| contents | Weakly Supervised Anomaly detection (WSAD) in brain MRI scans is an important challenge useful to obtain quick and accurate detection of brain anomalies when precise pixel-level anomaly annotations are unavailable and only weak labels (e.g., slice-level) are available. In this work, we propose RASALoRE: Region Aware Spatial Attention with Location-based Random Embeddings, a novel two-stage WSAD framework. In the first stage, we introduce a Discriminative Dual Prompt Tuning (DDPT) mechanism that generates high-quality pseudo weak masks based on slice-level labels, serving as coarse localization cues. In the second stage, we propose a segmentation network with a region-aware spatial attention mechanism that relies on fixed location-based random embeddings. This design enables the model to effectively focus on anomalous regions. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art anomaly detection performance, significantly outperforming existing WSAD methods while utilizing less than 8 million parameters. Extensive evaluations on the BraTS20, BraTS21, BraTS23, and MSD datasets demonstrate a substantial performance improvement coupled with a significant reduction in computational complexity. Code is available at: https://github.com/BheeshmSharma/RASALoRE-BMVC-2025/. |
