• Abstract summary: We introduce a principled deep convolutional neural network (CNN) workflow that incorporates several innovations. First, to avoid overfitting on non-relevant image features, we force the network to focus on a clinical region of interest. Second, we introduce global heteroimage fusion (GHIF), which allows the CNN to fuse features from any arbitrary number of images in a study.

• Abstract: Ultrasound (US) is a critical modality for diagnosing liver fibrosis. Unfortunately, assessment is very subjective, motivating automated approaches. We introduce a principled deep convolutional neural network (CNN) workflow that incorporates several innovations. First, to avoid overfitting on non-relevant image features, we force the network to focus on a clinical region of interest (ROI), encompassing the liver parenchyma and upper border. Second, we introduce global heteroimage fusion (GHIF), which allows the CNN to fuse features from any arbitrary number of images in a study, increasing its versatility and flexibility. Finally, we use 'style'-based view-specific parameterization (VSP) to tailor the CNN processing for different viewpoints of the liver, while keeping the majority of parameters the same across views. Experiments on a dataset of 610 patient studies (6979 images) demonstrate that our pipeline can contribute roughly 7% and 22% improvements in partial area under the curve and recall at 90% precision, respectively, over conventional classifiers, validating our approach to this crucial problem.

  Capturing global contextual information plays a critical role in breast ultrasound (BUS) image classification. Vision Transformers have an improved capability of capturing global contextual information but may distort the local image patterns due to the tokenization operations. In this study, we proposed a hybrid multitask deep neural network called Hybrid-MT-ESTAN, designed to perform BUS tumor classification and segmentation.
