This study presents a clinically relevant framework for evaluating deep neural networks that segment lymphoma lesions in PET/CT images, addressing gaps such as out‑of‑distribution testing and comparison with expert annotators. Using 611 multi‑institutional cases, the authors assess four networks (ResUNet, SegResNet, DynUNet, SwinUNETR) with lesion‑specific metrics, detection criteria, and metabolic‑characteristic‑based thresholds, finding that models perform best on large, intense lesions. The work also demonstrates that network errors mirror those of physicians, highlighting shared challenges with small, faint lesions.

The paper presents a two‑pipeline framework for retinal fundus analysis that combines four‑class disease classification with vessel segmentation. It fine‑tunes eight ImageNet‑pretrained CNNs on the FIVES dataset, applies five gradient‑based explanation methods to assess model interpretability, and benchmarks ten U‑Net variants—including transformer‑based and attention‑enhanced architectures—on the FIVES and DRIVE datasets. The best classification results come from ResNet101 (94.17% accuracy), while the strongest segmentation performance is achieved by Attention U‑Net with a ResNet101V2 backbone, improving DRIVE IoU from 60.80% to 64.83%.

The article presents a comparative study of convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures for classifying COVID-19 from healthy lung images using CT and X‑ray scans. Multiple pre‑trained models—including VGG, DenseNet, ResNet, MobileNet, Xception, Inception, EfficientNet, and NasNet—were evaluated on two X‑ray and two CT datasets. ResNet and VGG achieved the highest accuracies, ranging from 95% to 98%, outperforming previous reports in the literature.
