Researchers have developed a novel two-stage framework for segmenting multiple myeloma lesions on whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI). The first stage efficiently generates a bone region-of-interest (ROI) from ADC images without requiring manual annotation or dedicated bone models. The second stage employs an Anatomy-guided Multimodal U-Net (AMU-Net) that integrates ADC information in a clinically relevant manner, rather than simple channel fusion. This approach achieved a mean Dice score of 76.2%, outperforming existing methods. AI
