摘要
Artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into radiotherapy workflows, yet it remains vulnerable to out-of-distribution image data that can introduce unexpected behavior in clinical tasks. Deep learning (DL)-based anomaly detection for pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains limited and transparent evaluation for full automation is lacking. This study aimed to develop two self-supervised anomaly-detection framework variations in radiotherapy for pelvic and brain MRI.A two-stage self-supervised DL-framework was trained separately for pelvic and brain MRI utilizing three public datasets. The first stage compressed normal image data into discrete representations, and a second stage modeled the representation distribution. Anomaly-evidence was obtained by combining perceptual image differences with token-surprisal scores via negative log-likelihood estimation. Automated detection was evaluated for two anatomical cohorts: pelvis, encompassing both synthetic global anomalies and real clinical anomalies, and brain, comprising clinically annotated anomalies. Performance was assessed using sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). For each cohort, a subset of normal images was reserved for analysis. Promising exploratory performance across evaluation cohorts was obtained. AUCs were 0.97 (95% CI 0.96-0.99) for synthetic pelvic anomalies, 0.95 (95% CI 0.90-1.00) for clinical pelvic anomalies, and 0.81 (95% CI 0.74-0.87) for brain anomalies. Qualitative heatmap analysis showed spatial agreement between detected anomalies and reference annotations. The framework variations showed promising anomaly detection performance across pelvic and brain MRI, supporting its potential for automated MRI quality control in radiotherapy. Heatmap-based visualization further improved interpretability by spatially localizing detected anomalies.
