• Abstract summary: Well-annotated medical images are costly and sometimes even impossible to acquire, hindering landmark detection accuracy to some extent. We propose a model-agnostic shape-regulated self-training framework for semi-supervised landmark detection. Our framework is flexible and can be used as a plug-and-play module integrated into most supervised methods to improve performance further.

• Abstract: Well-annotated medical images are costly and sometimes even impossible to acquire, hindering landmark detection accuracy to some extent. Semi-supervised learning alleviates the reliance on large-scale annotated data by exploiting the unlabeled data to understand the population structure of anatomical landmarks. The global shape constraint is the inherent property of anatomical landmarks that provides valuable guidance for more consistent pseudo labelling of the unlabeled data, which is ignored in the previously semi-supervised methods. In this paper, we propose a model-agnostic shape-regulated self-training framework for semi-supervised landmark detection by fully considering the global shape constraint. Specifically, to ensure pseudo labels are reliable and consistent, a PCA-based shape model adjusts pseudo labels and eliminate abnormal ones. A novel Region Attention loss to make the network automatically focus on the structure consistent regions around pseudo labels. Extensive experiments show that our approach outperforms other semi-supervised methods and achieves notable improvement on three medical image datasets. Moreover, our framework is flexible and can be used as a plug-and-play module integrated into most supervised methods to improve performance further.

  Deep learning (DL)-based rib fracture detection has shown promise of playing an important role in preventing mortality and improving patient outcome. DL-based object detection models requires a huge amount of bounding box annotation. Annotating medical data is time-consuming and expertise-demanding, making obtaining a large amount of fine-grained annotations extremely infeasible. We present a novel omni-supervised object detection network, ORF-Netv2, to leverage as much available supervision as possible.

  Semi-supervised learning has substantially advanced medical image segmentation since it alleviates the heavy burden of acquiring the costly expert-examined annotations.

Our framework turns previous textit"unsupervised" consistency into new textit"supervised" consistency, obtaining the textit"all-around real label supervision" property of our method.
