• Abstract: Identifying, measuring and reporting lesions accurately and comprehensively from patient CT scans are important yet time-consuming procedures for physicians. Computer-aided lesion/significant-findings detection techniques are at the core of medical imaging, which remain very challenging due to the tremendously large variability of lesion appearance, location and size distributions in 3D imaging. In this work, we propose a novel deep anchor-free one-stage VULD framework that incorporates (1) P3DC operators to recycle the architectural configurations and pre-trained weights from the off-the-shelf 2D networks, especially ones with large capacities to cope with data variance, and (2) a new SPR method to effectively regress the 3D lesion spatial extents by pinpointing their representative key points on lesion surfaces. Experimental validations are first conducted on the public large-scale NIH DeepLesion dataset where our proposed method delivers new state-of-the-art quantitative performance. We also test VULD on our in-house dataset for liver tumor detection. VULD generalizes well in both large-scale and small-sized tumor datasets in CT imaging.

  We introduce lesion-enhanced contrastive learning (LeCL), a novel approach to obtain visual representations driven by abnormalities in 2D axial slices across different locations of the CT scans. We evaluate our approach across three clinical tasks: tumor lesion location, lung disease detection, and patient staging, benchmarking against four state-of-the-art foundation models.

  We propose a novel view-disentangled transformer to enhance the extraction of MRI features for more accurate tumour detection. First, the proposed transformer harvests long-range correlation among different positions in a 3D brain scan. Second, the transformer models a stack of slice features as multiple 2D views and enhance these features view-by-view. Third, we deploy the proposed transformer module in a transformer backbone, which can effectively detect the 2D regions surrounding brain lesions.
