Subgroup performance analysis of adaptation strategies for chest X-ray foundation models

The study examines how three parameter‑efficient adaptation methods—linear heads on the raw CLS token, an MLP, and an attention‑pooling module—affect pathology classification accuracy and subgroup fairness when applied to a frozen Rad‑DINO chest X‑ray encoder. Using the MIMIC‑CXR dataset, the authors evaluate eight pathologies across race, sex, and imaging‑view subgroups, finding that attention pooling yields the best overall performance and encodes protected attributes most strongly, yet higher performance does not consistently reduce subgroup disparities. The results show that attribute encoding strength and layer choice do not reliably predict fairness outcomes, indicating that fairness must be assessed directly for each task.

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.
