• Title: Privacy Preserving for Medical Image Analysis via Non-Linear Deformation Proxy
• Abstract summary: We propose a client-server system which allows for the analysis of multi-centric medical images. In our approach, the client protects the patient identity by applying a pseudo-random non-linear deformation to the input image. The server then returns back the deformed processed image which the client reverts to a canonical form.

• Abstract: We propose a client-server system which allows for the analysis of multi-centric medical images while preserving patient identity. In our approach, the client protects the patient identity by applying a pseudo-random non-linear deformation to the input image. This results into a proxy image which is sent to the server for processing. The server then returns back the deformed processed image which the client reverts to a canonical form. Our system has three components: 1) a flow-field generator which produces a pseudo-random deformation function, 2) a Siamese discriminator that learns the patient identity from the processed image, 3) a medical image processing network that analyzes the content of the proxy images. The system is trained end-to-end in an adversarial manner. By fooling the discriminator, the flow-field generator learns to produce a bi-directional non-linear deformation which allows to remove and recover the identity of the subject from both the input image and output result. After end-to-end training, the flow-field generator is deployed on the client side and the segmentation network is deployed on the server side. The proposed method is validated on the task of MRI brain segmentation using images from two different datasets. Results show that the segmentation accuracy of our method is similar to a system trained on non-encoded images, while considerably reducing the ability to recover subject identity.

  This work presents an end-to-end deep learning framework for transforming raw clinical image volumes into de-identified, analysis-ready datasets.<n>The methodology first detects and redacts regions likely to contain protected health information (PHI), such as burned-in text and metadata, and then uses a generative deep learning model to inpaint the redacted areas.<n>We evaluate the approach using both privacy-oriented metrics, which quantify residual PHI and success of redaction, and image-quality and task-based metrics, which assess the fidelity of restored volumes.

  Federated Learning (FL) offers a privacy-preserving approach to train models on decentralized data. Cross-Client Variations Adaptive Federated Learning (CCVA-FL) aims to minimize cross-client variations by transforming images into a common feature space. Our results demonstrate that CCVA-FL outperforms Vanilla Federated Averaging by effectively addressing data distribution differences across clients without compromising privacy.

• Anonymizing medical case-based explanations through disentanglement [4.006745047019996]
  We propose a novel method for disentangling identity and medical characteristics of images and apply it to anonymize medical images. The disentanglement mechanism replaces some feature vectors in an image while ensuring that the remaining features are preserved. We also propose a model to manufacture synthetic privacy-preserving identities to replace the original image's identity and achieve anonymization.
