PadChest: A large chest x-ray image dataset with multi-label annotated reports
We present a labeled large-scale, high resolution chest x-ray dataset for the
automated exploration of medical images along with their associated reports.
This dataset includes more than 160,000 images obtained from 67,000 patients
that were interpreted and reported by radiologists at Hospital San Juan
Hospital (Spain) from 2009 to 2017, covering six different position views and
additional information on image acquisition and patient demography. The reports
were labeled with 174 different radiographic findings, 19 differential
diagnoses and 104 anatomic locations organized as a hierarchical taxonomy and
mapped onto standard Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) terminology. Of
these reports, 27% were manually annotated by trained physicians and the
remaining set was labeled using a supervised method based on a recurrent neural
network with attention mechanisms. The labels generated were then validated in
an independent test set achieving a 0.93 Micro-F1 score. To the best of our
knowledge, this is one of the largest public chest x-ray database suitable for
training supervised models concerning radiographs, and the first to contain
radiographic reports in Spanish. The PadChest dataset can be downloaded from

Pan-cancer classifications of tumor histological images using deep learning
Histopathological images are essential for the diagnosis of cancer type and selection of optimal treatment. However, the current clinical process of manual inspection of images is time consuming and prone to intra- and inter-observer variability. Here we show that key aspects of cancer image analysis can be performed by deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) across a wide spectrum of cancer types. In particular, we implement CNN architectures based on Google Inception v3 transfer learning to analyze 27815 H&E slides from 23 cohorts in The Cancer Genome Atlas in studies of tumor/normal status, cancer subtype, and mutation status. For 19 solid cancer types we are able to classify tumor/normal status of whole slide images with extremely high AUCs (0.995±0.008). We are also able to classify cancer subtypes within 10 tissue types with AUC values well above random expectations (micro-average 0.87±0.1). We then perform a cross-classification analysis of tumor/normal status across tumor types. We find that classifiers trained on one type are often effective in distinguishing tumor from normal in other cancer types, with the relationships among classifiers matching known cancer tissue relationships. For the more challenging problem of mutational status, we are able to classify TP53 mutations in three cancer types with AUCs from 0.65-0.80 using a fully-trained CNN, and with similar cross-classification accuracy across tissues. These studies demonstrate the power of CNNs for not only classifying histopathological images in diverse cancer types, but also for revealing shared biology between tumors.

Machine learning methods for histopathological image analysis
Abundant accumulation of digital histopathological images has led to the
increased demand for their analysis, such as computer-aided diagnosis using
machine learning techniques. However, digital pathological images and related
tasks have some issues to be considered. In this mini-review, we introduce the
application of digital pathological image analysis using machine learning
algorithms, address some problems specific to such analysis, and propose
possible solutions.Comment: 23 pages, 4 figure
Artificial intelligence in clinical endoscopy: Insights in the field of videomics
Artificial intelligence is being increasingly seen as a useful tool in medicine. Specifically, these technologies have the objective to extract insights from complex datasets that cannot easily be analyzed by conventional statistical methods. While promising results have been obtained for various -omics datasets, radiological images, and histopathologic slides, analysis of videoendoscopic frames still represents a major challenge. In this context, videomics represents a burgeoning field wherein several methods of computer vision are systematically used to organize unstructured data from frames obtained during diagnostic videoendoscopy. Recent studies have focused on five broad tasks with increasing complexity: quality assessment of endoscopic images, classification of pathologic and nonpathologic frames, detection of lesions inside frames, segmentation of pathologic lesions, and in-depth characterization of neoplastic lesions. Herein, we present a broad overview of the field, with a focus on conceptual key points and future perspectives
