• Abstract: Chest radiographs are used for the diagnosis of multiple critical illnesses (e.g., Pneumonia, heart failure, lung cancer), for this reason, systems for the automatic or semi-automatic analysis of these data are of particular interest. An efficient analysis of large amounts of chest radiographs can aid physicians and radiologists, ultimately allowing for better medical care of lung-, heart- and chest-related conditions. We propose a novel Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)-based method for the efficient identification and encoding of visual information that is typically lost in the down-sampling of high-resolution radiographs, a common step in computer-aided diagnostic pipelines. Our proposed approach requires only slight modifications to the input of existing state-of-the-art Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), making it easily applicable to existing image classification frameworks. We show that the extra high-frequency components offered by our method increased the classification performance of several CNNs in benchmarks employing the NIH Chest-8 and ImageNet-2017 datasets. Based on our results we hypothesize that providing frequency-specific coefficients allows the CNNs to specialize in the identification of structures that are particular to a frequency band, ultimately increasing classification performance, without an increase in computational load. The implementation of our work is available at github.com/DeclanMcIntosh/LeGallCuda.

  Medical image segmentation aims to identify and locate abnormal structures in medical images, such as chest radiographs, using deep neural networks. Our work collects explanations from well-trained classifiers to generate pseudo labels of segmentation tasks. We then use Integrated Gradients (IG) method to distill and boost the explanations obtained from the classifiers, generating massive diagnosis-oriented localization labels (DoLL) These DoLL-annotated images are used for pre-training the model before fine-tuning it for downstream segmentation tasks, including COVID-19 infectious areas, lungs, heart, and clavicles.

• BS-Diff: Effective Bone Suppression Using Conditional Diffusion Models from Chest X-Ray Images [21.19843479423806]
  Chest X-rays (CXRs) are commonly utilized as a low-dose modality for lung screening. Approximately 75% of the lung area overlaps with bone, which in turn hampers the detection and diagnosis of diseases. Bone suppression techniques have been introduced, but the current dual-energy subtraction imaging technique in the clinic requires costly equipment and subjects being exposed to high radiation. This paper proposes a new bone suppression framework, termed BS-Diff, that comprises a conditional diffusion model equipped with a U-Net architecture and a simple enhancement module to incorporate an autoencoder.

  We propose the structure regularized network attentive (SRANet) to highlight the necrotic regions during classification based on patch attention. SRANet extracts features in chunks of images, obtains weight via the attention mechanism to aggregate the features, and constrains them by a structural regularizer with prior knowledge to improve the generalization. Experimental results show that SRANet is superior to CNNs for AVNFH classification, moreover, it can localize lesions and provide more information to assist doctors in diagnosis.

  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.
