contents This work introduces Federated Adaptive Gain via Dual Signal Trust (FedAgain), a novel federated learning algorithm designed to enhance anomaly detection in medical imaging under decentralized and heterogeneous conditions. Focusing on the task of kidney stone classification, FedAgain addresses the common challenge of corrupted or low-quality client data in real-world clinical environments by implementing a dual-signal trust mechanism based on reconstruction error and model divergence. This mechanism enables the central server to dynamically down-weight updates from untrustworthy clients without accessing their raw data, thereby preserving both model integrity and data privacy. FedAgain employs deep convolutional autoencoders trained in two diverse kidney stone datasets and is evaluated in 16 types of endoscopy-specific corruption at five severity levels. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FedAgain effectively suppresses "expert forger" clients, enhances robustness to image corruptions, and offers a privacy-preserving solution for collaborative medical anomaly detection. Compared to traditional FedAvg, FedAgain achieves clear improvements in all 16 types of corruption, with precision gains of up to +14.49\% and F1 score improvements of up to +10.20\%, highlighting its robustness and effectiveness in challenging imaging scenarios.
