• Abstract: Computed tomography (CT) segmentation models frequently include classes that are not currently supported by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation models. In this study, we show that a simple image inversion technique can significantly improve the segmentation quality of CT segmentation models on MRI data, by using the TotalSegmentator model, applied to T1-weighted MRI images, as example. Image inversion is straightforward to implement and does not require dedicated graphics processing units (GPUs), thus providing a quick alternative to complex deep modality-transfer models for generating segmentation masks for MRI data.

  We introduce the XLSTM-HVED model, which integrates a heteromodal encoder-decoder framework with the Vision XLSTM module to reconstruct missing MRI modalities. Key innovation of our approach is the Self-Attention Variational (SAVE) module, which improves the integration of modal features. Our experiments using the BraTS 2024 dataset demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms existing advanced methods in handling cases where modalities are missing.

  We propose two novel approaches using synthetic quantitative MRI (qMRI) images to enhance the robustness and generalisability of segmentation models. We trained a qMRI estimation model to predict qMRI maps from MPRAGE images, which were used to simulate diverse MRI sequences for segmentation training. A second approach built upon prior work in synthetic data for stroke lesion segmentation, generating qMRI maps from a dataset of tissue labels.

  We propose a novel model, Multi-modal Gaussian Process Prior Variational Autoencoder (MGP-VAE), to impute one or more missing sub-modalities for a patient scan. MGP-VAE can leverage the Gaussian Process (GP) prior on the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to utilize the subjects/patients and sub-modalities correlations. We show the applicability of MGP-VAE on brain tumor segmentation where either, two, or three of four sub-modalities may be missing.
