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 examines how residual misalignments from registration procedures introduce structured label noise in supervised synthetic CT (sCT) generation. It shows that voxel‑wise metrics are heavily influenced by the consistency between training and evaluation registrations, and that training with anatomically consistent registrations reduces variability and improves robustness. Introducing a perceptual loss based on a pretrained Segment Anything encoder yields sharper, more anatomically coherent sCT and highlights the need for anatomy‑oriented evaluation.

Foundation models such as Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) have transformed natural-image and video segmentation, and recent work has begun adapting them to medical imaging. These adaptations, however, are largely general-purpose models that treat MRI as one modality among many; large-scale, MRI-specific modelling and benchmarking remain limited, even though MRI's low soft-tissue contrast leaves many boundaries effectively invisible on individual slices.
