• Title: Modelling brain lesion volume in patches with CNN-based Poisson Regression
• Authors: Kevin Raina
• Abstract summary: In this work, an efficient, computationally inexpensive CNN is implemented to estimate the number of lesion voxels in a predefined patch size from magnetic resonance (MR) images. The ISLES2015 (SISS) data is used to train and evaluate the model, which by estimating lesion volume from raw features, accurately identified the lesion image with the larger lesion volume for 86% of paired sample patches.

• Abstract: Monitoring the progression of lesions is important for clinical response. Summary statistics such as lesion volume are objective and easy to interpret, which can help clinicians assess lesion growth or decay. CNNs are commonly used in medical image segmentation for their ability to produce useful features within large contexts and their associated efficient iterative patch-based training. Many CNN architectures require hundreds of thousands parameters to yield a good segmentation. In this work, an efficient, computationally inexpensive CNN is implemented to estimate the number of lesion voxels in a predefined patch size from magnetic resonance (MR) images. The output of the CNN is interpreted as the conditional Poisson parameter over the patch, allowing standard mini-batch gradient descent to be employed. The ISLES2015 (SISS) data is used to train and evaluate the model, which by estimating lesion volume from raw features, accurately identified the lesion image with the larger lesion volume for 86% of paired sample patches. An argument for the development and use of estimating lesion volumes to also aid in model selection for segmentation is made.

  In clinical dermatology, classification models can detect malignant lesions on patients' skin using only RGB images as input. Most learning-based methods employ data acquired from dermoscopic datasets on training, which are large and validated by a gold standard. This work aims to evaluate the gap between dermoscopic and clinical samples and understand how the dataset variations impact training.

  Vision Transformers (ViTs) have not been applied to this task despite their high classification performance on generic images. ViTs do not rely on convolutions but on patch-based self-attention and in contrast to CNNs, no prior knowledge of local connectivity is present. Our results show that while the performance between ViTs and CNNs is on par with a small benefit for ViTs, DeiTs outperform the former if a reasonably large data set is available for training.

  Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown to provide excellent results regarding the segmentation of blood vessels. Yet, it is still unclear if pre-trained CNNs can provide robust, unbiased, results on downstream tasks when applied to datasets that they were not trained on. We show that the tortuosity values obtained by a CNN trained from scratch on a dataset may not agree with those obtained by a fine-tuned network that was pre-trained on a dataset having different tortuosity statistics.
