Accurate segmentation of polyps from colonoscopy videos is of great significance to polyp treatment and early prevention of colorectal cancer. However, it is challenging due to the difficulties associated with modelling long-range spatio-temporal relationships within a colonoscopy video. In this paper, we address this challenging task with a novel Mixture-Attention Siamese Transformer (MAST), which explicitly models the long-range spatio-temporal relationships with a mixture-attention mechanism for accurate polyp segmentation. Specifically, we first construct a Siamese transformer architecture to jointly encode paired video frames for their feature representations. We then design a mixture-attention module to exploit the intra-frame and inter-frame correlations, enhancing the features with rich spatio-temporal relationships. Finally, the enhanced features are fed to two parallel decoders for predicting the segmentation maps. To the best of our knowledge, our MAST is the first transformer model dedicated to video polyp segmentation. Extensive experiments on the large-scale SUN-SEG benchmark demonstrate the superior performance of MAST in comparison with the cutting-edge competitors.

Chest X-rays (CXRs) are the most frequently performed imaging test in clinical practice. Recent advances in the development of vision-language foundation models (FMs) give rise to the possibility of performing automated CXR interpretation, which can assist physicians with clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes. However, developing FMs that can accurately interpret CXRs is challenging due to the (1) limited availability of large-scale vision-language datasets in the medical image domain, (2) lack of vision and language encoders that can capture the complexities of medical data, and (3) absence of evaluation frameworks for benchmarking the abilities of FMs on CXR interpretation. In this work, we address these challenges by first introducing \emph{CheXinstruct} - a large-scale instruction-tuning dataset curated from 28 publicly-available datasets. We then present \emph{CheXagent} - an instruction-tuned FM capable of analyzing and summarizing CXRs. To build CheXagent, we design a clinical large language model (LLM) for parsing radiology reports, a vision encoder for representing CXR images, and a network to bridge the vision and language modalities. Finally, we introduce \emph{CheXbench} - a novel benchmark designed to systematically evaluate FMs across 8 clinically-relevant CXR interpretation tasks. Extensive quantitative evaluations and qualitative reviews with five expert radiologists demonstrate that CheXagent outperforms previously-developed general- and medical-domain FMs on CheXbench tasks. Furthermore, in an effort to improve model transparency, we perform a fairness evaluation across factors of sex, race and age to highlight potential performance disparities.

Echocardiography has become an indispensable clinical imaging modality for general heart health assessment. From calculating biomarkers such as ejection fraction to the probability of a patient's heart failure, accurate segmentation of the heart and its structures allows doctors to plan and execute treatments with greater precision and accuracy. However, achieving accurate and robust left ventricle segmentation is time-consuming and challenging due to different reasons. This work introduces a novel approach for consistent left ventricular (LV) segmentation from sparsely annotated echocardiogram videos. We achieve this through (1) self-supervised learning (SSL) using temporal masking followed by (2) weakly supervised training. We investigate two different segmentation approaches: 3D segmentation and a novel 2D superimage (SI). We demonstrate how our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art solutions by achieving a 93.32% (95%CI 93.21-93.43%) dice score on a large-scale dataset (EchoNet-Dynamic) while being more efficient. To show the effectiveness of our approach, we provide extensive ablation studies, including pre-training settings and various deep learning backbones. Additionally, we discuss how our proposed methodology achieves high data utility by incorporating unlabeled frames in the training process. To help support the AI in medicine community, the complete solution with the source code will be made publicly available upon acceptance.

Segmentation of nodules in thyroid ultrasound imaging plays a crucial role in the detection and treatment of thyroid cancer. However, owing to the diversity of scanner vendors and imaging protocols in different hospitals, the automatic segmentation model, which has already demonstrated expert-level accuracy in the field of medical image segmentation, finds its accuracy reduced as the result of its weak generalization performance when being applied in clinically realistic environments. To address this issue, the present paper proposes ASTN, a framework for thyroid nodule segmentation achieved through a new type co-registration network. By extracting latent semantic information from the atlas and target images and utilizing in-depth features to accomplish the co-registration of nodules in thyroid ultrasound images, this framework can ensure the integrity of anatomical structure and reduce the impact on segmentation as the result of overall differences in image caused by different devices. In addition, this paper also provides an atlas selection algorithm to mitigate the difficulty of co-registration. As shown by the evaluation results collected from the datasets of different devices, thanks to the method we proposed, the model generalization has been greatly improved while maintaining a high level of segmentation accuracy.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, especially in white blood cell cancer diagnosis, is hindered by two primary challenges: the lack of large-scale labeled datasets for white blood cell (WBC) segmentation and outdated segmentation methods. To address the first challenge, a semi-supervised learning framework should be brought to efficiently annotate the large dataset. In this work, we address this issue by proposing a novel self-training pipeline with the incorporation of FixMatch. We discover that by incorporating FixMatch in the self-training pipeline, the performance improves in the majority of cases. Our performance achieved the best performance with the self-training scheme with consistency on DeepLab-V3 architecture and ResNet-50, reaching 90.69%, 87.37%, and 76.49% on Zheng 1, Zheng 2, and LISC datasets, respectively.

