In this paper, we propose a novel framework for reconstructing 3D Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) vasculature volumes from single 2D slices using synthetic and real CLSM data. CLSM is an imaging technique commonly used for in-vivo 3D imaging. However, the utility of 3D CLSM imaging is limited due to long acquisition times and phototoxicity caused by prolonged light exposure. We propose a novel solution to reconstruct a 3D volume from a 2D slice by off-focal plane signal using deep learning (DL). However, the limited availability of real 3D data has to be overcome to train such a 3D reconstruction model. Therefore, we propose a novel framework to effectively address the lack of 3D data for training a robust and accurate 3D reconstruction model by simulating and synthesizing CLSM volumes. Our framework consists of (1) a 3D CLSM volume simulation and synthesizing for training data and (2) a 3D CLSM volume reconstruction part. Experiments show that we can effectively reconstruct 3D CLSM vasculature volumes from single slices, even only using synthetic data. Furthermore, we will also release our CLSM Image of Vascular Organoid for REConstruction (CLSMI-VO-REC) dataset and code at https://github.com/MoriLabNU/3D_CLSM_Volume_Reconstruction.

Microscopic image segmentation is indispensable biomedical research. However, accurately segmenting using traditional automatic segmentation methods remains challenging due to fluorescence presenting high intra- and inter-image variability, hindering biomedical analysis. Deep learning (DL)-based methods show remarkable potential in microscopic image segmentation. However, DL models typically require GPU resources, specialized programming skills, and a non-trivial environment setup, making it difficult for medical researchers to use them currently. Therefore, we propose a turnkey solution for microscopic image segmentation by Look-up Table (LUT) which is a data structure used for storing input values and pre-calculated results. Our solution can inherit the segmentation accuracy of DL-based methods and eliminates the need for extensive computational resources, specialized programming, and a complex implementation environment. Specifically, (1) By transferring all potential inputs and their DL model-computed outputs into a LUT, segmentation is achieved through direct output look-up for given pixel values. (2) Additionally, we develop a dilated CNN with adaptive edge padding, enhancing feature learning while meeting LUT building requirements. (3) Moreover, we publicly release a confocal microscopic image dataset and develop a LUT-based plugin (SEG-LUT plugin) for Fiji ImageJ. The experimental results show our framework outperforms other automatic segmentation methods in the Fiji ImageJ. Our solution offers a pathway for easily utilizing DL-based methods for microscopic image segmentation. Our codes, plugin, and dataset are available at https://github.com/MoriLabNU/Microscopic_Image_Segment_LUT.

Purpose: Parkinson disease (PD) is a common progressive neurodegenerative disorder in our ageing society. Early-stage PD biomarkers are desired for timely clinical intervention and understanding of pathophysiology. Since one of the characteristics of PD is the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, we propose a feature extraction method for analysing the differences in the substantia nigra between PD and non-PD patients. Method: We propose a feature-extraction method for volumetric images based on a rank-1 tensor decomposition. Furthermore, we apply a feature selection method that excludes common features between PD and non-PD. We collect neuromelanin images of 263 patients: 124 PD and 139 non-PD patients and divide them into training and testing datasets for experiments. We then experimentally evaluate the classification accuracy of the substantia nigra between PD and non-PD patients using the proposed feature extraction method and linear discriminant analysis. Results: The proposed method achieves a sensitivity of 0.72 and a specificity of 0.64 for our testing dataset of 66 non-PD and 42 PD patients. Furthermore, we visualise the important patterns in the substantia nigra by a linear combination of rank-1 tensors with selected features. The visualised patterns include the ventrolateral tier, where the severe loss of neurons can be observed in PD. Conclusions: We develop a new feature-extraction method for the analysis of the substantia nigra towards PD diagnosis. In the experiments, even though the classification accuracy with the proposed feature extraction method and linear discriminant analysis is lower than that of expert physicians, the results suggest the potential of tensorial feature extraction.

Purpose: Accurate segmentation of tubular structures is crucial for clinical diagnosis and treatment but is challenging due to their complex branching structures and volume imbalance. The purpose of this study is to propose a 3D deep learning network that incorporates skeleton information to enhance segmentation accuracy in these tubular structures. Methods: Our approach employs a 3D convolutional network to extract 3D tubular structures from medical images such as CT volumetric images. We introduce a skeleton-guided module that operates on extracted features to capture and preserve the skeleton information in the segmentation results. Additionally, to effectively train our deep model in leveraging skeleton information, we propose a sigmoid-adaptive Tversky loss function which is specifically designed for skeleton segmentation. Results: We conducted experiments on two distinct 3D medical image datasets. The first dataset consisted of 90 cases of chest CT volumetric images, while the second dataset comprised 35 cases of abdominal CT volumetric images. Comparative analysis with previous segmentation approaches demonstrated the superior performance of our method. For the airway segmentation task, our method achieved an average tree length rate of 93.0%, a branch detection rate of 91.5%, and a precision rate of 90.0%. In the case of abdominal artery segmentation, our method attained an average precision rate of 97.7%, a recall rate of 91.7%, and an F-measure of 94.6%. Conclusion: We present a skeleton-guided 3D convolutional network to segment tubular structures from 3D medical images. Our skeleton-guided 3D convolutional network could effectively segment small tubular structures, outperforming previous methods.

CorneAI for iOS is an artificial intelligence (AI) application to classify the condition of the cornea and cataract into nine categories: normal, infectious keratitis, non-infection keratitis, scar, tumor, deposit, acute primary angle closure, lens opacity, and bullous keratopathy. We evaluated its performance to classify multiple conditions of the cornea and cataract of various races in images published in the Cornea journal. The positive predictive value (PPV) of the top classification with the highest predictive score was 0.75, and the PPV for the top three classifications exceeded 0.80. For individual diseases, the highest PPVs were 0.91, 0.73, 0.42, 0.72, 0.77, and 0.55 for infectious keratitis, normal, non-infection keratitis, scar, tumor, and deposit, respectively. CorneAI for iOS achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.78 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.5–1.0) for normal, 0.76 (95% CI 0.67–0.85) for infectious keratitis, 0.81 (95% CI 0.64–0.97) for non-infection keratitis, 0.55 (95% CI 0.41–0.69) for scar, 0.62 (95% CI 0.27–0.97) for tumor, and 0.71 (95% CI 0.53–0.89) for deposit. CorneAI performed well in classifying various conditions of the cornea and cataract when used to diagnose journal images, including those with variable imaging conditions, ethnicities, and rare cases.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER ASSISTED RADIOLOGY AND SURGERY 2024年5月

記述言語：英語出版者・発行元：International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery

Purpose: This paper considers a new problem setting for multi-organ segmentation based on the following observations. In reality, (1) collecting a large-scale dataset from various institutes is usually impeded due to privacy issues; (2) many images are not labeled since the slice-by-slice annotation is costly; and (3) datasets may exhibit inconsistent, partial annotations across different institutes. Learning a federated model from these distributed, partially labeled, and unlabeled samples is an unexplored problem. Methods: To simulate this multi-organ segmentation problem, several distributed clients and a central server are maintained. The central server coordinates with clients to learn a global model using distributed private datasets, which comprise a small part of partially labeled images and a large part of unlabeled images. To address this problem, a practical framework that unifies partially supervised learning (PSL), semi-supervised learning (SSL), and federated learning (FL) paradigms with PSL, SSL, and FL modules is proposed. The PSL module manages to learn from partially labeled samples. The SSL module extracts valuable information from unlabeled data. Besides, the FL module aggregates local information from distributed clients to generate a global statistical model. With the collaboration of three modules, the presented scheme could take advantage of these distributed imperfect datasets to train a generalizable model. Results: The proposed method was extensively evaluated with multiple abdominal CT datasets, achieving an average result of 84.83% in Dice and 41.62 mm in 95HD for multi-organ (liver, spleen, and stomach) segmentation. Moreover, its efficacy in transfer learning further demonstrated its good generalization ability for downstream segmentation tasks. Conclusion: This study considers a novel problem of multi-organ segmentation, which aims to develop a generalizable model using distributed, partially labeled, and unlabeled CT images. A practical framework is presented, which, through extensive validation, has proved to be an effective solution, demonstrating strong potential in addressing this challenging problem.

Purposes: We performed a conversation analysis of the speech conducted among the surgical team during three-dimensional (3D)-printed liver model navigation for thrice or more repeated hepatectomy (TMRH). Methods: Seventeen patients underwent 3D-printed liver navigation surgery for TMRH. After transcription of the utterances recorded during surgery, the transcribed utterances were coded by the utterer, utterance object, utterance content, sensor, and surgical process during conversation. We then analyzed the utterances and clarified the association between the surgical process and conversation through the intraoperative reference of the 3D-printed liver. Results: In total, 130 conversations including 1648 segments were recorded. Utterance coding showed that the operator/assistant, 3D-printed liver/real liver, fact check (F)/plan check (Pc), visual check/tactile check, and confirmation of planned resection or preservation target (T)/confirmation of planned or ongoing resection line (L) accounted for 791/857, 885/763, 1148/500, 1208/440, and 1304/344 segments, respectively. The utterance’s proportions of assistants, F, F of T on 3D-printed liver, F of T on real liver, and Pc of L on 3D-printed liver were significantly higher during non-expert surgeries than during expert surgeries. Confirming the surgical process with both 3D-printed liver and real liver and performing planning using a 3D-printed liver facilitates the safe implementation of TMRH, regardless of the surgeon’s experience. Conclusions: The present study, using a unique conversation analysis, provided the first evidence for the clinical value of 3D-printed liver for TMRH for anatomical guidance of non-expert surgeons.

掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Current Psychology

This study investigated the influence of using three-dimensional (3D) computer and 3D-printed models on the spatial reasoning of experts and novices. The task of this study required general university students as novices in Experiment 1 and surgeons specializing in digestive surgery as experts in Experiment 2 to infer the cross sections of a liver, using a 3D-computer or 3D-printed model. The results of the experiments showed that the university students learned faster and inferred the liver structure more accurately with the 3D-printed model than with the 3D-computer model. Conversely, the surgeons showed the same task performance when using the 3D-computer and 3D-printed models; however, they performed the task with more confidence and less workload during the task with the 3D-printed model. Based on the results, the cognitive effects and advantages of using 3D-printed models for novices and experts have been discussed.

掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Healthcare Technology Letters

This study focuses on enhancing the inference speed of laparoscopic tool detection on embedded devices. Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgery technique, markedly reduces patient recovery times and postoperative complications. Real-time laparoscopic tool detection helps assisting laparoscopy by providing information for surgical navigation, and its implementation on embedded devices is gaining interest due to the portability, network independence and scalability of the devices. However, embedded devices often face computation resource limitations, potentially hindering inference speed. To mitigate this concern, the work introduces a two-fold modification to the YOLOv7 model: the feature channels and integrate RepBlock is halved, yielding the YOLOv7-RepFPN model. This configuration leads to a significant reduction in computational complexity. Additionally, the focal EIoU (efficient intersection of union) loss function is employed for bounding box regression. Experimental results on an embedded device demonstrate that for frame-by-frame laparoscopic tool detection, the proposed YOLOv7-RepFPN achieved an mAP of 88.2% (with IoU set to 0.5) on a custom dataset based on EndoVis17, and an inference speed of 62.9 FPS. Contrasting with the original YOLOv7, which garnered an 89.3% mAP and 41.8 FPS under identical conditions, the methodology enhances the speed by 21.1 FPS while maintaining detection accuracy. This emphasizes the effectiveness of the work.

Towards better laparoscopic video segmentation: A class-wise contrastive learning approach with multi-scale feature extraction

Zhang L., Hayashi Y., Oda M., Mori K.

Healthcare Technology Letters 2024年

出版者・発行元：Healthcare Technology Letters

The task of segmentation is integral to computer-aided surgery systems. Given the privacy concerns associated with medical data, collecting a large amount of annotated data for training is challenging. Unsupervised learning techniques, such as contrastive learning, have shown powerful capabilities in learning image-level representations from unlabelled data. This study leverages classification labels to enhance the accuracy of the segmentation model trained on limited annotated data. The method uses a multi-scale projection head to extract image features at various scales. The partitioning method for positive sample pairs is then improved to perform contrastive learning on the extracted features at each scale to effectively represent the differences between positive and negative samples in contrastive learning. Furthermore, the model is trained simultaneously with both segmentation labels and classification labels. This enables the model to extract features more effectively from each segmentation target class and further accelerates the convergence speed. The method was validated using the publicly available CholecSeg8k dataset for comprehensive abdominal cavity surgical segmentation. Compared to select existing methods, the proposed approach significantly enhances segmentation performance, even with a small labelled subset (1–10%) of the dataset, showcasing a superior intersection over union (IoU) score.

Revisiting instrument segmentation: Learning from decentralized surgical sequences with various imperfect annotations

Zheng Z., Hayashi Y., Oda M., Kitasaka T., Mori K.

Healthcare Technology Letters 2024年

出版者・発行元：Healthcare Technology Letters

This paper focuses on a new and challenging problem related to instrument segmentation. This paper aims to learn a generalizable model from distributed datasets with various imperfect annotations. Collecting a large-scale dataset for centralized learning is usually impeded due to data silos and privacy issues. Besides, local clients, such as hospitals or medical institutes, may hold datasets with diverse and imperfect annotations. These datasets can include scarce annotations (many samples are unlabelled), noisy labels prone to errors, and scribble annotations with less precision. Federated learning (FL) has emerged as an attractive paradigm for developing global models with these locally distributed datasets. However, its potential in instrument segmentation has yet to be fully investigated. Moreover, the problem of learning from various imperfect annotations in an FL setup is rarely studied, even though it presents a more practical and beneficial scenario. This work rethinks instrument segmentation in such a setting and propose a practical FL framework for this issue. Notably, this approach surpassed centralized learning under various imperfect annotation settings. This method established a foundational benchmark, and future work can build upon it by considering each client owning various annotations and aligning closer with real-world complexities.

The intestine is an essential digestive organ that can cause serious health problems once diseased. This paper proposes a method for intestine segmentation to intestine obstruction diagnosis assistance called multi-dimensional U-Net (M U-Net). We employ two encoders to extract features from two-dimensional (2D) CT slices and three-dimensional (3D) CT patches. These two encoders collaborate to enhance the segmentation accuracy of the model. Additionally, we incorporate deep supervision with the M U-Net to reduce the limitation of training with sparse label data sets. The experimental results demonstrated that the Dice of the proposed method was 73.22%, the recall was 79.89%, and the precision was 70.61%.

出版者・発行元：Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE

This paper describes an adaptive octree cube refinement method for deformable organ models. Surgical simulation is one of the most promising ways for surgical training. Various types of surgical simulators have been researched and developed. Laparoscopic surgery simulators are already in practical use. They have been evaluated for their effectiveness in learning surgical techniques. To realize a high-quality simulator, it is important to efficiently process organ deformation models according to the content of the surgical simulation so that both high-resolution and real-Time processing. In this study, we extend adaptive mesh refinement, which increases mesh resolution in the manipulation region, and apply it to an octree cube structure. The refinement process of the octree cube structure is performed based on the distance from the grasping position of the gallbladder model. This approach improves the resolution of the octree in the area near the grasping position where relatively large deformations occur. In addition, it makes it easier to detect interference between the grasp model and the high-resolution grid of the octree. Simulation results showed that there were 199 cubes before and 339 cubes after refinement, and the FPS decreased from 44.1 FPS to 32.4 FPS on a standard CPU and GPU PC, which is still within real-Time processing.

MEDICAL IMAGING 2024: IMAGE PROCESSING 12926 巻 2024年

出版者・発行元：Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE

This paper proposes an intestine segmentation method to segment intestines from CT volumes for helping clinicians diagnose intestine obstruction. For large-scale labeled datasets, fully-supervised methods have shown superior results. However, medical image segmentation is usually difficult to achieve accurate prediction due to the limited number of labeled data available for training. To address this challenge, we introduce a novel multi-view symmetrical network (MVS-Net) for intestine segmentation and incorporate bidirectional teaching to utilize unlabeled datasets. Specifically, we design the MVS-Net, which can use different sizes of convolution kernels instead of a fixed kernel size, enabling the network to capture multi-scale features from images’ different perceptual fields and ensure segmentation accuracy. Additionally, the pseudo-labels are generated by bidirectional teaching, which can make the network captures semantic information from large-scale unlabeled data for increasing the training data. We repeated the experiment five times, and used the averaged result on the intestines dataset to represent the segmentation accuracy of the proposed method. The experimental results showed the average Dice was 78.86%, the average recall 84.50%, and the average precision 75.94%, respectively.

Self-supervised pretraining has shown great performance in improving the accuracy of downstream tasks. Although pretraining on a large dataset improves performances, it becomes challenging to further optimize the model by solely enlarging the dataset. In contrast, additional adaptation of pretrained models to the target domain has shown promise in NLP. Inspired by the success of continual pretraining, we investigated the efficacy of adapting the target domain dataset to a pretrained model in medical imaging, particularly in the context of segmentation. We present a study based on a self-supervised pretraining framework using the SwinUNETR backbone. In this study, we improved the generalizability of the self-supervised pretraining by adapting a foundational model pretrained on 5k CT volumes to data of the downstream segmentation task. In detail, we employed 385 abdominal CT volumes for the continual task-adaptive pretraining and 24 abdominal CT volumes for the downstream segmentation task, all sourced from the same dataset. Additionally, we conducted comparative experiments to demonstrate the benefits of this task-adapting pretraining approach. Our method has shown that continual pretraining helps to improve the performances, achieving an average Dice score for 10-class organ segmentation of 87.8%.

Substantia nigra (SN) has been reported as significantly related to the progression of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Fully automated segmentation of SN is an important step for developing an interpretable computer-aided diagnosis system for PD. Based on the deep learning techniques, this paper proposes a novel distance-reweighted loss function and combines it with the test-time normalization (TTN) to boost the fully automated SN segmentation accuracy from low contrast T2 weighted MRI. The proposed loss encourages the model to focus on the suspicious regions with vague boundaries, and the involved TTN narrows the gap between an input MRI volume and the reference MRI volumes in test-time. The results showed that both the proposed loss and TTN could help improve the segmentation accuracy. By combining the proposed loss and TTN, the averaged Dice coefficient achieved 70.90% from T2 weighted MRI, compared to 68.17% by the baseline method.

This paper proposes a semi-supervised intestine segmentation method from CT volumes. Our method can use densely and sparsely annotated CT volumes for training to reduce the labor of manually annotating intestines. The proposed Hybrid Two-stage Segmentation (HTSeg) framework consists of two networks, a 2D swin-transformer-based network as the first stage and a 3D network as the second stage. In the first stage, we use 6964 labeled CT slices to train the 2D Swin U-Net. The trained 2D Swin U-Net is used to generate pseudo-labels for sparse annotation data. In the second stage, we use sparsely annotated datasets with pseudo-labels and densely annotated datasets to train a 3D multi-view symmetrical network (MVSNet). Experimental results showed that the Dice score of the proposed method was 74.70%, which was 1.03% higher than just using MVSNet. Compared with the other four previous methods (3D U-Net, CPS, EM, MT), the proposed method produced competitive segmentation performance.

This paper presents a gradient-based analytical method for improving medical image classification. The automated classification of diseases is important in computer-aided diagnosis. In addition to accurate classification, its explainability is an essential factor toward its practical application. A gradient-based visual explanation provides the explainability of a model of an convolutional neural network (CNN) by indicating important patterns in an input image. Most studies use this explanation to assess CNN’s validity in a qualitative manner. On the other hand, in addition to a model’s explainability, our motivation is to utilize the visual-explanation methods to enhance the classification accuracy of a CNN model. In this study, we propose a weight-analysis-based method to improve the classification accuracy of a trained-CNN model without additional training. The proposed method selects important patterns based on a gradient-based weight analysis of a middle layer in a trained model and suppresses irrelevant patterns in the extracted features for the classification. We applied our analytical method to a convolutional and a global-average-pooling layers in a CNN, which classifies a chest CT volume into COVID-19 typical and non-typical cases. As shown in classification results on 302 testing cases, our method improved the accuracy of the COVID-19 classification.

This manuscript describes a deep learning-based algorithm for inferring stomatal phenotypes from microscope images. Botanists spray compounds on leaf surfaces and observe their state under a microscope to study the effects of different compounds on stomatal opening and closing. We propose a stomatal orientation-based method that uses stomatal orientation to guide stomatal measurements. This method has three modules: a stomata detection module that locates the stoma region and orientation using deep learning-based object detection. A stoma segmentation module that segments the aperture, guard cell, and thick inner wall from the stoma ROI image. And a phenotype quantification module that calculates the phenotype parameters by analyzing the mask image. The experimental results show that the proposed method can resolve stomata with high accuracy (the average R2 of the previous method is 0.66, and the proposed method is 0.96). For the development of the community, we will release the algorithm and tool involved in this article in GitHub.

This study introduces a novel semi-supervised method for 3D segmentation of tubular structures. Complete and automated segmentation of complex tubular structures in medical imaging remains a challenging task. Traditional supervised deep learning methods often demand a tremendous number of annotated data to train the deep model, with the high cost and difficulty of obtaining annotations. To address this, a semi-supervised approach could be a viable solution. Segmenting complex tubular structures with limited annotated data remains a formidable challenge. Many semi-supervised techniques rely on pseudo-labeling, which involves generating labels for unlabeled images based on predictions from a model trained on labeled data. Besides, several semi-supervised learning methods are proposed based on data-level consistency, which enforces consistent predictions by applying perturbations to input images. However, these methods tend to overlook the geometric shape characteristics of the segmentation targets. In our research, we introduce a task-level consistency learning approach that incorporates cross geometry consistency and the Hausdorff distance consistency, taking advantage of the geometric shape properties of both labeled and unlabeled data. Our deep learning model generates both a segmentation map and a distance transform map. By applying the proposed consistency, we ensure that the geometric shapes in both maps align closely, thereby enhancing the accuracy and performance of tubular structure segmentation. We tested our method on airway segmentation in 3D CT scans, where it outperformed the recent state-of-the-art methods, showing an 88.4% tree length detected rate, 82.8% branch detected rate, and 89.7% precision rate.

