Fusing Spectral Signatures and Activation Clustering for Backdoor Detection in Healthcare Imaging Models: Method, Implementation, and Evaluation
Machine learning models are increasingly deployed in healthcare imaging pipelines for diagnostic support, and training-time attacks against them are a named sector-level concern: healthcare-sector guidance identifies model poisoning and adversarial attacks as threats requiring dedicated defenses, while federal policy directs expanded AI vulnerability-detection tooling to critical infrastructure operators such as rural hospitals. Spectral signature analysis and activation clustering are two established backdoor detection methods routinely evaluated as independent baselines, but their outputs are not ordinarily combined, and reported detection performance on medical imaging benchmarks remai...
