Foundation Models vs. Radiomics for Lung Computed Tomography: A Benchmark of Feature Extractors, Classification Heads, and Segmentation Choices

arXiv:2607. 01001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiomics is the established approach for CT-based lung cancer phenotyping, yet comparisons with foundation models rarely isolate contributions of feature extractor, classification head, and segmentation choice, or test cross-cohort robustness.

Prompt-Guided Interactive Segmentation of Interstitial Lung Disease in Thoracic CT

The paper introduces the first adaptation of the MedSAM2 foundation model for interactive 3D segmentation of interstitial lung disease (ILD) on thoracic CT scans. It evaluates three fine‑tuning strategies and four prompt types—bounding‑boxes, points, lassos, and scribbles—finding that full model fine‑tuning yields the best performance, improving Dice scores by 4.7 percentage points over the baseline. A proof‑of‑concept workflow is presented where MedSAM2 is first initialized with an automatic prior and then refined by radiologist prompts, with all resources released on GitHub.

A Comprehensive Comparison of Deep Learning Architectures for COVID-19 Classification on CT & X-ray Imagery

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.
