Automatic segmentation of spinal multiple sclerosis lesions: How to generalize across MRI contrasts?
Olivier Vincent, Charley Gros, Joseph Paul Cohen, Julien Cohen-Adad
Despite recent improvements in medical image segmentation, the ability to generalize across imaging contrasts remains an open issue. To tackle this challenge, we implement Feature-wise Linear Modulation (FiLM) to leverage physics knowledge within the segmentation model and learn the characteristics of each contrast. Interestingly, a well-optimised U-Net reached the same performance as our FiLMed-Unet on a multi-contrast dataset (0.72 of Dice score), which suggests that there is a bottleneck in spinal MS lesion segmentation different from the generalization across varying contrasts. This bottleneck likely stems from inter-rater variability, which is estimated at 0.61 of Dice score in our dataset.
