Surgical Video Generation From Diffusion to World Models: A Survey

This survey reviews recent advances in surgical video generation, categorizing methods into unconditional, conditional, and world modeling generation. It highlights a shift from creating visually plausible frames to modeling the causal dynamics of surgical scenes, and discusses challenges such as pixel-level fidelity versus clinical plausibility, generalization, physical realism, controllability, and interpretability. The paper also compiles experimental results from public datasets to serve as a quantitative benchmark for the field.

MedVA: An End-to-End Neuro-Symbolic Agentic System for Medical Volume Visualization

MedVA is an end‑to‑end neuro‑symbolic agentic system designed to streamline medical volume visualization. It combines a neuro‑symbolic intent formulation agent that refines natural‑language requests with symbolic reasoning, a multi‑model ROI identification agent that uses pretrained medical segmentation models to locate specified regions, and an objective‑driven visualization optimization agent that evaluates ROI visibility using a volume‑based objective. Extensive evaluations and a formative user study demonstrate the system’s effectiveness and high usability across users with varying expertise.

NV-Reason-CT: 3D Visual Language Model for CT Analysis

NV-Reason-CT is a generative vision‑language model designed for chest and abdominal CT analysis that preserves native 3D visual encoding and incorporates radiologist‑guided reasoning. The system couples a 3D vision transformer with a language model, feeding all visual tokens and their 3D coordinates directly into language decoding to maintain volumetric spatial information. Trained on a curated corpus of about 550,000 multimodal instruction examples, the model supports abnormality classification, report generation, and interactive reasoning, achieving strong performance on CT benchmarks and reducing expert interpretation time by 50%.

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.

OncoVision: Integrating Mammography and Clinical Data through Attention-Driven Multimodal AI for Enhanced Breast Cancer Diagnosis

OncoVision is a privileged‑information training framework that learns from mammography images and clinical data during training but performs inference using only mammographic images. It employs an attention‑based encoder‑decoder to jointly segment masses, calcifications, axillary findings, and breast tissue, and predicts ten structured clinical features such as BI‑RADS. Two late‑fusion strategies (Independent and Dependent) integrate imaging, radiomic, and clinical information to improve diagnostic precision, and a retrospective multi‑reader study showed higher diagnostic confidence, reduced reading time, and segmentation accuracy comparable to or better than radiologists.
