• Abstract: Cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has become the gold standard for the non-invasive evaluation of cardiac function. In particular, it allows the accurate quantification of functional parameters including the chamber volumes and ejection fraction. Deep learning has shown the potential to automate the requisite cardiac structure segmentation. However, the lack of robustness of deep learning models has hindered their widespread clinical adoption. Due to differences in the data characteristics, neural networks trained on data from a specific scanner are not guaranteed to generalise well to data acquired at a different centre or with a different scanner. In this work, we propose a principled solution to the problem of this domain shift. Domain-adversarial learning is used to train a domain-invariant 2D U-Net using labelled and unlabelled data. This approach is evaluated on both seen and unseen domains from the M\&Ms challenge dataset and the domain-adversarial approach shows improved performance as compared to standard training. Additionally, we show that the domain information cannot be recovered from the learned features.

  This work proposes the Curriculum-based Augmented Fourier Domain Adaptation (Curri-AFDA) for robust medical image segmentation. In particular, our curriculum learning strategy is based on the causal relationship of a model under different levels of data shift. Experiments on two segmentation tasks of Retina and Nuclei collected from multiple sites and scanners suggest that our proposed method yields superior adaptation and generalization performance.

  Early and accurate severity assessment of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on computed tomography (CT) images offers a great help to the estimation of intensive care unit event. To augment the labeled data and improve the generalization ability of the classification model, it is necessary to aggregate data from multiple sites. This task faces several challenges including class imbalance between mild and severe infections, domain distribution discrepancy between sites, and presence of heterogeneous features.

  We propose a new extended Dice to evaluate segmentation performance when multiple accepted ground truth is available.

Experiment results on our clinical MCE data set demonstrate that the neural network trained with the proposed loss function outperforms those existing ones.

  Heterogeneity in medical imaging data is often tackled, in the context of machine learning, using domain invariance. This paper instead embraces the heterogeneity and treats it as a multi-task learning problem. We show that this approach improves classification accuracy by 5-30 % across different datasets on the main classification tasks.
