• Abstract summary: We demonstrate an unsupervised learning framework for pixel-wise abnormality detection in brain magnetic resonance imaging. Our concept is as follows: If an image reconstruction network can faithfully reproduce the global features of normal anatomy, then the abnormal lesions in unseen images can be identified. The results show that the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve values for metastatic brain tumors, extracranial metastatic tumors, postoperative cavities, and structural changes are 0.78, 0.61, 0.91, and 0.60, respectively.

• Abstract: In real-world clinical practice, overlooking unanticipated findings can result in serious consequences. However, supervised learning, which is the foundation for the current success of deep learning, only encourages models to identify abnormalities that are defined in datasets in advance. Therefore, abnormality detection must be implemented in medical images that are not limited to a specific disease category. In this study, we demonstrate an unsupervised learning framework for pixel-wise abnormality detection in brain magnetic resonance imaging captured from a patient population with metastatic brain tumor. Our concept is as follows: If an image reconstruction network can faithfully reproduce the global features of normal anatomy, then the abnormal lesions in unseen images can be identified based on the local difference from those reconstructed as normal by a discriminative network. Both networks are trained on a dataset comprising only normal images without labels. In addition, we devise a metric to evaluate the anatomical fidelity of the reconstructed images and confirm that the overall detection performance is improved when the image reconstruction network achieves a higher score. For evaluation, clinically significant abnormalities are comprehensively segmented. The results show that the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve values for metastatic brain tumors, extracranial metastatic tumors, postoperative cavities, and structural changes are 0.78, 0.61, 0.91, and 0.60, respectively.

  We introduce a novel Spatial-aware Attention Generative Adrialversa Network (SAGAN) for one-class semi-supervised generation of health images. SAGAN generates high-quality health images corresponding to unlabeled data, guided by the reconstruction of normal images and restoration of pseudo-anomaly images. Extensive experiments on three medical datasets demonstrate that the proposed SAGAN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

  glaucoma is challenging to detect since it remains asymptomatic until the symptoms are severe. Early identification of glaucoma is generally made based on functional, structural, and clinical assessments. Deep learning methods have partially solved this dilemma by bypassing the marker identification stage and analyzing high-level information directly to classify the data.

  Anomaly detection for Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) can be solved with unsupervised methods. We have proposed a slice-wise semi-supervised method for tumour detection based on the computation of a dissimilarity function in the latent space of a Variational AutoEncoder. We show that by training the models on higher resolution images and by improving the quality of the reconstructions, we obtain results which are comparable with different baselines.

We argue that this approach is essential to account for the inherent ambiguity characteristic of medical images from different radiologic exams. In our experiments we demonstrate that sample rejection based on the predicted uncertainty can significantly improve the ROC-AUC for various tasks.
