• Abstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system, characterized by the appearance of focal lesions in the white and gray matter that topographically correlate with an individual patient's neurological symptoms and signs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides detailed in-vivo structural information, permitting the quantification and categorization of MS lesions that critically inform disease management. Traditionally, MS lesions have been manually annotated on 2D MRI slices, a process that is inefficient and prone to inter-/intra-observer errors. Recently, automated statistical imaging analysis techniques have been proposed to extract and segment MS lesions based on MRI voxel intensity. However, their effectiveness is limited by the heterogeneity of both MRI data acquisition techniques and the appearance of MS lesions. By learning complex lesion representations directly from images, deep learning techniques have achieved remarkable breakthroughs in the MS lesion segmentation task. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art automatic statistical and deep-learning MS segmentation methods and discuss current and future clinical applications. Further, we review technical strategies, such as domain adaptation, to enhance MS lesion segmentation in real-world clinical settings.

  Deep learning models have shown promise for automatically segmenting MS lesions, but the scarcity of accurately annotated data hinders progress in this area. We introduce a Decoupled Hard Label Correction (DHLC) strategy that considers the imbalanced distribution and fuzzy boundaries of MS lesions. We also introduce a Centrally Enhanced Label Correction (CELC) strategy, which leverages the aggregated central model as a correction teacher for all sites.

  We propose a one-stage detection framework termed SpineOne to simultaneously localize and classify degenerative discs and vertebrae from MRI slices. SpineOne is built upon the following three key techniques: 1) a new design of the keypoint heatmap to facilitate simultaneous keypoint localization and classification; 2) the use of attention modules to better differentiate the representations between discs and vertebrae; and 3) a novel gradient-guided objective association mechanism to associate multiple learning objectives at the later training stage.
