• Authors: Ricardo Bigolin Lanfredi, Joyce D. Schroeder, Clement Vachet, Tolga Tasdizen
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel method for formulating and presenting spatial explanations of disease evidence. An adversarially trained generator produces deformation fields that modify images of diseased patients to resemble images of healthy patients. We validate the method studying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) evidence in chest x-rays (CXRs) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) evidence in brain MRIs.

• Abstract: The high complexity of deep learning models is associated with the difficulty of explaining what evidence they recognize as correlating with specific disease labels. This information is critical for building trust in models and finding their biases. Until now, automated deep learning visualization solutions have identified regions of images used by classifiers, but these solutions are too coarse, too noisy, or have a limited representation of the way images can change. We propose a novel method for formulating and presenting spatial explanations of disease evidence, called deformation field interpretation with generative adversarial networks (DeFI-GAN). An adversarially trained generator produces deformation fields that modify images of diseased patients to resemble images of healthy patients. We validate the method studying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) evidence in chest x-rays (CXRs) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) evidence in brain MRIs. When extracting disease evidence in longitudinal data, we show compelling results against a baseline producing difference maps. DeFI-GAN also highlights disease biomarkers not found by previous methods and potential biases that may help in investigations of the dataset and of the adopted learning methods.

  Ophthalmic images may contain identical-looking pathologies that can cause failure in automated techniques to distinguish different retinal degenerative diseases. In this work, we propose a robust disease detection architecture with three learning heads. Our experimental results on two publicly available OCT datasets illustrate that the proposed model outperforms existing state-of-the-art models in terms of accuracy, interpretability, and robustness for out-of-distribution retinal disease detection.

  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.
