• Authors: Huy Hoang Nguyen, Simo Saarakkala, Matthew B. Blaschko, Aleksei Tiulpin
• Abstract summary: In this paper, we formulate the prognosis prediction task as a one-to-many sequence prediction problem. Inspired by a clinical decision making process with two agents -- a radiologist and a general practitioner, we propose a generic end-to-end transformer-based framework. The effectiveness and validation of the developed method are shown on synthetic data, and in the task of predicting the development of structural osteoarthritic changes in knee joints.

• Abstract: A vast majority of deep learning methods are built to automate diagnostic tasks. However, in clinical practice, a more advanced question is how to predict the course of a disease. Current methods for this problem are complicated, and often require domain knowledge, making them difficult for practitioners to use. In this paper, we formulate the prognosis prediction task as a one-to-many sequence prediction problem. Inspired by a clinical decision making process with two agents -- a radiologist and a general practitioner -- we propose a generic end-to-end transformer-based framework to estimate disease prognosis from images and auxiliary data. The effectiveness and validation of the developed method are shown on synthetic data, and in the task of predicting the development of structural osteoarthritic changes in knee joints.

  The rapid development of diagnostic technologies in healthcare is leading to higher requirements for physicians to handle and integrate the heterogeneous, yet complementary data produced during routine practice. With the recent advances in multi-modal deep learning technologies, an increasingly large number of efforts have been devoted to a key question: how do we extract and aggregate multi-modal information to ultimately provide more objective, quantitative computer-aided clinical decision making? This review will include the (1) overview of current multi-modal learning, (2) summarization of multi-modal fusion methods, (3) discussion of the performance, (4) applications in disease diagnosis and prognosis, and (5) challenges and future
