Efficient Transformer-Based Localized Patch Sampling for Choroid Plexus Segmentation in Multiple Sclerosis
arXiv:2606.03566v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background: The lateral ventricle choroid plexus (LVCP) is gaining recognition as a key imaging biomarker for multiple sclerosis (MS) related to physical disability and neuroinflammation. Yet, manual segmentation of the LVCP is highly tedious, restricting its use in broad clinical trials and longitudinal assessments. This research aims to develop a SwinUNETR-driven pipeline that leverages targeted intra- and peri-ventricular small patch sampling to automatically segment the LVCP in MS from both standalone and multi-modal MRI inputs. Methods: We
The continuous advancements in AI, specifically transformer models, are enabling more precise and automated medical image analysis, addressing previously manual and tedious tasks.
This development significantly enhances the potential for early and efficient diagnosis and monitoring of Multiple Sclerosis, transforming clinical trial processes and patient care.
Manual segmentation, a bottleneck in MS research and treatment, can now be automated, improving scalability and consistency in assessing a crucial biomarker.
