arXiv:2608. 09182v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate landmark localization in medical images is a fundamental step for quantitative clinical measurement and downstream analysis.
The growing number of medical vision foundation models highlights the need for effective model selection. However, mainstream selection methods rely on exhaustive fine-tuning, which is computationally expensive.
arXiv:2606. 17340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate vision-based navigation in monocular endoscopy is difficult due to limited depth cues, weak tissue texture, non-rigid deformation, and substantial appearance variation across domains, all of which complicate pose estimation, depth prediction, and image-to-anatomy alignment.
arXiv:2607. 23343v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intraoperative 2D/3D registration aligns preoperative CT volumes with intraoperative X-ray or fluoroscopic images and is essential for image-guided interventions.
arXiv:2606. 15837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) frequently fail to generalize to out-of-distribution (OOD) medical images because of variations in scanners and acquisition protocols.
arXiv:2608. 10346v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although advancements in face landmark detection (FLD) methods continue to push performance boundaries, they overlook two major functional limitations: (1) different network parameters need to be trained independently for each ``$N$-point'' benchmark dataset, and (2) a model trained on an ``$N$-point'' dataset reliably outputs only the $N$ landmarks.
Graph-based cardiac segmentation with implicit anatomical correspondences provides topological guarantees and population-level analysis capabilities, but models trained on independent frames of image sequences exhibit temporal discontinuities that affect reliable clinical measurements, particularly in cardiac ultrasound. In this work, we introduce self-supervised temporal regularization as a post-training refinement stage that exploits the temporal coherence in image sequences to enforce consistent cardiac segmentation and motion estimation over time, without requiring per-frame annotations.
arXiv:2606. 15250v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiographic assessment of lower-limb alignment (LLA) is important for predicting joint health and surgical outcomes in total knee arthroplasty.
3D point cloud registration in laparoscopic surgery estimates the transformation between an intraoperative organ reconstructed from video and its preoperative mesh. Because ground-truth transformations are unavailable for real data, supervised networks are trained on synthetic organ pairs.
Medical image classification models are ideally expected to identify diagnostically relevant regions while making predictions, yet standard classification losses rarely provide spatial supervision. Explicit supervision via anatomical shape information, such as segmentation masks of task-relevant anatomy, has been shown to guide the network toward regions relevant to the target prediction.
arXiv:2608. 11288v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Assessing catheter and tube placement on chest X-rays is safety-critical yet tedious and error-prone.
arXiv:2608. 00187v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Correspondence-based statistical shape modeling (SSM) is vital for population-level morphometric analysis, but conventional pipelines assume clean, fully registered surfaces.
arXiv:2606. 28537v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multiview mammography relies on paired craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views to provide complementary projections of a 3D breast volume, enabling precise anomaly localization.
