• Abstract: Medical image segmentation (MIS) plays an instrumental role in medical image analysis, where considerable effort has been devoted to automating the process. Currently, mainstream MIS approaches are based on deep neural networks (DNNs), which are typically trained on a dataset with annotations produced by certain medical experts. In the medical domain, the annotations generated by different experts can be inherently distinct due to complexity of medical images and variations in expertise and post-segmentation missions. Consequently, the DNN model trained on the data annotated by some experts may hardly adapt to a new expert. In this work, we evaluate a customised expert-adaptive method, characterised by multi-expert annotation, multi-task DNN-based model training, and lightweight model fine-tuning, to investigate model's adaptivity to a new expert in the situation where the amount and mobility of training images are limited. Experiments conducted on brain MRI segmentation tasks with limited training data demonstrate its effectiveness and the impact of its key parameters.

  We introduce a single diffusion model-based approach that produces multiple plausible outputs by learning a distribution over group insights. Our proposed model generates a distribution of segmentation masks by leveraging the inherent sampling process of diffusion. Comprehensive results show that our proposed approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art ambiguous segmentation networks.

  We propose an alternative deep learning training strategy based on self-supervised pretraining on unlabeled MRI scans. Our pretraining approach first, randomly applies different distortions to random areas of unlabeled images and then predicts the type of distortions and loss of information. The effectiveness of the proposed method for segmentation tasks in different pre-training and fine-tuning scenarios is evaluated.

  In hospitals, data are siloed to specific information systems that make the same information available under different modalities. This offers unique opportunities to obtain and use at train-time those multiple views of the same information that might not always be available at test-time. We propose an innovative framework that makes the most of available data by learning good representations of a multi-modal input that are resilient to modality dropping at test-time.
