We aimed to develop a deep learning–based algorithm for detecting PTB on chest X-ray (CXRs) in the emergency department. This retrospective study included 3498 CXRs acquired from the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). The images were chronologically split into a training dataset, NTUH-1519 (images acquired during the years 2015 to 2019; <i>n</i> = 2144), and a testing dataset, NTUH-20 (images acquired during the year 2020; <i>n</i> = 1354). Public databases, including the NIH ChestX-ray14 dataset (model training; 112,120 images), Montgomery County (model testing; 138 images), and Shenzhen (model testing; 662 images), were also used in model development. EfficientNetV2 was the basic architecture of the algorithm. Images from ChestX-ray14 were employed for pseudo-labelling to perform semi-supervised learning. The algorithm demonstrated excellent performance in detecting PTB (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] 0.878, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.854–0.900) in NTUH-20. The algorithm showed significantly better performance in posterior-anterior (PA) CXR (AUC 0.940, 95% CI 0.912–0.965, <i>p-value</i> &lt; 0.001) compared with anterior–posterior (AUC 0.782, 95% CI 0.644–0.897) or portable anterior–posterior (AUC 0.869, 95% CI 0.814–0.918) CXR. The algorithm accurately detected cases of bacteriologically confirmed PTB (AUC 0.854, 95% CI 0.823–0.883). Finally, the algorithm tested favourably in Montgomery County (AUC 0.838, 95% CI 0.765–0.904) and Shenzhen (AUC 0.806, 95% CI 0.771–0.839).

This study addresses the integration of magnetic resonance (MR) images to aid in target delineation on computed tomography (CT) images. However, obtaining MR images directly can be challenging. Therefore, we employ AI-based image generation techniques to “intelligentially generate” MR images from CT images to improve CTV delineation based on CT images. To generate high-quality MR images, we propose an attention-guided single-loop image generation model. The model can yield higher-quality images by introducing an attention mechanism in feature extraction and enhancing the loss function. Based on the generated MR images, we propose a CTV segmentation model fusing multi-scale features through image fusion and a hollow space pyramid module to enhance segmentation accuracy. The image generation model used in this study improves the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM) from 14.87 and 0.58 to 16.72 and 0.67, respectively, and improves the feature distribution distance and learning-perception image similarity from 180.86 and 0.28 to 110.98 and 0.22, achieving higher quality image generation.

The significance of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), lies in their capacity to rapidly and accurately diagnose diseases from radiology images. This capability has been particularly vital during the COVID-19 pandemic, where rapid and precise diagnosis played a pivotal role in managing the spread of the virus. DL models, trained on vast datasets of radiology images, have showcased remarkable proficiency in distinguishing between normal and COVID-19-affected cases, offering a ray of hope amidst the crisis. However, as with any technological advancement, vulnerabilities emerge. Deep learning-based diagnostic models, although proficient, are not immune to adversarial attacks. These attacks, characterized by carefully crafted perturbations to input data, can potentially disrupt the models’ decision-making processes. In the medical context, such vulnerabilities could have dire consequences, leading to misdiagnoses and compromised patient care. To address this, we propose a two-phase defense framework that combines advanced adversarial learning and adversarial image filtering techniques. We use a modified adversarial learning algorithm to enhance the model’s resilience against adversarial examples during the training phase. During the inference phase, we apply JPEG compression to mitigate perturbations that cause misclassification. We evaluate our approach on three models based on ResNet-50, VGG-16, and Inception-V3. These models perform exceptionally in classifying radiology images (X-ray and CT) of lung regions into normal, pneumonia, and COVID-19 pneumonia categories. We then assess the vulnerability of these models to three targeted adversarial attacks: fast gradient sign method (FGSM), projected gradient descent (PGD), and basic iterative method (BIM). The results show a significant drop in model performance after the attacks. However, our defense framework greatly improves the models’ resistance to adversarial attacks, maintaining high accuracy on adversarial examples. Importantly, our framework ensures the reliability of the models in diagnosing COVID-19 from clean images.</p>","PeriodicalId":50214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digital Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139420755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among invasive cancers, it was relatively weaker at identifying asymmetries and was relatively stronger at identifying masses.

In the era of precision medicine, such paradigm shift should be promoted, regardless of the PET system. In order to anticipate and stimulate this emerging clinical paradigm shift, we developed a constructor-independent software package, called PET KinetiX, allowing a faster and easier computation of parametric images from any 4D PET DICOM series, at the whole field of view level. The PET KinetiX package is currently a plug-in for Osirix DICOM viewer. The package provides a suite of five PET kinetic models: Patlak, Logan, 1-tissue compartment model, 2-tissue compartment model, and first pass blood flow. After uploading the 4D-PET DICOM series into Osirix, the image processing requires very few steps: the choice of the kinetic model and the definition of an input function. After a 2-min process, the PET parametric and error maps of the chosen model are automatically estimated voxel-wise and written in DICOM format. The software benefits from the graphical user interface of Osirix, making it user-friendly. Compared to PMOD-PKIN (version 4.4) on twelve ¹⁸F-FDG PET dynamic datasets, PET KinetiX provided an absolute bias of 0.1% (0.05–0.25) and 5.8% (3.3–12.3) for Ki_Patlak and Ki_2TCM, respectively.
