arXiv:2604.21936v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical imaging research is increasingly shifting from controlled benchmark evaluation toward real-world clinical deployment. In such settings, applying analytical methods extends beyond model design to require dataset-aware workflow configuration and provenance tracking. Two requirements therefore become central: \textbf{adaptability}, the ability to configure workflows according to dataset-specific conditions and evolving analytical goals; and \textbf{reproducibility}, the guarantee that all transformations and decisions are explicitly recorded and re-executable. Here, we present an artifact-based agent framework that introduces a semantic layer to augment medical image processing. The framework formalizes intermediate and final outputs through an artifact contract, enabling structured interrogation of workflow state and goal-conditioned assembly of configurations from a modular rule library. Execution is delegated to a workflow executor to preserve deterministic computational graph construction and provenance tracking, while the agent operates locally to comply with most privacy constraints. We evaluate the framework on real-world clinical CT and MRI cohorts, demonstrating adaptive configuration synthesis, deterministic reproducibility across repeated executions, and artifact-grounded semantic querying. These results show that adaptive workflow configuration can be achieved without compromising reproducibility in heterogeneous clinical environments.
