• Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial disease mainly affecting the lungs, is one of the leading infectious causes of mortality worldwide. To prevent TB from spreading within the body, which causes life-threatening complications, timely and effective anti-TB treatment is crucial. Cough, an objective biomarker for TB, is a triage tool that monitors treatment response and regresses with successful therapy. Current gold standards for TB diagnosis are slow or inaccessible, especially in rural areas where TB is most prevalent. In addition, current machine learning (ML) diagnosis research, like utilizing chest radiographs, is ineffective and does not monitor treatment progression. To enable effective diagnosis, an ensemble model was developed that analyzes, using a novel ML architecture, coughs' acoustic epidemiologies from smartphones' microphones to detect TB. The architecture includes a 2D-CNN and XGBoost that was trained on 724,964 cough audio samples and demographics from 7 countries. After feature extraction (Mel-spectrograms) and data augmentation (IR-convolution), the model achieved AUROC (area under the receiving operator characteristic) of 88%, surpassing WHO's requirements for screening tests. The results are available within 15 seconds and can easily be accessible via a mobile app. This research helps to improve TB diagnosis through a promising accurate, quick, and accessible triaging tool.

  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.
