• Abstract: In this work we examine the performance enhancement in classification of medical imaging data when image features are combined with associated non-image data. We compare the performance of eight state-of-the-art deep neural networks in classification tasks when using only image features, compared to when these are combined with patient metadata. We utilise transfer learning with networks pretrained on ImageNet used directly as feature extractors and fine tuned on the target domain. Our experiments show that performance can be significantly enhanced with the inclusion of metadata and use interpretability methods to identify which features lead to these enhancements. Furthermore, our results indicate that the performance enhancement for natural medical imaging (e.g. optical images) benefit most from direct use of pre-trained models, whereas non natural images (e.g. representations of non imaging data) benefit most from fine tuning pre-trained networks. These enhancements come at a negligible additional cost in computation time, and therefore is a practical method for other applications.

  This paper investigates the intricacies of using pretrained deep convolutional neural networks with transfer learning across diverse medical imaging datasets. It shows that the use of pretrained models as fixed feature extractors yields poor performance irrespective of the datasets. It is also found that deeper and more complex architectures did not necessarily result in the best performance.
