New AI framework improves multiple myeloma lesion segmentation

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

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and efficient diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma.

    Multiple Myeloma Lesion Segmentation on Whole-Body Diffusion-Weighted Imaging via Efficient Anatomical Anticipation and Multimodal Confirmation

    arXiv:2609.06165v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI) is widely used for multiple myeloma (MM) assessment, yet automated lesion segmentation remains challenging due to limited anatomical delineation and the low specificity of marrow hype…
