arXiv:2407. 13632v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying deep learning-based imaging tools across various clinical sites poses significant challenges due to inherent domain shifts and regulatory hurdles associated with site-specific fine-tuning.
Deep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have shown strong performance in breast cancer diagnosis, particularly for classification tasks in mammography. However, domain shifts across multi-site datasets remain a challenge, especially when models are applied to unseen domains.

StainPresetNet is a new framework for stain normalization that combines structural preservation with dataset-level color mapping while remaining computationally efficient. It uses pixel-wise normalization guided by preset reference images, allowing multi-directional adaptability without retraining. Experiments on cytopathology and histopathology datasets show that it outperforms conventional methods in color mapping accuracy, improves classifier generalization, and cuts computational overhead by 90% compared to existing deep learning approaches.

GRIN+ is a new machine unlearning framework that targets fast and precise data erasure in imbalanced medical datasets. It separates unlearning‑specific knowledge from general representations by analyzing gradient contributions of forget and retain sets, introduces a class‑adaptive influence scoring to counter gradient dominance, and uses a direction‑constrained update to protect essential clinical knowledge. Benchmarks on skin cancer, brain tumor, and breast ultrasound data show that GRIN+ balances privacy, efficiency, and utility, achieving high diagnostic accuracy and faster runtime than existing methods.
arXiv:2606. 07141v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models trained for clinical disease inference are trained on patient data, which may include sensitive and private information, and data owners may request the removal of their data from a trained model due to privacy or copyright concerns.
arXiv:2607. 03253v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining constitutes the primary entry point in routine diagnostic workflows, computer-aided diagnosis from whole-slide H&E images is of particular clinical relevance.
HERO (Histology Encoder for Robust Representation in Oncology) is a ViT‑G/14 pathology foundation model trained with DINO and iBOT objectives and refined using high‑resolution Gram anchoring on a 500‑million‑tile corpus from about 575,000 clinical whole‑slide images. It demonstrates superior robustness to center, scanner, and stain variation compared to other state‑of‑the‑art foundation models, while maintaining competitive performance on tile‑level classification, segmentation, and gene‑expression prediction. Across 39 slide‑level clinical tasks, HERO ranks first on average and achieves the best average rank across six benchmark frameworks under an equal‑weighted analysis.

EMFE (Efficient Mathematical Feature Extraction) is a lightweight, explainable machine‑learning framework that classifies single red‑blood‑cell images as parasitized or uninfected using five engineered features: Gray World color normalization, adaptive green‑channel thresholding, morphological spot detection, and classical classifiers. On the NIH LHNCBC malaria dataset (27,558 images from 200 patients), a tuned Random Forest achieved 94.6% pooled out‑of‑fold accuracy, 94.3% on a 40‑patient holdout, and outperformed deep‑learning baselines in an accuracy‑efficiency trade‑off. Ablation studies, synthetic perturbations, and explainability analyses identified spot saturation as the dominant discriminative feature and quantified the framework’s failure modes and patient‑level performance.
