BreastMammo and DenseMammo: Benchmarks for Mammography Domain Generalization

arXiv:2608. 10271v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast density classification is a critical component of breast cancer risk assessment, yet AI models often struggle to generalize across clinical sites due to vendor-specific acquisition styles.

Solving the Needle-in-a-Haystack Problem in Mammography Vision-Language Model with Differentiable Subset Sampling

The paper introduces TopKSigLIP, a vision‑language model tailored for mammography that tackles two key challenges: high‑resolution imaging and homogeneous radiology reports. It replaces standard CLIP training with a TopK‑Patch module that selects sparse high‑resolution patches likely to contain lesions, and a Sup‑sigmoid loss that uses soft labels from structured data instead of contrastive loss. TopKSigLIP outperforms existing open‑source mammography and general medical VLMs on zero‑shot tasks such as density assessment, BI‑RADS classification, finding subtyping, and cancer prediction, while also providing better lesion localization than Grad‑CAM.

DINO-Med: A Unified Patch-Based Adaptation Framework for Multi-Modal Medical Image Analysis Applied to Liver Fibrosis Staging

DINO-Med introduces a patch‑based framework that adapts natural‑image foundation models, specifically DINOv3, to multi‑modal medical imaging. The method uses training‑free registration, automated localization, and mask‑filtered patch extraction to aggregate patch‑level features into subject‑level diagnostics. In liver fibrosis staging, DINOv3 outperforms handcrafted radiomics, ResNet, and SAM‑Med2D features, achieving 78.4% accuracy for mild fibrosis (S1) and 75.8% for cirrhosis (S4) on the CARE 2025 cohort.
