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.

LiFUSE: Frequency-Spatial Unified Self-Supervised Pretraining for Liver Disease Analysis on Non-contrast CT

LiFUSE introduces a unified frequency‑spatial self‑supervised pretraining framework for liver disease analysis on non‑contrast CT scans. The method employs a frequency branch that uses random band‑stop masking and spectrum reconstruction, and a spatial branch that performs hybrid‑granularity masked volumetric reconstruction, with a cross‑domain consistency scheme to fuse the two branches. Experiments on three clinical tasks and a public transfer setting demonstrate that LiFUSE consistently outperforms strong baselines, indicating its potential to enhance liver disease screening using low‑contrast NCCT images.

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

The paper introduces DINO-Med, a patch‑based framework that adapts natural‑image foundation models to multi‑modal medical imaging, specifically for liver fibrosis staging. It processes raw multimodal scans through training‑free registration, automated localization, and mask‑filtered patch extraction, then aggregates patch‑level insights into subject‑level diagnostics. Using the CARE 2025 Liver Track 4 cohort, the DINOv3‑based approach achieved the highest classification accuracy (78.4% for mild fibrosis and 75.8% for cirrhosis) compared to other feature representations.
