Abstract: In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the utilization of lower-quality Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology raises questions about the applicability of machine learning methods for clinical tasks. This study aims to provide a robust deep learning-based brain tumor segmentation (BraTS) method tailored for the SSA population using a threefold approach. Firstly, the impact of domain shift from the SSA training data on model efficacy was examined, revealing no significant effect. Secondly, a comparative analysis of 3D and 2D full-resolution models using the nnU-Net framework indicates similar performance of both the models trained for 300 epochs achieving a five-fold cross-validation score of 0.93. Lastly, addressing the performance gap observed in SSA validation as opposed to the relatively larger BraTS glioma (GLI) validation set, two strategies are proposed: fine-tuning SSA cases using the GLI+SSA best-pretrained 2D fullres model at 300 epochs, and introducing a novel neural style transfer-based data augmentation technique for the SSA cases. This investigation underscores the potential of enhancing brain tumor prediction within SSA's unique healthcare landscape.

SAMRI-2: A Memory-based Model for Cartilage and Meniscus Segmentation in 3D MRIs of the Knee Joint [0.7879983966759583]
This study introduces a deep learning (DL) method for cartilage and meniscus segmentation from 3D MRIs using memory-based VFMs. We trained four AI models-a CNN-based 3D-VNet, two automatic transformer-based models (SaMRI2D and SaMRI3D), and a transformer-based promptable memory-based VFM (SAMRI-2)-on 3D knee MRIs from 270 patients. SAMRI-2 model, trained with HSS, outperformed all other models, achieving an average improvement of 5 points, with a peak improvement of 12 points for tibial cartilage.

3D delineation of anatomical structures is a cardinal goal in medical imaging analysis. Prior to deep learning, statistical shape models that imposed anatomical constraints and produced high quality surfaces were a core technology. We present deep implicit statistical shape models (DISSMs), a new approach to delineation that marries the representation power of CNNs with the robustness of SSMs.
