• Abstract summary: We introduce AI-generated annotations for two collections of computed tomography images of the chest, NSCLC-Radiomics, and the National Lung Screening Trial. The resulting annotations are publicly available within NCI Imaging Data Commons (IDC), where the DICOM format is used to harmonize the data and achieve FAIR principles. This study reinforces the need for large, publicly curated datasets and demonstrates how AI can be used to aid in cancer imaging.

• Abstract: Public imaging datasets are critical for the development and evaluation of automated tools in cancer imaging. Unfortunately, many do not include annotations or image-derived features, complicating their downstream analysis. Artificial intelligence-based annotation tools have been shown to achieve acceptable performance and thus can be used to automatically annotate large datasets. As part of the effort to enrich public data available within NCI Imaging Data Commons (IDC), here we introduce AI-generated annotations for two collections of computed tomography images of the chest, NSCLC-Radiomics, and the National Lung Screening Trial. Using publicly available AI algorithms we derived volumetric annotations of thoracic organs at risk, their corresponding radiomics features, and slice-level annotations of anatomical landmarks and regions. The resulting annotations are publicly available within IDC, where the DICOM format is used to harmonize the data and achieve FAIR principles. The annotations are accompanied by cloud-enabled notebooks demonstrating their use. This study reinforces the need for large, publicly accessible curated datasets and demonstrates how AI can be used to aid in cancer imaging.

  This paper explores training medical vision-language models (VLMs) where the visual and language inputs are embedded into a common space. We explore several candidate methods to improve low-data performance, including adapting generic pre-trained models to novel image and text domains. Using text-to-image retrieval as a benchmark, we evaluate the performance of these methods with variable sized training datasets of paired chest X-rays and radiological reports.
