MIP Candy: A Modular PyTorch Framework for Medical Image Processing

We present APRIL-MedSeg, a YAML-driven modular framework for 2D medical image segmentation. It provides a unified and extensible ecosystem that decomposes segmentation networks into reusable components. Also, the framework integrates a broad spectrum of advanced paradigms, including semi-supervised learning, domain adaptation, knowledge distillation, weakly supervised learning, and text-guided segmentation as well as foundation model support. A registry-based configuration system with inheritance enables flexible and reproducible experiment management, supporting seamless switching across models, datasets, and training strategies. In addition, the framework provides a unified interface for medical datasets, augmentation pipelines, deployment utilities and model ensembling. Overall, APRIL-MedSeg is designed as a general-purpose research and development platform that bridges algorithmic innovation and practical deployment, while also serving as a structured ecosystem for systematically organizing and reproducing advances in medical image segmentation. The code is available at https://github.com/juntaoJianggavin/APRIL-MedSeg under an Apache 2.0 license.

Three-dimensional medical image data and computer-aided decision making, particularly using deep learning, are becoming increasingly important in the medical field. To aid in these developments we introduce PR3DICTR: Platform for Research in 3D Image Classification and sTandardised tRaining. Built using community-standard distributions (PyTorch and MONAI), PR3DICTR provides an open-access, flexible and convenient framework for prediction model development, with an explicit focus on classification using three-dimensional medical image data. By combining modular design principles and standardization, it aims to alleviate developmental burden whilst retaining adjustability. It provides users with a wealth of pre-established functionality, for instance in model architecture design options, hyper-parameter solutions and training methodologies, but still gives users the opportunity and freedom to ``plug in'' their own solutions or modules. PR3DICTR can be applied to any binary or event-based three-dimensional classification task and can work with as little as two lines of code.

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated considerable promise in program generation for small-scale and conventional application development; however, they remain limited when applied to complex, domain-specific tasks such as medical image processing. General-purpose models lack explicit domain knowledge and robust validation mechanisms to ensure correctness, often requiring substantial human intervention to produce reliable processing pipelines. To address these limitations, we propose AutoMedImg, a multi-agent framework for fully automated medical image processing code generation. AutoMedImg orchestrates specialised agents across two phases: a Planning Phase that performs dataset analysis and architecture design with semantic and formal verification, and a Coding Phase that generates modules in parallel with static checking, execution testing, and assembly validation. This multi-stage validation mitigates error propagation throughout generation, while comprehensive auto-context engineering combining domain-specific knowledge bases, shared memory, and validation feedback automates context construction without manual prompting. A cross-project adaptive pipeline synthesis mechanism further accumulates validated pipelines and retrieves proven components for new tasks based on project similarity, enhancing generation efficiency through cross-project learning. Extensive evaluation across six diverse and well-established medical imaging datasets with five backbone LLMs demonstrates that AutoMedImg achieves zero human intervention, with Dice scores of up to 0.90 for segmentation tasks and 99% accuracy for classification.
