Synopsis

Keywords: Diagnosis/Prediction, Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence, Longitudinal health monitoring

Motivation: Techniques that allow automated evaluation of the evolution of disease risk over time can be of great value for active surveillance and other imaging-based monitoring.

Goal(s): We introduce a novel self-supervised framework to learn representations that can identify increases in risk over time.

Approach: We propose a contrastive learning model to first learn subject-specific representations from low-slice-resolution images followed by learning a risk axis in the representational space to provide information on global changes in risk over time.

Results: The developed framework was used to assess risk of new metastases in a cohort of subjects from the NYU-Mets longitudinal imaging dataset.

Impact: A key question when moving to lower field strengths in MRI is if we can get comparable information from lower-quality images as we can from the current standard of high-quality, high-resolution images. Self-supervised contrastive learning approaches can hold the key.
