Machine learning technologies using deep neural networks (DNNs), especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have made automated, accurate, and fast medical image analysis a reality for many applications, and some DNN-based medical image analysis systems have even been FDA-cleared. Despite the progress, challenges remain to build DNNs as reliable as human expert doctors. It is known that DNN classifiers may not be robust to noises: by adding a small amount of noise to an input image, a DNN classifier may make a wrong classification of the noisy image (i.e., in-distribution adversarial sample), whereas it makes the right classification of the clean image. Another issue is caused by out-of-distribution samples that are not similar to any sample in the training set. Given such a sample as input, the output of a DNN will become meaningless. In this study, we investigated the in-distribution (IND) and out-of-distribution (OOD) adversarial robustness of a representative CNN for lumbar disk shape reconstruction from spine MR images. To study the relationship between dataset size and robustness to IND adversarial attacks, we used a data augmentation method to create training sets with different levels of shape variations. We utilized the PGD-based algorithm for IND adversarial attacks and extended it for OOD adversarial attacks to generate OOD adversarial samples for model testing. The results show that IND adversarial training can improve the CNN robustness to IND adversarial attacks, and larger training datasets may lead to higher IND robustness. However, it is still a challenge to defend against OOD adversarial attacks.

Compressive sensing (CS) is widely used to reduce the acquisition time of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although state-of-the-art deep learning based methods have been able to obtain fast, high-quality reconstruction of CS-MR images, their main d rawback is that they treat complex-valued MRI data as real-valued entities. Most methods either extract the magnitude from the complex-valued entities or concatenate them as two real-valued channels. In both the cases, the phase content, which links the real and imaginary parts of the complex-valued entities, is discarded. In order to address the fundamental problem of real-valued deep networks, i.e. their inability to process complex-valued data, we propose a novel framework based on a complex-valued generative adversarial network (Co-VeGAN). Our model can process complex-valued input, which enables it to perform high-quality reconstruction of the CS-MR images. Further, considering that phase is a crucial component of complex-valued entities, we propose a novel complex-valued activation function, which is sensitive to the phase of the input. Extensive evaluation of the proposed approach on different datasets using various sampling masks demonstrates that the proposed model significantly outperforms the existing CS-MRI reconstruction techniques in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio as well as structural similarity index. Further, it uses significantly fewer trainable parameters to do so, as compared to the real-valued deep learning based methods.
Cardiac MR image segmentation is essential for the morphological and functional analysis of the heart. Inspired by how experienced clinicians assess the cardiac morphology and function across multiple standard views (i.e. long- and short-axis views), we propose a novel approach which learns anatomical shape priors across different 2D standard views and leverages these priors to segment the left ventricular (LV) myocardium from short-axis MR image stacks. The proposed segmentation method has the advantage of being a 2D network but at the same time incorporates spatial context from multiple, complementary views that span a 3D space. Our method achieves accurate and robust segmentation of the myocardium across different short-axis slices (from apex to base), outperforming baseline models (e.g. 2D U-Net, 3D U-Net) while achieving higher data efficiency. Compared to the 2D U-Net, the proposed method reduces the mean Hausdorff distance (mm) from 3.24 to 2.49 on the apical slices, from 2.34 to 2.09 on the middle slices and from 3.62 to 2.76 on the basal slices on the test set, when only 10% of the training data was used.
Capturing visual image with a hyperspectral camera has been successfully applied to many areas due to its narrow-band imaging technology. Hyperspectral reconstruction from RGB images denotes a reverse process of hyperspectral imaging by discovering a n inverse response function. Current works mainly map RGB images directly to corresponding spectrum but do not consider context information explicitly. Moreover, the use of encoder-decoder pair in current algorithms leads to loss of information. To address these problems, we propose a 4-level Hierarchical Regression Network (HRNet) with PixelShuffle layer as inter-level interaction. Furthermore, we adopt a residual dense block to remove artifacts of real world RGB images and a residual global block to build attention mechanism for enlarging perceptive field. We evaluate proposed HRNet with other architectures and techniques by participating in NTIRE 2020 Challenge on Spectral Reconstruction from RGB Images. The HRNet is the winning method of track 2 - real world images and ranks 3rd on track 1 - clean images.

Lyme disease is one of the most common infectious vector-borne diseases in the world. In the early stage, the disease manifests itself in most cases with erythema migrans (EM) skin lesions. Better diagnosis of these early forms would allow improving the prognosis by preventing the transition to a severe late form thanks to appropriate antibiotic therapy. Recent studies show that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) perform very well to identify skin lesions from the image but, there is not much work for Lyme disease prediction from EM lesion images. The main objective of this study is to extensively analyze the effectiveness of CNNs for diagnosing Lyme disease from images and to find out the best CNN architecture for the purpose. There is no publicly available EM image dataset for Lyme disease prediction mainly because of privacy concerns. In this study, we utilized an EM dataset consisting of images collected from Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital Center (CF-CHU) of France and the internet. CF-CHU collected the images from several hospitals in France. This dataset was labeled by expert dermatologists and infectiologists from CF-CHU. First, we benchmarked this dataset for twenty-three well-known CNN architectures in terms of predictive performance metrics, computational complexity metrics, and statistical significance tests. Second, to improve the performance of the CNNs, we used transfer learning from ImageNet pre-trained models as well as pre-trained the CNNs with the skin lesion dataset Human Against Machine with 10000 training images (HAM1000). In that process, we searched for the best performing number of layers to unfreeze during transfer learning fine-tuning for each of the CNNs. Third, for model explainability, we utilized Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping to visualize the regions of input that are significant to the CNNs for making predictions. Fourth, we provided guidelines for model selection based on predictive performance and computational complexity. Our study confirmed the effectiveness and potential of even some lightweight CNNs to be used for Lyme disease pre-scanner mobile applications. We also made all the trained models publicly available at https://dappem.limos.fr/download.html, which can be used by others for transfer learning and building pre-scanners for Lyme disease.

Shape reconstruction of deformable organs from two-dimensional X-ray images is a key technology for image-guided intervention. In this paper, we propose an image-to-graph convolutional network (IGCN) for deformable shape reconstruction from a single- viewpoint projection image. The IGCN learns relationship between shape/deformation variability and the deep image features based on a deformation mapping scheme. In experiments targeted to the respiratory motion of abdominal organs, we confirmed the proposed framework with a regularized loss function can reconstruct liver shapes from a single digitally reconstructed radiograph with a mean distance error of 3.6mm.
