Patch-Level Glioblastoma Subregion Classification with a Contrastive Learning-Based Encoder

arXiv — cs.CVWednesday, November 26, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A new method for classifying glioblastoma subregions using a contrastive learning-based encoder has been developed, achieving notable performance metrics in the BraTS-Path 2025 Challenge. The model, which fine-tunes a pre-trained Vision Transformer, secured second place with an MCC of 0.6509 and an F1-score of 0.5330 on the final test set.
  • This advancement is significant as it establishes a solid baseline for the application of Vision Transformers in histopathological analysis, potentially leading to more objective and automated diagnostic processes for glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor.
  • The use of Vision Transformers in medical imaging is gaining traction, with various studies demonstrating their effectiveness in differentiating between conditions such as radiation necrosis and tumor progression, as well as in other areas like brain aging and stroke classification. This trend highlights the growing reliance on AI technologies to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient care in neurology.

Knowledge-based learning in Text-RAG and Image-RAG
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
A recent study analyzed the multi-modal approach in the Vision Transformer (EVA-ViT) image encoder combined with LlaMA and ChatGPT large language models (LLMs) to address hallucination issues and enhance disease detection in chest X-ray images. The research utilized the NIH Chest X-ray dataset, comparing image-based and text-based retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods, revealing that text-based RAG effectively mitigates hallucinations while image-based RAG improves prediction confidence.
Temporal-Enhanced Interpretable Multi-Modal Prognosis and Risk Stratification Framework for Diabetic Retinopathy (TIMM-ProRS)
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
A novel deep learning framework named TIMM-ProRS has been introduced to enhance the prognosis and risk stratification of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a condition that threatens the vision of millions worldwide. This framework integrates Vision Transformer, Convolutional Neural Network, and Graph Neural Network technologies, utilizing both retinal images and temporal biomarkers to achieve a high accuracy rate of 97.8% across multiple datasets.
