TRUST: Threshold-Recalibrated Uncertainty-Safe Training for Certified Dismissal in Breast Cancer Screening

The paper introduces TRUST, a threshold‑recalibrated training method that dynamically adjusts the dismissal threshold during training to penalize cancer‑positive images near the dismissal region. Evaluated on NLBS and RSNA datasets, TRUST achieved higher case‑level dismissal rates while maintaining 98% and 95% recall, outperforming a cross‑entropy baseline. External validation on RSNA→NLBS data confirmed improved dismissal rates at both recall targets, demonstrating the effectiveness of closed‑loop threshold‑aware training for selective dismissal in breast cancer screening.

CorePath: A Breast-Specialized Pathology Foundation Model for Core Needle Biopsy Diagnosis and Risk-Controlled Report Generation

arXiv:2608. 03079v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast core needle biopsy (CNB) is central to breast cancer diagnosis yet remains challenging because limited tissue sampling, lesion heterogeneity, and subtle morphologic overlap can obscure subtype distinctions.

Longitudinal Risk Prediction in Mammography with Privileged History Distillation

The paper introduces SEM‑HD, a framework that leverages longitudinal mammography history as privileged information during training to improve risk prediction while requiring only a single current exam at inference. By having a student model predict latent representations of past visits and using teacher supervision from actual longitudinal data, SEM‑HD preserves temporal modeling benefits without needing prior exams at deployment. Experiments on three cohorts and two backbone architectures show consistent gains in long‑horizon AUC and pAUC, especially in low false‑positive‑rate regions, and recover much of the performance gap to full‑history models.

SafeRestore: Detector-Relative Risk Certificates for Selective Industrial Image Restoration

SafeRestore introduces a framework for certifying when an industrial image restoration should be automatically returned to a detector or require human review. It ranks five restoration candidates using action‑specific fitted scores, selects a threshold gate on tuning data, and evaluates the gate on a separate certification sample with two one‑sided exact binomial bounds—one for evidence‑loss incidents and one for excess‑activation incidents. In a retrospective study of 4,591 Carinthia‑S images, the protocol demonstrates auditable risk‑coverage behavior, with varying pass rates across different policies and morphologies.
