AI model enhances PET/CT lesion segmentation with interactive scribbles

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel interactive lesion segmentation method for PET/CT scans, utilizing a scribble-conditioned ResEnc U-Net. This approach leverages user-provided scribbles to mark foreground and background, significantly improving segmentation accuracy. The model, initialized from weights of a previous challenge winner, was fine-tuned and ensembled to achieve a mean Dice score of 0.751 and a lesion-level F1 score of 0.733 after interactive correction.

    BS: Take the Hint - Interactive Multitracer PET/CT Lesion Segmentation with a Scribble-Conditioned ResEnc U-Net

    arXiv:2609.01554v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated lesion segmentation in whole-body PET/CT is complicated by the variety of physiological tracer uptake patterns and by the differing appearance of lesions across tracers. The autoPET/CT V challenge addresses this by makin…
