Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

216
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...

X-ray Imaging

5.4K
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

150
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Deep Learning
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Deep learning (DL) models often use transfer learning (TL) pretrained on non-medical datasets, which may not capture unique medical image characteristics.
  • Generic pretraining can limit the effectiveness of DL in specialized medical image classification tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of modality-specific pretext learning, enhanced by denoising and deblurring, for classifying pediatric chest X-ray (CXR) images.
  • To compare this approach against traditional TL using ImageNet-pretrained models.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a VGG-16-Sharp-U-Net architecture, leveraging its encoder for classification.
  • Employed modality-specific pretext learning on CXR data.
  • Benchmarked against a VGG-16 model pretrained solely on ImageNet.
  • Evaluated performance using balanced accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-score, MCC, Kappa, and Youden's index.

Main Results:

  • CXR modality-specific pretext learning models significantly outperformed the ImageNet-pretrained baseline, showing higher sensitivity (p < 0.05) and improved overall metrics.
  • An attention-based fuzzy ensemble of pretext-learned models further boosted performance across all evaluated metrics.
  • Specific performance gains were noted in balanced accuracy, F-score, MCC, Kappa statistic, and Youden's index.

Conclusions:

  • Modality-specific pretext learning offers a viable and superior alternative to conventional ImageNet pretraining for medical image classification.
  • These findings encourage further research into medical modality-specific TL techniques for diverse medical imaging applications.
