A deep learning‐ and partial least square regression‐based model observer for a low‐contrast lesion detection task in CT

Abstract: Purpose This work aims to develop a new framework of image quality assessment using deep learning-based model observer (DL-MO) and to validate it in a low-contrast lesion detection task that involves CT images with patient anatomical background. Methods The DL-MO was developed using the transfer learning strategy to incorporate a pretrained deep convolutional neural network (CNN), a partial least square regression discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model and an internal noise component. The CNN was previously tr… Show more

“…However, since CNNs require a large amount of labeled training data [15], this approach involves extensive human observer studies, contradicting to the original purpose of anthropomorphic model observers. Another recent approach incorporates the transfer learning and an internal noise component to reduce the required amount of labeled training data and calibrate model observer performance, respectively [20]. However, the explicit use of the internal noise component might restrict the generalization performance.…”

[17][18][19] This data library, however, does have several limitations. The DICOM-CT-PD format is an extended DICOM format because its header needed to contain data in private tags beyond those defined in the standard DICOM information object definition.…”

Future work could address this limitation by using a model observer approach [33]. CT protocols vary considerably between scanners and institutions and it is likely that many patients could be examined more efficiently.…”
