The paper introduces a dual‑input, multi‑task learning framework that jointly segments and classifies bone tumors by applying bidirectional cross‑modal attention between a lesion crop and the full radiograph. Using a YOLO‑based detector and a dual‑stream DenseNet121 architecture, the model fuses fine‑grained lesion detail with global anatomical context through a novel cross‑modal attention fusion strategy and hierarchical multi‑scale feature fusion. On the multi‑institutional Bone Tumor X‑ray Radiograph Dataset, the approach outperforms single‑input baselines, achieving a Dice coefficient of 0.896 and a macro‑averaged F1‑score of 0.928, with an AUC of 0.999 for malignant osteosarcoma.

The paper introduces an attention‑guided fusion framework that combines global and lesion‑focused local information for image classification. Using a three‑branch architecture built on DenseNet‑121, the model generates attention maps with Grad‑CAM, refines local features with CBAM, and adaptively fuses the two representations. Experiments on synthetic and real datasets, including skin, guava leaf, and grape leaf images, show that the fusion branch outperforms individual branches, achieving up to 97.75% accuracy on skin lesions and 99.64% on guava leaves.
The study evaluates four deep‑learning segmentation architectures—Unet, PSPNet, Linknet, and FPN—paired with six pre‑trained encoders to predict COVID‑19 lesions in CT images. Experiments on three COVID‑19 CT datasets show high accuracy, achieving a maximum binary F1‑score of 98% and multi‑class F1‑scores of 75% and 77%. The work aims to provide a standardized performance benchmark for medical image segmentation and a reference for other imaging scenarios.
