Cross-modal triage network: a multimodal deep learning framework for severity-based triage and visual explainability in chest radiographs

The paper introduces the Cross‑Modal Triage Network (CMTN), a multimodal deep‑learning model that fuses a Swin Transformer V2 visual encoder with a PubMedBERT text encoder to perform severity‑based triage, pathology detection, and generate visual explanations for chest radiographs. Trained on 34,639 image‑text pairs from MIMIC‑CXR‑JPG, the CMTN achieves high ordinal agreement with reference labels (QWK = 0.9341) and excellent pathology detection (macro‑AUROC = 0.9970) while operating with 34 ms latency. However, a blinded clinical audit revealed low agreement with expert radiologists (QWK = 0.1399) and only modest spatial‑semantic concordance in heatmaps, underscoring the gap between algorithmic performance and clinical judgment.

Steering Diffusion Models via Class-Contrastive Influence for Few-Shot Medical Classification

arXiv:2607. 12464v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When labeled data are scarce, off-the-shelf diffusion models can augment training sets for few-shot medical image classification, but not all generated samples are equally useful for the downstream task.

Semantic Context-aware mOdality fUsion Transformer (SCOUT): A Context-Aware Multimodal Transformer for Concept-Grounded Pathology Report Generation

SCOUT is a concept‑grounded multimodal transformer that generates whole‑slide pathology reports by integrating local histological patterns, whole‑slide context, and expert‑curated diagnostic concepts. It uses evolving visual representations and recursively updated slide‑ and concept‑conditioned representations, with separate attention pathways during decoding that are fused adaptively for each token. Evaluated on TCGA‑BRCA, HistAI, and REG‑2025, SCOUT outperformed existing methods, improving BLEU, METEOR, and ROUGE‑L scores and raising the Clinical Report Quality Score on REG‑2025.
