• Abstract summary: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver diseases (CLD) which can progress to liver cancer. Current methods to predict the fibrosis and NAS scores from noninvasive CT images rely heavily on either a large annotated dataset or transfer learning. In this work, we propose a self-supervised learning method to address both problems.

• Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver diseases (CLD) which can progress to liver cancer. The severity and treatment of NAFLD is determined by NAFLD Activity Scores (NAS)and liver fibrosis stage, which are usually obtained from liver biopsy. However, biopsy is invasive in nature and involves risk of procedural complications. Current methods to predict the fibrosis and NAS scores from noninvasive CT images rely heavily on either a large annotated dataset or transfer learning using pretrained networks. However, the availability of a large annotated dataset cannot be always ensured andthere can be domain shifts when using transfer learning. In this work, we propose a self-supervised learning method to address both problems. As the NAFLD causes changes in the liver texture, we also propose to use texture encoded inputs to improve the performance of the model. Given a relatively small dataset with 30 patients, we employ a self-supervised network which achieves better performance than a network trained via transfer learning. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/ananyajana/fibrosis_code.

  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.
