传统滤波方法不保边的原因是:都使用全窗口回归,会有沿着图像边缘的扩散。本文提出把窗口的边缘直接放在待处理像素的位置,这就切断了可能的法线方向的扩散。具体到一个像素位置,直接枚举八个可能的方向,让数据自适应地选择一个最佳的方向。

Deep Learning for Automated Contouring of Primary Tumor Volumes by MRI for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, 818训练,203测试;用20个测试数据比较AI和医生的分割结果。AI assistance improved contouring accuracy (five of eight oncologists had a higher median DSC after AI assistance; average median DSC, 0.74 vs 0.78; P < .001), reduced intra- and interobserver variation (by 36.4% and 54.5%, respectively), and reduced contouring time (by 39.4%). AI自动勾画然后医生修改,平均精度由74%提高至79%。

ML方法没有被广泛应用到临床workflow的原因/挑战
- CV中的DL方法在医学图像中不总是work。比如BraTS分割任务DL很成功,但是存活时间预测任务效果不如人意。**Errors in performance lead to clinician mistrust.
- Clinicians don't trust black box methods. Interpretability is very important.
- No large scale annotated medical dataset for training. 导致通常在small, proprietary or benchmark dataset开发算法,缺乏鲁棒性。
Examine machine learning performance and metrics in real clinical contexts
- 临床影响:将病灶检测和分割算法加入商业软件中,提升了efficiency and precision,节省~5倍的时间和金钱;提升treatment analysis for almost all (22/23) new MS drugs in circulation wordwide. Clinical impact formula: Synergy with clinicians, end-users when designing method + trying methods and metrics for success to real clinical objectives = Clinical impact

- Why could a multiclass dice loss function solve the class imbalance problem?
In cross entropy, each pixel has the same weight irrespective of the class. by using a Dice loss, the weight of a pixel is different. If the CE tumor is small for example, then false positives or false negatives will impact the dice loss more and will thus intrinsically be weighted more.
- New roadmap outlines 5 research priorities for AI in radiology (radiology paper) (healthimaging报道)
- Novel image reconstruction techniques that quickly produce images humans can read from source data.
- A focus on automated image labeling and annotation, which includes “information extraction from the imaging report, electronic phenotyping and prospective structure image reporting.”
- Machine learning models for clinical data, including pre-trained and distributed learning techniques.
- Algorithms capable of explaining their findings to users.
- Methods for deidentifying images and sharing image datasets that are adequately validated.
