• Abstract: Anomaly detection (AD) aims at detecting abnormal samples that deviate from the expected normal patterns. Generally, it can be trained merely on normal data, without a requirement for abnormal samples, and thereby plays an important role in rare disease recognition and health screening in the medical domain. Despite the emergence of numerous methods for medical AD, the lack of a fair and comprehensive evaluation causes ambiguous conclusions and hinders the development of this field. To address this problem, this paper builds a benchmark with unified comparison. Seven medical datasets with five image modalities, including chest X-rays, brain MRIs, retinal fundus images, dermatoscopic images, and histopathology images, are curated for extensive evaluation. Thirty typical AD methods, including reconstruction and self-supervised learning-based methods, are involved in comparison of image-level anomaly classification and pixel-level anomaly segmentation. Furthermore, for the first time, we systematically investigate the effect of key components in existing methods, revealing unresolved challenges and potential future directions. The datasets and code are available at https://github.com/caiyu6666/MedIAnomaly.

  We introduce a novel Spatial-aware Attention Generative Adrialversa Network (SAGAN) for one-class semi-supervised generation of health images. SAGAN generates high-quality health images corresponding to unlabeled data, guided by the reconstruction of normal images and restoration of pseudo-anomaly images. Extensive experiments on three medical datasets demonstrate that the proposed SAGAN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

• AnoDODE: Anomaly Detection with Diffusion ODE [0.0]
  Anomaly detection is the process of identifying atypical data samples that significantly deviate from the majority of the dataset. We propose a new anomaly detection method based on diffusion ODEs by estimating the density of features extracted from medical images. Our proposed method not only identifie anomalies but also provides interpretability at both the image and pixel levels.

  We introduce one-class semi-supervised learning (OC-SSL) to utilize known normal and unlabeled images for training. Ensembles of reconstruction networks are designed to model the distribution of normal images and the distribution of both normal and unlabeled images. We propose a new perspective on self-supervised learning, which is designed to refine the anomaly scores rather than detect anomalies directly.

  We propose an alternative to image reconstruction-based and image embedding-based methods to tackle pathological anomaly detection. Our approach originates in the foreign patch pathology (FPI) strategy that has shown superior performance on brain MRI and abdominal CT data. We propose to use a better patch strategy, Poisson image (PII) which makes our method suitable for applications in challenging data regimes.
