    Abstract: A system and method for detecting central pulmonary embolisms in a subject's vasculature is provided. In some aspects, the method includes receiving, using the input, a set of images representing a vasculature of the subject's lungs, automatically analyzing the set of images to segment the main arteries associated with the subject's lungs and separate the main arteries from surrounding tissues. The method also includes automatically extracting central pulmonary embolism candidates from the set of images after segmenting and separating the main arteries, and automatically evaluating the central pulmonary embolism candidates in three-dimensional (3D) space by applying a series of rules. The method further includes automatically displaying a report indicating evaluated central pulmonary embolism candidates on a display.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for actively and continually fine-tuning convolutional neural networks to reduce annotation requirements, in which the trained networks are then utilized in the context of medical imaging. The success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in computer vision is largely attributable to the availability of massive annotated datasets, such as ImageNet and Places. However, it is tedious, laborious, and time consuming to create large annotated datasets, and demands costly, specialty-oriented skills. A novel method to naturally integrate active learning and transfer learning (fine-tuning) into a single framework is presented to dramatically reduce annotation cost, starting with a pre-trained CNN to seek “worthy” samples for annotation and gradually enhances the (fine-tuned) CNN via continual fine-tuning. The described method was evaluated using three distinct medical imaging applications, demonstrating that it can reduce annotation efforts by at least half compared with random selection.

    Abstract: Described herein are means for the generation of semantic genesis models through self-supervised learning in the absence of manual labeling, in which the trained semantic genesis models are then utilized for the processing of medical imaging. For instance, an exemplary system is specially configured with means for performing a self-discovery operation which crops 2D patches or crops 3D cubes from similar patient scans received at the system as input; means for transforming each anatomical pattern represented within the cropped 2D patches or the cropped 3D cubes to generate transformed 2D anatomical patterns or transformed 3D anatomical patterns; means for performing a self-classification operation of the transformed anatomical patterns by formulating a C-way multi-class classification task for representation learning; means for performing a self-restoration operation by recovering original anatomical patterns from the transformed 2D patches or transformed 3D cubes having transformed anatomical patterns embedded therein to learn different sets of visual representation; and means for providing a semantics-enriched pre-trained AI model having a trained encoder-decoder structure with skip connections in between based on the performance of the self-discovery operation, the self-classification operation, and the self-restoration operation. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
