arXiv:2608. 14763v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Assessment of ventriculomegaly (VM) on fetal brain ultrasound relies primarily on measuring lateral ventricular atrial width on standard planes, which is operator-dependent and may not fully reflect the overall ventricular enlargement.

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.

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.

NeoTriFuse is a reliability‑aware multimodal fusion framework designed to predict neonatal mortality risk from bedside monitoring data that suffers from extreme class imbalance, heterogeneous risk factors, multi‑scale temporal dynamics, and significant missingness. The method treats missing data as an explicit reliability signal, dynamically adjusting modality contributions during fusion through gating mechanisms that incorporate static perinatal variables, local‑global temporal encoders, and patient‑level statistical summaries. NeoTriFuse achieves competitive performance (F1 ≈ 0.674, AUROC ≈ 0.945) and ablation studies show that its temporal architecture and patient‑level summary branch are key contributors, with reliability‑aware gating further improving threshold‑dependent metrics under heterogeneous observation completeness.
