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.

Brain lesion volume measured on T2 weighted MRI images is a clinically important disease marker in multiple sclerosis (MS). Manual delineation of MS lesions is a time-consuming and highly operator-dependent task, which is influenced by lesion size, s
hape and conspicuity. Recently, automated lesion segmentation algorithms based on deep neural networks have been developed with promising results. In this paper, we propose a novel recurrent slice-wise attention network (RSANet), which models 3D MRI images as sequences of slices and captures long-range dependencies through a recurrent manner to utilize contextual information of MS lesions. Experiments on a dataset with 43 patients show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches. Our implementation is available online at https://github.com/tinymilky/RSANet.
Despite tremendous efforts, it is very challenging to generate a robust model to assist in the accurate quantification assessment of COVID-19 on chest CT images. Due to the nature of blurred boundaries, the supervised segmentation methods usually suf
fer from annotation biases. To support unbiased lesion localisation and to minimise the labeling costs, we propose a data-driven framework supervised by only image-level labels. The framework can explicitly separate potential lesions from original images, with the help of a generative adversarial network and a lesion-specific decoder. Experiments on two COVID-19 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework and its superior performance to several existing methods.
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.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a type of brain disease which causes visual, sensory, and motor problems for people with a detrimental effect on the functioning of the nervous system. In order to diagnose MS, multiple screening methods have been proposed
so far; among them, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has received considerable attention among physicians. MRI modalities provide physicians with fundamental information about the structure and function of the brain, which is crucial for the rapid diagnosis of MS lesions. Diagnosing MS using MRI is time-consuming, tedious, and prone to manual errors. Hence, computer aided diagnosis systems (CADS) based on artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been proposed in recent years for accurate diagnosis of MS using MRI neuroimaging modalities. In the AI field, automated MS diagnosis is being conducted using (i) conventional machine learning and (ii) deep learning (DL) techniques. The conventional machine learning approach is based on feature extraction and selection by trial and error. In DL, these steps are performed by the DL model itself. In this paper, a complete review of automated MS diagnosis methods performed using DL techniques with MRI neuroimaging modalities are discussed. Also, each work is thoroughly reviewed and discussed. Finally, the most important challenges and future directions in the automated MS diagnosis using DL techniques coupled with MRI modalities are presented in detail.
The automated detection of cortical lesions (CLs) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is a challenging task that, despite its clinical relevance, has received very little attention. Accurate detection of the small and scarce lesions requires spe
cialized sequences and high or ultra-high field MRI. For supervised training based on multimodal structural MRI at 7T, two experts generated ground truth segmentation masks of 60 patients with 2014 CLs. We implemented a simplified 3D U-Net with three resolution levels (3D U-Net-). By increasing the complexity of the task (adding brain tissue segmentation), while randomly dropping input channels during training, we improved the performance compared to the baseline. Considering a minimum lesion size of 0.75 {mu}L, we achieved a lesion-wise cortical lesion detection rate of 67% and a false positive rate of 42%. However, 393 (24%) of the lesions reported as false positives were post-hoc confirmed as potential or definite lesions by an expert. This indicates the potential of the proposed method to support experts in the tedious process of CL manual segmentation.
