arXiv:2510. 15042v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the 3D medical image domain, vision-language pre-training is used to create vision-language encoders (VLEs) that can support radiologists by retrieving patients with similar abnormalities, predicting likelihoods of abnormality, or, with downstream adaptation, generating radiological reports.

arXiv:2606. 16868v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While federated learning (FL) enables collaborative medical image segmentation without centralizing sensitive data, real-world deployment is frequently complicated by cross-site label imperfections such as contour disagreement, missing or additional structures, and confused labels.

arXiv:2605. 23995v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) is increasingly used in medical image analysis to reduce dependence on costly expert annotations by learning transferable representations from unlabeled data.

Cross-domain Few-shot Segmentation (CD-FSS) aims to transfer knowledge learned from source domain to distinct target domains, segmenting unseen target classes with only a few annotated samples. Although existing methods have made significant progress, they still rely on training or fine-tuning processes, which incur high computational costs and risk overfitting.
arXiv:2608. 13690v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image segmentation is still largely treated as a vision-only problem, although clinical interpretation often relies on textual knowledge of anatomy, location, appearance, and surrounding context.
