The method is versatile for diverse modalities and tasks, as it does not require domain knowledge, paired data samples, or labels. During test time unORANIC is applied to potentially corrupted images, orthogonalizing their anatomy and characteristic components, to subsequently reconstruct corruption-free images, showing their domain-invariant anatomy only. This feature orthogonalization further improves generalization and robustness against corruptions. We confirm this qualitatively and quantitatively on 5 distinct datasets by assessing unORANIC's classification accuracy, corruption detection and revision capabilities. Our approach shows promise for enhancing the generalizability and robustness of practical applications in medical image analysis.
