arXiv:2608. 07749v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning enables the adaptation of vision foundation models to biomedical tasks under limited computational resources, but a single low-rank update can constrain all task-specific changes to one narrow parameter subspace.
arXiv:2607. 24453v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning from minimal human supervision is a long-standing goal in medical image analysis, where dense expert annotations are costly.
The paper introduces an unsupervised domain adaptation framework that aligns redundancy-reducing features to enable accurate 3D segmentation of cone-beam CT (CBCT) without target-domain annotations or inference-time adaptation. The method is architecture-agnostic, working with both CNN-based and ViT-based foundation models, and is evaluated on two liver segmentation benchmarks for interventional vascular procedures and radiation therapy. Results show that even large pretrained segmentation networks need explicit feature-space bridging to generalize across diagnostic CT and CBCT, and the proposed approach consistently outperforms existing pretrained foundation models and UDA strategies.
The growing number of medical vision foundation models highlights the need for effective model selection. However, mainstream selection methods rely on exhaustive fine-tuning, which is computationally expensive.
OptiModNet is a lightweight UNet‑Transformer hybrid designed for optic disc and cup segmentation. It incorporates grouped‑query and channel attention across multiple stages, along with an Aggregated Pyramid Loss to improve gradient flow and structural consistency. Evaluated on the REFUGE2 dataset, it surpasses existing methods by over 2.5 % while using only 3.73 GFLOPs and 1.93 M parameters.
