This paper describes a series of 10,500 attempts at »pattern-recognition« by two groups of humans and a computer based system. There was little difference between the performances of 11 clinicians and 11 other persons of comparable intellectual capability. Both groups’ performances were related to the pattern-size, the accuracy diminishing rapidly as the patterns grew larger. By contrast the computer system increased its accuracy as the patterns increased in size.It is suggested (a) that clinicians are very little better than others at pattem-recognition, (b) that the clinician is incapable of analysing on a probabilistic basis the data he collects during a traditional clinical interview and examination and (c) that the study emphasises once again a major difference between human and computer performance. The implications as - regards human- and computer-aided diagnosis are discussed.

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems for computer-aided diagnosis and image-based screening are being adopted worldwide by medical institutions. In such a context, generating fair and unbiased classifiers becomes of paramount importance. The research community of medical image computing is making great efforts in developing more accurate algorithms to assist medical doctors in the difficult task of disease diagnosis. However, little attention is paid to the way databases are collected and how this may influence the performance of AI systems. Our study sheds light on the importance of gender balance in medical imaging datasets used to train AI systems for computer-assisted diagnosis. We provide empirical evidence supported by a large-scale study, based on three deep neural network architectures and two well-known publicly available X-ray image datasets used to diagnose various thoracic diseases under different gender imbalance conditions. We found a consistent decrease in performance for underrepresented genders when a minimum balance is not fulfilled. This raises the alarm for national agencies in charge of regulating and approving computer-assisted diagnosis systems, which should include explicit gender balance and diversity recommendations. We also establish an open problem for the academic medical image computing community which needs to be addressed by novel algorithms endowed with robustness to gender imbalance.

Rendering Techniques

One of the most valuable medical imaging visualizations or computer-aided diagnosis is Volume rendering (VR). This survey’s objective is reviewing and comparing between several methods and techniques of VR, for a better and more comprehensive reading and learning of both pros and cons of each method, and their use cases.

ZusammenfassungDurch die Vorsorgekoloskopie lässt sich die Inzidenz und die Sterblichkeit des kolorektalen Karzinoms effektiv senken. Die Adenomdetektionsrate (ADR = engl. adenoma detection rate) stellt ein entscheidendes Qualitätskriterium der Vorsorgekoloskopie dar. Die Nutzung computerbasierender Assistenzsysteme in der Endoskopie bietet große Chancen, die Adenomdetektionsrate weiter zu steigern und für eine weitere Qualitätssicherung in der Endoskopie zu sorgen.Die theoretischen Grundlagen der künstlichen Intelligenz wurden bereits in den 1950er-Jahren gelegt, eine breite Anwendung ist jedoch erst jetzt durch die Entwicklung schneller Computer und die Verfügbarkeit großer digitaler Datenmengen möglich. Das Deep Learning (dt. mehrschichtiges Lernen oder tiefes Lernen) stellt eine Form des maschinellen Lernens dar, bei dem durch Nutzung eines künstlichen neuronalen Netzwerks nach einer Lernphase komplexe Aufgaben gelöst werden können. Es eignet sich für Anwendungen, die für das menschliche Gehirn keine große Anstrengung darstellen (wie z. B. Gesichts- oder Spracherkennung), die jedoch mit konventionellen Methoden sehr aufwendig zu programmieren sind.Für den Einsatz in der Endoskopie wurden auf künstlicher Intelligenz basierende Systeme zur computergestützten Polypendetektion (engl. computer aided Detection = CADe), computergestützte Diagnose (engl. computer aided diagnosis = CADx) und zum computergestützten Monitoring (engl. computer aided monitoring = CADm) erfolgreich in Studien getestet. Erste kommerzielle Systeme zur Polypendetektion und zur optischen Biopsie im Kolon sind bereits erhältlich und konnten in Studien eine Steigerung der ADR durch Einsatz der künstlichen Intelligenz belegen.Computergestützte Assistenzsysteme auf Basis des Deep Learning könnten in naher Zukunft zum Standard in der Endoskopie werden, um eine optimale Polypendetektion, akkurate Diagnosestellung und objektives Untersuchungsmonitoring zu gewährleisten.
