Imaging-anchored multiomics in cardiovascular disease: integrating cardiac imaging, bulk, single-cell, and spatial transcriptomics

Cardiovascular disease arises from interactions between inherited risk, molecular programmes, and tissue-scale remodelling that are observed clinically through imaging. Cardiac MRI (CMR), computed tomography (CT), and echocardiography are integral to routine cardiovascular care, while bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics are providing increasingly detailed molecular characterization of cardiac tissue. Yet, these imaging and molecular data are still analysed in largely separate pipelines. This review examines joint representations that link cardiac imaging phenotypes to transcriptomic and spatially resolved molecular states. An imaging-anchored perspective is adopted in which echocardiography, CMR, and CT define a spatial phenotype of the heart, and bulk, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics provide cell-type- and location-specific molecular context. We define the representation requirements of each modality, compare multimodal fusion strategies, and synthesize integrative pipelines for radiogenomics, spatial alignment, and image-based gene-expression prediction, together with their validation requirements, limitations, and failure modes. Spatial multiomic maps of human myocardium and atherosclerotic plaque, together with single-cell, spatial, and multimodal medical foundation models, are advancing imaging-anchored multiomics; however, cost, scalability, and tissue availability remain substantial barriers to large-scale cardiovascular translation.

Modern Backbones Improve Multi-task DETR for Mammography Classification and Lesion Localization

Joint exam-level prediction and candidate-region localization may improve the usefulness of AI support in mammography. We study this setting using a multi-task DETR framework, where shared representations support both image-level malignancy prediction and lesion localization, and evaluate its performance on OPTIMAM and a biopsy-confirmed SGM1k cohort. Across both datasets, modern backbones consistently outperformed older ResNet-style features, with ConvNeXtV2 and DINOv3 giving the strongest overall results, whereas MambaVision was less competitive. On OPTIMAM, ConvNeXtV2 achieved the best overall performance, reaching 97.96% AUC, 99.89% sensitivity, 25.08% mAP@.5, and 74.38% recall@.25. On SGM1k, DINOv3 gave the strongest overall results, with 90.97% AUC, 86.28% sensitivity, 82.00% specificity, 27.04% mAP@.5, and 77.32% recall@.25. These findings suggest that backbone quality is a critical factor in effective multi-task mammography, with ConvNeXtV2 emerging as a particularly strong and well-matched CNN backbone for mammography in this framework.

JI-ADF: Joint-Individual Learning with Adaptive Decision Fusion for Multimodal Skin Lesion Classification

Skin lesion classification is essential for early dermatological diagnosis, yet many existing computer-aided systems rely primarily on dermoscopic images and underutilize the multimodal evidence routinely available in clinical practice. To address this gap, we propose \textbf{JI-ADF}, a trimodal deep learning framework that integrates dermoscopic images, clinical photographs, and structured patient metadata for clinically grounded skin lesion classification. The proposed architecture combines joint multimodal representation learning with modality-specific auxiliary supervision and an adaptive decision fusion mechanism that dynamically calibrates modality contributions on a per-sample basis. To enhance cross-modal reasoning while preserving modality-specific evidence, we further introduce a multimodal fusion attention (MMFA) module. We evaluate JI-ADF on the large-scale MILK10k benchmark, which reflects real-world clinical acquisition conditions and severe class imbalance. The proposed method demonstrates strong and well-balanced performance across lesion categories, improving sensitivity and Dice score while maintaining high specificity and good calibration. Extensive analyses, including modality ablation, calibration evaluation, and Grad-CAM visualization, further confirm the robustness and clinically meaningful behavior of the model. These results indicate that JI-ADF provides a reliable and practical foundation for multimodal skin lesion classification in real-world clinical settings.

Graph-Theoretic Consistency for Robust and Topology-Aware Semi-Supervised Histopathology Segmentation

Semi-supervised semantic segmentation (SSSS) is vital in computational pathology, where dense annotations are costly and limited. Existing methods often rely on pixel-level consistency, which propagates noisy pseudo-labels and produces fragmented or topologically invalid masks. We propose Topology Graph Consistency (TGC), a framework that integrates graph-theoretic constraints by aligning Laplacian spectra, component counts, and adjacency statistics between prediction graphs and references. This enforces global topology and improves segmentation accuracy. Experiments on GlaS and CRAG demonstrate that TGC achieves state-of-the-art performance under 5-10% supervision and significantly narrows the gap to full supervision.

Towards Robust Natural-Looking Mammography Lesion Synthesis on Ipsilateral Dual-Views Breast Cancer Analysis

In recent years, many mammographic image analysis methods have been introduced for improving cancer classification tasks. Two major issues of mammogram classification tasks are leveraging multi-view mammographic information and class-imbalance handling. In the first problem, many multi-view methods have been released for concatenating features of two or more views for the training and inference stage. Having said that, most multi-view existing methods are not explainable in the meaning of feature fusion, and treat many views equally for diagnosing. Our work aims to propose a simple but novel method for enhancing examined view (main view) by leveraging low-level feature information from the auxiliary view (ipsilateral view) before learning the high-level feature that contains the cancerous features. For the second issue, we also propose a simple but novel malignant mammogram synthesis framework for upsampling minor class samples. Our easy-to-implement and no-training framework has eliminated the current limitation of the CutMix algorithm which is unreliable synthesized images with random pasted patches, hard-contour problems, and domain shift problems. Our results on VinDr-Mammo and CMMD datasets show the effectiveness of our two new frameworks for both multi-view training and synthesizing mammographic images, outperforming the previous conventional methods in our experimental settings.
