Keywords: Segmentation, Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence, Unsupervised learning; Lesion segmentationUnsupervised segmentation of brain lesions is desirable in many applications and has been investigated extensively. In this work, we proposed a new method for brain lesion segmentation, which effectively learns the spatial-intensity distribution of normal brain tissues and then treats lesion segmentation as an anomaly detection problem. We overcame the high-dimensional distribution learning problem using a subspace-assisted generative network. With the learned distribution, the anomaly detection problem was solved using Bayesian hypothesis testing. Our method has been validated using simulated and real brain MR images with stroke and tumor lesions, and produced significantly improved results than several state-of-the-art methods.
