• Title: StenUNet: Automatic Stenosis Detection from X-ray Coronary Angiography
• Authors: Hui Lin, Tom Liu, Aggelos Katsaggelos, Adrienne Kline
• Abstract summary: The severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is quantified by the location, degree of narrowing (stenosis) and number of arteries involved. The MICCAI grand challenge: Automatic Region-based Coronary Artery Disease diagnostics using the X-ray angiography imagEs (ARCADE) curated a dataset with stenosis annotations. We propose the architecture and algorithm StenUNet to accurately detect stenosis from X-ray Coronary Angiography.

• Abstract: Coronary angiography continues to serve as the primary method for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), which is the leading global cause of mortality. The severity of CAD is quantified by the location, degree of narrowing (stenosis), and number of arteries involved. In current practice, this quantification is performed manually using visual inspection and thus suffers from poor inter- and intra-rater reliability. The MICCAI grand challenge: Automatic Region-based Coronary Artery Disease diagnostics using the X-ray angiography imagEs (ARCADE) curated a dataset with stenosis annotations, with the goal of creating an automated stenosis detection algorithm. Using a combination of machine learning and other computer vision techniques, we propose the architecture and algorithm StenUNet to accurately detect stenosis from X-ray Coronary Angiography. Our submission to the ARCADE challenge placed 3rd among all teams. We achieved an F1 score of 0.5348 on the test set, 0.0005 lower than the 2nd place.

  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.

  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.
