Data-Driven Priors for Uncertainty-Aware Risk Prediction of Clinical Deterioration using Multimodal Data

The paper introduces MedCertAIn, a framework that uses data‑driven priors to enhance uncertainty estimation in multimodal clinical models. By integrating cross‑modal similarity and modality‑specific corruptions into neural network priors, the authors improve predictive performance and selective prediction for in‑hospital mortality risk using MIMIC‑IV and MIMIC‑CXR data. The results demonstrate competitive accuracy and notable gains over deterministic and stochastic baselines, underscoring the potential of such priors for reliable, uncertainty‑aware clinical decision support.

WoundAmbit: Bridging State-of-the-Art Semantic Segmentation and Real-World Wound Care

WoundAmbit is a framework that evaluates state‑of‑the‑art deep learning models for wound segmentation, benchmarking general‑purpose vision, medical imaging, and public wound challenge methods under standardized training, augmentation, and cross‑validation. The study finds transformer‑based TransNeXt offers the best generalizability, while all models run at least one image per second on a CPU and show strong interpretability and expert‑approved mask quality. The framework also introduces a reference‑object approach to convert masks into clinically relevant wound size estimates, demonstrating close alignment with expert annotations and integration into a custom telehealth system.

CT-$\Delta$Bench: A Benchmark for Longitudinal 3D Medical Imaging Difference Reporting with Vision-Language Models

CT‑ΔBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate vision‑language models on longitudinal 3D medical imaging difference reporting. It provides patient‑level split data, change‑aware metrics, and physician‑validated references to assess clinically meaningful interval changes between two CT scans. The paper also introduces DeltaMed, a baseline model that directly reasons over paired CT scans, and compares it to an indirect two‑stage approach that first generates single‑timepoint reports before differencing.

Towards Modality-Agnostic Medical Image Anomaly Detection: A Training-Free Manifold Refinement Approach

arXiv:2604. 19191v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying AI-based anomaly detection across diverse clinical imaging settings remains challenging because most existing methods rely on modality-specific architectures, anatomical priors, or extensive retraining, limiting their use as general-purpose screening tools.
