• Authors: Yige Peng, Jinman Kim, Dagan Feng, Lei Bi
• Abstract summary: In PET/CT image assessment, automatic tumor segmentation is an important step. Existing methods tend to over-segment the tumor regions and include regions such as the normal high organs, inflammation, and other infections. We introduce a false positive reduction network to overcome this limitation.

• Abstract: Multi-modality Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) has been routinely used in the assessment of common cancers, such as lung cancer, lymphoma, and melanoma. This is mainly attributed to the fact that PET/CT combines the high sensitivity for tumor detection of PET and anatomical information from CT. In PET/CT image assessment, automatic tumor segmentation is an important step, and in recent years, deep learning based methods have become the state-of-the-art. Unfortunately, existing methods tend to over-segment the tumor regions and include regions such as the normal high uptake organs, inflammation, and other infections. In this study, we introduce a false positive reduction network to overcome this limitation. We firstly introduced a self-supervised pre-trained global segmentation module to coarsely delineate the candidate tumor regions using a self-supervised pre-trained encoder. The candidate tumor regions were then refined by removing false positives via a local refinement module. Our experiments with the MICCAI 2022 Automated Lesion Segmentation in Whole-Body FDG-PET/CT (AutoPET) challenge dataset showed that our method achieved a dice score of 0.9324 with the preliminary testing data and was ranked 1st place in dice on the leaderboard. Our method was also ranked in the top 7 methods on the final testing data, the final ranking will be announced during the 2022 MICCAI AutoPET workshop. Our code is available at: https://github.com/YigePeng/AutoPET_False_Positive_Reduction.

  This paper presents a coarse-to-fine PET reconstruction framework that consists of a coarse prediction module (CPM) and an iterative refinement module (IRM) By delegating most of the computational overhead to the CPM, the overall sampling speed of our method can be significantly improved. Two additional strategies, i.e., an auxiliary guidance strategy and a contrastive diffusion strategy, are proposed and integrated into the reconstruction process.

  Since FDG-PET scans only provide metabolic information, healthy tissue or benign disease with irregular glucose consumption may be mistaken for cancer. In this paper, we explore the potential of U-Net for lesion segmentation in whole-body FDG-PET/CT scans from three aspects, including network architecture, data preprocessing, and data augmentation. Our method achieves first place in both preliminary and final leaderboards of the autoPET 2022 challenge.

  We propose a two-step approach to improve the segmentation performances of tumoral lesions in PET-CT images. The first step generates a prior tumor appearance map from the PET-CT volumes, regarded as prior tumor information. The second step, consisting of a standard U-Net, receives the prior tumor appearance map and PET-CT images to generate the lesion mask.
