• Authors: Maximilian E. Tschuchnig and Michael Gadermayr
• Abstract summary: This paper uses a semi-exhaustive literature review of relevant anomaly detection papers in medical imaging to cluster into applications. The main results showed that the current research is mostly motivated by reducing the need for labelled data. Also, the successful and substantial amount of research in the brain MRI domain shows the potential for applications in further domains like OCT and chest X-ray.

• Abstract: The increasing digitization of medical imaging enables machine learning based improvements in detecting, visualizing and segmenting lesions, easing the workload for medical experts. However, supervised machine learning requires reliable labelled data, which is is often difficult or impossible to collect or at least time consuming and thereby costly. Therefore methods requiring only partly labeled data (semi-supervised) or no labeling at all (unsupervised methods) have been applied more regularly. Anomaly detection is one possible methodology that is able to leverage semi-supervised and unsupervised methods to handle medical imaging tasks like classification and segmentation. This paper uses a semi-exhaustive literature review of relevant anomaly detection papers in medical imaging to cluster into applications, highlight important results, establish lessons learned and give further advice on how to approach anomaly detection in medical imaging. The qualitative analysis is based on google scholar and 4 different search terms, resulting in 120 different analysed papers. The main results showed that the current research is mostly motivated by reducing the need for labelled data. Also, the successful and substantial amount of research in the brain MRI domain shows the potential for applications in further domains like OCT and chest X-ray.

• Weakly Supervised Learning Significantly Reduces the Number of Labels Required for Intracranial Hemorrhage Detection on Head CT [7.713240800142863]
  Machine learning pipelines, in particular those based on deep learning (DL) models, require large amounts of labeled data. This work studies the question of what kind of labels should be collected for the problem of intracranial hemorrhage detection in brain CT. We find that strong supervision (i.e., learning with local image-level annotations) and weak supervision (i.e., learning with only global examination-level labels) achieve comparable performance.

  We conducted a Systematic Literature Review to identify the state-of-art of computer vision techniques currently applied to cytology. The most used methods in the analyzed works are deep learning-based (70 papers), while fewer works employ classic computer vision only (101 papers) We conclude that there still is a lack of high-quality datasets for many types of stains and most of the works are not mature enough to be applied in a daily clinical diagnostic routine.

  We seek to exploit rich labeled data from relevant domains to help the learning in the target task via Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) Unlike most UDA methods that rely on clean labeled data or assume samples are equally transferable, we innovatively propose a Collaborative Unsupervised Domain Adaptation algorithm. We theoretically analyze the generalization performance of the proposed method, and also empirically evaluate it on both medical and general images.
