• Title: Improving Image Classification of Knee Radiographs: An Automated Image Labeling Approach
• Authors: Jikai Zhang, Carlos Santos, Christine Park, Maciej Mazurowski, Roy Colglazier
• Abstract summary: The purpose of our study was to develop an automated labeling approach that improves the image classification to distinguish normal knee images with abnormalities or prior. The automated labeler was trained on a small set of labeled data to automatically label a much larger set of unlabeled data. Our findings demonstrated that the proposed automated labeling approach significantly improves the performance of image classification for knee diagnosis.

• Abstract: Large numbers of radiographic images are available in knee radiology practices which could be used for training of deep learning models for diagnosis of knee abnormalities. However, those images do not typically contain readily available labels due to limitations of human annotations. The purpose of our study was to develop an automated labeling approach that improves the image classification model to distinguish normal knee images from those with abnormalities or prior arthroplasty. The automated labeler was trained on a small set of labeled data to automatically label a much larger set of unlabeled data, further improving the image classification performance for knee radiographic diagnosis. We developed our approach using 7,382 patients and validated it on a separate set of 637 patients. The final image classification model, trained using both manually labeled and pseudo-labeled data, had the higher weighted average AUC (WAUC: 0.903) value and higher AUC-ROC values among all classes (normal AUC-ROC: 0.894; abnormal AUC-ROC: 0.896, arthroplasty AUC-ROC: 0.990) compared to the baseline model (WAUC=0.857; normal AUC-ROC: 0.842; abnormal AUC-ROC: 0.848, arthroplasty AUC-ROC: 0.987), trained using only manually labeled data. DeLong tests show that the improvement is significant on normal (p-value<0.002) and abnormal (p-value<0.001) images. Our findings demonstrated that the proposed automated labeling approach significantly improves the performance of image classification for radiographic knee diagnosis, allowing for facilitating patient care and curation of large knee datasets.

  The Sharp (SvdH) score is a widely used radiographic scoring method to quantify damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in clinical trials. We developed a bespoke, automated pipeline that is capable of predicting the SvdH score and RA severity from hand radiographs without the need to localise the joints first.

  We propose to leverage transfer learning from large datasets annotated by radiologists, to predict the histological score available on a small annex dataset. We compare different pretraining methods, namely weakly-supervised and self-supervised ones, to improve the prediction of the cirrhosis. This method outperforms the baseline classification of the METAVIR score, reaching an AUC of 0.84 and a balanced accuracy of 0.75.

First, we adopt the state-of-the-art classification networks, and train them to grade UW- OCTA images with different splits of the available dataset. Ultimately, we obtain 25 models, of which, the top 16 models are selected and ensembled to generate the final predictions.
