• Abstract: Over the past years, pseudo-healthy reconstruction for unsupervised anomaly detection has gained in popularity. This approach has the great advantage of not requiring tedious pixel-wise data annotation and offers possibility to generalize to any kind of anomalies, including that corresponding to rare diseases. By training a deep generative model with only images from healthy subjects, the model will learn to reconstruct pseudo-healthy images. This pseudo-healthy reconstruction is then compared to the input to detect and localize anomalies. The evaluation of such methods often relies on a ground truth lesion mask that is available for test data, which may not exist depending on the application. We propose an evaluation procedure based on the simulation of realistic abnormal images to validate pseudo-healthy reconstruction methods when no ground truth is available. This allows us to extensively test generative models on different kinds of anomalies and measuring their performance using the pair of normal and abnormal images corresponding to the same subject. It can be used as a preliminary automatic step to validate the capacity of a generative model to reconstruct pseudo-healthy images, before a more advanced validation step that would require clinician's expertise. We apply this framework to the reconstruction of 3D brain FDG PET using a convolutional variational autoencoder with the aim to detect as early as possible the neurodegeneration markers that are specific to dementia such as Alzheimer's disease.

  We introduce a novel Spatial-aware Attention Generative Adrialversa Network (SAGAN) for one-class semi-supervised generation of health images. SAGAN generates high-quality health images corresponding to unlabeled data, guided by the reconstruction of normal images and restoration of pseudo-anomaly images. Extensive experiments on three medical datasets demonstrate that the proposed SAGAN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

  Diffusion models are an emerging class of deep generative models that show great potential regarding reconstruction fidelity. We propose to condition the denoising mechanism of diffusion models with additional information about the image to reconstruct coming from a latent representation of the noise-free input image. This conditioning enables high-fidelity reconstruction of healthy brain structures while aligning local intensity characteristics of input-reconstruction pairs.

• Leveraging healthy population variability in deep learning unsupervised anomaly detection in brain FDG PET [0.0]
  Unsupervised anomaly detection is a popular approach for the analysis of neuroimaging data. It relies on building a subject-specific model of healthy appearance to which a subject's image can be compared to detect anomalies. In the literature, it is common for anomaly detection to rely on analysing the residual image between the subject's image and its pseudo-healthy reconstruction.
