SCINTILLA-SNN: A Spiking Multi-Scale Selective Aggregation Network for Perineural Invasion Prediction

SCINTILLA‑SNN is a 3D spiking neural network designed to predict perineural invasion (PNI) in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) from MRI scans. It uses a four‑stage hierarchical backbone and a Multi‑Scale Spike Aggregation module to focus on sparse, localized PNI cues while reducing computational load. In a 10‑year retrospective study of 182 patients, the model achieved an AUROC of 0.748 and cut inference energy by over 23× compared to dense MAC‑only approaches.

Towards Accurate and Lightweight Peripheral Neuroblastic Tumor Diagnosis via Contrastive Multi-scale Pathological Image Analysis

The paper introduces CoPath, a lightweight framework for diagnosing peripheral neuroblastic tumors (pNTs) from whole-slide images. CoPath combines CoHisNet, a multi‑scale feature‑fusion network that replaces traditional MLPs with Kolmogorov‑Arnold Network layers for efficient nonlinear modeling, and PathVote, which aggregates patch‑level predictions using pathology‑informed priors. Experiments on a private pNT cohort and the public BreakHis dataset show that CoPath matches or surpasses existing classifiers while reducing computational complexity.

Synergistic Modality-and-Slice Memory Framework for Cross-Modal 3D Brain Tumor Segmentation

The paper introduces MSM‑Seg, a dual‑memory segmentation framework for 3D multi‑modal brain tumor segmentation. It combines a modality‑and‑slice memory attention module to capture cross‑modal and spatial‑slice dependencies, a multi‑scale category‑agnostic prompt encoder for whole‑tumor guidance, and a modality‑adaptive fusion decoder to integrate complementary decoding information. Experiments on various MRI datasets show that MSM‑Seg surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods for metastases and glioma tumor segmentation.

Scale-Aware 3D Deep Learning for Robust Brain Metastasis Detection in Multimodal MRI

The paper presents a scale‑aware 3D deep‑learning framework for detecting brain metastases in multimodal MRI. It trains separate 3D U‑Nets on two spatial fields of view (96³ and 64³ voxels) and fuses their probability maps via weighted late fusion. On a 97‑patient cohort, this cross‑FOV fusion improved lesion‑level precision and F1 while markedly reducing false positives compared to individual models, demonstrating that complementary spatial context enhances detection performance.
