RAUL: Reference-Assisted Ureteroscopy Localization for Skill Assessment

RAUL is a reference‑assisted reconstruction framework that recovers ureteroscope trajectories from endoscopic video alone, using a high‑quality reference exploration video for each phantom. It achieves a mean translation error of 0.5 mm and increases frame‑wise localization coverage from 50.5 % to 86.1 % compared to standard Structure‑from‑Motion. The reconstructed trajectories reveal significant differences in navigation metrics between high‑ and low‑experience trainees, enabling objective skill assessment without external tracking equipment.

BAT-RM: A Boundary-Aware Transformer with Region-Aware Multi-Directional Mamba for Clinically Deployed Cervical Cancer Radiotherapy Auto-Contouring

arXiv:2607. 11949v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a clinically deployed end-to-end auto-contouring system for cervical cancer radiotherapy planning, anchored by the Boundary-Aware Transformer with Region-Aware Mamba (BAT-RM), a hybrid architecture that integrates Sobel-gated boundary attention, a linear-time, multi-directional Mamba module for long-range context, and a boundary-skeleton-guided fusion gate.
