• Abstract: It is critically important to detect the content of liver fat as it is related to cardiac complications and cardiovascular disease mortality. However, existing methods are either associated with high cost and/or medical complications (e.g., liver biopsy, imaging technology) or only roughly estimate the grades of steatosis. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network to estimate the percentage of liver fat using only body shapes. The proposed is composed of a flexible baseline network and a lightweight Attention module. The attention module is trained to generate discriminative and diverse features which significant improve the performance. In order to validate the method, we perform extensive tests on the public medical dataset. The results verify that our proposed method yields state-of-the-art performance with Root mean squared error (RMSE) of 5.26% and R-Squared value over 0.8. It offers an accurate and more accessible assessment of hepatic steatosis.

  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.
