• Abstract summary: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained significant popularity in orthopedic imaging in recent years due to their ability to solve fracture classification problems. A common criticism of CNNs is their opaque learning and reasoning process, making it difficult to trust machine diagnosis and the subsequent adoption of such algorithms in clinical setting. This paper explores the effectiveness of regularizing CNN network with human-provided attention guidance on where in the image the network should look for answering clues.

• Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained significant popularity in orthopedic imaging in recent years due to their ability to solve fracture classification problems. A common criticism of CNNs is their opaque learning and reasoning process, making it difficult to trust machine diagnosis and the subsequent adoption of such algorithms in clinical setting. This is especially true when the CNN is trained with limited amount of medical data, which is a common issue as curating sufficiently large amount of annotated medical imaging data is a long and costly process. While interest has been devoted to explaining CNN learnt knowledge by visualizing network attention, the utilization of the visualized attention to improve network learning has been rarely investigated. This paper explores the effectiveness of regularizing CNN network with human-provided attention guidance on where in the image the network should look for answering clues. On two orthopedics radiographic fracture classification datasets, through extensive experiments we demonstrate that explicit human-guided attention indeed can direct correct network attention and consequently significantly improve classification performance. The development code for the proposed attention guidance is publicly available on GitHub.

  We propose a framework named textbfClass textbfAttention to textbfREgions of the lesion (CARE) to handle data imbalance issues. The CARE framework needs bounding boxes to represent the lesion regions of rare diseases. Results show that the CARE variants with automated bounding box generation are comparable to the original CARE framework.

  Vision Transformers (ViTs) have not been applied to this task despite their high classification performance on generic images. ViTs do not rely on convolutions but on patch-based self-attention and in contrast to CNNs, no prior knowledge of local connectivity is present. Our results show that while the performance between ViTs and CNNs is on par with a small benefit for ViTs, DeiTs outperform the former if a reasonably large data set is available for training.

  This paper describes a gaze-guided class activation mapping (GG-CAM) method to directly regulate the formation of network attention. GG-CAM is a lightweight ($3$ additional trainable parameters for regulating the learning process) and generic extension that can be easily applied to most classification convolutional neural networks (CNN) Comparative experiments suggest that two standard CNNs with the GG-CAM extension achieve significantly greater classification performance.

It reduced the model size to around 15 times smaller with close or even better accuracy compared with state-of-the-art DeepLabv3+.

As the amount of information in the feature maps increases during training, the network is able to progressively learn better representations of the data.
