Abstract
Chest X-ray (CXR) represents one of the most widely utilized clinical diagnostic tools for thoracic diseases. Nevertheless, computer-aided diagnosis based on chest radiographs still faces considerable challenges in anomaly detection. Certain lesions in CXRs exhibit subtle radiographic characteristics with ambiguous boundaries, low pixel occupancy, and weak contrast. While existing studies primarily focus on improving multi-scale feature fusion, they frequently overlook complications arising from background noise and varied lesion morphology. This study introduces YOLOv11-MFF, an enhanced YOLOv11 network with three key innovations. Specifically, a novel Frequency-Adaptive Hybrid Gate (FAHG) is developed to improve contrast differentiation between lesions and background. A Multi Scale Parallel Large Convolution (MSPLC) block is designed and integrated with the original C3k2 module to…
