Area of Science:

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
Medical Imaging Analysis
Machine Learning for Healthcare

Background:

Automatic diagnosis of 3D medical data is crucial for intelligent healthcare.
Collecting exhaustive annotations for 3D data is costly and time-consuming.
Patient-level labels offer a sustainable alternative for training diagnostic algorithms.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel algorithm for 3D medical data diagnosis using only patient-level labels.
To leverage the diagnostic efficacy of 2D slices within 3D medical data.
To improve the accuracy and efficiency of automated medical diagnosis.

Main Methods:

Proposed the Instance Importance-aware Graph Convolutional Network (I²GCN) framework.
Utilized multi-instance learning (MIL) with a preliminary classifier to determine instance importance.
Developed the Instance Importance-aware Graph Convolutional Layer (I²GCLayer) and Sub-Graph Augmentation (SGA) for enhanced diagnosis and regularization.

Main Results:

The I²GCN method demonstrated high effectiveness across different organs and modalities.
Experiments on CC-CCII and PROSTATEx datasets showed significant performance improvements.
The proposed approach outperformed existing state-of-the-art methods in 3D medical data diagnosis.

Conclusions:

The I²GCN framework provides an effective solution for 3D medical data diagnosis with limited annotations.
Instance importance weighting and graph convolutional layers enhance diagnostic accuracy.
The method offers a promising direction for advancing automated medical diagnosis in intelligent healthcare.
