10.48550/arXiv.2603.21809A framework that transfers hypertension prediction knowledge from expensive MRI scans to low-cost retinal fundus images using a clinical similarity graph, enabling better screening with unpaired data.
Abstract
Retinal fundus imaging enables low-cost and scalable hypertension (HTN) screening, but HTN-related retinal cues are subtle, yielding high-variance predictions. Brain MRI provides stronger vascular and small-vessel-disease markers of HTN, yet it is expensive and rarely acquired alongside fundus images, resulting in modality-siloed datasets with disjoint MRI and fundus cohorts. We study this unpaired MRI-fundus regime and introduce Clinical Graph-Mediated Distillation (CGMD), a framework that transfers MRI-derived HTN knowledge to a fundus model without paired multimodal data. CGMD leverages shared structured biomarkers as a bridge by constructing a clinical similarity kNN graph spanning both cohorts. We train an MRI teacher, propagate its representations over the graph, and impute brain-informed representation targets for fundus patients. A fundus student is then trained with a joint objective combining HTN supervision, target distillation, and relational distillation. Experiments on our newly collected unpaired MRI-fundus-biomarker dataset show that CGMD consistently improves fundus-based HTN prediction over standard distillation and non-graph imputation baselines, with ablations confirming the importance of clinically grounded graph connectivity. Code is available at https://github.com/DillanImans/CGMD-unpaired-distillation.
