ArXi:2603.16679v1 Announce Type: new Medical image retrieval (MIR) is a critical component of computer-aided diagnosis, yet existing systems suffer from three persistent limitations: uniform feature encoding that fails to account for the varying clinical importance of anatomical structures, ambiguous similarity metrics based on coarse classification labels, and an exclusive focus on global image similarity that cannot meet the clinical demand for fine-grained region-specific retrieval.
