BenchX: Benchmarking AI Models for Cancer Detection and Localization with Demographic and Protocol Biases
Qi Chen, Wenxuan Li, Pedro R. A. S. Bassi +14
Artificial intelligence (AI) has achieved remarkable success in medical imaging, but it is widely recognized that these models often perform inconsistently across real-world clinic…
Automated Report-Derived Oncology VQA Benchmark for Evaluating Vision-Language Models on 3D Medical Imaging
Bo Liu, Hanxue Gu, Xiangru Li +6
Evaluating vision-language models (VLMs) on medical images requires benchmarks that are clinically grounded, scalable, and controlled for evaluation confounds. Existing public benc…
Distilling Photon-Counting CT into Routine Chest CT through Clinically Validated Degradation Modeling
Junqi Liu, Xinze Zhou, Wenxuan Li +10
Photon-counting CT (PCCT) provides superior image quality with higher spatial resolution and lower noise compared to conventional energy-integrating CT (EICT), but its limited clin…
Early and Prediagnostic Detection of Pancreatic Cancer from Computed Tomography
Wenxuan Li, Pedro R. A. S. Bassi, Lizhou Wu +34
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the deadliest solid malignancies, is often detected at a late and inoperable stage. Retrospective reviews of prediagnostic CT scans,…
See More, Change Less: Anatomy-Aware Diffusion for Contrast Enhancement
Junqi Liu, Zejun Wu, Pedro R. A. S. Bassi +15
Image enhancement improves visual quality and helps reveal details that are hard to see in the original image. In medical imaging, it can support clinical decision-making, but curr…
Expectation-Maximization as the Engine of Scalable Medical Intelligence
Wenxuan Li, Pedro R. A. S. Bassi, Tianyu Lin +19
Large, high-quality, annotated datasets are the foundation of medical AI research, but constructing even a small, moderate-quality, annotated dataset can take years of effort from…
