ARNAI: Artifact Removal Network based on Autoencoding and Inpainting for Robust Spinal Image Segmentation and Measurement

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The study introduces the RSM framework, which includes the ARNAI artifact removal network, to enhance automated measurement of spinopelvic parameters on postoperative lumbar spine radiographs containing implants. Adding ARNAI to the Transformer-based FCBFormer model raised the mean Dice similarity coefficient from 0.814 to 0.870 and significantly reduced the mean L4–L5 segmental Cobb angle error from about 15.8° to 4.7°, a 70% improvement. The framework also improved intraclass correlation coefficients for key parameters, surpassing 0.70 for pelvic tilt, lumbar lordosis, and sacral slope.

Anatomically Faithful Artifact Suppression in SENSE Accelerated Brain MRI

The study introduces ART‑Net, an anatomy‑aware residual attention network designed to refine four‑fold accelerated SENSE brain MRI. In a prospective paired study of 80 participants, ART‑Net achieved the highest peak signal‑to‑noise ratio and structural similarity index among evaluated methods, and it preserved anatomical fidelity with superior Dice coefficients for medial temporal and whole‑brain structures. Radiologist assessments also indicated improved gradient fidelity, regional contrast, and overall structural quality.

Anatomy-Change-Aware Bidirectional Selective State-Space Memory for Clinically Deployed Thoracic Radiotherapy Auto-Contouring

The paper introduces DAMM‑Net++, a 2.5D neural network for thoracic organ‑at‑risk and target volume segmentation that tackles inter‑slice surface incoherence, small low‑contrast target failure, and lack of per‑case reliability signals. Its core is an anatomy‑change‑aware bidirectional selective state‑space memory that propagates context across axial slices, complemented by a boundary‑aware decoder and an uncertainty head for calibrated per‑voxel confidence. Evaluations on 2,146 patients, an external cohort, and a reader study show high Dice scores (0.955), low HD95 (3.78 mm), significant time savings (75‑80 %) for clinicians, and improved junior‑reader performance, with the system fully integrated into a clinical workflow.
