Foundation models such as Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) have transformed natural-image and video segmentation, and recent work has begun adapting them to medical imaging. These adaptations, however, are largely general-purpose models that treat MRI as one modality among many; large-scale, MRI-specific modelling and benchmarking remain limited, even though MRI's low soft-tissue contrast leaves many boundaries effectively invisible on individual slices.

The paper introduces a geometry‑guided sampling operator that directs feature sampling rather than altering convolution kernels in 3D encoder‑decoder networks. By predicting local orientations and bounded step sizes, the operator samples symmetrically around each voxel, generating compact geometric and boundary cues that improve fine‑structure segmentation. Replacing stride‑1 and stride‑2 operations in a 3D U‑Net yields consistent gains on BraTS, MSD Hepatic Vessel, and TDSC‑ABUS datasets, with better boundary metrics and fewer parameters, and the operator can be integrated into other backbones without architectural changes.
arXiv:2608. 10291v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large-scale multi-modal MRI datasets impose substantial storage and I/O costs, limiting the training of 3D generative models on commodity infrastructure.
arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.
VGG16-MCA UNet is a hybrid neural network that combines an ImageNet‑pretrained VGG16 encoder with a decoder enhanced by a Multi‑Channel Attention module, trained using Focal Tversky loss to address class imbalance. The model was evaluated as a 2‑D, FLAIR‑only whole‑tumor segmenter on BraTS 2020 and LGG datasets, achieving a pixel‑level Dice of 95.10 % on BraTS and 88.32 % on LGG in a 5‑fold cross‑validation setting. Inference time is 66.32 ms per 256×256 slice on a single RTX 2060, only slightly slower than a VGG16‑UNet without attention. whyItMatters":"The study provides a reproducible 2‑D FLAIR baseline for whole‑tumor segmentation, demonstrating high Dice scores and detailed reporting of training and evaluation protocols."
