• Abstract summary: In clinical practice, experienced physicians assess TB by examining chest X-rays (CXR) Computer-aided diagnosis systems supported by Artificial Intelligence have shown performance comparable to experienced radiologist TB readings. We propose a multi-view deep learning-based solution which aims to automatically regionalize and extract lung and mediastinal regions of interest from pediatric CXR images.

• Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is still considered a leading cause of death and a substantial threat to global child health. Both TB infection and disease are curable using antibiotics. However, most children who die of TB are never diagnosed or treated. In clinical practice, experienced physicians assess TB by examining chest X-rays (CXR). Pediatric CXR has specific challenges compared to adult CXR, which makes TB diagnosis in children more difficult. Computer-aided diagnosis systems supported by Artificial Intelligence have shown performance comparable to experienced radiologist TB readings, which could ease mass TB screening and reduce clinical burden. We propose a multi-view deep learning-based solution which, by following a proposed template, aims to automatically regionalize and extract lung and mediastinal regions of interest from pediatric CXR images where key TB findings may be present. Experimental results have shown accurate region extraction, which can be used for further analysis to confirm TB finding presence and severity assessment.

  Tuberculosis persists as a global health crisis, especially in resource-limited populations and remote regions. In this work, we introduce an explainable self-supervised self-train learning network tailored for tuberculosis case screening. The network achieves an outstanding overall accuracy of 98.14% and demonstrates high recall and precision rates of 95.72% and 99.44%, respectively.

  The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates for chest X-rays (CXRs) for TB screening. Visual interpretation by radiologists can be subjective, time-consuming and prone to error, especially in pediatric TB. We propose a novel self-supervised paradigm leveraging Vision Transformers (ViT) for improved TB detection in CXR, enabling zero-shot pediatric TB detection.

  Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health threat, causing millions of deaths annually. Computer-aided tuberculosis diagnosis (CTD) using deep learning has shown promise, but progress is hindered by limited training data. We establish a large-scale dataset, namely the Tuberculosis X-ray (TBX11K) dataset, which contains 11,200 chest X-ray (CXR) images with corresponding bounding box annotations for TB areas. This dataset enables the training of sophisticated detectors for high-quality CTD.
