• Abstract summary: We present a novel deep learning approach for lung segmentation, a basic, but arduous task in the diagnostic pipeline. Our method uses state-of-the-art fully convolutional neural networks in conjunction with an adversarial critic model. It generalized well to CXR images of unseen datasets with different patient profiles, achieving a final DSCR of 97.5% on the JSRT dataset.

• Abstract: Chest X-ray is the most common test among medical imaging modalities. It is applied for detection and differentiation of, among others, lung cancer, tuberculosis, and pneumonia, the last with importance due to the COVID-19 disease. Integrating computer-aided detection methods into the radiologist diagnostic pipeline, greatly reduces the doctors' workload, increasing reliability and quantitative analysis. Here we present a novel deep learning approach for lung segmentation, a basic, but arduous task in the diagnostic pipeline. Our method uses state-of-the-art fully convolutional neural networks in conjunction with an adversarial critic model. It generalized well to CXR images of unseen datasets with different patient profiles, achieving a final DSC of 97.5% on the JSRT dataset.

  During the COVID-19 pandemic, the sheer volume of imaging performed in an emergency setting for COVID-19 diagnosis has resulted in a wide variability of clinical CXR acquisitions. The variable quality of clinically-acquired CXRs within publicly available datasets could have a profound effect on algorithm performance. We propose a simple and effective step-wise approach to pre-processing a COVID-19 chest X-ray dataset to remove undesired biases.

  We propose a deep learning approach to enhance abnormal chest x-ray (CXR) identification performance through segmentations. Our approach is designed in a cascaded manner and incorporates two modules: a deep neural network with criss-cross attention modules (XLSor) for localizing lung region in CXR images and a CXR classification model with a backbone of a self-supervised momentum contrast (MoCo) model pre-trained on large-scale CXR data sets.

  A chest radiograph, commonly called chest x-ray (CxR), plays a vital role in the diagnosis of various lung diseases. Precise lung segmentation is extremely challenging because of variance in the shape of the lung caused by health issues, age, and gender. The proposed work investigates the use of an efficient deep convolutional neural network for accurate segmentation of lungs from CxR.

  We show that a deep learning model performing well when tested on the same dataset as training data starts to perform poorly when it is tested on a dataset from a different source. By employing an adversarial training strategy, we show that a network can be forced to learn a source-invariant representation.
