DeScarGAN: Disease-Specific Anomaly Detection with Weak Supervision [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Anomaly detection and localization in medical images is a challenging task, especially when the anomaly exhibits a change of existing structures, e.g., brain atrophy or changes in the pleural space due to pleural effusions. In this work, we present a weakly supervised and detail-preserving method that is able to detect structural changes of existing ...

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

Dynamic Graph Correlation Learning for Disease Diagnosis with Incomplete Labels [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Disease diagnosis on chest X-ray images is a challenging multi-label classification task. Previous works generally classify the diseases independently on the input image without considering any correlation among diseases. However, such correlation actually exists, for example, Pleural Effusion is more likely to appear when Pneumothorax is present.

Machine-Learning-Based Multiple Abnormality Prediction with Large-Scale Chest Computed Tomography Volumes [PDF]
, 2020 Machine learning models for radiology benefit from large-scale data sets with high quality labels for abnormalities. We curated and analyzed a chest computed tomography (CT) data set of 36,316 volumes from 19,993 unique patients. This is the largest multiply-annotated volumetric medical imaging data set reported. To annotate this data set, we developed

A comparative study of circulating tumor cell isolation and enumeration technologies in lung cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Lung cancer cells were spiked into donor blood to evaluate the recovery rates of the following circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment technologies: CellMag™, EasySep™, RosetteSep™, Parsortix® PR1, and Parsortix® Prototype systems. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are described.
