arXiv:2607.06919v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of micro-ultrasound ($\mu$US) has shown promise for prostate cancer (PCa) detection. However, most existing AI methods focus on the analysis of single $\mu$US images in isolation. By contrast, expert $\mu$US readers typically assess a full recorded video study, which provides three-dimensional context, to improve PCa detection compared to single-frame analysis. Inspired by this clinical workflow, we propose Compass, a novel AI methodology which models a $\mu$US study as a stream of 2D images. Compass jointl
