The paper introduces Segment Anything Small (SAS), a data‑augmentation method that improves deep‑learning segmentation of small anatomical structures in ultrasound images. SAS uses two transformations: resizing and embedding organ thumbnails into a black background to vary organ scale, and adding noise to regions of interest to mimic tissue texture variability. Experiments on one internal and five external datasets show Dice score gains up to 0.35, with an average improvement of 0.16, and demonstrate that SAS enhances model robustness and generalizability without adding hallucinations or artifacts.

arXiv:2605. 25402v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-supervised pre-training paradigm has gained increasing prominence for learning transferable representations in medical imaging, yet existing methods for ultrasound (US) images operate at the image or frame level, overlooking the anatomical context for clinical-aligned representation learning.
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.
