• Authors: John Kalkhof, Camila Gonz\'alez, Anirban Mukhopadhyay
• Abstract summary: Limited amount of labelled training data are a common problem in medical imaging. This makes it difficult to train a well-generalised model and often leads to failure in unknown domains. We address this issue by disentangling a T1-weighted MRI image into its content and domain.

• Abstract: Limited amount of labelled training data are a common problem in medical imaging. This makes it difficult to train a well-generalised model and therefore often leads to failure in unknown domains. Hippocampus segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans is critical for the diagnosis and treatment of neuropsychatric disorders. Domain differences in contrast or shape can significantly affect segmentation. We address this issue by disentangling a T1-weighted MRI image into its content and domain. This separation enables us to perform a domain transfer and thus convert data from new sources into the training domain. This step thus simplifies the segmentation problem, resulting in higher quality segmentations. We achieve the disentanglement with the proposed novel methodology 'Content Domain Disentanglement GAN', and we propose to retrain the UNet on the transformed outputs to deal with GAN-specific artefacts. With these changes, we are able to improve performance on unseen domains by 6-13% and outperform state-of-the-art domain transfer methods.

  Generative Domain Adaptation (GDA) involves transferring a pre-trained generator from one domain to a new domain using only a few reference images. Inspired by the way human brains acquire knowledge in new domains, we present an innovative generator structure called Domain Re-Modulation (DoRM) DoRM not only meets the criteria of high quality, large synthesis diversity, and cross-domain consistency, but also incorporates memory and domain association.

  We propose a simple data augmentation approach to expose a segmentation model to synthesized domain-shifted training examples. Specifically, 1) to make the deep model robust to discrepancies in image intensities and textures, we employ a family of randomly-weighted shallow networks. We remove spurious correlations among objects in an image that might be taken by the network as domain-specific clues for making predictions, and they may break on unseen domains.
