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 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.

The paper introduces the FAPT-M Dataset, a pathology‑confirmed multimodal collection of 910 breast patients that includes ultrasound images, structured clinical attributes, and diagnostic descriptions. It proposes a clinically guided multimodal framework that fuses DenseNet visual encoding, CLIP‑inspired text encoding, and lightweight clinical encoding, enhanced by clinical‑conditioned adaptive modulation, cross‑modal Transformer fusion, and dual‑path representation learning. The method achieves 77.64% accuracy, 73.38% F1‑score, and 89.74% AUC, outperforming CNN, Transformer, and vision‑language baselines, and demonstrates the value of three‑modality fusion through ablation and class‑balanced studies.