Polyp segmentation is a key aspect of colorectal cancer prevention, enabling early detection and guiding subsequent treatments. Intelligent diagnostic tools, including deep learning solutions, are widely explored to streamline and potentially automate this process. However, even with many powerful network architectures, there still comes the problem of producing accurate edge segmentation. In this paper, we introduce a novel network, namely RTA-Former, that employs a transformer model as the encoder backbone and innovatively adapts Reverse Attention (RA) with a transformer stage in the decoder for enhanced edge segmentation. The results of the experiments illustrate that RTA-Former achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in five polyp segmentation datasets. The strong capability of RTA-Former holds promise in improving the accuracy of Transformer-based polyp segmentation, potentially leading to better clinical decisions and patient outcomes. Our code will be publicly available on GitHub.

In the face of rapidly expanding online medical literature, automated systems for aggregating and summarizing information are becoming increasingly crucial for healthcare professionals and patients. Large Language Models (LLMs), with their advanced generative capabilities, have shown promise in various NLP tasks, and their potential in the healthcare domain, particularly for Closed-Book Generative QnA, is significant. However, the performance of these models in domain-specific tasks such as medical Q&A remains largely unexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by comparing the performance of general and medical-specific distilled LMs for medical Q&A. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of fine-tuning domain-specific LMs and compare the performance of different families of Language Models. The study will address critical questions about these models' reliability, comparative performance, and effectiveness in the context of medical Q&A. The findings will provide valuable insights into the suitability of different LMs for specific applications in the medical domain.

Researchers have shown significant correlations among segmented objects in various medical imaging modalities and disease related pathologies. Several studies showed that using hand crafted features for disease prediction neglects the immense possibility to use latent features from deep learning (DL) models which may reduce the overall accuracy of differential diagnosis. However, directly using classification or segmentation models on medical to learn latent features opt out robust feature selection and may lead to overfitting. To fill this gap, we propose a novel feature selection technique using the latent space of a segmentation model that can aid diagnosis. We evaluated our method in differentiating a rare cardiac disease: Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) from the ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) using echocardiogram videos (echo). TTS can mimic clinical features of STEMI in echo and extremely hard to distinguish. Our approach shows promising results in differential diagnosis of TTS with 82% diagnosis accuracy beating the previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) approach. Moreover, the robust feature selection technique using LASSO algorithm shows great potential in reducing the redundant features and creates a robust pipeline for short- and long-term disease prognoses in the downstream analysis.

Predicting how a drug-like molecule binds to a specific protein target is a core problem in drug discovery. An extremely fast computational binding method would enable key applications such as fast virtual screening or drug engineering. Existing methods are computationally expensive as they rely on heavy candidate sampling coupled with scoring, ranking, and fine-tuning steps. We challenge this paradigm with EquiBind, an SE(3)-equivariant geometric deep learning model performing direct-shot prediction of both i) the receptor binding location (blind docking) and ii) the ligand's bound pose and orientation. EquiBind achieves significant speed-ups and better quality compared to traditional and recent baselines. Further, we show extra improvements when coupling it with existing fine-tuning techniques at the cost of increased running time. Finally, we propose a novel and fast fine-tuning model that adjusts torsion angles of a ligand's rotatable bonds based on closed-form global minima of the von Mises angular distance to a given input atomic point cloud, avoiding previous expensive differential evolution strategies for energy minimization.

Applying artificial intelligence techniques in medical imaging is one of the most promising areas in medicine. However, most of the recent success in this area highly relies on large amounts of carefully annotated data, whereas annotating medical images is a costly process. In this paper, we propose a novel method, called FocalMix, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to leverage recent advances in semi-supervised learning (SSL) for 3D medical image detection. We conducted extensive experiments on two widely used datasets for lung nodule detection, LUNA16 and NLST. Results show that our proposed SSL methods can achieve a substantial improvement of up to 17.3% over state-of-the-art supervised learning approaches with 400 unlabeled CT scans.
