Abstract

In this work, we examine the strength of deep learning approaches for pathology detection in chest radiographs. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) deep architecture classification approaches have gained popularity due to their ability to learn mid and high level image representations. We explore the ability of CNN learned from a non-medical dataset to identify different types of pathologies in chest x-rays. We tested our algorithm on a 433 image dataset. The best performance was achieved using CNN and GIST features. We obtained an area under curve (AUC) of 0.87-0.94 for the different pathologies. The results demonstrate the feasibility of detecting pathology in chest x-rays using deep learning approaches based on non-medical learning. This is a first-of-its-kind experiment that shows that Deep learning with ImageNet, a large scale non-medical image database may be a good substitute to domain specific representations, which are yet to be available, for general medical image recognition tasks.
