PBE-UNet: A light weight Progressive Boundary-Enhanced U-Net with Scale-Aware Aggregation for Ultrasound Image Segmentation

Accurate lesion segmentation in ultrasound images is essential for preventive screening and clinical diagnosis, yet remains challenging due to low contrast, blurry boundaries, and significant scale variations. Although existing deep learning-based methods have achieved remarkable performance, these methods still struggle with scale variations and indistinct tumor boundaries. To address these chall...

ReXSonoVQA: A Video QA Benchmark for Procedure-Centric Ultrasound Understanding

Ultrasound acquisition requires skilled probe manipulation and real-time adjustments. Vision-language models (VLMs) could enable autonomous ultrasound systems, but existing benchmarks evaluate only static images, not dynamic procedural understanding. We introduce ReXSonoVQA, a video QA benchmark with 514 video clips and 514 questions (249 MCQ, 265 free-response) targeting three competencies: Actio...
