X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

5.8K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

359
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

272
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

145
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

196
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging Analysis
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Accurate chest X-ray classification and localization are vital for clinical decisions.
  • Manual annotation of abnormalities, especially bounding boxes, is costly and time-consuming.
  • Contrastive learning shows promise for feature extraction in natural images but is challenging for medical images due to limited augmentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an end-to-end semi-supervised framework for simultaneous disease classification and localization in chest X-rays.
  • To address the limitations of traditional annotation methods by incorporating prior knowledge.
  • To enhance feature representation by integrating radiomic features into a contrastive learning approach.

Main Methods:

  • A novel knowledge-augmented contrastive learning framework was proposed.
  • Radiomic features were extracted from crucial regions identified by Grad-CAM.
  • A unique positive sampling strategy integrated image and radiomic features for mutual reinforcement.
  • The framework was trained in a semi-supervised manner.

Main Results:

  • The proposed framework achieved superior performance in both classification and localization tasks on the NIH Chest X-ray dataset.
  • Knowledge augmentation using radiomic features led to more robust and interpretable representations.
  • The method effectively leveraged unlabeled data through contrastive learning.

Conclusions:

  • The developed semi-supervised, knowledge-augmented contrastive learning framework offers a powerful solution for chest X-ray analysis.
  • Integrating radiomic features enhances the discriminative power of learned representations.
  • This approach reduces reliance on extensive manual annotations, making it more cost-effective.
