Development and Evaluation of Ultrasound Image Learning Pipelines for MASLD Risk Stratification

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The study developed deep‑learning pipelines using B‑mode and shear wave elastography (SWE) ultrasound images to stage fibrosis and identify at‑risk metabolic dysfunction‑associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in patients with MASLD. Across 250 examinations, SWE‑based learning consistently outperformed B‑mode learning, achieving higher AUROC scores for fibrosis stages F≥2, F≥3, and F4. End‑to‑end SWE models matched operator‑guided SWE performance for fibrosis staging.

Learning from Complementary Ultrasound Representations for Liver Disease Classification

arXiv:2607. 12062v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Differentiating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using ultrasound remains challenging due to subtle tissue alterations and the limited information available in conventional B-mode imaging.

Ultrasound-Based Prediction of Cirrhosis Decompensation Using Large-Scale Computer Vision Models

The paper introduces an imaging-based method that uses large-scale computer vision models to analyze routine abdominal ultrasound images for predicting cirrhosis decompensation. It extracts predictive features beyond traditional laboratory risk scores, offering a non-invasive, low-cost, and scalable approach for early risk stratification. The framework combines automated ultrasound processing with modern deep learning to identify high-risk patients before clinical deterioration occurs.

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.

Less Contouring, More Accuracy: Lesion-Guided ROI Deep Learning for Ovarian Ultrasound Classification

The study evaluates lesion‑guided region‑of‑interest (ROI) deep learning for ovarian ultrasound classification, comparing it to global image, lesion contour, and contour‑based radiomics approaches across two public datasets. Using four deep‑learning architectures, the lesion‑guided ROI strategy achieved the highest accuracy (93.10% on MMOTU and 97.56% on OUD) with an AUC of 0.99, while requiring less annotation effort than contour‑based methods.

An interpretable deep learning method for early hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis on multiphase CT

The study introduces dLI-RADS, an interpretable AI system that estimates hepatocellular carcinoma probability from multiphase CT images of liver lesions while aligning with LI-RADS imaging concepts. By combining neural network predictions with handcrafted quantitative imaging features and logistic regression, dLI-RADS achieved 80% lesion-level accuracy, outperforming standard LI-RADS (74%) in a multicenter retrospective cohort. The method was validated using bootstrap non‑inferiority tests and external sensitivity comparisons.
