arXiv:2605. 25402v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-supervised pre-training paradigm has gained increasing prominence for learning transferable representations in medical imaging, yet existing methods for ultrasound (US) images operate at the image or frame level, overlooking the anatomical context for clinical-aligned representation learning.

The paper presents a 3D foundation model for light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSM) that is pretrained on a large curated set of 3D images from various organisms, stains, and imaging protocols. By jointly optimizing for masked reconstruction and image‑text alignment, the model learns transferable volumetric representations that dramatically reduce the need for annotated data. The pretrained backbone enables efficient few‑shot adaptation to downstream tasks such as segmentation, classification, and deblurring, consistently outperforming baselines according to standard metrics and expert evaluation.

Pix2Rep-v2 is a self‑supervised learning framework that learns pixel‑ and voxel‑level representations for dense medical imaging tasks, using a redundancy‑reduction objective and equivariance principles to scale to 3D and wide field‑of‑view data. The method is evaluated on four datasets across multiple modalities, tasks, and backbones, demonstrating higher data‑efficiency in few‑shot scenarios and competitive performance, such as a +9.3 Dice point improvement in one‑shot segmentation on the M&Ms‑2 dataset. An in‑context dense prototype approach is also proposed, eliminating the need for downstream training.
