Merged summary

TL;DR - MUST-PET is a multimodal, multi-tracer self-supervised framework for whole-body PET/CT lesion segmentation. It aims to reduce annotation requirements while improving generalization across cancer types, radiotracers, institutions, and unseen datasets.

  • Pretraining uses context-aware masked reconstruction, reconstructing a partially masked PET or CT modality with complementary information from both.
  • The study covers multi-institutional, pan-cancer scans acquired with FDG and PSMA-targeted radiotracers.
  • Fine-tuning improves lesion segmentation compared with training from scratch and remains effective with limited labeled data.
  • Performance on independent external datasets indicates improved robustness to domain shifts.
