• Abstract summary: We propose a representation learning strategy to estimate local uncertainties on a physiological descriptor. We first use manifold alignment to match the latent representations associated to different high-dimensional input descriptors. Then, we formulate plausible distributions of latent uncertainties, and finally exploit them to reconstruct uncertainties on the input high-dimensional descriptors.

• Abstract: Confidence in the results is a key ingredient to improve the adoption of machine learning methods by clinicians. Uncertainties on the results have been considered in the literature, but mostly those originating from the learning and processing methods. Uncertainty on the data is hardly challenged, as a single sample is often considered representative enough of each subject included in the analysis. In this paper, we propose a representation learning strategy to estimate local uncertainties on a physiological descriptor (here, myocardial deformation) previously obtained from medical images by different definitions or computations. We first use manifold alignment to match the latent representations associated to different high-dimensional input descriptors. Then, we formulate plausible distributions of latent uncertainties, and finally exploit them to reconstruct uncertainties on the input high-dimensional descriptors. We demonstrate its relevance for the quantification of myocardial deformation (strain) from 3D echocardiographic image sequences of the right ventricle, for which a lack of consensus exists in its definition and which directional component to use. We used a database of 100 control subjects with right ventricle overload, for which different types of strain are available at each point of the right ventricle endocardial surface mesh. Our approach quantifies local uncertainties on myocardial deformation from different descriptors defining this physiological concept. Such uncertainties cannot be directly estimated by local statistics on such descriptors, potentially of heterogeneous types. Beyond this controlled illustrative application, our methodology has the potential to be generalized to many other population analyses considering heterogeneous high-dimensional descriptors.

  Statistical shape modeling (SSM) directly from 3D medical images is an underutilized tool for detecting pathology, diagnosing disease, and conducting population-level morphology analysis.

We have proposed a slice-wise semi-supervised method for tumour detection based on the computation of a dissimilarity function in the latent space of a Variational AutoEncoder. We show that by training the models on higher resolution images and by improving the quality of the reconstructions, we obtain results which are comparable with different baselines.
