• Abstract summary: We consider two pre-training approaches for driving a deep learning model to learn different representations. The effect of pretraining techniques is evaluated in two downstream segmentation applications using Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. We observed that DL models pretrained using self-supervision can be finetuned for comparable performance with fewer labeled datasets.

• Abstract: Obtaining manual annotations for large datasets for supervised training of deep learning (DL) models is challenging. The availability of large unlabeled datasets compared to labeled ones motivate the use of self-supervised pretraining to initialize DL models for subsequent segmentation tasks. In this work, we consider two pre-training approaches for driving a DL model to learn different representations using: a) regression loss that exploits spatial dependencies within an image and b) contrastive loss that exploits semantic similarity between pairs of images. The effect of pretraining techniques is evaluated in two downstream segmentation applications using Magnetic Resonance (MR) images: a) liver segmentation in abdominal T2-weighted MR images and b) prostate segmentation in T2-weighted MR images of the prostate. We observed that DL models pretrained using self-supervision can be finetuned for comparable performance with fewer labeled datasets. Additionally, we also observed that initializing the DL model using contrastive loss based pretraining performed better than the regression loss.

  Intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) are routinely diagnosed using non-contrast CT (NCCT) for severity assessment. Deep learning (DL)-based methods have shown great potential, however, training them requires a huge amount of manually annotated lesion-level labels. We propose a novel weakly supervised DL method for ICH segmentation on NCCT scans, using image-level binary classification labels.