出版者・発行元：International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition

This manuscript describes a workflow for automatically measuring plant growth from scanned images. To explore the different conditions of plant growth, botanists sow seeds in trays and use imaging devices such as scanners or cameras to record the daily growth of plants. Previous methods behave poorly in root measuring. To design an automated plant growth measurement system, we propose a leaf-root distance-based plant organ measurement method that finds the paths of the root by minimizing the distance energy from the root endpoints to the leaves. This method contains three modules. The first is a deep learning-based plant detection module to detect individual plants' regions of interest (ROI). An organ mask generation module that uses Otsu-thresholding to segment root and leaf. A plant organ analysis module to generate plant phenotypes (e.g., length of primary and lateral roots) from mask images. The experimental results showed that the proposed method had a higher measurement accuracy than previous methods.

Purpose: We propose a large-factor super-resolution (SR) method for performing SR on registered medical image datasets. Conventional SR approaches use low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) image pairs to train a deep convolutional neural network (DCN). However, LR–HR images in medical imaging are commonly acquired from different imaging devices, and acquiring LR–HR image pairs needs registration. Registered LR–HR images have registration errors inevitably. Using LR–HR images with registration error for training an SR DCN causes collapsed SR results. To address these challenges, we introduce a novel SR approach designed specifically for registered LR–HR medical images. Methods: We propose style-subnets-assisted generative latent bank for large-factor super-resolution (SGSR) trained with registered medical image datasets. Pre-trained generative models named generative latent bank (GLB), which stores rich image priors, can be applied in SR to generate realistic and faithful images. We improve GLB by newly introducing style-subnets-assisted GLB (S-GLB). We also propose a novel inter-uncertainty loss to boost our method’s performance. Introducing more spatial information by inputting adjacent slices further improved the results. Results: SGSR outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) supervised SR methods qualitatively and quantitatively on multiple datasets. SGSR achieved higher reconstruction accuracy than recently supervised baselines by increasing peak signal-to-noise ratio from 32.628 to 34.206 dB. Conclusion: SGSR performs large-factor SR while given a registered LR–HR medical image dataset with registration error for training. SGSR’s results have both realistic textures and accurate anatomical structures due to favorable quantitative and qualitative results. Experiments on multiple datasets demonstrated SGSR’s superiority over other SOTA methods. SR medical images generated by SGSR are expected to improve the accuracy of pre-surgery diagnosis and reduce patient burden.

Ossification of the ligaments progresses slowly in the initial stages, and most patients are unaware of the disease until obvious myelopathy symptoms appear. Consequently, treatment and clinical outcomes are not satisfactory. This study is aimed at developing an automated system for the detection of the thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) using deep learning and plain radiography. We retrospectively reviewed the data of 146 patients with thoracic OPLL and 150 control cases without thoracic OPLL. Plain lateral thoracic radiographs were used for object detection, training, and validation. Thereafter, an object detection system was developed, and its accuracy was calculated. The performance of the proposed system was compared with that of two spine surgeons. The accuracy of the proposed object detection model based on plain lateral thoracic radiographs was 83.4%, whereas the accuracies of spine surgeons 1 and 2 were 80.4% and 77.4%, respectively. Our findings indicate that our automated system, which uses a deep learning-based method based on plain radiographs, can accurately detect thoracic OPLL. This system has the potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy of thoracic OPLL.

Spinal cord tumors are infrequently identified spinal diseases that are often difficult to diagnose even with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. To minimize the probability of overlooking these tumors and improve diagnostic accuracy, an automatic diagnostic system is needed. We aimed to develop an automated system for detecting and diagnosing spinal schwannomas and meningiomas based on deep learning using You Only Look Once (YOLO) version 4 and MRI. In this retrospective diagnostic accuracy study, the data of 50 patients with spinal schwannomas, 45 patients with meningiomas, and 100 control cases were reviewed, respectively. Sagittal T1-weighted (T1W) and T2-weighted (T2W) images were used for object detection, classification, training, and validation. The object detection and diagnosis system was developed using YOLO version 4. The accuracies of the proposed object detections based on T1W, T2W, and T1W + T2W images were 84.8%, 90.3%, and 93.8%, respectively. The accuracies of the object detection for two spine surgeons were 88.9% and 90.1%, respectively. The accuracies of the proposed diagnoses based on T1W, T2W, and T1W + T2W images were 76.4%, 83.3%, and 84.1%, respectively. The accuracies of the diagnosis for two spine surgeons were 77.4% and 76.1%, respectively. We demonstrated an accurate, automated detection and diagnosis of spinal schwannomas and meningiomas using the developed deep learning-based method based on MRI. This system could be valuable in supporting radiological diagnosis of spinal schwannomas and meningioma, with a potential of reducing the radiologist’s overall workload.

Objectives: In this study we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence-based model for predicting postendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed ERCP patients at Nagoya University Hospital (NUH) and Toyota Memorial Hospital (TMH). We constructed two prediction models, a random forest (RF), one of the machine-learning algorithms, and a logistic regression (LR) model. First, we selected features of each model from 40 possible features. Then the models were trained and validated using three fold cross-validation in the NUH cohort and tested in the TMH cohort. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used to assess model performance. Finally, using the output parameters of the RF model, we classified the patients into low-, medium-, and high-risk groups. Results: A total of 615 patients at NUH and 544 patients at TMH were enrolled. Ten features were selected for the RF model, including albumin, creatinine, biliary tract cancer, pancreatic cancer, bile duct stone, total procedure time, pancreatic duct injection, pancreatic guidewire-assisted technique without a pancreatic stent, intraductal ultrasonography, and bile duct biopsy. In the three fold cross-validation, the RF model showed better predictive ability than the LR model (AUROC 0.821 vs. 0.660). In the test, the RF model also showed better performance (AUROC 0.770 vs. 0.663, P = 0.002). Based on the RF model, we classified the patients according to the incidence of PEP (2.9%, 10.0%, and 23.9%). Conclusion: We developed an RF model. Machine-learning algorithms could be powerful tools to develop accurate prediction models.

Purpose: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive treatment for early gastric cancer. However, perforations may happen and cause peritonitis during ESD. Thus, there is a potential demand for a computer-aided diagnosis system to support physicians in ESD. This paper presents a method to detect and localize perforations from colonoscopy videos to avoid perforation ignoring or enlarging by ESD physicians. Method: We proposed a training method for YOLOv3 by using GIoU and Gaussian affinity losses for perforation detection and localization in colonoscopic images. In this method, the object functional contains the generalized intersection over Union loss and Gaussian affinity loss. We propose a training method for the architecture of YOLOv3 with the presented loss functional to detect and localize perforations precisely. Results: To qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the presented method, we created a dataset from 49 ESD videos. The results of the presented method on our dataset revealed a state-of-the-art performance of perforation detection and localization, which achieved 0.881 accuracy, 0.869 AUC, and 0.879 mean average precision. Furthermore, the presented method is able to detect a newly appeared perforation in 0.1 s. Conclusions: The experimental results demonstrated that YOLOv3 trained by the presented loss functional were very effective in perforation detection and localization. The presented method can quickly and precisely remind physicians of perforation happening in ESD. We believe a future CAD system can be constructed for clinical applications with the proposed method.

Purpose: Postoperative complication prediction helps surgeons to inform and manage patient expectations. Deep learning, a model that finds patterns in large samples of data, outperform traditional statistical methods in making predictions. This study aimed to create a deep learning-based model (DLM) to predict postoperative complications in patients with cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Methods: This prospective multicenter study was conducted by the 28 institutions, and 478 patients were included in the analysis. Deep learning was used to create two predictive models of the overall postoperative complications and neurological complications, one of the major complications. These models were constructed by learning the patient's preoperative background, clinical symptoms, surgical procedures, and imaging findings. These logistic regression models were also created, and these accuracies were compared with those of the DLM. Results: Overall complications were observed in 127 cases (26.6%). The accuracy of the DLM was 74.6 ± 3.7% for predicting the overall occurrence of complications, which was comparable to that of the logistic regression (74.1%). Neurological complications were observed in 48 cases (10.0%), and the accuracy of the DLM was 91.7 ± 3.5%, which was higher than that of the logistic regression (90.1%). Conclusion: A new algorithm using deep learning was able to predict complications after cervical OPLL surgery. This model was well calibrated, with prediction accuracy comparable to that of regression models. The accuracy remained high even for predicting only neurological complications, for which the case number is limited compared to conventional statistical methods.

Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE 12466 巻 2023年

出版者・発行元：Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE

In this paper, we present a segmentation method for laparoscopic images using semantically similar groups for multi-class semantic segmentation. Accurate semantic segmentation is a key problem for computer assisted surgeries. Common segmentation models do not explicitly learn similarities between classes. We propose a model that, in addition to learning to segment an image into classes, also learns to segment it into human-defined semantically similar groups. We modify the LinkNet34 architecture by adding a second decoder with an auxiliary task of segmenting the image into these groups. The feature maps of the second decoder are merged into the final decoder. We validate our method against our base model LinkNet34 and a larger LinkNet50. We find that our proposed modification increased the performance both with mean Dice (average +1.5%) and mean Intersection over Union metrics (average +2.8%) on two laparoscopic datasets.

出版者・発行元：Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE

This paper introduces the improved method for the COVID-19 classification based on computed tomography (CT) volumes using a combination of a complex-architecture convolutional neural network (CNN) and orthogonal ensemble networks (OEN). The novel coronavirus disease reported in 2019 (COVID-19) is still spreading worldwide. Early and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 is required in such a situation, and the CT scan is an essential examination. Various computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) methods have been developed to assist and accelerate doctors' diagnoses. Although one of the effective methods is ensemble learning, existing methods combine some major models which do not specialize in COVID-19. In this study, we attempted to improve the performance of a CNN for the COVID-19 classification based on chest CT volumes. The CNN model specializes in feature extraction from anisotropic chest CT volumes. We adopt the OEN, an ensemble learning method considering inter-model diversity, to boost its feature extraction ability. For the experiment, We used chest CT volumes of 1283 cases acquired in multiple medical institutions in Japan. The classification result on 257 test cases indicated that the combination could improve the classification performance.

