• Abstract: Tumor segmentation in medical imaging is crucial and relies on precise delineation. Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) is widely used in clinical practice to detect metabolically active tumors. However, FDG-PET scans may misinterpret irregular glucose consumption in healthy or benign tissues as cancer. Combining PET with Computed Tomography (CT) can enhance tumor segmentation by integrating metabolic and anatomic information. FDG-PET/CT scans are pivotal for cancer staging and reassessment, utilizing radiolabeled fluorodeoxyglucose to highlight metabolically active regions. Accurately distinguishing tumor-specific uptake from physiological uptake in normal tissues is a challenging aspect of precise tumor segmentation. The AutoPET challenge addresses this by providing a dataset of 1014 FDG-PET/CT studies, encouraging advancements in accurate tumor segmentation and analysis within the FDG-PET/CT domain.

  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.
