PseudoEARL-Net: a deep learning-based harmonization tool for retrospective EARL harmonization of multicenter FDG PET/CT

A. Kebaili, T. Carlier, A. Girard, A. Devillers, O. Humbert, S. Hapdey, C. Boucherie, F. Orlhac, P. Decazes

ORAL PRESENTATIONEANM 2026

Abstract

Aim/Introduction: EARL harmonization from raw PET data is critical for multicenter quantitative [18F]FDG PET/CT. We investigated whether non-harmonized standard PET images could be retrospectively standardized into EARL-compliant reconstructions through a data-efficient deep learning framework. Materials and Methods: We developed a U-Net-based residual image-to-image translation framework (PseudoEARL-Net) that predicts a voxel-wise Δ-map between standard PET and EARL-reconstructed images. Conclusion: Our PseudoEARL-Net model enables robust high-fidelity pseudo-EARL translation from routine [18F]FDG PET/CT scans, supporting radiomic reproducibility and the inclusion of historical non-compliant datasets in multicenter studies.

Multi-task diffusion approach for prediction of glioma tumor progression

A. Kebaili, R. Modzelewski, J. Lapuyade-Lahorgue, M. Fontanilles, S. Thureau, S. Ruan

ARXIVarXiv

Abstract

We propose a multi-task diffusion architecture dedicated to the spatio-temporal prediction of glioma progression. This model jointly generates future FLAIR sequences and probabilistic evolution maps based on Signed Distance Fields (SDF), integrating uncertainty quantification. Evaluated on both public datasets and a private internal cohort, the approach confirms strong inter-center robustness.

AMM-diff: Adaptive multi-modality diffusion network for missing modality imputation

A. Kebaili, J. Lapuyade-Lahorgue, P. Vera, S. Ruan

PUBLISHEDISBI 2025

Abstract

We propose AMM-Diff, a solution for missing MRI modality imputation from any available combination using an Image-Frequency Fusion Network (IFFN). The method adopts an adaptive reconstruction strategy to produce complete and coherent modalities, providing robust segmentation performance even under incomplete acquisitions.

PUBLISHEDNeurocomputing

Abstract

We present an HVAE with discriminative regularization designed to focus generation on relevant regions of interest. By integrating Hamiltonian dynamics for better latent space exploration, the model generates artifact-free image/mask pairs that improve Dice scores in data-scarce segmentation regimes.
