An off-the-shelf model for unsupervised domain adaptation (OSUDA) can be vulnerable to backdoor attacks due to the inability to access or control source domain data, but a proposed method quantifies backdoor sensitivity using a Lipschitz constant and eliminates the infection by overwriting backdoor-related channel kernels, validated on a multi-center cardiac dataset.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging with tagging (tMRI) has long been utilized for quantifying tissue motion and strain during deformation. However, a phenomenon known as tag fading, a gradual decrease in tag visibility over time, often complicates post-processing.

The Stochastic Confidence Network (SCN) is a novel deep learning model designed to handle outliers in medical imaging, ensuring accurate and robust diagnoses. Experimental results on databases for breast tumors and Alzheimer’s disease demonstrated that SCN significantly improves diagnostic performance by eliminating irrelevant outlier data and resampling outliers into a typical distribution, outperforming state-of-the-art models.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) transfers knowledge from a labeled source domain to unlabeled target domains, addressing the challenge of labeling in new domains. To overcome privacy concerns in cross-center collaborations, we propose a UDA framework using a black-box segmentation model with knowledge distillation and unsupervised entropy minimization, validated on multiple datasets and demonstrating potential in clinical settings.