This article describes a method for bronchial nomenclature using real bronchoscopic (RB) images and pre-built knowledge base of branches. The bronchus has a complex tree-like structure, which increases the difficulty of bronchoscopy. Therefore, a bronchoscopic navigation system is used to help physicians during examination. Conventional navigation system used preoperative CT images and real bronchoscopic images to obtain the camera pose for navigation, whose accuracy is influenced by organ deformation. We propose a bronchial nomenclature method to estimate branch names for bronchoscopic navigation. This method consists of a bronchus knowledge base construction model, a camera motion estimation module, an anatomical structure tracking module, and a branch name estimation module. The knowledge base construction module is used to find the relationship of each branch. The anatomical tracking module is used to track the bronchial orifice (BO) extracted in each RB frame. The camera motion estimation module is used to estimate the camera motion between two frames. The branch name estimation module uses the pre-built bronchus knowledge base and BO tracking results to find the name of each branch. Experimental results showed that it is possible to estimate branch names using only RB images and the pre-built knowledge base of branches.

出版者・発行元：Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE

Neuromelanin magnetic resonance imaging (NM-MRI) has been widely used in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) for its significantly enhanced contrast between the PD-related structure, the substantia nigra (SN) and surrounding tissues. To develop the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system of PD and reduce the labor burden of clinicians, precise and automatic segmentation of SN is becoming more and more desired. This paper proposes a novel network combining the priority gating attention and Bayesian learning for improving the accuracy of fully automatic SN segmentation from NM-MRI. Different from the conventional gated attention model, the proposed network uses the prior SN probability map for guiding the attention computation and reducing the potential disruptions introduced by the background. Additionally, to lower the risks of over-fitting and estimate the confidence scores for the segmentation results, Bayesian learning with Monte Carlo dropout is applied in the training and testing phases. The quantitative results showed that the proposed network acquired the averaged Dice score of 79.46% in comparison with the baseline model 77.93%.

Octree Cube Constraints in PBD Method for High Resolution Surgical Simulation

Miyazaki Rintaro, Hayashi Yuichiro, Oda Masahiro, Mori Kensaku

MEDICAL IMAGING 2023 12464 巻 2023年

出版者・発行元：Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE

This paper proposes a deformable tissue model that introduces octree lattice vertex layout and cubic constraints to the orthodox PBD (Position Based Dynamics) method. Surgical simulation is expected to provide a safe method for training in surgery, which is especially useful for preoperative education of inexperienced surgeons and/or for the case a prior attempt is required. To build a surgical simulator, it is necessary to develop organ models with deformations and interaction algorithms between surgical instruments and organ models, all of which must be performed in real time. Since existing surgical simulators focus on real-time performance, the resolution of organ models is limited. The proposed method restricts the vertex locations of the PBD method to the vertices of the octree lattice to save computation time while maintaining a high deformation resolution. To obtain appropriate results even for large deformations, three-dimensional constraints are applied to each octree cube as the constraints of the PBD method. In the simulations, we tested the overall deformation by dropping a liver model and the local deformation scene by laparoscopic clipping. As a result, we achieved deformation simulations at 26.5 fps for the model with approximately 2,672 cube elements and 20,659 vertices.

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（国際会議プロシーディングス）出版者・発行元：Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE

Medical image analysis approaches such as data augmentation and domain adaption need huge amounts of realistic medical images. Generating realistic medical images by machine learning is a feasible approach. We propose L-former, a lightweight Transformer for realistic medical image generation. L-former can generate more reliable and realistic medical images than recent generative adversarial networks (GANs). Meanwhile, L-former does not consume as high computational cost as conventional Transformer-based generative models. L-former uses Transformers to generate low-resolution feature vectors at shallow layers, and uses convolutional neural networks to generate high-resolution realistic medical images at deep layers. Experimental results showed that L-former outperformed conventional GANs by FID scores 33.79 and 76.85 on two datasets, respectively. We further conducted a downstream study by using the images generated by L-former to perform a super-resolution task. A high PSNR score of 27.87 proved L-former’s ability to generate reliable images for super-resolution and showed its potential for applications in medical diagnosis.

This paper proposes an automated classification method of COVID-19 chest CT volumes using improved 3D MLP-Mixer. Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads over the world, causing a large number of infected patients and deaths. Sudden increase in the number of COVID-19 patients causes a manpower shortage in medical institutions. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system provides quick and quantitative diagnosis results. CAD system for COVID-19 enables efficient diagnosis workflow and contributes to reduce such manpower shortage. In image-based diagnosis of viral pneumonia cases including COVID-19, both local and global image features are important because viral pneumonia cause many ground glass opacities and consolidations in large areas in the lung. This paper proposes an automated classification method of chest CT volumes for COVID-19 diagnosis assistance. MLP-Mixer is a recent method of image classification using Vision Transformer-like architecture. It performs classification using both local and global image features. To classify 3D CT volumes, we developed a hybrid classification model that consists of both a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) and a 3D version of the MLP-Mixer. Classification accuracy of the proposed method was evaluated using a dataset that contains 1205 CT volumes and obtained 79.5% of classification accuracy. The accuracy was higher than that of conventional 3D CNN models consists of 3D CNN layers and simple MLP layers.

Oesophageal achalasia is a primary oesophageal motility disorder disease. To diagnose oesophagus achalasia, physicians recommend endoscopic evaluation of the oesophagus. However, a low sensitivity still accompanies esophagoscopy on oesophagus achalasia diagnosis. Thus, a quantitative diagnosis system is needed to support physicians diagnose achalasia from the esophagoscopy video. This paper proposes a Serial Multi-scale Network for classifying achalasia images from the esophagoscopy video. The proposed method contains two main components, a Dense-pooling Net, and a Serial Multi-scale Dilated encoder. We construct the Dense-pooling Net using a convolution neural network with dense mixed-pooling connections to extract features. We design the Serial Multi-scale Dilated encoder based on a residual-style dilated encoder. We combine the dilated encoder and spatial attention modules to focus on features we need. We trained and evaluated our method with a dataset that was extracted from several esophagoscopy videos of achalasia patients. The evaluation results reveal a state-of-the-art accuracy of achalasia diagnosis. Furthermore, we developed a real-time computer-aided achalasia diagnosis system with the trained network. In the real-time test, the achalasia diagnosis system can stably output the diagnosis results in only (Formula presented.) seconds. The extended experiments demonstrate that the constructed diagnosis system can diagnose achalasia from esophagoscopy videos.

We propose a spatio-temporal mixing kinematic data estimation method to estimate the shape of the colon with deformations caused by colonoscope insertion. Endoscope tracking or a navigation system that navigates physicians to target positions is needed to reduce such complications as organ perforations. Although many previous methods focused to track bronchoscopes and surgical endoscopes, few number of colonoscope tracking methods were proposed because the colon largely deforms during colonoscope insertion. The deformation causes significant tracking errors. Colon deformation should be considered in the tracking process. We propose a colon shape estimation method using a Kinematic Spatio-Temporal data Mixer (KST-Mixer) that can be used during colonoscope insertions to the colon. Kinematic data of a colonoscope and the colon, including positions and directions of their centerlines, are obtained using electromagnetic and depth sensors. The proposed method separates the data into sub-groups along the spatial and temporal axes. The KST-Mixer extracts kinematic features and mix them along the axes multiple times. We evaluated colon shape estimation accuracies in phantom studies. The proposed method achieved 11.92 mm mean Euclidean distance error, the smallest of the previous methods. Statistical analysis indicated that the proposed method significantly reduced the error compared to the previous methods.

出版者・発行元：Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE

In this paper, we propose a scheme that includes automated extraction of thrombus regions and quantitative analysis of thrombosis in confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) blood flow image sequence. Making thrombosis model in animal models play an important role in the development of antithrombotic drugs and ascertaining thrombosis mechanisms. Making thrombosis model in cerebral cortex of mice is usually observed using a CLSM in the fluorescence mode. However, some small changes of thrombus regions are not easily observed in CLSM blood flow image sequences. In addition, it is not easy for researchers to quantitatively analyze the degree of thrombosis. Therefore, we propose a scheme to achieve automatic thrombosis region extraction and quantitative analysis. In which, our thrombosis region extraction method uses analysis of changing pattern of thrombosis regions in CLSM blood flow image sequence. Experimental results showed that our scheme can help biological researchers observe and analyze the changes of thrombosis in animal models and reduced the use of fluorescent thrombus markers.

We present a general framework for medical image segmentation from limited supervision, reducing the reliance on fully and densely labeled data. Our method is simple, jointly trains triple diverse models, and adopts a mix augmentation scheme, and thus is called TriMix. TriMix imposes consistency under a more challenging perturbation, i.e., combining data augmentation and model diversity on the tri-training framework. This straightforward strategy enables TriMix to serve as a strong and general learner learning from limited supervision using different kinds of imperfect labels. We conduct extensive experiments to show TriMix’s generic purpose for semi- and weakly-supervised segmentation tasks. Compared to task-specific state-of-the-arts, TriMix achieves competitive performance and sometimes surpasses them by a large margin. The code is available at https://github.com/MoriLabNU/TriMix.

This work proposes an innovative self-supervised approach to monocular depth estimation in laparoscopic scenarios. Previous methods independently predicted depth maps ignoring spatial coherence in local regions and temporal correlation between adjacent images. The proposed approach leverages spatio-temporal coherence to address the challenges of textureless areas and homogeneous colors in such scenes. This approach utilizes a multi-view depth estimation model to guide monocular depth estimation when predicting depth maps. Moreover, the minimum reprojection error is extended to construct a cost volume for the multi-view model using adjacent images. Additionally, a 3D consistency of the point cloud back-projected from predicted depth maps is optimized for the monocular depth estimation model. To benefit from spatial coherence, deformable patch-matching is introduced to the monocular and multi-view models to smooth depth maps in local regions. Finally, a cycled prediction learning for view synthesis and relative poses is designed to exploit the temporal correlation between adjacent images fully. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations. Our code is available at https://github.com/MoriLabNU/MGMDepthL.

Semantic segmentation of laparoscopic images is an important issue for intraoperative guidance in laparoscopic surgery. However, acquiring and annotating laparoscopic datasets is labor-intensive, which limits the research on this topic. In this paper, we tackle the Domain-Adaptive Semantic Segmentation (DASS) task, which aims to train a segmentation network using only computer-generated simulated images and unlabeled real images. To bridge the large domain gap between generated and real images, we propose a Masked Frequency Consistency (MFC) module that encourages the network to learn frequency-related information of the target domain as additional cues for robust recognition. Specifically, MFC randomly masks some high-frequency information of the image to improve the consistency of the network’s predictions for low-frequency images and real images. We conduct extensive experiments on existing DASS frameworks with our MFC module and show performance improvements. Our approach achieves comparable results to fully supervised learning method on the CholecSeg8K dataset without using any manual annotation. The code is available at github.com/MoriLabNU/MFC.

