• Abstract summary: Deep learning has been used to automatically interpret medical images to improve diagnostic accuracy and speed. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate whether deep learning applied to the interpretation of knee MRI images can be utilized to identify cartilage defects accurately. We developed three convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to analyze the MRI images and implemented image-specific saliency maps to visualize the CNNs' decision-making process.

• Abstract: Background: MRI is the modality of choice for cartilage imaging; however, its diagnostic performance is variable and significantly lower than the gold standard diagnostic knee arthroscopy. In recent years, deep learning has been used to automatically interpret medical images to improve diagnostic accuracy and speed. Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate whether deep learning applied to the interpretation of knee MRI images can be utilized to identify cartilage defects accurately. Methods: We analyzed data from patients who underwent knee MRI evaluation and consequently had arthroscopic knee surgery (207 with cartilage defect, 90 without cartilage defect). Patients' arthroscopic findings were compared to preoperative MRI images to verify the presence or absence of isolated tibiofemoral cartilage defects. We developed three convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to analyze the MRI images and implemented image-specific saliency maps to visualize the CNNs' decision-making process. To compare the CNNs' performance against human interpretation, the same test dataset images were provided to an experienced orthopaedic surgeon and an orthopaedic resident. Results: Saliency maps demonstrated that the CNNs learned to focus on the clinically relevant areas of the tibiofemoral articular cartilage on MRI images during the decision-making processes. One CNN achieved higher performance than the orthopaedic surgeon, with two more accurate diagnoses made by the CNN. All the CNNs outperformed the orthopaedic resident. Conclusion: CNN can be used to enhance the diagnostic performance of MRI in identifying isolated tibiofemoral cartilage defects and may replace diagnostic knee arthroscopy in certain cases in the future.

  Compressed Sensing MRI reconstructs images of the body's internal anatomy from undersampled and compressed measurements. Deep neural networks have shown great potential for reconstructing high-quality images from highly undersampled measurements. We propose a unified model that is robust to different subsampling patterns and image resolutions in CS-MRI.

  Off-resonance artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are visual distortions that occur when the actual resonant frequencies of spins within the imaging volume differ from the expected frequencies used to encode spatial information. We propose to resolve these artifacts by lifting the 2D MRI reconstruction problem to 3D, introducing an additional "spectral" dimension to model this off-resonance.

  We propose the structure regularized network attentive (SRANet) to highlight the necrotic regions during classification based on patch attention. SRANet extracts features in chunks of images, obtains weight via the attention mechanism to aggregate the features, and constrains them by a structural regularizer with prior knowledge to improve the generalization. Experimental results show that SRANet is superior to CNNs for AVNFH classification, moreover, it can localize lesions and provide more information to assist doctors in diagnosis.

  We propose a weakly-supervised deep learning framework that preserves the rigidity and the volume of each vertebra while maximizing the accuracy of the registration. We specifically design these losses to depend only on the CT label maps since automatic vertebra segmentation in CT gives more accurate results contrary to MRI. Our results show that adding the anatomy-aware losses increases the plausibility of the inferred transformation while keeping the accuracy untouched.
