Abstract

This work proposes AnaUS, an anatomy-level self-supervised pretraining framework for ultrasound representation learning.

AnaUS discovers unlabeled anatomical structures with an LP-SAM driven latent prompt engine and combines anatomy disentanglement alignment with core-region prediction for robust ultrasound representation learning.
