• Abstract summary: We propose PET-Disentangler, a 3D disentanglement method that uses a 3D UNet-like encoder-decoder architecture to disentangle disease and normal healthy anatomical features. A critic network is used to encourage the healthy latent features to match the distribution of healthy samples.

• Abstract: PET imaging is an invaluable tool in clinical settings as it captures the functional activity of both healthy anatomy and cancerous lesions. Developing automatic lesion segmentation methods for PET images is crucial since manual lesion segmentation is laborious and prone to inter- and intra-observer variability. We propose PET-Disentangler, a 3D disentanglement method that uses a 3D UNet-like encoder-decoder architecture to disentangle disease and normal healthy anatomical features with losses for segmentation, reconstruction, and healthy component plausibility. A critic network is used to encourage the healthy latent features to match the distribution of healthy samples and thus encourages these features to not contain any lesion-related features. Our quantitative results show that PET-Disentangler is less prone to incorrectly declaring healthy and high tracer uptake regions as cancerous lesions, since such uptake pattern would be assigned to the disentangled healthy component.

  We trained a 3D Residual encoder U-Net within the no new U-Net framework to generalize the performance of automatic lesion segmentation. We leveraged test-time augmentations and other post-processing techniques to enhance tumor lesion segmentation. Our team currently hold the top position in the Auto-PET III challenge and outperformed the challenge baseline model in the preliminary test set with Dice score of 0.9627.

  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.

  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.
