical miss rates, yet reliable real-world deployment remains elusive.
Background/Objectives: Dermoscopic skin lesion classifiers often lose accuracy under domain shift across imaging devices, illumination, and capture artifacts. We study how data augmentation improves the robustness of a binary malignant-versus-non-malignant classifier, with emphasis on out-of-domain (OOD) generalization.
arXiv:2606. 00092v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Weakly-supervised classification of whole-slide images with attention-based multiple instance learning (ABMIL) on top of foundation features now reaches near-saturation on Camelyon16 slide-level performance, but the corresponding attention maps are an imperfect localization signal: in clinical interpretation, a model that classifies correctly without firing on the actual lesion is hard to trust.
arXiv:2607. 25497v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pathology foundation models are approaching clinical deployment, yet remain vulnerable to systematic non-biological variation across centres.
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.
arXiv:2607. 14984v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Per-subgroup fairness audits of medical image classifiers face a sample-size problem: minority subgroups in held-out test sets have so few samples that the resulting confidence intervals on per-subgroup performance are wider than the bias the audit is meant to detect.
