Ultrasound image classification is essential for computer-aided diagnosis. However, current methods often neglect clinical priors, leading to poor generalization in challenging scenarios and a lack of interpretability that limits clinical adoption.
arXiv:2606. 19174v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clinician-centered evaluation is critical for validating medical AI systems, especially in ultrasound imaging where quantitative metrics do not always capture clinical usability.
arXiv:2607. 00744v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prenatal anomaly classification and localization is of critical importance for fetal health and pregnancy management.
arXiv:2608. 04766v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A large number of infants with congenital anomalies are born each year globally, especially in areas with underdeveloped medical resources.
arXiv:2606. 11106v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A global shortage of trained sonographers limits prenatal ultrasound screening in low- and middle-income countries, where over half of pregnant women receive no skilled sonography.
arXiv:2606. 06509v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Numerous medical imaging problems must be solved under limited labels and constrained compute, yet it remains unclear whether performance gains are driven mainly by more expressive models or by better representation of clinically meaningful anatomy.
arXiv:2608. 13939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for assessing thyroid nodules, and the ACR TI-RADS framework standardizes diagnosis through five ultrasound feature categories that are aggregated into five risk levels (TR1-TR5).
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.
arXiv:2607. 17551v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a bedside tool for assessing pulmonary edema in patients at risk due to heart failure or impaired kidney function.
arXiv:2606. 18063v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image classification faces a fundamental dilemma: while deep learning models achieve remarkable performance at scale, real-world clinical scenarios often suffer from severe data scarcity due to annotation costs, privacy constraints, and disease rarity.
arXiv:2606. 15176v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ultrasound imaging is the most widely adopted medical modality globally due to its low cost and portability, yet artificial intelligence (AI) deployment remains constrained by reliance on GPU-accelerated models, creating a structural paradox where the cost of "intelligence" exceeds that of the imaging device itself.
arXiv:2511. 15968v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: External validation of breast ultrasound segmentation models remains limited because internal train--test splits do not capture domain shifts across imaging systems, acquisition protocols, and patient populations.
arXiv:2606. 25009v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ultrasound is a non-invasive, real-time, and cost-effective imaging technique widely used in clinical diagnosis.
