Covid-19 Detection with Chest Radiograph: Resources

Papers

Research Papers:

  • CovidGAN: Data Augmentation Using Auxiliary Classifier GAN for Improved Covid-19 Detection – in this research, we present a method to generate synthetic chest X-ray (CXR) images by developing an Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Network (ACGAN) based model called CovidGAN. In addition, we demonstrate that the synthetic images produced from CovidGAN can be utilized to enhance the performance of CNN for COVID-19 detection. Classification using CNN alone yielded 85% accuracy. By adding synthetic images produced by CovidGAN, the accuracy increased to 95%. We hope this method will speed up COVID-19 detection and lead to more robust systems of radiology.

  • Iteratively Pruned Deep Learning Ensembles for COVID-19 Detection in Chest X-rays – The best performing models are iteratively pruned to reduce complexity and improve memory efficiency. The predictions of the best-performing pruned models are combined through different ensemble strategies to improve classification performance. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that the weighted average of the best-performing pruned models significantly improves performance resulting in an accuracy of 99.01% and area under the curve of 0.9972 in detecting COVID-19 findings on CXRs. The combined use of modality-specific knowledge transfer, iterative model pruning, and ensemble learning resulted in improved predictions. We expect that this model can be quickly adopted for COVID-19 screening using chest radiographs.

  • COVID-ResNet: A Deep Learning Framework for Screening of COVID19 from Radiographs – Using these techniques, we showed the state of the art results on the open-access COVID-19 dataset. This work presents a 3-step technique to fine-tune a pre-trained ResNet-50 architecture to improve model performance and reduce training time. We call it COVIDResNet. This is achieved through progressively re-sizing of input images to 128x128x3, 224x224x3, and 229x229x3 pixels and fine-tuning the network at each stage. This approach along with the automatic learning rate selection enabled us to achieve the state of the art accuracy of 96.23% (on all the classes) on the COVIDx dataset with only 41 epochs. This work presented a computationally efficient and highly accurate model for multi-class classification of three different infection types from along with Normal individuals. This model can help in the early screening of COVID19 cases and help reduce the burden on healthcare systems.

Common Pitfalls (https://www.kaggle.com/c/siim-covid19-detection/discussion/240639)

Common pitfalls and recommendations for using machine learning to detect and prognosticate for COVID-19 using chest radiographs and CT scans

The above is a link to a peer-reviwed paper recently published in the prestigious journal Nature Machine Intelligence. They examined 2,212 studies published in 2020, of which 415 were included after initial screening and, after quality screening, 62 studies were included in the systematic review.

Unfortunately they found that “…none of the models identified are of potential clinical use due to methodological flaws and/or underlying biases.

Their main findings were:

  • Duplication and quality issues: Source issues, Frankenstein datasets, Implicit biases in the source data
  • Methodology issues: “…Diagnostic studies commonly compare their models’ performance to that of RT–PCR. However, as the ground-truth labels are often determined by RT–PCR, there is no way to measure whether a model outperforms RT–PCR from accuracy, sensitivity or specificity metrics alone. Ideally, models should aim to match clinicians using all available clinical and radiomic data…”

They then proceed to suggest a number of recommendations. The paper is well worth reading and is Open Access:
