Abstract

Holistically detecting interstitial lung disease (ILD) patterns from CT images is challenging yet clinically important. Unfortunately, most existing solutions rely on manually provided regions of interest, limiting their clinical usefulness. In addition, no work has yet focused on predicting more than one ILD from the same CT slice, despite the frequency of such occurrences. To address these limitations, we propose two variations of multi-label deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The first uses a deep CNN to detect the presence of multiple ILDs using a regression-based loss function. Our second variant further improves performance, using spatially invariant Fisher Vector encoding of the CNN feature activations. We test our algorithms on a dataset of 533 patients using five-fold cross-validation, achieving high area-under-curve (AUC) scores of 0.982, 0.972, 0.893 and 0.993 for Ground Glass, Reticular, Honeycomb and Emphysema, respectively. As such, our work represents an important step forward in providing clinically effective ILD detection.
