End-to-End Non-Contrast Brain Tumor SRS Clinical AI System
Flagship Research An integrated research program centered on brain tumor stereotactic radiosurgery. It features an advanced pipeline combining lesion-sensitive segmentation, quantitative MRI analysis, and constrained VLM-based report generation—all enabled on non-contrast MRI via knowledge distillation.
- Utilizes knowledge distillation to successfully detect and segment brain tumor lesions directly from non-contrast MRI scans.
- Integrates non-contrast MRI lesion detection into a constrained vision-language system to automate clinically grounded report generation.
- Encompasses core Ph.D. work on DBI-MambaUNet and SA-FTL while standardizing outputs into PACS-compatible DICOM SEG/SR.
DBI-MambaUNet + SA-FTL for Micro-Lesion Segmentation
Method Development A dedicated method-development project for multi-subtype brain tumor micro-lesion analysis in stereotactic radiosurgery, with explicit focus on improving lesion sensitivity for small lesions.
- Core manuscript currently under review at Medical Image Analysis.
- Designed to improve sensitivity for sub-4 mm lesions while maintaining clinical relevance.
- Represents the most method-centric part of the current Ph.D. work.