Developing a generalized segmentation model capable of simultaneously delineating multiple organs and diseases is highly desirable. Federated learning (FL) is a key technology enabling the collaborative development of a model without exchanging training data. However, the limited access to fully annotated training data poses a major challenge to training generalizable models. We propose “ConDistFL”, a framework to solve this problem by combining FL with knowledge distillation. Local models can extract the knowledge of unlabeled organs and tumors from partially annotated data from the global model with an adequately designed conditional probability representation. We validate our framework on four distinct partially annotated abdominal CT datasets from the MSD and KiTS19 challenges. The experimental results show that the proposed framework significantly outperforms FedAvg and FedOpt baselines. Moreover, the performance on an external test dataset demonstrates superior generalizability compared to models trained on each dataset separately. Our ablation study suggests that ConDistFL can perform well without frequent aggregation, reducing the communication cost of FL. Our implementation will be available at https://github.com/NVIDIA/NVFlare/tree/main/research/condist-fl.

Polyp segmentation from colonoscopy videos is an essential task in medical image processing for detecting early cancer. However, segmenting a precise boundary is still challenging, even with powerful deep neural networks. We consider the difficulty can be caused by: (1) the ambiguity boundary and (2) some complicated shape makes polyps hard to segment. To address these problems, we propose the Boundary-aware Feature and Prediction Refinement framework (BaFPR) for polyp segmentation. Specifically, we design a segmentation decoder for representation learning with boundary prior and propose a novel consistency loss to learn clues from the polar coordinate. The decoder mainly consists of a boundary prior module (BPM) and a bi-directional fusion module (BiFM). BPM is designed to learn the boundary prior, while BiFM learns to fuse representations of BPM and multi-scale representations from an encoder. To handle these complicated shapes of polyps, we maintain an extra segmentation network that learns with polar transformations of data to provide extra clues for the main segmentation network by our proposed consistency loss. We evaluated BaFPR with five challenging datasets for polyp segmentation and the results showed that our proposal consistently improves the segmentation performance of polyps.

Physicians use an endoscopic navigation system during bronchoscopy to decrease the risk of getting lost in complex tree-structure like bronchus. Most existing navigation systems based on the camera pose estimated from bronchoscope tracking and/or deep learning. However, bronchoscope tracking-based method exists tracking error, and the pre-training of the model needs massive data. This paper describes an improved bronchoscope tracking procedure by adopting image domain translation technique to improve tracking performance. Specifically, our scheme consists of three modules, an RGB-D image domain translation module, an anatomical structure classification module and a structure-aware bronchoscope tracking module. The RGB-D image domain translation module translates a real bronchoscope (RB) image to its corresponding virtual bronchoscope image and depth image. The anatomical dependency module classifies the current scene into two categories: structureless and rich structure. The bronchoscope tracking module uses a modified video-CT bronchoscope tracking approach to estimate camera pose. Experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved higher tracking accuracy than the current state-of-the-art bronchoscope tracking methods.

This study presents a novel framework for classifying and visualizing pneumonia induced by COVID-19 from CT images. Although many image classification methods using deep learning have been proposed, in the case of medical image fields, standard classification methods are unable to be used in some cases because the medical images that belong to the same category vary depending on the progression of the symptoms and the size of the inflamed area. In addition, it is essential that the models used be transparent and explainable, allowing health care providers to trust the models and avoid mistakes. In this study, we propose a classification method using contrastive learning and an attention mechanism. Contrastive learning is able to close the distance for images of the same category and generate a better feature space for classification. An attention mechanism is able to emphasize an important area in the image and visualize the location related to classification. Through experiments conducted on two-types of classification using a three-fold cross validation, we confirmed that the classification accuracy was significantly improved; in addition, a detailed visual explanation was achieved comparison with conventional methods.

This work proposes a new feature extraction method to analyse patterns of the substantia nigra in Parkinson disease. Recent imaging techniques such that neuromelanin-sensitive MRI enable us to recognise the region of the substantia nigra and capture early Parkinson-disease-related changes. However, automated feature extraction of Parkinson-disease-related changes and their geometrical interpretation are still challenging. To tackle these challenges, we introduce a fifth-order tensor expression of multi-sequence MRI data such as T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and neuromelanin images and its tensor decomposition. Reconstruction from the selected components of the decomposition visualises the discriminative patterns of the substantia nigra between normal and Parkinson-disease patients. We collected multi-sequence MRI data from 155 patients for experiments. Using the collected data, we validate the proposed method and analyse discriminative patterns in the substantia nigra. Experimental results show that the geometrical interpretation of selected features coincides with neuropathological characteristics.

Segmentation studies in medical image analysis are always associated with a particular task scenario. However, building datasets to train models to segment multiple types of organs and pathologies is challenging. For example, a dataset annotated for the pancreas and pancreatic tumors will result in a model that cannot segment other organs, like the liver and spleen, visible in the same abdominal computed tomography image. The lack of a well-annotated dataset is one limitation resulting in a lack of universal segmentation models. Federated learning (FL) is ideally suited for addressing this issue in the real-world context. In this work, we show that each medical center can use training data for distinct tasks to collaboratively build more generalizable segmentation models for multiple segmentation tasks without the requirement to centralize datasets in one place. The main challenge of this research is the heterogeneity of training data from various institutions and segmentation tasks. In this paper, we propose a multi-task segmentation framework using FL to learn segmentation models using several independent datasets with different annotations of organs or tumors. We include experiments on four publicly available single-task datasets, including MSD liver (w/ tumor), MSD spleen, MSD pancreas (w/ tumor), and KITS19. Experimental results on an external validation set to highlight the advantages of employing FL in multi-task organ and tumor segmentation.

Depth values are essential information to automate surgical robots and achieve Augmented Reality technology for minimally invasive surgery. Although depth-pose self-supervised monocular depth estimation performs impressively for autonomous driving scenarios, it is more challenging to predict accurate depth values for laparoscopic images due to the following two aspects: (i) the laparoscope’s motions contain many rotations, leading to pose estimation difficulties for the depth-pose learning strategy; (ii) the smooth surface reduces photometric error even if the matching pixels are inaccurate between adjacent frames. This paper proposes a novel self-supervised monocular depth estimation for laparoscopic images with geometric constraints. We predict the scene coordinates as an auxiliary task and construct dual-task consistency between the predicted depth maps and scene coordinates under a unified camera coordinate system to achieve pixel-level geometric constraints. We extend the pose estimation into a Siamese process to provide stronger and more balanced geometric constraints in a depth-pose learning strategy by leveraging the order of the adjacent frames in a video sequence. We also design a weight mask for depth estimation based on our consistency to alleviate the interference from predictions with low confidence. The experimental results showed that the proposed method outperformed the baseline on depth and pose estimation. Our code is available at https://github.com/MoriLabNU/GCDepthL.

Purpose: Precise polyp detection and localisation are essential for colonoscopy diagnosis. Statistical machine learning with a large-scale data set can contribute to the construction of a computer-aided diagnosis system for the prevention of overlooking and miss-localisation of a polyp in colonoscopy. We propose new visual explaining methods for a well-trained object detector, which achieves fast and accurate polyp detection with a bounding box towards a precise automated polyp localisation. Method: We refine gradient-weighted class activation mapping for more accurate highlighting of important patterns in processing a convolutional neural network. Extending the refined mapping into multiscaled processing, we define object activation mapping that highlights important object patterns in an image for a detection task. Finally, we define polyp activation mapping to achieve precise polyp localisation by integrating adaptive local thresholding into object activation mapping. We experimentally evaluate the proposed visual explaining methods with four publicly available databases. Results: The refined mapping visualises important patterns in each convolutional layer more accurately than the original gradient-weighted class activation mapping. The object activation mapping clearly visualises important patterns in colonoscopic images for polyp detection. The polyp activation mapping localises the detected polyps in ETIS-Larib, CVC-Clinic and Kvasir-SEG database with mean Dice scores of 0.76, 0.72 and 0.72, respectively. Conclusions: We developed new visual explaining methods for a convolutional neural network by refining and extending gradient-weighted class activation mapping. Experimental results demonstrated the validity of the proposed methods by showing that accurate visualisation of important patterns and localisation of polyps in a colonoscopic image. The proposed visual explaining methods are useful for the interpreting and applying a trained polyp detector.

The stereomicroscope, which is an optical microscope, is used to observe the organoids cultured in cranial windows. A cranial window is a light accessible observation window made on the brain of mice through craniotomy. Organoids research is often conducted on cranial windows. Hence, the observation of blood vessels in them is important for organoid research, like organoid vascularization. Therefore, achieving a simple, low-cost method that extracts blood vessel structures would significantly help researchers observe the blood vessels in cranial windows from microscopic images. However, wide-field optical microscopic images taken by stereomicroscope suffer from low contrast and dura mater occlusion, complicating the observation of the blood vessels in such images. To address such problems and assist researchers who are observing vascular structures, we propose a method that segments blood vessels in cranial windows from low-contrast and wide-field microscopic images. Our method is based on the Attention U-Net framework and clDice, which considers the connectivity of blood vessels. In addition, for low-contrast and partial occlusion problems, we used contrast enhancement and dehazing as preprocessing steps. Our method achieved a Dice score of 75.56%, a clDice score of 79.95%, and the Accuracy of 91.41% on our microscopic image dataset, suggesting that our method can extract blood vessels from low-contrast and wide-field microscopic images better than other methods.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. As overall cure rates of childhood ALL have improved, reduction of overall treatment intensity while still ensuring excellent outcomes is imperative for low-risk patients. We report the outcomes of patients treated following the standard-risk protocol from the prospective Japan Association of Childhood Leukemia Study (JACLS) ALL-02 study, which was conducted between 2002 and 2008 for patients with newly diagnosed ALL aged 1–18 years. Of 1138 patients with B-cell precursor ALL, 388 (34.1%) were allocated to this protocol. Excellent outcomes were achieved despite the overall treatment intensity being lower than that of most contemporary protocols: 4 years event-free survival (EFS) was 92.3% and 4 years overall survival 98.2%. Patients with high hyperdiploidy (HHD) involving triple trisomy (trisomy of chromosomes 4, 10, and 17) or ETV6-RUNX1 had even better outcomes (4 years EFS 97.6% and 100%, respectively). Unique characteristics of this protocol include a selection of low-risk patients with a low initial WBC count and good early treatment response and reduction of cumulative doses of chemotherapeutic agents while maintaining dose density. In Japan, we are currently investigating the feasibility of this protocol while incorporating minimal residual disease into the patient stratification strategy.

