PET/CT CANCER MAPPING

See where the disease is — and measure it.

Ingensia software processes whole-body FDG PET/CT, identifies and outlines disease burden, and turns each case into measurements physicians and researchers can use. That includes tumor volume, radiomics features, and a structured report — with no manual contouring.

WHAT THE SOFTWARE DOES

Left: the PET/CT scan.Right: the segmentation mask generated by the software.

The PET/CT image shows the scan with abnormal uptake in context. The segmentation image shows what the model has isolated as disease. Once that mask is created, the rest of the pipeline can measure tumor burden and export structured case-level results automatically.

From scan to measurable mask This is the core workflow: start with the PET/CT image, create the segmentation mask, then extract quantitative outputs from the masked disease volume.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Built by a clinical oncologist with deep AI roots

Ingensia was founded by Jacob Shreve, MD, MS, a physician–computer scientist whose career spans clinical oncology, bioinformatics, and translational artificial intelligence. The company reflects the same philosophy that has shaped his work: use advanced models where they solve real problems, validate them rigorously, and make them useful inside real clinical environments.

Professional biography

Dr. Shreve is a clinical oncologist and physician–computer scientist whose work sits at the intersection of cancer care, medical imaging, computer vision, and translational AI. He began his career in computational science and bioinformatics before moving into medicine to bring advanced analytics closer to patient care.

His postgraduate medical training includes residency at Cleveland Clinic and fellowship at Mayo Clinic. At Mayo Clinic, he founded the Hematology AI Group and helped spearhead some of the institution’s earlier practical uses of AI in hematology and oncology. That combination of technical depth and frontline clinical experience now defines Ingensia’s approach to PET/CT imaging AI: rigorous, practical, and built for the realities of real-world oncology data.

The result is a clinician-led company with a deliberately grounded style. The emphasis is not novelty for its own sake, but robust segmentation quality, transparent outputs, radiomics that can be inspected and exported, and tools that are genuinely useful for collaborating investigators and clinical teams.

CORE EXPERTISE

What the platform actually does

This redesign keeps the site centered on Ingensia’s strongest differentiator: high-value PET/CT computer vision and the analysis pipeline that follows it.

Automated PET/CT lesion segmentation

Whole-body segmentation of FDG-avid disease with disease-burden outputs designed for practical use in DLBCL and related hematologic malignancies.

Radiomics at scale

Extraction of tumor shape, intensity, surface, texture, and burden features after segmentation, enabling standardized imaging biomarker generation per scan.

Exploratory machine-learning workflows

Integration of radiomics with clinical and laboratory variables for risk stratification, response modeling, survival analysis, and biologic correlation studies.

DICOM-aware engineering

Robust CT/PET series detection, reconstruction-aware selection, resampling, QC, and reporting so the pipeline is usable on real clinical imaging archives rather than hand-curated toy datasets.

BENCHMARK

Blinded comparison against the next-best open-source lymphoma PET/CT model

For public benchmarking, Ingensia was compared against the next-best open-source lymphoma PET/CT computer-vision baseline we could directly run in this disease space: the French Blanc-Durand/TMTV pipeline1, 2. The goal is simple enough for a clinician and rigorous enough for a technical reviewer: determine whether the software outlines disease more closely to expert reference masks on held-out DLBCL scans.

Why this matters

Better tumor masks make the measurements that follow more trustworthy.

For a non-technical physician, the central question is not the architecture name. It is whether the software actually outlines the disease correctly. In this blinded comparison, Ingensia tracked the expert reference masks much more closely than the next-best open-source lymphoma PET/CT model.

For clinicians

More complete disease outlining means tumor-burden measurements are less likely to miss clinically meaningful volume.

For researchers

Segmentation quality matters upstream because radiomics, SUV metrics, and downstream modeling all depend on that mask.

Benchmark at a glance
+67%

higher mean Dice than the next-best open-source lymphoma PET/CT model

Mean Dice was 0.8208 for Ingensia versus 0.4906 for the next-best open-source comparator on the blinded 10-case DLBCL hold-out, with higher Dice in 9 of 10 cases and materially stronger recall.

0.8208 Ingensia mean DSC
0.4906 Next-best open source DSC
9 / 10 cases with higher Dice
0.8521 Ingensia mean recall
Plain-English readout: Dice is an overlap score between the model mask and the expert reference mask. Higher Dice means the software traced the disease more like the radiologist-verified ground truth.

Case-wise consistency across the hold-out The advantage is visible across the full 10-case benchmark, not just a single highlighted example. The largest absolute Dice gains were seen in cases 7, 8, 5, 2, and 1.

Mean Dice, recall, and precision all improved These are the core overlap and sensitivity-oriented metrics clinicians and imaging researchers care about most in this head-to-head comparison.
Comparator

The next-best open-source baseline

The public comparator used here is the French Blanc-Durand/TMTV lymphoma PET/CT model1, 2. It is a meaningful public benchmark because few open-source lymphoma-specific PET/CT segmentation models exist in this domain.

  • Designed for lymphoma lesion segmentation and TMTV-oriented analysis.
  • Distributed as a public inference wrapper around the French model.
  • Expects user-prepared NIfTI pairs: CT as patientID_0000 and PET as patientID_0001 in SUV2.
Ingensia stack

What the full Ingensia workflow adds

Ingensia does not stop at a segmentation call. The observable stack handles DICOM normalization, CT/PET series nomination, PET-to-CT-grid harmonization, nnU-Net v2 low-resolution and full-resolution inference, ensembling, postprocessing, QC, radiomics extraction, and packaged reporting5, 6.

  • DICOM-aware preprocessing and heuristic series selection are part of the product.
  • Dual-branch nnU-Net v2 inference is followed by ensemble and postprocessing.
  • Downstream outputs include SUV burden metrics, radiomics, QC artifacts, an HTML report, and an interactive viewer.
Ground truth

Why the benchmark is worth taking seriously

The reference masks come from the FDG-PET-CT-Lesions dataset, where FDG-avid lesions were manually segmented in 3D and reviewed in consensus when needed3, 4. That gives the comparison an open and auditable ground-truth backbone.

Why this is especially useful: the comparator is public, the lesion dataset is public, and the reference masks were radiologist-reviewed. That makes the head-to-head result unusually transparent and easy for outside researchers to inspect.
