AI总结:

本文提出一种基于R-sGAIA增强和HBBT训练的实用胃X射线胃癌检测系统,灵敏度达90.2%,超越专家水平并显著减轻放射科医生工作负担。

摘要:

内窥镜被广泛用于诊断胃癌,具有较高的诊断性能,但必须由医生操作,这限制了可诊断的人数。相比之下,胃部X射线可由放射技师拍摄,从而使更多患者能够接受影像检查。然而,X射线图像的诊断高度依赖医生的专业知识和经验,且目前很少有机器学习方法被开发用于辅助这一过程。我们提出了一种新颖且实用的胃部X射线图像胃癌诊断支持系统,使更多人能够接受筛查。该系统基于通用的深度学习目标检测模型,并融合了两项新技术:精化概率胃图像增强(R-sGAIA)和硬边界框训练(HBBT)。R-sGAIA增强了概率性胃皱襞区域,并为癌症检测模型提供了更多学习模式。HBBT是一种高效的训练方法,通过允许使用未标注的阴性(即健康对照)样本(这些样本在传统检测模型中通常无法使用)来提升模型性能。所提出的系统对胃癌的灵敏度(SE)达到90.2%,高于专家水平(85.5%)。在此条件下,系统识别出的五个候选框中两个为癌性(精确率=42.5%),图像处理速度为每张0.51秒。该系统还优于使用相同目标检测模型和最新数据增强的方法,F1分数提高了5.9个百分点。总之,该系统能够在实际时间范围内高效识别供放射科医生检查的区域,从而显著减轻其工作负担。

英文摘要:

Endoscopy is widely used to diagnose gastric cancer and has a high diagnostic performance, but it must be performed by a physician, which limits the number of people who can be diagnosed. In contrast, gastric X-rays can be taken by radiographers, thus allowing a much larger number of patients to undergo imaging. However, the diagnosis of X-ray images relies heavily on the expertise and experience of physicians, and few machine learning methods have been developed to assist in this process. We propose a novel and practical gastric cancer diagnostic support system for gastric X-ray images that will enable more people to be screened. The system is based on a general deep learning-based object detection model and incorporates two novel techniques: refined probabilistic stomach image augmentation (R-sGAIA) and hard boundary box training (HBBT). R-sGAIA enhances the probabilistic gastric fold region and provides more learning patterns for cancer detection models. HBBT is an efficient training method that improves model performance by allowing the use of unannotated negative (i.e., healthy control) samples, which are typically unusable in conventional detection models. The proposed system achieved a sensitivity (SE) for gastric cancer of 90.2\%, higher than that of an expert (85.5%). Under these conditions, two out of five candidate boxes identified by the system were cancerous (precision = 42.5%), with an image processing speed of 0.51 seconds per image. The system also outperformed methods using the same object detection model and state-of-the-art data augmentation by showing a 5.9-point improvement in the F1 score. In summary, this system efficiently identifies areas for radiologists to examine within a practical time frame, thus significantly reducing their workload.
