Researchers have developed a novel framework to simultaneously detect lacunes and enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) in medical images, addressing challenges like feature interference and class imbalance. The proposed system utilizes Zero-Initialized Gated Cross-Task Attention to leverage EPVS context for improved lacune detection. It also incorporates a mixed-supervision strategy with Mutual Exclusion and Centerline Dice losses, alongside an Anatomically-Informed Inference Calibration mechanism to reduce false positives. Evaluations on the VALDO 2021 dataset showed state-of-the-art performance, particularly in lacunae detection precision and F1-score, and demonstrated robustness on the external EPAD cohort. AI
