Ultrasound image classification is essential for computer-aided diagnosis. However, current methods often neglect clinical priors, leading to poor generalization in challenging scenarios and a lack of interpretability that limits clinical adoption. To address these issues, we aim to develop a medical-prior module that can be seamlessly integrated into existing pipelines to enhance both diagnostic performance and interpretability. In this paper, we propose an attribute-guided dual-branch framework for ultrasound classification that introduces domain-agnostic medical attribute priors, improving generalization while offering interpretable evidence. Specifically, a baseline branch follows conventional architectures and predicts image categories via a fully connected classifier. An attribute-guided branch injects domain-agnostic attributes as priors and produces human-interpretable decision cues. Finally, an adaptive decision module fuses the two branches in a data-dependent manner to yield the final prediction. Experiments across diverse ultrasound classification tasks demonstrate that our approach can be integrated into multiple backbones and state-of-the-art methods with low overhead, consistently improving accuracy and interpretability.
