BAT-RM: A Boundary-Aware Transformer with Region-Aware Multi-Directional Mamba for Clinically Deployed Cervical Cancer Radiotherapy Auto-Contouring

arXiv:2607. 11949v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a clinically deployed end-to-end auto-contouring system for cervical cancer radiotherapy planning, anchored by the Boundary-Aware Transformer with Region-Aware Mamba (BAT-RM), a hybrid architecture that integrates Sobel-gated boundary attention, a linear-time, multi-directional Mamba module for long-range context, and a boundary-skeleton-guided fusion gate.

Foundation Models vs. Radiomics for Lung Computed Tomography: A Benchmark of Feature Extractors, Classification Heads, and Segmentation Choices

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.

Harrison.Rad 1.5 Technical Report: A radiology foundation model that can draft reports from images, priors and clinical context

arXiv:2607. 05880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Imaging demand is growing faster than the radiology workforce can expand, and reporting backlogs cannot be resolved through training and recruitment alone.

DaX: Learning General Pathology Representations Across Scales

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.

CARE-X: Towards Clinically Useful Radiology VLMs with Auxiliary Supervision, Reward-Aligned Learning, and Tool-Augmented Measurement

arXiv:2608. 03890v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A clinically useful chest X-ray system must go beyond fluent report generation: it should classify findings with tunable decision thresholds, localize them spatially, and derive the anatomical measurements upon which many diagnoses depend.

Dual-domain U-Nets with embedded back projection operators for motion-resolved 4D CBCT reconstruction

arXiv:2608. 03430v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Four-dimensional cone beam CT (4D CBCT) is important for image-guided radiation therapy of thoracic cancers, but its use is limited by long scan times, causing high patient dose and motion/sparse-sampling artifacts.
