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.

DART: Depth-as-Target Pretraining for Surgical Vision Foundation Models

DART is a new RGB‑D pretraining method for surgical vision foundation models that incorporates pseudo‑labeled depth maps as a pixel‑space reconstruction target during training. By adding a depth reconstruction head to DINOv2’s masked iBOT framework, DART improves representation quality without affecting downstream RGB‑only fine‑tuning or inference. Across eight surgical benchmarks—including segmentation, depth estimation, and image‑level recognition—DART outperforms both natural‑image and in‑domain baselines, demonstrating that geometric pseudo‑labels can strengthen foundation model pretraining without extra labels or inference cost.
