arXiv:2606. 15457v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D FLAIR MRI is widely recommended as one of the standard MRI sequences for brain imaging in multiple sclerosis (MS), but publicly available MS datasets remain relatively small and vary across scanners, acquisition protocols, and lesion patterns.
The paper introduces a synthetic training framework for segmenting long‑tail haemorrhagic lesions such as cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and cortical superficial siderosis (cSS) without requiring real lesion annotations. By starting from anatomical brain parcellations, the method applies spatial augmentation, voxel resampling, and procedural insertion of lesion labels guided by clinical priors, then synthesises images with randomized intensity, blurring, and Rician noise. Models trained on these synthetic image‑label pairs outperformed classical filter baselines, achieving higher AUPRC and AUROC for both cSS and CMB segmentation.
This study presents a domain-aware deep learning framework based on nnU-Net for segmenting ischemic stroke lesions on non‑contrast CT scans and quantifying net water uptake (NWU). Trained on data from Hamburg and the Acute Ischemic Stroke Dataset, the model was fine‑tuned on small target‑domain subsets from Boston and ISLES, achieving median Dice scores of 0.68 and 0.56 for lesions ≥30 mL, and an NWU mean absolute error of 1.37 percentage points on the Boston cohort. The results demonstrate that target‑domain adaptation can enable accurate NCCT‑only infarct segmentation and low‑error NWU estimation across heterogeneous multicenter datasets.
The study evaluated a pragmatic deep‑learning approach for segmenting acute ischemic stroke lesions on diffusion‑weighted MRI. Using a self‑configured nnU‑Net trained on 1,744 cases and tested on 436, the baseline model achieved a median Dice similarity coefficient of 0.84, outperforming the DeepISLES ensemble, especially for smaller infarcts. The approach required minimal preprocessing and fast inference, suggesting it could streamline clinical stroke imaging workflows.

BrainIAC is a unified framework for 3D brain lesion segmentation that handles heterogeneous MRI modalities and adapts online during interactive segmentation. It combines a multi‑modal backbone trained with zero‑filling and random modality dropping, 3D interactive prompts that default to fully automatic predictions, and a two‑stage online adaptation guided by pseudo‑labels and a Click‑Centered Gaussian loss. Experiments on seven MRI datasets show that the components work synergistically, outperforming existing methods and generalizing to unseen modalities and pathologies.
