Chest Computational Tomography (CT) scans present low cost, speed and objectivity for COVID-19 diagnosis and deep learning methods have shown great promise in assisting the analysis and interpretation of these images. Most hospitals or countries can train their own models using in-house data, however empirical evidence shows that those models perform poorly when tested on new unseen cases, surfacing the need for coordinated global collaboration. Due to privacy regulations, medical data sharing…

A Weakly Supervised Consistency-based Learning Method for COVID-19 Segmentation in CT Images

A consistency-based (CB) loss function that encourages the output predictions to be consistent with spatial transformations of the input images, and yields significant improvement over conventional point-level loss functions and almost matches the performance of models trained with full supervision with much less human effort.

Data augmentation using generative adversarial networks (CycleGAN) to improve generalizability in CT segmentation tasks

It is shown that in several CT segmentation tasks performance is improved significantly, especially in out-of-distribution (noncontrast CT) data, which will be valuable to medical imaging researchers to reduce manual segmentation effort and cost in CT imaging.

It is shown that such a network can be trained end-to-end from very few images and outperforms the prior best method (a sliding-window convolutional network) on the ISBI challenge for segmentation of neuronal structures in electron microscopic stacks.

CovidGAN: Data Augmentation Using Auxiliary Classifier GAN for Improved Covid-19 Detection

This research presents a method to generate synthetic chest X-ray (CXR) images by developing an Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Network (ACGAN) based model called CovidGAN and demonstrates that the synthetic images produced by this model can be utilized to enhance the performance of CNN for COVID-19 detection.

Image-to-Image Translation with Conditional Adversarial Networks

Conditional adversarial networks are investigated as a general-purpose solution to image-to-image translation problems and it is demonstrated that this approach is effective at synthesizing photos from label maps, reconstructing objects from edge maps, and colorizing images, among other tasks.
