arXiv:2607. 02185v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning has achieved remarkable performance in medical image segmentation, yet it suffers from critical limitations: mathematical intractability, substantial parameter requirements, and lack of clinical interpretability.
arXiv:2606. 29102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Jointly learning to segment and classify medical images demands cross-task synergy, yet encoder-sharing architectures limit decoder reconstruction to task-private representations, permanently discarding the boundary cues and semantic priors each branch could supply to the other.
OptiModNet is a lightweight UNet‑Transformer hybrid designed for optic disc and cup segmentation. It incorporates grouped‑query and channel attention across multiple stages, along with an Aggregated Pyramid Loss to improve gradient flow and structural consistency. Evaluated on the REFUGE2 dataset, it surpasses existing methods by over 2.5 % while using only 3.73 GFLOPs and 1.93 M parameters.

arXiv:2603. 11625v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While specialized Medical Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable success in interpreting 2D and 3D medical modalities, their deployment for 3D volumetric data remains constrained by significant computational inefficiencies.
The paper presents a two‑pipeline framework for retinal fundus analysis that combines four‑class disease classification with vessel segmentation. It fine‑tunes eight ImageNet‑pretrained CNNs on the FIVES dataset, applies five gradient‑based explanation methods to assess model interpretability, and benchmarks ten U‑Net variants—including transformer‑based and attention‑enhanced architectures—on the FIVES and DRIVE datasets. The best classification results come from ResNet101 (94.17% accuracy), while the strongest segmentation performance is achieved by Attention U‑Net with a ResNet101V2 backbone, improving DRIVE IoU from 60.80% to 64.83%.
