Federated Learning Framework for Privacy-Preserving Kidney Stone Detection

The paper proposes a Federated Learning framework that integrates an optimized YOLOv8 network for detecting kidney stones in CT images while preserving patient privacy. By enabling multiple medical institutions to collaboratively train a shared model without exchanging patient data, the approach complies with GDPR and HIPAA regulations. Experiments on a distributed CT dataset show a 0.733 mAP@50 and demonstrate fast, real‑time inference suitable for clinical deployment.

Color Fundus Photography Analysis: Co-evolution of Data, Preprocessing, and Modeling toward Multimodal AI

Color Fundus Photography (CFP) is a primary non-invasive imaging modality for large-scale screening of ophthalmic and systemic diseases. Existing surveys mainly summarize task-specific algorithms, datasets, or preprocessing techniques independently, lacking a unified perspective on their co-evolution with modern artificial intelligence.

CoM$^3$eT: A foundation model for medical image analysis through federated, multidimensional context integration

arXiv:2608. 16268v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical foundation models improve generalization when training AI models with limited labeled data, but remain confined to a single specialty, such as pathology or radiology, and to either sparse or dense outputs, such as classification or segmentation.

Federated Learning for Surgical Vision in Appendicitis Classification: Results of the FedSurg EndoVis 2024 Challenge

The FedSurg Challenge is the first international effort to evaluate Federated Learning (FL) for surgical vision, using a multi‑center dataset of laparoscopic appendectomies. Three participant models were tested for generalization to an unseen clinical center and for center‑specific adaptation, compared against centralized, Swarm Learning, and parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning baselines. The study found that temporal modeling most consistently improves generalization, but overall performance remains low (26.31% F1‑score on the unseen center), highlighting the need for structured personalized FL and revealing limitations of current approaches.