Purpose: Pancreatic duct dilation can be considered an early sign of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, there is little existing research focused on dilated pancreatic duct segmentation as a potential screening tool for people without PDAC. Dilated pancreatic duct segmentation is difficult due to the lack of readily available labeled data and strong voxel imbalance between the pancreatic duct region and other regions. To overcome these challenges, we propose a two-step approach for dilated pancreatic duct segmentation from abdominal computed tomography (CT) volumes using fully convolutional networks (FCNs). Methods: Our framework segments the pancreatic duct in a cascaded manner. The pancreatic duct occupies a tiny portion of abdominal CT volumes. Therefore, to concentrate on the pancreas regions, we use a public pancreas dataset to train an FCN to generate an ROI covering the pancreas and use a 3D U-Net-like FCN for coarse pancreas segmentation. To further improve the dilated pancreatic duct segmentation, we deploy a skip connection on each corresponding resolution level and an attention mechanism in the bottleneck layer. Moreover, we introduce a combined loss function based on Dice loss and Focal loss. Random data augmentation is adopted throughout the experiments to improve the generalizability of the model. Results: We manually created a dilated pancreatic duct dataset with semi-automated annotation tools. Experimental results showed that our proposed framework is practical for dilated pancreatic duct segmentation. The average Dice score and sensitivity were 49.9% and 51.9%, respectively. These results show the potential of our approach as a clinical screening tool. Conclusions: We investigate an automated framework for dilated pancreatic duct segmentation. The cascade strategy effectively improved the segmentation performance of the pancreatic duct. Our modifications to the FCNs together with random data augmentation and the proposed combined loss function facilitate automated segmentation.

This paper presents an automated real-time esophagus achalasia (achalasia) detection method for esophagoscopy assistance. Achalasia is a well-recognized primary esophageal motor disorder of unknown etiology. To diagnose the achalasia, endoscopic evaluation of the esophagus and stomach is recommended to ensure that there is not a malignancy causing the disease or esophageal squamous cell carcinoma complicating achalasia. However, esophagoscopy is low sensitive in the early-stage of achalasia, only about half of patients with early-stage achalasia can be identified. Thus, a quantitative detection system of real-time esophagoscopy video is required for diagnosis assistance of achalasia. This paper presents to use of a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect all achalasia frames in esophagoscopy videos. The features of achalasia cannot be easily distinguished. To better extract features from esophagoscopy frames, we introduce dense pooling connections and dilated convolutions in the CNN. We trained and evaluated our network with an original dataset that is extracted from several esophagoscopy videos of achalasia patients. Furthermore, we develop a real-time achalasia detection ComputerAided Diagnosis (CAD) system with the trained network. The CAD system can detect each frame from the input esophagoscopy videos with only 0.1 milliseconds delay. The real-time achalasia detection system achieved 0.872 accuracy, and 0.943 AUC score on our dataset.

This paper presents a new 3D-spatial feature extraction from a 2D colonoscopic image for polyp-size estimation. The polyp-size estimation poses potential demands on colonoscopy, since an endoscopist’s subjective estimation is apt to result in uncertain polyp-size determination. This uncertain determination is derived from the lack of 3D-spatial information. Even though a previous work clarified that depth estimation mitigates uncertainty in binary polyp-size classification, precise estimation of 3D structure from a colonoscopic image(s) remains an unsolved challenge in medical image analysis. This work proposes a 3D-spatial feature that expresses a polyp’s precise 3D shape to mitigate uncertainty in polyp-size determination. First, we introduce an accurate depth estimation method to capture the 3D structure of a colon. Next, we integrate depth estimation and polyp localisation to extract a 3D polyp shape as a feature. Finally, we achieve polyp-size estimation by statistical learning of extracted features. The experimental results demonstrated the validity both of our depth estimation and 3D-spatial feature. Compared with deep RGB and RGB-D convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a shallow CNN with the proposed 3D-spatial feature achieved a more accurate polyp-size estimation with a mean absolute error of 1.36 mm, whereas the one of the deep CNN is 3.11 mm.

Background and Aims: Recently, the use of computer-aided detection (CADe) for colonoscopy has been investigated to improve the adenoma detection rate (ADR). We aimed to assess the efficacy of a regulatory-approved CADe in a large-scale study with high numbers of patients and endoscopists. Methods: This was a propensity score–matched prospective study that took place at a university hospital between July 2020 and December 2020. We recruited patients aged ≥20 years who were scheduled for colonoscopy. Patients with polyposis, inflammatory bowel disease, or incomplete colonoscopy were excluded. We used a regulatory-approved CADe system and conducted a propensity score matching–based comparison of the ADR between patients examined with and without CADe as the primary outcome. Results: During the study period, 2261 patients underwent colonoscopy with the CADe system or routine colonoscopy, and 172 patients were excluded in accordance with the exclusion criteria. Thirty endoscopists (9 nonexperts and 21 experts) were involved in this study. Propensity score matching was conducted using 5 factors, resulting in 1836 patients included in the analysis (918 patients in each group). The ADR was significantly higher in the CADe group than in the control group (26.4% vs 19.9%, respectively; relative risk, 1.32; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-1.57); however, there was no significant increase in the advanced neoplasia detection rate (3.7% vs 2.9%, respectively). Conclusions: The use of the CADe system for colonoscopy significantly increased the ADR in a large-scale prospective study including 30 endoscopists (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN000040677.)

Automatic segmentation of substantia nigra (SN), which is Parkinson’s disease-related tissue, is an important step toward accurate computer-aided diagnosis systems. Conventional methods for SN segmentation depend heavily on limited magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities such as neuromelanin and quantitative susceptibility mapping, which require longer imaging times and are rare in public datasets. To enable a multi-modal investigation for SN anatomic alterations based on medical bigdata researches, the need for automated SN segmentation arises from commonly investigated T2-weighted MRIs. To improve the performance of the automated SN segmentation from a T2-weighted MRI and enhance the model generalization for cross-center researches, this paper proposes a novel test-time normalization (TTN) method to increase the geometric and intensity similarity between the query data and the model’s trained data. Our proposed method requires no additional training procedure or extra annotation for the unseen data. Our results showed that our proposed TTN achieved a mean Dice score of 71.08% in comparison with the baseline model’s 69.87% score with in-house dataset. Additionally, improved SN segmentation performance was observed from the unseen and unlabeled datasets.

Depth estimation is an essential tool in obtaining depth information for robotic surgery and augmented reality technology in the current laparoscopic surgery robot system. Since there is a lack of ground-truth for depth values and laparoscope motions during operation, depth estimation networks have difficulties in predicting depth maps from laparoscopic images under the supervised strategy. It is challenging to generate the correct depth maps for the different environments from abdominal images. To tackle these problems, we propose a novel monocular self-supervised depth estimation network with sparse nest architecture. We design a non-local block to capture broader and deeper context features that can further enhance the scene-variant generalisation capacity of the network for the differences in datasets. Moreover, we introduce an improved multi-mask feature in the loss function to tackle the classical occlusion problem based on the time-series information from stereo videos. We also use heteroscedastic aleatoric uncertainty to reduce the effect of noisy data for depth estimation. We compared our proposed method with other existing methods for different scenes in datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed model outperformed the state-of-the-art models qualitatively and quantitatively.

We propose a depth estimation method from a single-shot monocular endoscopic image using Lambertian surface translation by domain adaptation and depth estimation using multi-scale edge loss. We employ a two-step estimation process including Lambertian surface translation from unpaired data and depth estimation. The texture and specular reflection on the surface of an organ reduce the accuracy of depth estimations. We apply Lambertian surface translation to an endoscopic image to remove these texture and reflections. Then, we estimate the depth by using a fully convolutional network (FCN). During the training of the FCN, improvement of the object edge similarity between an estimated image and a ground truth depth image is important for getting better results. We introduced a muti-scale edge loss function to improve the accuracy of depth estimation. We quantitatively evaluated the proposed method using real colonoscopic images. The estimated depth values were proportional to the real depth values. Furthermore, we applied the estimated depth images to automated anatomical location identification of colonoscopic images using a convolutional neural network. The identification accuracy of the network improved from 69.2% to 74.1% by using the estimated depth images.

Pancreatic duct dilation indicates a high risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the deadliest cancer with a poor prognosis. Segmentation of dilated pancreatic duct from CT taken from patients without PDAC shows the potential to assist the early detection of PDAC. Most current researches include pancreatic duct segmentation as one additional class for patients who have already detected PDAC. However, the dilated pancreatic duct for people who have not yet developed PDAC is typically much smaller, making the segmentation difficult. Deep learning-based segmentation on tiny components is challenging because of the large imbalance between the target object and irrelevant regions. In this work, we explore an attention-guided approach for dilated pancreatic duct segmentation as a screening tool for pre-PDAC patients, enhancing the pancreas regions’ concentration and ignoring the unnecessary features. We employ a multi-scale aggregation to combine the information at different scales to improve the segmentation performance further. Our proposed multi-scale pancreatic attention-guided approach achieved a Dice score of 54.16% on dilated pancreatic duct dataset, which shows a significant improvement over prior techniques.

Federated learning (FL) for medical image segmentation becomes more challenging in multi-task settings where clients might have different categories of labels represented in their data. For example, one client might have patient data with “healthy” pancreases only while datasets from other clients may contain cases with pancreatic tumors. The vanilla federated averaging algorithm makes it possible to obtain more generalizable deep learning-based segmentation models representing the training data from multiple institutions without centralizing datasets. However, it might be sub-optimal for the aforementioned multi-task scenarios. In this paper, we investigate heterogeneous optimization methods that show improvements for the automated segmentation of pancreas and pancreatic tumors in abdominal CT images with FL settings.

This paper proposes an intestine segmentation method from CT volumes for the intestinal obstruction and the ileus diagnosis assistance. The previous method was built based on the 3D U-Net, whose computational cost was high. Nevertheless, there was no confirmation that the 3-dimensional network contributed to the segmentation performance. In this paper, we propose a method utilizing the 2D U-Net on behalf of the previous methods’ 3D U-Net. Experimental results using 110 CT volumes showed that both the proposed (2D U-Net) and previous (3D U-Net) methods achieved similar scores for the segmentation accuracy and system usefulness. In addition, the proposed method’s inference was 0.5 min on average, around 8-times faster than the 3D U-Net’s. Although subsequent processes still require more than 20 min for each case, utilizing lightweight networks is essential for practical use in the future, especially for emergency diagnosis.

This paper proposes a segmentation method of infection regions in the lung from CT volumes of COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 spread worldwide, causing many infected patients and deaths. CT image-based diagnosis of COVID-19 can provide quick and accurate diagnosis results. An automated segmentation method of infection regions in the lung provides a quantitative criterion for diagnosis. Previous methods employ whole 2D image or 3D volume-based processes. Infection regions have a considerable variation in their sizes. Such processes easily miss small infection regions. Patch-based process is effective for segmenting small targets. However, selecting the appropriate patch size is difficult in infection region segmentation. We utilize the scale uncertainty among various receptive field sizes of a segmentation FCN to obtain infection regions. The receptive field sizes can be defined as the patch size and the resolution of volumes where patches are clipped from. This paper proposes an infection segmentation network (ISNet) that performs patch-based segmentation and a scale uncertainty-aware prediction aggregation method that refines the segmentation result. We design ISNet to segment infection regions that have various intensity values. ISNet has multiple encoding paths to process patch volumes normalized by multiple intensity ranges. We collect prediction results generated by ISNets having various receptive field sizes. Scale uncertainty among the prediction results is extracted by the prediction aggregation method. We use an aggregation FCN to generate a refined segmentation result considering scale uncertainty among the predictions. In our experiments using 199 chest CT volumes of COVID-19 cases, the prediction aggregation method improved the dice similarity score from 47.6% to 62.1%.

