New MIRAGE model enhances MRI contrast for breast cancer detection

Researchers have developed MIRAGE, a novel 2D U-Net model designed to enhance contrast in MRI scans for breast cancer detection. The model integrates global reconstruction and perceptual losses with specialized lesion-aware supervision, including an asymmetric penalty for missed tumor enhancement and multi-scale auxiliary tumor segmentation. Evaluated on 301 cases from the MAMA-SYNTH dataset, MIRAGE demonstrated superior performance across six metrics compared to baseline methods like pix2pix and conditional diffusion, significantly improving downstream lesion localization.

    MIRAGE: Multi-scale Lesion-Informed Representation with Auxiliary Guidance for MRI Contrast Enhancement

    arXiv:2607.19137v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inferring contrast enhancement from one pre-contrast breast MRI slice is underdetermined: post-contrast appearance contains physiological information that is not uniquely encoded in baseline anatomy. Optimizing only paired pixel f…
