• Abstract: The goal of unsupervised anomaly segmentation (UAS) is to detect the pixel-level anomalies unseen during training. It is a promising field in the medical imaging community, e.g, we can use the model trained with only healthy data to segment the lesions of rare diseases. Existing methods are mainly based on Information Bottleneck, whose underlying principle is modeling the distribution of normal anatomy via learning to compress and recover the healthy data with a low-dimensional manifold, and then detecting lesions as the outlier from this learned distribution. However, this dimensionality reduction inevitably damages the localization information, which is especially essential for pixel-level anomaly detection. In this paper, to alleviate this issue, we introduce the semantic space of healthy anatomy in the process of modeling healthy-data distribution. More precisely, we view the couple of segmentation and synthesis as a special Autoencoder, and propose a novel cycle translation framework with a journey of 'image->semantic->image'. Experimental results on the BraTS and ISLES databases show that the proposed approach achieves significantly superior performance compared to several prior methods and segments the anomalies more accurately.

  We introduce a novel Spatial-aware Attention Generative Adrialversa Network (SAGAN) for one-class semi-supervised generation of health images. SAGAN generates high-quality health images corresponding to unlabeled data, guided by the reconstruction of normal images and restoration of pseudo-anomaly images. Extensive experiments on three medical datasets demonstrate that the proposed SAGAN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

  Anomaly detection is the process of identifying atypical data samples that significantly deviate from the majority of the dataset. We propose a new anomaly detection method based on diffusion ODEs by estimating the density of features extracted from medical images.

  Cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Networks have been used to harmonize image sets between a source and target domain.

We propose a segmentation-renormalized image translation framework to reduce inter-scanner harmonization while preserving anatomical layout.
