• Abstract summary: We propose a fully-automatic computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) solution for liver lesion characterization. We enroll 400 patients who had either liver resection or a biopsy and was diagnosed with either liver carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or secondary metastasis. We propose a fully-automatic deep CAD pipeline that localizes lesions from 3D MRI studies using key-slice parsing and provides a confidence measure for its diagnoses.

• Abstract: Objectives: to propose a fully-automatic computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) solution for liver lesion characterization, with uncertainty estimation. Methods: we enrolled 400 patients who had either liver resection or a biopsy and was diagnosed with either hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or secondary metastasis, from 2006 to 2019. Each patient was scanned with T1WI, T2WI, T1WI venous phase (T2WI-V), T1WI arterial phase (T1WI-A), and DWI MRI sequences. We propose a fully-automatic deep CAD pipeline that localizes lesions from 3D MRI studies using key-slice parsing and provides a confidence measure for its diagnoses. We evaluate using five-fold cross validation and compare performance against three radiologists, including a senior hepatology radiologist, a junior hepatology radiologist and an abdominal radiologist. Results: the proposed CAD solution achieves a mean F1 score of 0.62, outperforming the abdominal radiologist (0.47), matching the junior hepatology radiologist (0.61), and underperforming the senior hepatology radiologist (0.68). The CAD system can informatively assess its diagnostic confidence, i.e., when only evaluating on the 70% most confident cases the mean f1 score and sensitivity at 80% specificity for HCC vs. others are boosted from 0.62 to 0.71 and 0.84 to 0.92, respectively. Conclusion: the proposed fully-automatic CAD solution can provide good diagnostic performance with informative confidence assessments in finding and discriminating liver lesions from MRI studies.

  We hypothesized that using radiomics and machine learning (ML), metastases at high risk for subsequent progression could be identified during follow-up prior to the onset of significant tumor growth. The classification is realized via the maximum-relevance minimal-redundancy (MRMR) technique and support vector machines (SVM) The results indicate that risk stratification of BM based on radiomics and machine learning during post-SRT follow-up is possible with good accuracy and should be further pursued to personalize and improve post-SRT follow-up.

  We propose to leverage transfer learning from large datasets annotated by radiologists, to predict the histological score available on a small annex dataset. We compare different pretraining methods, namely weakly-supervised and self-supervised ones, to improve the prediction of the cirrhosis. This method outperforms the baseline classification of the METAVIR score, reaching an AUC of 0.84 and a balanced accuracy of 0.75.
