• Abstract: Tumor volume and changes in tumor characteristics over time are important biomarkers for cancer therapy. In this context, FDG-PET/CT scans are routinely used for staging and re-staging of cancer, as the radiolabeled fluorodeoxyglucose is taken up in regions of high metabolism. Unfortunately, these regions with high metabolism are not specific to tumors and can also represent physiological uptake by normal functioning organs, inflammation, or infection, making detailed and reliable tumor segmentation in these scans a demanding task. This gap in research is addressed by the AutoPET challenge, which provides a public data set with FDG-PET/CT scans from 900 patients to encourage further improvement in this field. Our contribution to this challenge is an ensemble of two state-of-the-art segmentation models, the nn-Unet and the Swin UNETR, augmented by a maximum intensity projection classifier that acts like a gating mechanism. If it predicts the existence of lesions, both segmentations are combined by a late fusion approach. Our solution achieves a Dice score of 72.12\% on patients diagnosed with lung cancer, melanoma, and lymphoma in our cross-validation. Code: https://github.com/heiligerl/autopet_submission

  This paper proposes a localization-to-segmentation framework (L2SNet) for precise tumor segmentation. L2SNet first localizes the possible lesions in the lesion localization phase and then uses the location cues to shape the segmentation results in the lesion segmentation phase. Experiments with the MII Automated Lesion in Whole-Body FDG-PET/CT challenge dataset show that our method achieved a competitive result.
