The field of medical imaging is experiencing significant advancements in domain adaptation and test-time adaptation. Researchers are developing innovative methods to address the challenges of domain shift, which occurs when models are trained on one dataset but applied to another. Recent studies have focused on improving the performance of models on unseen data, including the development of test-time adaptation techniques that enable models to adapt to new domains without requiring additional training data. Noteworthy papers in this area include SPADE, which integrates histopathology with spatial transcriptomics to guide image representation learning, and FreeDNA, which proposes a training-free mechanism for endowing diffusion-based dense prediction models with domain adaptation capabilities. Another notable work is DC-TTA, which adapts the Segment Anything Model on a per-sample basis by leveraging user interactions as supervision. These advancements have the potential to improve the accuracy and reliability of medical imaging models in real-world applications.
