MKG-CARE: Case-Aware Reasoning with Multimodal Knowledge Graphs for Explainable Medical Image Diagnosis

arXiv:2605. 22547v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical image diagnosis has achieved significant progress with deep learning, yet existing methods often rely on isolated visual evidence and lack the ability to effectively leverage similar cases and external knowledge.

End-to-End Cell Detection via Instance-aware Graph Modeling

The paper introduces an end‑to‑end framework for detecting and classifying cells in pathology images by jointly modeling visual features and instance‑level interactions. It employs a dynamic graph construction module that builds cell graphs from learnable queries and an instance‑aware graph network that filters and reorganizes features, integrating appearance and relational evidence. Experiments on multiple staining protocols show the method surpasses existing approaches in both detection and classification accuracy.

Interpretable Retinal Disease Prediction Using Biology-Informed Heterogeneous Graph Representations

The paper introduces a biology-informed heterogeneous graph representation that models retinal vessel segments, intercapillary areas, and the foveal avascular zone to predict diabetic retinopathy stages from OCTA images. This graph-based approach reframes staging as a graph-level classification task solved with a graph neural network, achieving AUC-ROC values up to 84% and outperforming biomarker-based classifiers, CNNs, and vision transformers. The method also provides detailed, interpretable explanations by precisely localizing abnormal vessels and non-perfusion areas.

Graph-Augmented Topological Internalization with Dual-Stream Classifiers for Medical Report Generation

The paper introduces GDMRG, a Graph-Augmented Dual-Stream Medical Report Generation framework that incorporates a Topological Knowledge Internalization module using a Graph Convolutional Network to encode disease co-occurrence priors. It employs a dual-stream classifier—one branch generating diagnostic prompts under topological constraints and an auxiliary branch dynamically calibrating decision boundaries for imbalanced samples—alongside a Diagnosis-Guided Spatial Attention mechanism to align visual features with clinical semantics. Experiments on MIMIC-CXR show competitive clinical efficacy and natural language fluency, with strong zero-shot performance on IU X-Ray.
