The paper introduces TRUST, a threshold‑recalibrated training method that dynamically adjusts the dismissal threshold during training to penalize cancer‑positive images near the dismissal region. Evaluated on NLBS and RSNA datasets, TRUST achieved higher case‑level dismissal rates while maintaining 98% and 95% recall, outperforming a cross‑entropy baseline. External validation on RSNA→NLBS data confirmed improved dismissal rates at both recall targets, demonstrating the effectiveness of closed‑loop threshold‑aware training for selective dismissal in breast cancer screening.
Reducing the review of clearly cancer-negative screening mammograms could lower radiologist workload without compromising cancer detection. We propose a closed-loop threshold-aware training strategy i...

SafeRestore introduces a framework for certifying when an industrial image restoration should be automatically returned to a detector or require human review. It ranks five restoration candidates using action‑specific fitted scores, selects a threshold gate on tuning data, and evaluates the gate on a separate certification sample with two one‑sided exact binomial bounds—one for evidence‑loss incidents and one for excess‑activation incidents. In a retrospective study of 4,591 Carinthia‑S images, the protocol demonstrates auditable risk‑coverage behavior, with varying pass rates across different policies and morphologies.
arXiv:2608. 10505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated radiology report generation is advancing rapidly in response to the shortage of radiologists, yet unlike a perception model, existing generation models offer no control over the sensitivity-specificity trade-off of their diagnostic content.

Automated radiology report generation is advancing rapidly in response to the shortage of radiologists, yet unlike a perception model, existing generation models offer no control over the sensitivity-specificity trade-off of their diagnostic content. Such control is essential because clinical scenarios diverge: emergency triage prioritizes sensitivity to reduce missed findings, whereas confirmatory interpretation emphasizes specificity to limit unnecessary interventions.

arXiv:2606. 15910v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A vision-language model can answer a question about a chest radiograph or a pathology slide fluently and confidently while barely using the image, relying instead on language priors.
In a UK multicentre trial, an unconstrained XGBoost model incorrectly learned that higher tumour stage and carcinoma in situ predicted lower bladder cancer recurrence risk, a finding that conventional metrics such as discrimination, calibration, and SHAP failed to detect. The authors introduced a counterfactual direction test and a monotonic‑constraint framework, which removed the inversion without harming model performance and even outperformed established risk systems. The study demonstrates that such tests should be routine before deploying predictive models in clinical settings.
The study benchmarks active spot selection methods against random sampling for spatial transcriptomics, focusing on cost‑efficient data acquisition. Using two public cohorts, the authors simulate multi‑round selection with uncertainty‑based (MC‑dropout, TOD) and diversity‑based (CoreSet, TypiClust) strategies, evaluating performance at 5%, 10%, 30%, and 50% of the spot pool. Results show that none of the active strategies consistently outperforms random sampling across all budgets or evaluation metrics, with performance varying by dataset and metric.