Segmentation accuracy and generalization ability are essential for deep learning models, especially in medical image segmentation. We present a novel, robust yet straightforward loss function to boost model accuracy and generalizability for medical image segmentation. We reformulate the graph cuts cost function to a loss function for supervised learning. The graph cuts loss innately focuses on a dual penalty to optimize the regional properties and boundary regularization. We benchmark the proposed loss on six public retinal vessel segmentation datasets with a comprehensive intra-dataset and cross-dataset evaluation. Results reveal that the proposed loss is more generalizable, narrowing the performance gap between different architectures. Besides, models trained with our loss show higher segmentation accuracy and better generalization ability than those trained with other mainstream losses. Moreover, we extend our loss to other segmentation tasks, e.g., left atrium and liver tumor segmentation. The proposed loss still achieves comparable performance to the state-of-the-art, demonstrating its potential for any N-D segmentation problem. The code is available at https://github.com/zzh_enggit/graphcutsloss.

Super-Resolution by Latent Space Exploration: Training with Poorly-Aligned Clinical and Micro CT Image Dataset 査読有り

This paper proposes a super-resolution (SR) method, for performing SR on a poorly-aligned dataset. Super-resolution methods commonly needs aligned low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) images for training. For obtaining paired LR and HR images in medical imaging, we need to align low and high-resolution data using image registration technology. However, since the hardness of aligning LR and HR images, the aligned LR-HR dataset is always low quality. Conventional SR methods always fail to train using poorly-aligned datasets since these methods need high-quality LR-HR datasets. To tackle this problem, we propose a two-step framework for SR using poorly-aligned datasets. In the first step, we decompose image representation into two parts: one is a content code that captures the image content; the other is a style code that captures the image style and anatomy difference between LR / HR images. To perform SR of a given LR image, we input the content code and a latent variable simultaneously into the SR network to obtain an SR result. In the second step, using the trained SR network and an LR image, we search for a content code, and a style code for generating the most proper SR image. This is conducted by searching for the best content code and the best style code by latent space exploration. We conducted experiments using a poorly-aligned clinical-micro CT lung specimen dataset. Experimental results illustrated the proposed method outperformed conventional SR methods by increasing SSIM from 0.309 to 0.312, and have much more convincing perceptual quality than conventional SR methods.

Purpose: For the planning and navigation of neurosurgery, we have developed a fully convolutional network (FCN)-based method for brain structure segmentation on magnetic resonance (MR) images. The capability of an FCN depends on the quality of the training data (i.e., raw data and annotation data) and network architectures. The improvement of annotation quality is a significant concern because it requires much labor for labeling organ regions. To address this problem, we focus on skip connection architectures and reveal which skip connections are effective for training FCNs using sparsely annotated brain images. Methods: We tested 2D FCN architectures with four different types of skip connections. The first was a U-Net architecture with horizontal skip connections that transfer feature maps at the same scale from the encoder to the decoder. The second was a U-Net++ architecture with dense convolution layers and dense horizontal skip connections. The third was a full-resolution residual network (FRRN) architecture with vertical skip connections that pass feature maps between each downsampled scale path and the full-resolution scale path. The last one was a hybrid architecture with a combination of horizontal and vertical skip connections. We validated the effect of skip connections on medical image segmentation from sparse annotation based on these four FCN architectures, which were trained under the same conditions. Results: For multiclass segmentation of the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and blood vessels from sparsely annotated MR images, we performed a comparative evaluation of segmentation performance among the above four FCN approaches: U-Net, U-Net++, FRRN, and hybrid architectures. The experimental results show that the horizontal skip connections in the U-Net architectures were effective for the segmentation of larger sized objects, whereas the vertical skip connections in the FRRN architecture improved the segmentation of smaller sized objects. The hybrid architecture with both horizontal and vertical skip connections achieved the best results of the four FCN architectures. We then performed an ablation study to explore which skip connections in the FRRN architecture contributed to the improved segmentation of blood vessels. In the ablation study, we compared the segmentation performance between architectures with a horizontal path (HP), an HP and vertical up paths (HP+VUPs), an HP and vertical down paths (HP+VDPs), and an HP and vertical up and down paths (FRRN). We found that the vertical up paths were effective in improving the segmentation of smaller sized objects. Conclusions: This paper investigated which skip connection architectures were effective for multiclass brain segmentation from sparse annotation. Consequently, using vertical skip connections with horizontal skip connections allowed FCNs to improve segmentation performance.

Purpose: The size information of detected polyps is an essential factor for diagnosis in colon cancer screening. For example, adenomas and sessile serrated polyps that are ≥ 10 mm are considered advanced, and shorter surveillance intervals are recommended for smaller polyps. However, sometimes the subjective estimations of endoscopists are incorrect and overestimate the sizes. To circumvent these difficulties, we developed a method for automatic binary polyp-size classification between two polyp sizes: from 1 to 9 mm and ≥ 10 mm. Method: We introduce a binary polyp-size classification method that estimates a polyp’s three-dimensional spatial information. This estimation is comprised of polyp localisation and depth estimation. The combination of location and depth information expresses a polyp’s three-dimensional shape. In experiments, we quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the proposed method using 787 polyps of both protruded and flat types. Results: The proposed method’s best classification accuracy outperformed the fine-tuned state-of-the-art image classification methods. Post-processing of sequential voting increased the classification accuracy and achieved classification accuracy of 0.81 and 0.88 for polyps ranging from 1 to 9 mm and others that are ≥ 10 mm. Qualitative analysis revealed the importance of polyp localisation even in polyp-size classification. Conclusions: We developed a binary polyp-size classification method by utilising the estimated three-dimensional shape of a polyp. Experiments demonstrated accurate classification for both protruded- and flat-type polyps, even though the flat type have ambiguous boundary between a polyp and colon wall.

Purpose: Bronchoscopists rely on navigation systems during bronchoscopy to reduce the risk of getting lost in the complex bronchial tree-like structure and the homogeneous bronchus lumens. We propose a patient-specific branching level estimation method for bronchoscopic navigation because it is vital to identify the branches being examined in the bronchus tree during examination. Methods: We estimate the branching level by integrating the changes in the number of bronchial orifices and the camera motions among the frames. We extract the bronchial orifice regions from a depth image, which is generated using a cycle generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) from real bronchoscopic images. We calculate the number of orifice regions using the vertical and horizontal projection profiles of the depth images and obtain the camera-moving direction using the feature point-based camera motion estimation. The changes in the number of bronchial orifices are combined with the camera-moving direction to estimate the branching level. Results: We used three in vivo and one phantom case to train the CycleGAN model and four in vivo cases to validate the proposed method. We manually created the ground truth of the branching level. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can estimate the branching level with an average accuracy of 87.6%. The processing time per frame was about 61 ms. Conclusion: Experimental results show that it is feasible to estimate the branching level using the number of bronchial orifices and camera-motion estimation from real bronchoscopic images.

Purpose: A three-dimensional (3D) structure extraction technique viewed from a two-dimensional image is essential for the development of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for colonoscopy. However, a straightforward application of existing depth-estimation methods to colonoscopic images is impossible or inappropriate due to several limitations of colonoscopes. In particular, the absence of ground-truth depth for colonoscopic images hinders the application of supervised machine learning methods. To circumvent these difficulties, we developed an unsupervised and accurate depth-estimation method. Method: We propose a novel unsupervised depth-estimation method by introducing a Lambertian-reflection model as an auxiliary task to domain translation between real and virtual colonoscopic images. This auxiliary task contributes to accurate depth estimation by maintaining the Lambertian-reflection assumption. In our experiments, we qualitatively evaluate the proposed method by comparing it with state-of-the-art unsupervised methods. Furthermore, we present two quantitative evaluations of the proposed method using a measuring device, as well as a new 3D reconstruction technique and measured polyp sizes. Results: Our proposed method achieved accurate depth estimation with an average estimation error of less than 1 mm for regions close to the colonoscope in both of two types of quantitative evaluations. Qualitative evaluation showed that the introduced auxiliary task reduces the effects of specular reflections and colon wall textures on depth estimation and our proposed method achieved smooth depth estimation without noise, thus validating the proposed method. Conclusions: We developed an accurate depth-estimation method with a new type of unsupervised domain translation with the auxiliary task. This method is useful for analysis of colonoscopic images and for the development of a CAD system since it can extract accurate 3D information.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) detection is a critical, severe problem that confused clinical residents for a long time. With the rise of deep learning technologies, SAH detection made a significant breakthrough in recent ten years. Whereas, the performances are significantly degraded on imbalanced data, makes deep learning models have always suffered criticism. In this study, we present a DenseNet-LSTM network with Class-Balanced Loss and the transfer learning strategy to solve the SAH detection problem on an extremely imbalanced dataset. Compared to the previous works, the proposed framework not merely effectively integrate greyscale features the and spatial information from the consecutive CT scans, but also employ Class-Balanced loss and transfer learning to alleviate the adverse effects and broaden feature diversity respectively on an extreme SAH cases scarcity dataset, mimicking the actual situation of emergency departments. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on a dataset, consisted of 2,519 cases without hemorrhage cases and only 33 cases with SAH. Experimental results demonstrate the F-measure score of SAH detection achieved a remarkable improvement, the backbone DenseNet121 gained around 33% promotion after transfer learning, and on this basis, importing the Class-Balanced Loss and the LSTM structure, the F-measure score further increased 6.1% and 2.7% sequentially.

The global incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer remains high. Colonoscopy is regarded as the gold standard examination for detecting and eradicating neoplastic lesions. However, there are some uncertainties in colonoscopy practice that are related to limitations in human performance. First, approximately one-fourth of colorectal neoplasms are missed on a single colonoscopy. Second, it is still difficult for nonexperts to perform adequately regarding optical biopsy. Third, recording of some quality indicators (e.g. cecal intubation, bowel preparation, and withdrawal speed）which are related to adenoma detection rate, is sometimes incomplete. With recent improvements in machine learning techniques and advances in computer performance, artificial intelligence-assisted computer-aided diagnosis is being increasingly utilized by endoscopists. In particular, the emergence of deep-learning, data-driven machine learning techniques have made the development of computer-aided systems easier than that of conventional machine learning techniques, the former currently being considered the standard artificial intelligence engine of computer-aided diagnosis by colonoscopy. To date, computer-aided detection systems seem to have improved the rate of detection of neoplasms. Additionally, computer-aided characterization systems may have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy in real-time clinical practice. Furthermore, some artificial intelligence-assisted systems that aim to improve the quality of colonoscopy have been reported. The implementation of computer-aided system clinical practice may provide additional benefits such as helping in educational poorly performing endoscopists and supporting real-time clinical decision-making. In this review, we have focused on computer-aided diagnosis during colonoscopy reported by gastroenterologists and discussed its status, limitations, and future prospects.

