Recent advances in semi-supervised medical image segmentation have achieved remarkable performance through prediction consistency, pseudo-label supervision, and hard-region supervision. However, these methods primarily improve supervision quality rather than explicitly enforcing semantic consistency in the learned representations of hard regions.

arXiv:2605. 15720v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical referring image segmentation (MRIS) predicts lesion masks from medical images and natural-language referring expressions, but acquiring paired pixel-level annotations and referring texts is costly.
Maternal-fetal US is the primary imaging modality for monitoring fetal development, yet accurate automated segmentation remains challenging due to the scarcity of pixel-level annotations. To address this issue, we propose DACL, a semi-supervised framework for robust fetal US image segmentation.
arXiv:2608. 07340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Registration-based Few-shot medical image segmentation (RFMIS) aims to generate pseudo-labels for unlabeled images by warping a labeled image through registration.

arXiv:2607. 09481v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-guided medical image segmentation leverages clinical semantics to improve lesion delineation, yet many existing models bind cross-modal fusion, supervision, and decoder design into a task-specific architecture.
arXiv:2606. 04705v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic segmentation in medical imaging is a critical yet challenging task due to data scarcity and high variability across modalities.
arXiv:2607. 14116v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Free-form radiology reports contain rich clinical descriptions, yet converting them for reliable segmentation remains challenging due to the inherent variability of natural language.
arXiv:2605. 25402v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-supervised pre-training paradigm has gained increasing prominence for learning transferable representations in medical imaging, yet existing methods for ultrasound (US) images operate at the image or frame level, overlooking the anatomical context for clinical-aligned representation learning.
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: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.
