NeuroTS-Net: Multi-Class Semantic Segmentation of Pediatric Brain Tumors in Multi-Modal MRI

NeuroTS-Net is a 3‑D encoder‑decoder CNN designed for multi‑class semantic segmentation of pediatric brain tumors in multi‑modal MRI. It uses a dual‑scale raw‑detail stream, adaptive low‑resolution context selection, and detail‑preserving multipath downsampling to maintain fine intensity and boundary information while modeling broader tumor context. Trained on the BraTS 2026 pediatric dataset, it outperformed nnU‑Net and MedNeXt, achieving Dice scores of 0.938/0.937 on internal validation and 0.927/0.926 on the official challenge set.

Lightweight Vision Transformer-Based U-Net for Brain Tumor Segmentation from MRI

The paper introduces a lightweight Vision Transformer‑based U‑Net for brain tumor segmentation from MRI, combining U‑Net’s hierarchical feature extraction with a compact ViT bottleneck to capture both local and global context. With only 2.6 million trainable parameters, the model achieves a mean Intersection over Union of 0.8100 and a Dice score of 0.8446 on the TCGA LGG dataset, surpassing the baseline U‑Net by 3.75% and 3.15% respectively. Extensive quantitative and qualitative analyses, including confusion matrices, precision‑recall curves, and tumor size dependency studies, demonstrate the method’s effectiveness and robustness.

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.

Pixel Wised Lesion Prediction on COVID-19 CT Imagery: A Comparative Analysis of Automated Image Segmentation Architectures

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.
