• Abstract summary: Deep learning has enabled the accurate segmentation of various diseases in medical imaging. These performances, however, typically demand large amounts of manual voxel annotations. We propose a multimodal interactive segmentation framework that mitigates these issues by combining anatomical and physiological cues from PET/CT data.

• Abstract: Recently, deep learning enabled the accurate segmentation of various diseases in medical imaging. These performances, however, typically demand large amounts of manual voxel annotations. This tedious process for volumetric data becomes more complex when not all required information is available in a single imaging domain as is the case for PET/CT data. We propose a multimodal interactive segmentation framework that mitigates these issues by combining anatomical and physiological cues from PET/CT data. Our framework utilizes the geodesic distance transform to represent the user annotations and we implement a novel ellipsoid-based user simulation scheme during training. We further propose two annotation interfaces and conduct a user study to estimate their usability. We evaluated our model on the in-domain validation dataset and an unseen PET/CT dataset. We make our code publicly available: https://github.com/verena-hallitschke/pet-ct-annotate.

  The autoPET III Challenge focuses on advancing automated segmentation of tumor lesions in PET/CT images. We developed a classifier that identifies the tracer of the given PET/CT based on the Maximum Intensity Projection of the PET scan. Our final submission achieves cross-validation Dice scores of 76.90% and 61.33% for the publicly available FDG and PSMA datasets.

  We present our solution for the autoPET III challenge, targeting multitracer, multicenter generalization using the nnU-Net framework with the ResEncL architecture. Key techniques include misalignment data augmentation and multi-modal pretraining across CT, MR, and PET datasets. Compared to the default nnU-Net, which achieved a Dice score of 57.61, our model significantly improved performance with a Dice score of 68.40, alongside a reduction in false positive (FPvol: 7.82) and false negative (FNvol: 10.35) volumes.

  We adapt the DiffTumor method, originally designed for CT images, to generate synthetic PET-CT images with lesions. Our approach trains the generative model on the AutoPET dataset and uses it to expand the training data. Our findings show that the model trained on the augmented dataset achieves a higher Dice score, demonstrating the potential of our data augmentation approach.

  Deep learning has revolutionized the accurate segmentation of diseases in medical imaging. This requirement presents a challenge for whole-body Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, where lesions are scattered throughout the body. We introduce SW-FastEdit - an interactive segmentation framework that accelerates the labeling by utilizing only a few user clicks instead of voxelwise annotations. Our model outperforms existing non-sliding window interactive models on the AutoPET dataset and generalizes to the previously unseen HECKTOR dataset.

  We propose a new method called Convolutional Monge Mapping Normalization (CMMN) CMMN consists in filtering the signals in order to adapt their power spectrum density (PSD) to a Wasserstein barycenter estimated on training data. Numerical experiments on sleep EEG data show that CMMN leads to significant and consistent performance gains independent from the neural network architecture.

  Vision Transformers (ViTs) have not been applied to this task despite their high classification performance on generic images. ViTs do not rely on convolutions but on patch-based self-attention and in contrast to CNNs, no prior knowledge of local connectivity is present. Our results show that while the performance between ViTs and CNNs is on par with a small benefit for ViTs, DeiTs outperform the former if a reasonably large data set is available for training.
