• Abstract: This proof of concept (PoC) assesses the ability of machine learning (ML) classifiers to predict the presence of a stenosis in a three vessel arterial system consisting of the abdominal aorta bifurcating into the two common iliacs. A virtual patient database (VPD) is created using one-dimensional pulse wave propagation model of haemodynamics. Four different machine learning (ML) methods are used to train and test a series of classifiers -- both binary and multiclass -- to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy virtual patients (VPs) using different combinations of pressure and flow-rate measurements. It is found that the ML classifiers achieve specificities larger than 80% and sensitivities ranging from 50-75%. The most balanced classifier also achieves an area under the receiver operative characteristic curve of 0.75, outperforming approximately 20 methods used in clinical practice, and thus placing the method as moderately accurate. Other important observations from this study are that: i) few measurements can provide similar classification accuracies compared to the case when more/all the measurements are used; ii) some measurements are more informative than others for classification; and iii) a modification of standard methods can result in detection of not only the presence of stenosis, but also the stenosed vessel.

  This paper aims to study a deep learning method based on cardiac ultrasound video to assist in atrial septal defect diagnosis. We select two standard views of the atrial septum (subAS) and low parasternal four-compartment view (LPS4C) as the two views to identify ASD. For ASD detection, we achieve 89.33 AUC, 84.95 accuracy, 85.70 sensitivity, 81.51 specificity and 81.99 F1 score.

• Learning to diagnose cirrhosis from radiological and histological labels with joint self and weakly-supervised pretraining strategies [62.840338941861134]
  We propose to leverage transfer learning from large datasets annotated by radiologists, to predict the histological score available on a small annex dataset. We compare different pretraining methods, namely weakly-supervised and self-supervised ones, to improve the prediction of the cirrhosis. This method outperforms the baseline classification of the METAVIR score, reaching an AUC of 0.84 and a balanced accuracy of 0.75.

  We developed a self-supervised contrastive learning approach, EchoCLR, to catered to echocardiogram videos. When fine-tuned on small portions of labeled data, EchoCLR pretraining significantly improved classification performance for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and aortic stenosis (AS) EchoCLR is unique in its ability to learn representations of medical videos and demonstrates that SSL can enable label-efficient disease classification from small, labeled datasets.

  Unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) can learn a data distribution from an unlabelled dataset of healthy subjects and then be applied to detect out of distribution samples. This research proposes a compact version of the "context-encoding" VAE (ceVAE) model, combined with pre and post-processing steps, creating a UAD pipeline (StRegA) The proposed pipeline achieved a Dice score of 0.642$pm$0.101 while detecting tumours in T2w images of the BraTS dataset and 0.859$pm$0.112 while detecting artificially induced anomalies.

  Collateral circulation results from specialized anastomotic channels which provide oxygenated blood to regions with compromised blood flow. The actual grading is mostly done through manual inspection of the acquired images. We present a deep learning approach to predicting collateral flow grading in stroke patients based on radiomic features extracted from MR perfusion data.

Overall, the 3D+2D CNN achieved a mean absolute error between 2.2-2.4 mm depending on the considered aortic location.

• CT-based COVID-19 Triage: Deep Multitask Learning Improves Joint Identification and Severity Quantification [45.86448200141968]
  We describe two basic setups: Identification of COVID-19 to prioritize studies of potentially infected patients to isolate them as early as possible; Severity quantification to highlight studies of severe patients and direct them to a hospital or provide emergency medical care. We propose a multitask approach to consolidate both triage approaches and propose a convolutional neural network to combine all available labels within a single model. We train our model on approximately 2000 publicly available CT studies and test it with a carefully designed set consisting of 32 COVID-19 studies, 30 cases with bacterial pneumonia, 31 healthy patients, and 30 patients with other lung pathologies to emulate a typical patient flow in
