• Title: Implicit field learning for unsupervised anomaly detection in medical images
• Authors: Sergio Naval Marimont and Giacomo Tarroni
• Abstract summary: An auto-decoder feed-forward neural network learns the distribution of healthy images in the form of a mapping between spatial coordinates and probabilities over a proxy for tissue types. Anomalies are localized using the voxel-wise probability predicted by our model for the restored image. We tested our approach in the task of unsupervised localization of gliomas on brain MR images and compared it to several other VAE-based anomaly detection methods.

• Abstract: We propose a novel unsupervised out-of-distribution detection method for medical images based on implicit fields image representations. In our approach, an auto-decoder feed-forward neural network learns the distribution of healthy images in the form of a mapping between spatial coordinates and probabilities over a proxy for tissue types. At inference time, the learnt distribution is used to retrieve, from a given test image, a restoration, i.e. an image maximally consistent with the input one but belonging to the healthy distribution. Anomalies are localized using the voxel-wise probability predicted by our model for the restored image. We tested our approach in the task of unsupervised localization of gliomas on brain MR images and compared it to several other VAE-based anomaly detection methods. Results show that the proposed technique substantially outperforms them (average DICE 0.640 vs 0.518 for the best performing VAE-based alternative) while also requiring considerably less computing time.

  We introduce a novel Spatial-aware Attention Generative Adrialversa Network (SAGAN) for one-class semi-supervised generation of health images. SAGAN generates high-quality health images corresponding to unlabeled data, guided by the reconstruction of normal images and restoration of pseudo-anomaly images. Extensive experiments on three medical datasets demonstrate that the proposed SAGAN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

  We propose a Difusion-based Anomaly Detection (DiAD) framework for multi-class anomaly detection.

  Anomaly detection is the process of identifying atypical data samples that significantly deviate from the majority of the dataset. We propose a new anomaly detection method based on diffusion ODEs by estimating the density of features extracted from medical images. Our proposed method not only identifie anomalies but also provides interpretability at both the image and pixel levels.
