Three-Phase Scribble-Adaptive Curriculum Learning for autoPETV Grand Challenge
The paper presents Libo Zhang’s algorithmic solution for the autoPETV Grand Challenge, focusing on interactive lesion segmentation in whole-body PET/CT scans. The method encodes user scribbles as two additional input channels and trains a large residual‑encoder U‑Net (≈140 M parameters) through a three‑phase curriculum over 4000 epochs, progressively moving from fully automatic segmentation to handling user‑provided scribbles and finally correcting its own mistakes via simulated error‑driven steps. Using 1811 studies for training and an ensemble of five‑fold checkpoints, the approach achieves a mean AUC‑Dice of 3.836 and a mean AUC‑DMM of 3.869 in interactive five‑fold cross‑validation, with significant gains from the first corrective scribble.

Anatomy-Aware Promptable Segmentation with Online Interactive Training for AUTOPET V
The paper introduces an anatomy-aware, promptable segmentation model for whole-body lesion detection in FDG and PSMA PET/CT scans, tailored for the AUTOPET V challenge. The approach builds on nnU-Net, employing a two-stage training process: an initial pre-training phase for strong baseline segmentation and an online interactive phase that refines predictions using scribble prompts. Anatomical context is integrated via organ supervision with a shared head predicting both lesions and organs, reducing false positives, while a tracer classifier directs studies to either a combined FDG+PSMA model or a PSMA-specific model. Cross-validation results show that organ-supervised training yields the most stable performance, the interactive stage consistently improves Dice scores, and PSMA-specific training delivers the best tracer-wise results.

Prompt-Guided Interactive Segmentation of Interstitial Lung Disease in Thoracic CT
The paper introduces the first adaptation of the MedSAM2 foundation model for interactive 3D segmentation of interstitial lung disease (ILD) on thoracic CT scans. It evaluates three fine‑tuning strategies and four prompt types—bounding‑boxes, points, lassos, and scribbles—finding that full model fine‑tuning yields the best performance, improving Dice scores by 4.7 percentage points over the baseline. A proof‑of‑concept workflow is presented where MedSAM2 is first initialized with an automatic prior and then refined by radiologist prompts, with all resources released on GitHub.
