MTL-MAD: Multi-Task Learners are Effective Medical Anomaly Detectors
Researchers have developed MTL-MAD, a novel approach for detecting anomalies in medical images by training a joint model with multiple self-supervised and pseudo-labeling tasks. This multi-task learner (MTL) effectively captures normal anatomical structures, enabling anomaly scores to be derived from how well the model performs these tasks during inference. Experiments on the BMAD benchmark show MTL-MAD outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods and generates interpretable anomaly maps that could aid physicians in diagnosis. AI
