Panda: Unsupervised Pelvic Anomaly Detection for Real-Time MR Imaging

Female pelvic diseases remain an under researched area characterized by often delayed diagnosis. While pelvic MRI offers superior soft-tissue contrast for diagnosis and image-guided procedures, real-time anomaly detection remains challenging due to physiological motion, tissue deformation, and instrument artifacts. Existing supervised approaches are impractical, as adverse events are rare, heterogeneous, and difficult to annotate. We present a Dinomaly-based unsupervised anomaly detection framework adapted for pelvic MRI that learns normative representations from healthy cases and flags deviations without requiring labels. Our approach leverages a frozen DINOv3 Vision Transformer encoder combined with a noisy MLP bottleneck and Linear Attention decoder to prevent identity mapping while maintaining computational efficiency. Anomalies are localized via per-token cosine distance between encoder and decoder representations, yielding spatial anomaly maps that provide immediate feedback at the scanner to support radiologist decision-making and adaptive protocol adjustment. Evaluated on a curated subset of the Uterine Myoma Dataset, the framework achieves a pixel-level AUROC of 88.06% and high specificity (95.45%) at frame level at 40.5 slices/s, meeting real-time clinical deployment requirements. The spatial anomaly maps and frame-level scores provide immediate, localized feedback at the scanner to support radiologist decision-making and adaptive protocol adjustment during active procedures.

Female-RHINO: A Real-Time Scanner-Integrated Framework for Automated Quantitative Uterine MRI Analysis and Structured Reporting

Standardized assessment of uterine MRI remains challenging due to anatomical variability, observer dependence, and the lack of workflow-integrated automated analysis tools. This work presents Female-RHINO: (R)eproductive (H)ealth (I)maging A(N)alysis T(O)ol, a real-time AI-assisted framework for automated quantitative uterine MRI analysis and structured reporting during image acquisition. We present an end-to-end system that integrates inline communication with the MRI scanner and deep learning-based analysis to derive quantitative uterine biomarkers from sagittal T2-weighted pelvic MRI. The framework combines segmentation and anatomical landmark detection models trained and evaluated on more than 500 multi-center datasets spanning diverse protocols, vendors, and patient populations. It performs volumetry, detects and quantifies common incidental findings such as fibroids and Nabothian cysts, and extracts six anatomical landmarks for biometric assessment. Results are compiled into a structured clinician-oriented report with integrated visualizations, without manual interaction. Evaluation on independent retrospective and prospective cohorts demonstrated robust performance across varying acquisition settings. Mean Dice similarity coefficients were 0.82 for the uterus and 0.80 for fibroids, with lower but consistent agreement for Nabothian cysts. Landmark detection achieved a mean radial error of 3.7 mm. End-to-end processing was completed in under 70 seconds, enabling availability of results during the ongoing scan. Prospective deployment yielded immediate, standardized, and reproducible analyses supported by inter-observer agreement. The proposed system enables real-time scanner-integrated AI for automated uterine MRI analysis and reporting, with potential to improve standardization, efficiency, and clinical workflow in pelvic imaging.
