LETT-NeXt: A Lightweight RECIST-Guided Model for 3D CT Lesion Segmentation

Sebastian Aas, Elias Stenhede, Arian Ranjbar

RECIST diameter measurements are widely used for tumor response assessment, but they provide only a limited 2D description of lesion extent. We present LETT-NeXt, a lightweight RECIST-guided model that predicts 3D lesion masks from CT volumes and RECIST markers for the CVPR 2026 Foundation Models for Pan-cancer Segmentation in CT Images competition. LETT-NeXt extracts a RECIST-centered regional crop, encodes the RECIST line and endpoints as two prompt channels, and concatenates them with the CT input. A compact MedNeXt-v2 encoder--decoder predicts the lesion mask, followed by prompt-aware component selection and adaptive AutoZoom inference. On the public validation set, LETT-NeXt achieved a Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 79.4 $\pm$ 10.1 and a Normalized Surface Dice (NSD) of 72.3 $\pm$ 16.2. On the hidden test set, it achieved a DSC of 73.9 and an NSD of 67.3, corresponding to a challenge score of 70.6\%. On the public validation mirror, LETT-NeXt completed CPU inference in 6.9 $\pm$ 3.0 s per case with a peak memory use of 3.6 GB. Code is available at github.com/Ahus-AIM/lett-next.

Accurate segmentation of brain stroke lesions in non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scans is critical for rapid clinical decision-making, yet remains difficult due to the low contrast between lesion and normal brain tissue, heterogeneous lesion morphology across ischemic and…

Sparse Concept Channels in Frozen 3D CT Vision Encoders

Large vision-language models are becoming increasingly dominant in 3D medical image interpretation, but we rarely know <i>which</i> internal units encode clinical findings or <i>where</i> that information lives in the representation. We first study this on a 3D chest vision-langu…

Deep learning frameworks like nnU-Net achieve state-of-theart brain lesion segmentation performance but remain difficult to deploy in clinical research environments due to, among other reasons, software dependencies and computational requirements. We introduce StrokeSeg2, a light…

Extending a Large View Synthesis Model for Multi-view Panoptic Segmentation

Kwonyoung Ryu, In-Jae Lee, Jonghyun Jin, Hyunjee Lee, Jongmin Lee, Jaesik Park

Large view synthesis models synthesize novel views through cross-view attention without explicit 3D representations, and recent studies have shown that they learn accurate spatial correspondence from RGB supervision alone. We observe that this correspondence generalizes beyond ap…
