Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a tumor phenotype whose diagnosis largely impacts patient care in colorectal cancers (CRC), and is associated with response to immunotherapy in all solid tumors. Deep learning models detecting MSI tumors directly from H&E stained slides have shown promise in improving diagnosis of MSI patients. Prior deep learning models for MSI detection have relied on neural networks pretrained on ImageNet dataset, which does not contain any medical image. In this study, we leverage recent advances in self-supervised learning by training neural networks on histology images from the TCGA dataset using MoCo V2. We show that these networks consistently outperform their counterparts pretrained using ImageNet and obtain state-of-the-art results for MSI detection with AUCs of 0.92 and 0.83 for CRC and gastric tumors, respectively. These models generalize well on an external CRC cohort (0.97 AUC on PAIP) and improve transfer from one organ to another. Finally we show that predictive image regions exhibit meaningful histological patterns, and that the use of MoCo features highlighted more relevant patterns according to an expert pathologist.

Deep learning can promote the mammography-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) for breast cancers, but it generally suffers from the small sample size problem. Self-supervised learning (SSL) has shown its effectiveness in medical image analysis with limited training samples. However, the network model sometimes cannot be well pre-trained in the conventional SSL framework due to the limitation of the pretext task and fine-tuning mechanism. In this work, a Task-driven Self-supervised Bi-channel Networks (TSBN) framework is proposed to improve the performance of classification model the mammography-based CAD. In particular, a new gray-scale image mapping (GSIM) is designed as the pretext task, which embeds the class label information of mammograms into the image restoration task to improve discriminative feature representation. The proposed TSBN then innovatively integrates different network architecture, including the image restoration network and the classification network, into a unified SSL framework. It jointly trains the bi-channel network models and collaboratively transfers the knowledge from the pretext task network to the downstream task network with improved diagnostic accuracy. The proposed TSBN is evaluated on a public INbreast mammogram dataset. The experimental results indicate that it outperforms the conventional SSL and multi-task learning algorithms for diagnosis of breast cancers with limited samples.
Deep learning (DL) has emerged as a powerful tool for accelerated MRI reconstruction, but these methods often necessitate a database of fully-sampled measurements for training. Recent self-supervised and unsupervised learning approaches enable training without fully-sampled data. However, a database of undersampled measurements may not be available in many scenarios, especially for scans involving contrast or recently developed translational acquisitions. Moreover, database-trained models may not generalize well when the unseen measurements differ in terms of sampling pattern, acceleration rate, SNR, image contrast, and anatomy. Such challenges necessitate a new methodology that can enable scan-specific DL MRI reconstruction without any external training datasets. In this work, we propose a zero-shot self-supervised learning approach to perform scan-specific accelerated MRI reconstruction to tackle these issues. The proposed approach splits available measurements for each scan into three disjoint sets. Two of these sets are used to enforce data consistency and define loss during training, while the last set is used to establish an early stopping criterion. In the presence of models pre-trained on a database with different image characteristics, we show that the proposed approach can be combined with transfer learning to further improve reconstruction quality.
Deep anomaly detection models using a supervised mode of learning usually work under a closed set assumption and suffer from overfitting to previously seen rare anomalies at training, which hinders their applicability in a real scenario. In addition, obtaining annotations for X-rays is very time consuming and requires extensive training of radiologists. Hence, training anomaly detection in a fully unsupervised or self-supervised fashion would be advantageous, allowing a significant reduction of time spent on the report by radiologists. In this paper, we present SALAD, an end-to-end deep self-supervised methodology for anomaly detection on X-Ray images. The proposed method is based on an optimization strategy in which a deep neural network is encouraged to represent prototypical local patterns of the normal data in the embedding space. During training, we record the prototypical patterns of normal training samples via a memory bank. Our anomaly score is then derived by measuring similarity to a weighted combination of normal prototypical patterns within a memory bank without using any anomalous patterns. We present extensive experiments on the challenging NIH Chest X-rays and MURA dataset, which indicate that our algorithm improves state-of-the-art methods by a wide margin.
Longitudinal imaging forms an essential component in the management and follow-up of many medical conditions. The presence of lesion changes on serial imaging can have significant impact on clinical decision making, highlighting the important role for automated change detection. Lesion changes can represent anomalies in serial imaging, which implies a limited availability of annotations and a wide variety of possible changes that need to be considered. Hence, we introduce a new unsupervised anomaly detection and localisation method trained exclusively with serial images that do not contain any lesion changes. Our training automatically synthesises lesion changes in serial images, introducing detection and localisation pseudo-labels that are used to self-supervise the training of our model. Given the rarity of these lesion changes in the synthesised images, we train the model with the imbalance robust focal Tversky loss. When compared to supervised models trained on different datasets, our method shows competitive performance in the detection and localisation of new demyelinating lesions on longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging in multiple sclerosis patients. Code for the models will be made available on GitHub.
Change detection for remote sensing images is widely applied for urban change detection, disaster assessment and other fields. However, most of the existing CNN-based change detection methods still suffer from the problem of inadequate pseudo-changes suppression and insufficient feature representation. In this work, an unsupervised change detection method based on Task-related Self-supervised Learning Change Detection network with smooth mechanism(TSLCD) is proposed to eliminate it. The main contributions include: (1) the task-related self-supervised learning module is introduced to extract spatial features more effectively. (2) a hard-sample-mining loss function is applied to pay more attention to the hard-to-classify samples. (3) a smooth mechanism is utilized to remove some of pseudo-changes and noise. Experiments on four remote sensing change detection datasets reveal that the proposed TSLCD method achieves the state-of-the-art for change detection task.
