CAESNet: Convolutional AutoEncoder based Semi-supervised Network for improving multiclass classification of endomicroscopic images.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:This article presents a novel method of semisupervised learning using convolutional autoencoders for optical endomicroscopic images. Optical endomicroscopy (OE) is a newly emerged biomedical imaging modality that can support real-time clinical decisions for the grade of dysplasia. To enable real-time decision making, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) is essential for its high speed and objectivity. However, traditional supervised CAD requires a large amount of training data. Compared with the limited number of labeled images, we can collect a larger number of unlabeled images. To utilize these unlabeled images, we have developed a Convolutional AutoEncoder based Semi-supervised Network (CAESNet) for improving the classification performance. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We applied our method to an OE dataset collected from patients undergoing endoscope-based confocal laser endomicroscopy procedures for Barrett's esophagus at Emory Hospital, which consists of 429 labeled images and 2826 unlabeled images. Our CAESNet consists of an encoder with 5 convolutional layers, a decoder with 5 transposed convolutional layers, and a classification network with 2 fully connected layers and a softmax layer. In the unsupervised stage, we first update the encoder and decoder with both labeled and unlabeled images to learn an efficient feature representation. In the supervised stage, we further update the encoder and the classification network with only labeled images for multiclass classification of the OE images. RESULTS:Our proposed semisupervised method CAESNet achieves the best average performance for multiclass classification of OE images, which surpasses the performance of supervised methods including standard convolutional networks and convolutional autoencoder network. CONCLUSIONS:Our semisupervised CAESNet can efficiently utilize the unlabeled OE images, which improves the diagnosis and decision making for patients with Barrett's esophagus.

Project description:Breast cancer is a common malignancy and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Its early diagnosis can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality rates in women. To this end, histopathological diagnosis is usually followed as the gold standard approach. However, this process is tedious, labor-intensive, and may be subject to inter-reader variability. Accordingly, an automatic diagnostic system can assist to improve the quality of diagnosis. This paper presents a deep learning approach to automatically classify hematoxylin-eosin-stained breast cancer microscopy images into normal tissue, benign lesion, in situ carcinoma, and invasive carcinoma using our collected dataset. Our proposed model exploited six intermediate layers of the Xception (Extreme Inception) network to retrieve robust and abstract features from input images. First, we optimized the proposed model on the original (unnormalized) dataset using 5-fold cross-validation. Then, we investigated its performance on four normalized datasets resulting from Reinhard, Ruifrok, Macenko, and Vahadane stain normalization. For original images, our proposed framework yielded an accuracy of 98% along with a kappa score of 0.969. Also, it achieved an average AUC-ROC score of 0.998 as well as a mean AUC-PR value of 0.995. Specifically, for in situ carcinoma and invasive carcinoma, it offered sensitivity of 96% and 99%, respectively. For normalized images, the proposed architecture performed better for Makenko normalization compared to the other three techniques. In this case, the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 97.79% together with a kappa score of 0.965. Also, it attained an average AUC-ROC score of 0.997 and a mean AUC-PR value of 0.991. Especially, for in situ carcinoma and invasive carcinoma, it offered sensitivity of 96% and 99%, respectively. These results demonstrate that our proposed model outperformed the baseline AlexNet as well as state-of-the-art VGG16, VGG19, Inception-v3, and Xception models with their default settings. Furthermore, it can be inferred that although stain normalization techniques offered competitive performance, they could not surpass the results of the original dataset.

Project description:Background Studies have reported the use of photoplethysmography signals to detect atrial fibrillation; however, the use of photoplethysmography signals in classifying multiclass arrhythmias has rarely been reported. Our study investigated the feasibility of using photoplethysmography signals and a deep convolutional neural network to classify multiclass arrhythmia types. Methods and Results ECG and photoplethysmography signals were collected simultaneously from a group of patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation for arrhythmias. A deep convolutional neural network was developed to classify multiple rhythms based on 10-second photoplethysmography waveforms. Classification performance was evaluated by calculating the area under the microaverage receiver operating characteristic curve, overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values against annotations on the rhythm of arrhythmias provided by 2 cardiologists consulting the ECG results. A total of 228 patients were included; 118 217 pairs of 10-second photoplethysmography and ECG waveforms were used. When validated against an independent test data set (23 384 photoplethysmography waveforms from 45 patients), the DCNN achieved an overall accuracy of 85.0% for 6 rhythm types (sinus rhythm, premature ventricular contraction, premature atrial contraction, ventricular tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, and atrial fibrillation); the microaverage area under the microaverage receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.978; the average sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 75.8%, 96.9%, 75.2%, and 97.0%, respectively. Conclusions This study demonstrated the feasibility of classifying multiclass arrhythmias from photoplethysmography signals using deep learning techniques. The approach is attractive for population-based screening and may hold promise for the long-term surveillance and management of arrhythmia. Registration URL: www.chictr.org.cn.
