Preterm birth (PTB) prediction can enable targeted surveillance and timely intervention, yet most ultrasound-based models use a single selected transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) frame per patient despite routine exams acquiring multiple cervical images. We formulate PTB prediction as a multiple instance learning (MIL) problem, representing each patient as a variable-sized bag of TVUS images with a single outcome label.

arXiv:2608. 16268v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical foundation models improve generalization when training AI models with limited labeled data, but remain confined to a single specialty, such as pathology or radiology, and to either sparse or dense outputs, such as classification or segmentation.
The paper introduces a pipeline that uses publicly available whole slide image foundation models (FMs) to automatically triage slides by ranking them based on zero‑shot classification predictions. This approach accurately identifies slides containing the most tumor, achieving top‑2 ranking for patients with up to 43 slides across multiple datasets. The study also proposes a ranked evaluation framework to benchmark FM performance in slide triage.

ProtoCAM is an explainable few‑shot learning framework for classifying breast lesions in ultrasound images. It combines mask‑guided feature encoding, prototypical metric learning, and gradient‑based visual explanations to leverage limited annotated data. Evaluated on the BUSI dataset, ProtoCAM achieved a macro F1‑score of 0.910 in a 3‑way 5‑shot setting, outperforming standard supervised CNNs, with ResNet18 reaching 91.65% under 15‑shot conditions.

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).
The paper presents a two‑stage framework for prenatal congenital heart disease (CHD) screening that operates directly on whole fetal ultrasound studies. It first learns transferable frame representations via self‑supervised masked‑autoencoder pre‑training, then identifies cardiac frames with a disease‑robust module and aggregates them using a transformer‑based multiple instance learning model to produce a case‑level diagnosis. The approach achieves high performance (AUC 0.985, specificity 0.990) on an internal test set and, after label‑free CORAL adaptation, improves to an AUC of 0.944 on an external cohort, outperforming existing baselines.
