摘要

骨龄评估(BAA)是评估儿童生物学成熟度的重要课题。由于手工方法耗时长,且易受观测者变化的影响,因此开发BAA的计算机辅助和自动化方法是很有吸引力的。本文提出了一种全自动BAA方法。为了消除原始x射线图像中的噪声,我们首先使用U-Net从原始x射线图像中精确分割手掩膜图像。尽管U-Net可以实现高精度的分割,但它需要更大的标注数据集。为了减轻标注负担,我们建议使用深度主动学习(deep active learning, AL)来有意地选择具有足够信息的未标记数据样本。这些示例提供给Oracle进行注释。之后,它们被用于后续的训练。最初,只有300张数据需要手工标注,然后在人工智能框架下改进的U-Net可以鲁棒分割RSNA数据集中的所有12611张图像。人工智能分割模型在标注测试集中的Dice得分为0.95。为了优化学习过程,我们在ImageNet上使用了六个具有预训练权值的现成深度卷积神经网络(cnn)。我们使用迁移学习技术提取预处理手图像的特征。最后,应用了多种集成回归算法来执行BAA。此外,我们选择一个特定的CNN来提取特征,并解释为什么我们选择该CNN。实验结果表明,该方法在RSNA数据集上实现了男性和女性队列的人工骨龄和预测骨龄分别约为6.96个月和7.35个月的差异。这些精度可与最先进的性能相媲美。

Fully Automated Bone Age Assessment on Large-Scale Hand X-Ray Dataset.

Bone age assessment (BAA) is an essential topic in the clinical practice of evaluating the biological maturity of children. Because the manual method is time-consuming and prone to observer variability, it is attractive to develop computer-aided and automated methods for BAA. In this paper, we present a fully automatic BAA method. To eliminate noise in a raw X-ray image, we start with using U-Net to precisely segment hand mask image from a raw X-ray image. Even though U-Net can perform the segmentation with high precision, it needs a bigger annotated dataset. To alleviate the annotation burden, we propose to use deep active learning (AL) to select unlabeled data samples with sufficient information intentionally. These samples are given to Oracle for annotation. After that, they are then used for subsequential training. In the beginning, only 300 data are manually annotated and then the improved U-Net within the AL framework can robustly segment all the 12611 images in RSNA dataset. The AL segmentation model achieved a Dice score at 0.95 in the annotated testing set. To optimize the learning process, we employ six off-the-shell deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with pretrained weights on ImageNet. We use them to extract features of preprocessed hand images with a transfer learning technique. In the end, a variety of ensemble regression algorithms are applied to perform BAA. Besides, we choose a specific CNN to extract features and explain why we select that CNN. Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieved discrepancy between manual and predicted bone age of about 6.96 and 7.35 months for male and female cohorts, respectively, on the RSNA dataset. These accuracies are comparable to state-of-the-art performance.
