• Authors: Mengwei Ren and Neel Dey and Martin A. Styner and Kelly Botteron and Guido Gerig
• Abstract summary: This paper presents a local and multi-scaletemporal representation learning method for image-to-image architectures trained on longitudinal images. During finetuning, it proposes a surprisingly simple self-supervised segmentation consistency regularization to exploit intrasubject correlation. These improvements are demonstrated across both longitudinal neurodegenerative adult and developing infant brain MRI and yield both higher performance and longitudinal consistency.

• Abstract: Recent self-supervised advances in medical computer vision exploit global and local anatomical self-similarity for pretraining prior to downstream tasks such as segmentation. However, current methods assume i.i.d. image acquisition, which is invalid in clinical study designs where follow-up longitudinal scans track subject-specific temporal changes. Further, existing self-supervised methods for medically-relevant image-to-image architectures exploit only spatial or temporal self-similarity and only do so via a loss applied at a single image-scale, with naive multi-scale spatiotemporal extensions collapsing to degenerate solutions. To these ends, this paper makes two contributions: (1) It presents a local and multi-scale spatiotemporal representation learning method for image-to-image architectures trained on longitudinal images. It exploits the spatiotemporal self-similarity of learned multi-scale intra-subject features for pretraining and develops several feature-wise regularizations that avoid collapsed identity representations; (2) During finetuning, it proposes a surprisingly simple self-supervised segmentation consistency regularization to exploit intra-subject correlation. Benchmarked in the one-shot segmentation setting, the proposed framework outperforms both well-tuned randomly-initialized baselines and current self-supervised techniques designed for both i.i.d. and longitudinal datasets. These improvements are demonstrated across both longitudinal neurodegenerative adult MRI and developing infant brain MRI and yield both higher performance and longitudinal consistency.

  We propose a semi-supervised learning framework, termed Progressive Mean Teachers (PMT), for medical image segmentation. Our PMT generates high-fidelity pseudo labels by learning robust and diverse features in the training process. Experimental results on two datasets with different modalities, i.e., CT and MRI, demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art medical image segmentation approaches.
