Title
Large Scale X-Ray and CT Representation Learning from Multi-Source
Summary
X-ray and CT are the most frequently used imaging tools for medical diagnosis. Artificial intelligence techniques, especially deep learning techniques, have shown great potential for improving medical diagnosis. Extracting clinically meaningful features is the core component of AI algorithms. Here we propose to leverage large-scale X-ray and CT datasets and associated multiple other source data to train a large-scale representation learning model for improving the diagnosis performance.
Aims
1. Build a large-scale CT representation learning model.
2. Build a large-scale Chest X-ray representation learning model.
3. Improve the diagnosis performance for lung nodule detection and other lung diseases.
