arXiv:2512. 08216v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate segmentation of lung tumors from 3D computed tomography (CT) scans is essential for automated treatment planning and response assessment.
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.
The paper introduces Report Supervision (R‑Super), a framework that uses radiology reports to supervise tumor segmentation models. By incorporating loss functions that align segmentation outputs with report‑derived tumor counts, sizes, and locations, R‑Super improves detection and segmentation performance. Experiments on kidney and pancreatic tumors show up to a 15% increase in F1‑Score and DSC compared to mask‑only training, outperforming methods like CLIP and multi‑task learning.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) diagnosis and surgical planning often require patient-specific 3D anatomical models, but manual segmentation is labor-intensive, particularly in complex anatomies. Altho...
arXiv:2606. 04453v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiomics enables extraction of quantitative imaging biomarkers from medical images and has become an important tool for computer-aided cancer diagnosis.
This study introduces a computationally efficient convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture enhanced with transfer learning for multi-cancer detection using biomedical images. The proposed lightweight CNN model is designed to reduce computational complexity while maintaining high classification performance, making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments.
The paper presents the first systematic evaluation of out‑of‑distribution generalization for congenital heart disease (CHD) segmentation, using the ImageCHD cohort as a held‑out target. It compares several segmentation architectures under different training regimes, showing that in‑distribution performance is a poor predictor of cross‑cohort robustness: nnU‑Net drops from 0.77 to 0.51 Dice, while SwinUNETR maintains higher performance at 0.67 Dice. Limited target‑domain adaptation with only 11 labeled ImageCHD cases boosts all SwinUNETR variants above 0.76 Dice, highlighting the importance of explicit cross‑dataset testing.
The study evaluates four deep‑learning segmentation architectures—Unet, PSPNet, Linknet, and FPN—paired with six pre‑trained encoders to predict COVID‑19 lesions in CT images. Experiments on three COVID‑19 CT datasets show high accuracy, achieving a maximum binary F1‑score of 98% and multi‑class F1‑scores of 75% and 77%. The work aims to provide a standardized performance benchmark for medical image segmentation and a reference for other imaging scenarios.

Background: Early prediction of distant metastasis (DM) risk in head and neck cancer (HNC) can enable timely interventions that may improve treatment outcomes. Many current machine learning methods rely on prior knowledge of the region of interest such as tumor segmentations, which require expert knowledge, is time-consuming and introduces user-dependent variability.
