Introduction: We sought to train and validate an automated machine learning algorithm for ICH segmentation and volume calculation using multicenter data. Methods: An open-source 3D deep machine learning algorithm “DeepMedic” was trained using manually segmented ICH from 208 CT scans (129 patients) from the multicenter PREDICT study. The algorithm was then validated with 125 manually segmented CT scans (48 patients) from the SPOTLIGHT study. Manual segmentation was performed with Quantomo semi-automated software. ABC/2 was measured for all studies by two neuroradiologists. Accuracy of DeepMedic segmentation was assessed using the Dice similarity coefficient. Analysis was stratified by presence of IVH. Intraclass correlation (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) assessed agreement between manual vs. DeepMedic segmentation volume; and manual segmentation and ABC/2 volume. Bland-Altman charts were analyzed for ABC/2 and DeepMedic vs. manual segmentation volumes. Results: DeepMedic demonstrated high segmentation accuracy in the training cohort (median Dice 0.96; IQR 0.95 - 0.97) and in the validation cohort (median Dice 0.91; IQR 0.86 - 0.94). Dice coefficients were not significantly different between patients with IVH in the training cohort; however was significantly worse in the validation cohort in patients with IVH (Wilcoxon p<0.001). Agreement was significantly better between DeepMedic and manual segmentation (PREDICT: ICC 0.99 [95%CI 0.99 -1.00]; SPOTLIGHT: ICC 0.98 [95%CI 0.97 - 0.99]) than between ABC/2 and manual segmentation (PREDICT: ICC 0.92 [95%CI 0.89 - 0.95]; SPOTLIGHT: ICC 0.95 [95%CI 0.93-0.97]). Improved accuracy of DeepMedic was demonstrated in Bland-Altman charts (Fig 1). Conclusion: ICH machine learning segmentation with DeepMedic is feasible and accurate; and demonstrates greater agreement with manual segmentation compared to ABC/2 volumes. Accuracy of the machine learning algorithm however is limited in patients with IVH.
Objectives: To describe a new technique that may be useful for the diagnosis of micrognathia in the first trimester. Methods: The retronasal triangle (RNT) view is a technique that captures the coronal plane of the face in which the primary palate and the frontal processes of the maxilla are simultaneously visualized.
We study the effect of adversarial perturbations of images on deep stereo matching networks for the disparity estimation task. We present a method to craft a single set of perturbations that, when added to any stereo image pair in a dataset, can fool a stereo network to significantly alter the perceived scene geometry. Our perturbation images are "universal" in that they not only corrupt estimates of the network on the dataset they are optimized for, but also generalize to stereo networks with different architectures across different datasets. We evaluate our approach on multiple public benchmark datasets and show that our perturbations can increase D1-error (akin to fooling rate) of state-of-theart stereo networks from 1% to as much as 87%. We investigate the effect of perturbations on the estimated scene geometry and identify object classes that are most vulnerable. Our analysis on the activations of registered points between left and right images led us to find that certain architectural components, i.e. deformable convolution and explicit matching, can increase robustness against adversaries. We demonstrate that by simply designing networks with such components, one can reduce the effect of adversaries by up to 60.5%, which rivals the robustness of networks fine-tuned with costly adversarial data augmentation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
