We validated our approach on diverse longitudinal internaland public datasets spanning CT and MRI modalities. Notably, it surpasses state-of-the-art results on the Deep Lesion Trackingdataset. Additionally, we have shown that the method effectively addresses landmark localization. The algorithm operatesefficiently on standard CPU hardware, allowing configurable trade-offs between speed and robustness. It enables automatednavigation in medical images while eliminating the need for machine learning pipelines.
