arXiv:2607. 26829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many high-performing volumetric segmentation models maintain dense multi-scale feature maps, leading to high activation memory and inference cost.

arXiv:2606. 29102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Jointly learning to segment and classify medical images demands cross-task synergy, yet encoder-sharing architectures limit decoder reconstruction to task-private representations, permanently discarding the boundary cues and semantic priors each branch could supply to the other.

arXiv:2607. 03103v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clinical cardiac imaging pipelines currently deploy separate models for each dataset and modality, incurring redundant training costs and precluding knowledge sharing across anatomically related tasks.

arXiv:2607. 22749v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tracking residual tumor after surgery is essential for catching recurrence early, but automating post-operative glioma segmentation remains a difficult task.

arXiv:2603. 04795v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical image analysis depends on accurate segmentation and controllable synthesis, but both tasks face severe spatial imbalance: lesions occupy small regions against large backgrounds.

RECIST diameter measurements are widely used for tumor response assessment, but they provide only a limited 2D description of lesion extent. We present LETT-NeXt, a lightweight RECIST-guided model that predicts 3D lesion masks from CT volumes and RECIST markers for the CVPR 2026 Foundation Models for Pan-cancer Segmentation in CT Images competition.

arXiv:2606. 04365v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiology reports describe kidney lesions by type, size, enhancement, and attenuation, yet existing 3D methods predict only at the patient or organ level.

Foundation models such as Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) have transformed natural-image and video segmentation, and recent work has begun adapting them to medical imaging. These adaptations, however, are largely general-purpose models that treat MRI as one modality among many; large-scale, MRI-specific modelling and benchmarking remain limited, even though MRI's low soft-tissue contrast leaves many boundaries effectively invisible on individual slices.
Current evaluation protocols for Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in Radiology Report Generation (RRG) rely on report-level metrics that measure lexical overlap or aggregate clinical correctness. However, such metrics do not test whether individual diagnostic statements stem from the actual pathological evidence visible in the image.