【背景】膀胱癌は経尿道手術後に再発が多い腫瘍であり、膀胱鏡での腫瘍の見落としが原因とされている。従来の白色光(WLI)に加え、NBIは腫瘍検出の精度が改善する報告があるが、検者の経験に依存するため、再現性・客観性が乏しいことが課題である。近年、客観的な診断ツールとして人工知能(AI)が活用されているが、膀胱鏡においてAIによる腫瘍検出の研究はあまり行われていない。今回、我々はWLI/NBI膀胱鏡画像を用いて、AIによる腫瘍検出の精度を検証した。【方法】2019年12月から2020年11月まで、経尿道的膀胱腫瘍切除術(TURBT)の際に、WLI/NBIを用いて観察を行った症例の手術動画から膀胱鏡画像を作成し、腫瘍を含む画像を腫瘍画像、腫瘍を含まない画像を正常画像と定義した。腫瘍画像を学習データ、テストデータに分類し、AIによる感度、特異度、陽性的中率を評価した。AIでの物体検出はtiny-YOLOを用い、医師個人のコンピューター上で環境構築を行った。【結果】腫瘍画像(WLI:809枚、NBI:684枚)をそれぞれtiny-YOLOで学習を行い、腫瘍画像(WLI:280枚、NBI:87枚)と正常画像(WLI:104枚、NBI:104枚)で精度検証を行った。AIによる物体検出の感度/特異度/陽性的中率は、WLIで84.6%/76.9%/90.8%、NBIで78.1%/97.1%/95.8%であった。【結論】膀胱鏡画像において、AIにより比較的良好に腫瘍検出が可能であった。更なる精度改善、リアルタイム検出への課題について、文献的考察を加え報告する。

本稿では,Spherical K-means(SpK)により抽出された複数スケールの特徴量と位置特徴量を用いた胃壁μCT画像からの粘膜層,粘膜下層,筋層及び腫瘍の抽出手法について報告する.胃壁のμCT画像から解剖学的構造を抽出することで腫瘍の立体構造把握が可能である.従来手法では複数スケールの特徴抽出フィルタをSpKによって学習し,パッチから特徴抽出を行った.その後得られた特徴量に基づいてSVMによって分類を行っていた.しかし,SpKにより生成された特徴抽出フィルタは濃度値に基づく特徴量を抽出するため,粘膜層と筋層のように濃度値が類似した領域同士の特徴量が近しい値になる.本手法ではSpKにより得られる複数スケールの特徴量にパッチの位置特徴量を追加して分類する事によって,濃度値に基づく特徴量では分類できない領域の分類を可能にする.パッチの位置特徴量としてパッチの中心座標を用いる.本手法を胃壁μCT像に適用した結果,粘膜層,粘膜下層,筋層及び腫瘍の抽出に対するDICE係数は68.3%,63.2%,82.2%,69.1%であった.特に従来手法と比べ,腫瘍の抽出に対するDICE係数は26.1%向上した.(著者抄録)

This paper presents a super-resolution (SR) method with unpaired training
dataset of clinical CT and micro CT volumes. For obtaining very detailed
information such as cancer invasion from pre-operative clinical CT volumes of
lung cancer patients, SR of clinical CT volumes to $\m$}CT level is desired.
While most SR methods require paired low- and high- resolution images for
training, it is infeasible to obtain paired clinical CT and {\mu}CT volumes. We
propose a SR approach based on CycleGAN, which could perform SR on clinical CT
into $\mu$CT level. We proposed new loss functions to keep cycle consistency,
while training without paired volumes. Experimental results demonstrated that
our proposed method successfully performed SR of clinical CT volume of lung
cancer patients into $\mu$CT level.

Because magnifying endoscopy is considered to be more accurate at predicting the histology of colorectal polyps than nonmagnifying endoscopy, it has been attracting a lot of attention, especially in Japan. However, use of magnifying endoscopy is not yet widespread because of its limited availability and the difficulty in interpreting the acquired images. Application of artificial intelligence (AI) is now changing this situation because it helps less-skilled endoscopists to accurately interpret magnified images. Research in this field initially focused on magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging as the target of AI. Most previously published retrospective studies have reported over 90% sensitivity in differentiation of neoplastic lesions; however, automatically indicating the region of interest (ROI) of the polyps that AI should analyze has been found to be challenging. To address this practical problem, some researchers have started to adopt contact endomicroscopy as a target for AI. Contact endomicroscopy includes endocytoscopy (520-fold magnification, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) and confocal laser endomicroscopy (1000-fold magnification, Mauna Kea, Paris, France). These forms of contact endomicroscopy provide ultramagnified images that make it unnecessary to manually select the ROI because the entire image acquired by contact endomicroscopy is the ROI of the targeted polyps. This strength of contact endomicroscopy has contributed to early implementation of this technology into clinical practice, which may change the utility of magnifying endoscopy in clinical settings and help increase its use globally in the near future.

One of the most common tasks in medical imaging is semantic segmentation. Achieving this segmentation automatically has been an active area of research, but the task has been proven very challenging due to the large variation of anatomy across different patients. However, recent advances in deep learning have made it possible to significantly improve the performance of image recognition and semantic segmentation methods in the field of computer vision. Due to the data driven approaches of hierarchical feature learning in deep learning frameworks, these advances can be translated to medical images without much difficulty. Several variations of deep convolutional neural networks have been successfully applied to medical images. Especially fully convolutional architectures have been proven efficient for segmentation of 3D medical images. In this article, we describe how to build a 3D fully convolutional network (FCN) that can process 3D images in order to produce automatic semantic segmentations. The model is trained and evaluated on a clinical computed tomography (CT) dataset and shows stateof-the-art performance in multi-organ segmentation.

Airway Segmentation from 3D Chest CT Volumes Based on Volume of Interest Using Gradient Vector Flow

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

In this paper, we propose a new airway segmentation algorithm from 3D chest CT volumes based on the volume of interest (VOI). The algorithm segments each bronchial branch by recognizing the airway regions from the trachea using the VOIs to segment each branch. A VOI is placed to envelop the branch currently being processed. Then a cavity enhancement filter is performed only inside the current VOI so that each branch is extracted. At the same time, we perform a leakage detection scheme to avoid any leakage regions inside the VOI. Next the gradient vector flow magnitude map and a tubular-likeness function are computed in each VOI. This assists the predictions of both the position and direction of the next child VOIs to detect the next child branches to continue the tracking algorithm. Finally, we unify all of the extracted airway regions to form a complete airway tree. We used a dataset that includes 50 standard-dose human chest CT volumes to evaluate our proposed algorithm. The average extraction rate was approximately 78.1% with a significantly decreased false positive rate compared to the previous method.

本論文では,3次元医用画像向けの新しい教師なしセグメンテーションの手法を提案する.提案手法は2つの段階に分けられる.1つ目の段階では,JULEを用いた深層表現学習をおこなう.JULEは,CNNから出力される表現のクラスタリングと,クラスタラベルを教師信号としたCNNの更新を繰り返す手法である.2つ目の段階では,訓練済みのCNNから生成された深層表現に対し,K-means法を適用してセグメンテーションをおこなう.評価には肺がん標本のマイクロCT画像を用い,浸潤領域,非浸潤領域,正常領域という3つの領域に分けることを試みた.マイクロCT画像上で病理組織学的特徴に基づいたセグメンテーションをおこなうことは,将来の病理診断精度の向上につながる.セグメンテーション結果の定性評価から,深層表現が3次元医用画像のセグメンテーションに有用であることが示された.(著者抄録)

[目的] 3Dプリンタは手術支援の一つとしての期待が高まっているが、現在の汎用機で、どの位正確に病変を表すことが可能であるかに関して不明である。そこで本研究では、異なった3Dプリンタ造形法と素材を用いて心臓モデルを作成し有用性を検討した。［方法］CT画像から抽出した心臓データをstlファイルに変換することにより、３Ｄプリンタによる心臓模型をつくった。その際、二種類の3Dプリンタにおける造形法を試した。一つ目は材料にPLAを使用した熱溶解積層法、二つ目は材料にAR-G1Lを使用したインクジェット法である。[結果] 熱溶解積層法を用いて作成したものは、原寸大では印刷できず75％に縮小し印刷した。その結果、血管部分の樹脂が崩れてしまった、また、サイズが小さくなってしまったことに加え、モデル全体が単色であることから、血管がどこにあるかということが一目で分かりにくく、さらに材質が固く力を加えた際に壊れやすいという問題があった。インクジェット方式を用いて作成したものは熱溶解積層法とは異なり原寸大での作成が可能であった。病変部位を正確に表現できた。さらにゴム素材を使用可能でき塑性に富んでいた。[結論]インクジェット方式を採用し作成した心臓模型は塑性に優れ有用である。

本講演では、機械学習を利用した内視鏡画像の自動診断手法について紹介する。特に、超拡大内視鏡画像を用いた大腸ポリープの類型判別の自動診断手法を例に挙げながら、内視鏡画像診断における機械学習の有用性について議論したい。パーセプトロン、統計的パターン認識に始まる機械学習は長年研究が行われてきたが、GPGPUなどに代表される手軽なハイパフォーマンスコンピューティング技術の発展により、非常に複雑なアーキテクチャを持つニューラルネットワークを用いたパターン認識などが可能となった。一方、内視鏡画像の診断には高度な技術が必要とされ、医師間の差による診断のブレも発生する。そこで、機械学習を用いた内視鏡画像の自動診断方法について２，３紹介する。一つ目の方法は、Hand-crafted特徴量（微分特徴量）などを求め、その特徴量により大腸ポリープの組織型をSVM (Support Vector Machine)による自動分類するものである。二つ目の方法は、CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)を用いて内視鏡画像の自動分類を行うものである。これらの手法について、技術的な側面に焦点をあて解説を行う。機械学習において重要な学習データ生成法についても合わせて議論したい。

This study focuses on the infuence of a three-dimensional (3D) graphic image and a 3D-printed object on the spatial reasoning of experts and novices in the medical field. The spatial reasoning task of this study required doctors specializing in digestive surgery to infer cross sections of a liver with a 3D image and a 3D-printed object in a situation where liver resection surgery was simulated. The task performance was compared with that of university students who conducted the same task in Maehigashi et al. (2016). The results of the analysis indicated that the doctors showed the same task performance when using the 3D image and the 3D-printed object. However, the university students learned faster and inferred the inside of a liver structure more accurately with the 3D-printed object than with the 3D image, and they performed equally to the professional doctors. Our results are then discussed in relation to previous studies.
