• Abstract summary: We use two-stage fully convolutional networks (FCNs) to automatically segment pulmonary airway in thoracic CT scans from multi-sites. Specifically, we adopt a 3D FCN with U-shape network architecture to segment pulmonary airway in a coarse resolution. The reported method was evaluated on the public training set of 300 cases and independent private validation set of 50 cases.

• Abstract: Accurate, automatic and complete extraction of pulmonary airway in medical images plays an important role in analyzing thoracic CT volumes such as lung cancer detection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchoscopic-assisted surgery navigation. However, this task remains challenges, due to the complex tree-like structure of the airways. In this technical report, we use two-stage fully convolutional networks (FCNs) to automatically segment pulmonary airway in thoracic CT scans from multi-sites. Specifically, we firstly adopt a 3D FCN with U-shape network architecture to segment pulmonary airway in a coarse resolution in order to accelerate medical image analysis pipeline. And then another one 3D FCN is trained to segment pulmonary airway in a fine resolution. In the 2022 MICCAI Multi-site Multi-domain Airway Tree Modeling (ATM) Challenge, the reported method was evaluated on the public training set of 300 cases and independent private validation set of 50 cases. The resulting Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) is 0.914 $\pm$ 0.040, False Negative Error (FNE) is 0.079 $\pm$ 0.042, and False Positive Error (FPE) is 0.090 $\pm$ 0.066 on independent private validation set.

  Suppression of thoracic bone shadows on chest X-rays (CXRs) has been indicated to improve the diagnosis of pulmonary disease. Previous approaches can be categorized as unsupervised physical and supervised deep learning models. We propose a generalizable yet efficient workflow of two stages: (1) training pairs generation with GT bone shadows eliminated in minimization by a physical model in spatially transformed gradient fields. (2) fully supervised image denoising network training on stage-one datasets for fast rib removal on incoming CXRs.
