arXiv:2606. 13341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a Dual-Domain Equivariant Generative Adversarial Network (DDE-GAN) for multimodal CT-PET image synthesis.
nnFoundation introduces complementary convolutional and transformer-based 3D foundation models for radiology, trained on 2.1 million CT, MRI, and PET volumes from 125 datasets. The models are evaluated on 108 tasks—including segmentation, detection, classification, report generation, and image retrieval—under domain shift, low-data, and low-compute scenarios, consistently outperforming prior 3D foundation models and training from scratch. Performance varies by task type, with convolutional models excelling at spatially localized tasks and transformer models at global semantic reasoning, and dynamic alignment with dataset characteristics further enhances transferability.
This study examined whether augmenting brain tumor MRI datasets with class‑specific DCGAN‑generated images improves classification performance. Using 7,200 scans across four tumor categories, a Swin Transformer classifier trained on real images alone achieved 96% accuracy, identical to the model trained with 500 synthetic images per class. Metrics such as macro F1 and ROC‑AUC showed no improvement, and FID scores indicated substantial distributional differences between real and synthetic images.

arXiv:2607. 19137v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inferring contrast enhancement from one pre-contrast breast MRI slice is underdetermined: post-contrast appearance contains physiological information that is not uniquely encoded in baseline anatomy.
This study presents a clinically relevant framework for evaluating deep neural networks that segment lymphoma lesions in PET/CT images, addressing gaps such as out‑of‑distribution testing and comparison with expert annotators. Using 611 multi‑institutional cases, the authors assess four networks (ResUNet, SegResNet, DynUNet, SwinUNETR) with lesion‑specific metrics, detection criteria, and metabolic‑characteristic‑based thresholds, finding that models perform best on large, intense lesions. The work also demonstrates that network errors mirror those of physicians, highlighting shared challenges with small, faint lesions.
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.
UnCapsTSR is an unsupervised transformer-based GAN framework designed to enhance the spatial resolution of low‑resolution wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) images. It eliminates the need for explicit degradation modeling or paired LR‑HR data by using a Bilateral Total Variation loss to preserve spatial continuity. The authors introduce a new Kvasir Capsule dataset for training, validate generalizability on KID and GIANA datasets, and propose the Endoscopy Quality Metric (EndoQM) as a non‑reference evaluation tool, reporting 40–80% improvement in EndoQM over state‑of‑the‑art unsupervised methods.

This study introduces a computationally efficient convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture enhanced with transfer learning for multi-cancer detection using biomedical images. The proposed lightweight CNN model is designed to reduce computational complexity while maintaining high classification performance, making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments.
arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.
