The paper introduces Dual Co-Train, a source‑free domain adaptation framework for ultrasound tongue segmentation that operates under extreme data scarcity. Starting from a lightweight UltraUNet pretrained on only five labeled images, the method iteratively refines pseudo‑labels, filters unreliable masks with a contour‑based quality‑control module, and generates target‑style synthetic image‑mask pairs via a segmentation‑guided conditional GAN. The student model is trained on a mix of clean pseudo‑labeled target images, noisy pseudo‑labels with consistency regularization, and synthetic samples, enabling closed‑loop adaptation without access to source data. Experiments on 12 source‑target transfer pairs across eight datasets show that this approach improves segmentation overlap and contour accuracy over both unsupervised baselines and supervised models.

The paper introduces ANT, a test‑time adaptation framework that improves prostate cancer detection in micro‑ultrasound by performing a segmentation‑guided adaptation. ANT aligns a pretrained detection encoder to the target domain’s prostate anatomy using pseudo‑masks from a frozen segmentation network, thereby correcting domain‑specific feature drift while preserving cancer‑discriminative features. In a leave‑one‑center‑out evaluation, ANT raises mean AUC by 2.9% at the biopsy‑core level and 3.6% at the patient level compared to no adaptation, outperforming existing TTA baselines.
The paper proposes a two‑stage learning framework for multi‑organ segmentation that handles partially annotated datasets and domain shifts. First, the model learns accurate segmentations from available annotations to build robust feature representations. Second, it introduces learnable organ prototypes and a Sinkhorn‑triplet loss to enforce organ‑wise feature consistency across datasets, keeping embeddings of the same organ close while separating different organs, even when annotations are missing.
arXiv:2605. 25402v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-supervised pre-training paradigm has gained increasing prominence for learning transferable representations in medical imaging, yet existing methods for ultrasound (US) images operate at the image or frame level, overlooking the anatomical context for clinical-aligned representation learning.
The paper introduces LowBridge, a method for cross‑modal medical image segmentation that leverages shared low‑level features such as edges between MRI and CT scans. It trains a generative model to reconstruct source‑modality images from edge maps and then trains a segmentation network on these generated images. At test time, edge features from target‑modality images are fed into the generative model to produce source‑style images, which are segmented by the pretrained network, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on multiple public datasets.
The paper introduces an unsupervised domain adaptation framework that aligns redundancy-reducing features to enable accurate 3D segmentation of cone-beam CT (CBCT) without target-domain annotations or inference-time adaptation. The method is architecture-agnostic, working with both CNN-based and ViT-based foundation models, and is evaluated on two liver segmentation benchmarks for interventional vascular procedures and radiation therapy. Results show that even large pretrained segmentation networks need explicit feature-space bridging to generalize across diagnostic CT and CBCT, and the proposed approach consistently outperforms existing pretrained foundation models and UDA strategies.
