• Abstract summary: We propose an automated method to compute the cardiothoracic ratio and detect the presence of cardiomegaly from chest radiographs. We develop two separate models to demarcate the heart and chest regions in an X-ray image using bounding boxes and use their outputs to calculate the cardiothoracic ratio.

• Abstract: We propose an automated method based on deep learning to compute the cardiothoracic ratio and detect the presence of cardiomegaly from chest radiographs. We develop two separate models to demarcate the heart and chest regions in an X-ray image using bounding boxes and use their outputs to calculate the cardiothoracic ratio. We obtain a sensitivity of 0.96 at a specificity of 0.81 with a mean absolute error of 0.0209 on a held-out test dataset and a sensitivity of 0.84 at a specificity of 0.97 with a mean absolute error of 0.018 on an independent dataset from a different hospital. We also compare three different segmentation model architectures for the proposed method and observe that Attention U-Net yields better results than SE-Resnext U-Net and EfficientNet U-Net. By providing a numeric measurement of the cardiothoracic ratio, we hope to mitigate human subjectivity arising out of visual assessment in the detection of cardiomegaly.

  To investigate chest radiograph (CXR) classification performance of vision transformers (ViT) and interpretability of attention-based saliency. ViTs were fine-tuned for lung disease classification using four public data sets: CheXpert, Chest X-Ray 14, MIMIC CXR, and VinBigData. ViTs had comparable CXR classification AUCs compared with state-of-the-art CNNs.

  Anomaly detection for Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) can be solved with unsupervised methods. We have proposed a slice-wise semi-supervised method for tumour detection based on the computation of a dissimilarity function in the latent space of a Variational AutoEncoder. We show that by training the models on higher resolution images and by improving the quality of the reconstructions, we obtain results which are comparable with different baselines.

The performance analysis of the proposed ensemble model in the basal and middle slices was similar as compared to intra-observer study and slightly lower at apical slices.
