arXiv:2604. 19191v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying AI-based anomaly detection across diverse clinical imaging settings remains challenging because most existing methods rely on modality-specific architectures, anatomical priors, or extensive retraining, limiting their use as general-purpose screening tools.
arXiv:2507. 21164v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) aims to detect anomalies without labeled data, a necessity in many machine learning applications where anomalous samples are rare or not available.
MIRTO is an evaluation protocol for unsupervised anomaly segmentation in brain MRI that explicitly documents key methodological choices—such as registration alignment, threshold setting, and false‑positive budgeting—and measures their impact. It applies a registration check, uses validation data for thresholding, reports realized false‑positive volumes, and repeats each comparison across 15,552 evaluation pipelines with bootstrap intervals. In a study on four UAD methods and 312 BraTS 2020 subjects, MIRTO revealed that an axis‑order mismatch dramatically lowered a diffusion model’s voxel AUROC, and that many performance differences were driven by lesion definition and threshold transfer rather than model quality.

This study introduces a self‑supervised, physics‑guided deep‑learning framework that converts standard clinical T1‑, T2‑, and FLAIR MRIs into quantitative T1, T2, and proton‑density maps. Trained on 4,121 scan sessions from four different 3 T scanners over six years, the method produces maps whose white‑ and gray‑matter values fall within literature ranges and shows minimal variation across scanner hardware and acquisition protocols (coefficients of variation ≤ 1.1 %). Voxel‑wise reproducibility is high, with Pearson and concordance correlation coefficients above 0.82 for T1 and T2 and mean relative differences below 6 % for T2.

Medical vision-language models typically generate diagnoses through single-pass inference without indicating which image regions support their conclusions. This lack of spatial grounding limits clinical utility: outputs cannot be audited, and models may hallucinate findings on normal scans.
