We consider machine-learning-based malignancy prediction and lesion identification from clinical dermatological images, which can be indistinctly acquired via smartphone or dermoscopy capture. Additionally, we do not assume that images contain single lesions, thus the framework supports both focal or wide-field images. Specifically, we propose a two-stage approach in which we first identify all lesions present in the image regardless of sub-type or likelihood of malignancy, then it estimates their likelihood of malignancy, and through aggregation, it also generates an image-level likelihood of malignancy that can be used for high-level screening processes. Further, we consider augmenting the proposed approach with clinical covariates (from electronic health records) and publicly available data (the ISIC dataset). Comprehensive experiments validated on an independent test dataset demonstrate that i) the proposed approach outperforms alternative model architectures; ii) the model based on images outperforms a pure clinical model by a large margin, and the combination of images and clinical data does not significantly improves over the image-only model; and iii) the proposed framework offers comparable performance in terms of malignancy classification relative to three board certified dermatologists with different levels of experience.

This paper introduces a novel methodology to integrate human brain connectomics and parcellation for brain tumor segmentation and survival prediction. For segmentation, we utilize an existing brain parcellation atlas in the MNI152 1mm space and map t
his parcellation to each individual subject data. We use deep neural network architectures together with hard negative mining to achieve the final voxel level classification. For survival prediction, we present a new method for combining features from connectomics data, brain parcellation information, and the brain tumor mask. We leverage the average connectome information from the Human Connectome Project and map each subject brain volume onto this common connectome space. From this, we compute tractographic features that describe potential neural disruptions due to the brain tumor. These features are then used to predict the overall survival of the subjects. The main novelty in the proposed methods is the use of normalized brain parcellation data and tractography data from the human connectome project for analyzing MR images for segmentation and survival prediction. Experimental results are reported on the BraTS2018 dataset.
Over the past few years, different computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been proposed to tackle skin lesion analysis. Most of these systems work only for dermoscopy images since there is a strong lack of public clinical images archive availabl
e to design them. To fill this gap, we release a skin lesion benchmark composed of clinical images collected from smartphone devices and a set of patient clinical data containing up to 22 features. The dataset consists of 1,373 patients, 1,641 skin lesions, and 2,298 images for six different diagnostics: three skin diseases and three skin cancers. In total, 58.4% of the skin lesions are biopsy-proven, including 100% of the skin cancers. By releasing this benchmark, we aim to aid future research and the development of new tools to assist clinicians to detect skin cancer.
Manually annotating medical images is extremely expensive, especially for large-scale datasets. Self-supervised contrastive learning has been explored to learn feature representations from unlabeled images. However, unlike natural images, the applica
tion of contrastive learning to medical images is relatively limited. In this work, we propose a self-supervised framework, namely lesion-based contrastive learning for automated diabetic retinopathy (DR) grading. Instead of taking entire images as the input in the common contrastive learning scheme, lesion patches are employed to encourage the feature extractor to learn representations that are highly discriminative for DR grading. We also investigate different data augmentation operations in defining our contrastive prediction task. Extensive experiments are conducted on the publicly-accessible dataset EyePACS, demonstrating that our proposed framework performs outstandingly on DR grading in terms of both linear evaluation and transfer capacity evaluation.
Endoscopy is a widely used imaging modality to diagnose and treat diseases in hollow organs as for example the gastrointestinal tract, the kidney and the liver. However, due to varied modalities and use of different imaging protocols at various clini
cal centers impose significant challenges when generalising deep learning models. Moreover, the assembly of large datasets from different clinical centers can introduce a huge label bias that renders any learnt model unusable. Also, when using new modality or presence of images with rare patterns, a bulk amount of similar image data and their corresponding labels are required for training these models. In this work, we propose to use a few-shot learning approach that requires less training data and can be used to predict label classes of test samples from an unseen dataset. We propose a novel additive angular margin metric in the framework of prototypical network in few-shot learning setting. We compare our approach to the several established methods on a large cohort of multi-center, multi-organ, and multi-modal endoscopy data. The proposed algorithm outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods.
Lung nodule malignancy prediction is an essential step in the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Besides the difficulties commonly discussed, the challenges of this task also come from the ambiguous labels provided by annotators, since deep learning mod
els may learn, even amplify, the bias embedded in them. In this paper, we propose a multi-view divide-and-rule (MV-DAR) model to learn from both reliable and ambiguous annotations for lung nodule malignancy prediction. According to the consistency and reliability of their annotations, we divide nodules into three sets: a consistent and reliable set (CR-Set), an inconsistent set (IC-Set), and a low reliable set (LR-Set). The nodule in IC-Set is annotated by multiple radiologists inconsistently, and the nodule in LR-Set is annotated by only one radiologist. The proposed MV-DAR contains three DAR submodels to characterize a lung nodule from three orthographic views. Each DAR consists of a prediction network (Prd-Net), a counterfactual network (CF-Net), and a low reliable network (LR-Net), learning on CR-Set, IC-Set, and LR-Set, respectively. The image representation ability learned by CF-Net and LR-Net is then transferred to Prd-Net by negative-attention module (NA-Module) and consistent-attention module (CA-Module), aiming to boost the prediction ability of Prd-Net. The MV-DAR model has been evaluated on the LIDC-IDRI dataset and LUNGx dataset. Our results indicate not only the effectiveness of the proposed MV-DAR model in learning from ambiguous labels but also its superiority over present noisy label-learning models in lung nodule malignancy prediction.
