MultiMedVision: Multi-Modal Medical Vision Framework

Multi-modal medical imaging enables comprehensive diagnostics, yet current foundation models process 2D (e.g. X-ray) and 3D (e.g. CT) data with separate, dimensionality-specific architectures. We present MultiMedVision, a unified framework for joint 2D/3D representation learning built on a Sparse Vision Transformer. Our model uses 3D Rotary Positional Embeddings and variable-length sequence packing to process mixed-modality batches natively within a shared latent space, without modality-specific adapters or treating 3D volumes as 2D slice sequences. Trained with a self-supervised objective on chest X-rays (MIMIC-CXR) and CT scans (CT-RATE), and using a single shared encoder with 5x less data, MultiMedVision achieves competitive performance on both 2D benchmarks (Macro AUROC 0.82 on MIMIC, 0.84 on CheXpert) and 3D tasks (0.85 on CT-RATE). Analysis of the learned representations reveals coexisting modality-specific and shared feature subspaces, demonstrating that unified cross-dimensional representation learning is feasible without sacrificing modality-specific performance.

Advances in Prediction of Readmission Rates Using Long Term Short Term Memory Networks on Healthcare Insurance Data

30-day hospital readmission is a long standing medical problem that affects patients' morbidity and mortality and costs billions of dollars annually. Recently, machine learning models have been created to predict risk of inpatient readmission for patients with specific diseases, however no model exists to predict this risk across all patients. We developed a bi-directional Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Network that is able to use readily available insurance data (inpatient visits, outpatient visits, and drug prescriptions) to predict 30 day re-admission for any admitted patient, regardless of reason. The top-performing model achieved an ROC AUC of 0.763 (0.011) when using historical, inpatient, and post-discharge data. The LSTM model significantly outperformed a baseline random forest classifier, indicating that understanding the sequence of events is important for model prediction. Incorporation of 30-days of historical data also significantly improved model performance compared to inpatient data alone, indicating that a patients clinical history prior to admission, including outpatient visits and pharmacy data is a strong contributor to readmission. Our results demonstrate that a machine learning model is able to predict risk of inpatient readmission with reasonable accuracy for all patients using structured insurance billing data. Because billing data or equivalent surrogates can be extracted from sites, such a model could be deployed to identify patients at risk for readmission before they are discharged, or to assign more robust follow up (closer follow up, home health, mailed medications) to at-risk patients after discharge.

OSCARS: An Outlier-Sensitive Content-Based Radiography Retrieval System

Improving the retrieval relevance on noisy datasets is an emerging need for the curation of a large-scale clean dataset in the medical domain. While existing methods can be applied for class-wise retrieval (aka. inter-class), they cannot distinguish the granularity of likeness within the same class (aka. intra-class). The problem is exacerbated on medical external datasets, where noisy samples of the same class are treated equally during training. Our goal is to identify both intra/inter-class similarities for fine-grained retrieval. To achieve this, we propose an Outlier-Sensitive Content-based rAdiologhy Retrieval System (OSCARS), consisting of two steps. First, we train an outlier detector on a clean internal dataset in an unsupervised manner. Then we use the trained detector to generate the anomaly scores on the external dataset, whose distribution will be used to bin intra-class variations. Second, we propose a quadruplet (a, p, nintra, ninter) sampling strategy, where intra-class negatives nintra are sampled from bins of the same class other than the bin anchor a belongs to, while niner are randomly sampled from inter-classes. We suggest a weighted metric learning objective to balance the intra and inter-class feature learning. We experimented on two representative public radiography datasets. Experiments show the effectiveness of our approach. The training and evaluation code can be found in https://github.com/XiaoyuanGuo/oscars.

PathologyBERT -- Pre-trained Vs. A New Transformer Language Model for Pathology Domain

Pathology text mining is a challenging task given the reporting variability and constant new findings in cancer sub-type definitions. However, successful text mining of a large pathology database can play a critical role to advance 'big data' cancer research like similarity-based treatment selection, case identification, prognostication, surveillance, clinical trial screening, risk stratification, and many others. While there is a growing interest in developing language models for more specific clinical domains, no pathology-specific language space exist to support the rapid data-mining development in pathology space. In literature, a few approaches fine-tuned general transformer models on specialized corpora while maintaining the original tokenizer, but in fields requiring specialized terminology, these models often fail to perform adequately. We propose PathologyBERT - a pre-trained masked language model which was trained on 347,173 histopathology specimen reports and publicly released in the Huggingface repository. Our comprehensive experiments demonstrate that pre-training of transformer model on pathology corpora yields performance improvements on Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Breast Cancer Diagnose Classification when compared to nonspecific language models.

The EMory BrEast imaging Dataset (EMBED): A Racially Diverse, Granular Dataset of 3.5M Screening and Diagnostic Mammograms

Developing and validating artificial intelligence models in medical imaging requires datasets that are large, granular, and diverse. To date, the majority of publicly available breast imaging datasets lack in one or more of these areas. Models trained on these data may therefore underperform on patient populations or pathologies that have not previously been encountered. The EMory BrEast imaging Dataset (EMBED) addresses these gaps by providing 3650,000 2D and DBT screening and diagnostic mammograms for 116,000 women divided equally between White and African American patients. The dataset also contains 40,000 annotated lesions linked to structured imaging descriptors and 61 ground truth pathologic outcomes grouped into six severity classes. Our goal is to share this dataset with research partners to aid in development and validation of breast AI models that will serve all patients fairly and help decrease bias in medical AI.

Reading Race: AI Recognises Patient's Racial Identity In Medical Images

Background: In medical imaging, prior studies have demonstrated disparate AI performance by race, yet there is no known correlation for race on medical imaging that would be obvious to the human expert interpreting the images. Methods: Using private and public datasets we evaluate: A) performance quantification of deep learning models to detect race from medical images, including the ability of these models to generalize to external environments and across multiple imaging modalities, B) assessment of possible confounding anatomic and phenotype population features, such as disease distribution and body habitus as predictors of race, and C) investigation into the underlying mechanism by which AI models can recognize race. Findings: Standard deep learning models can be trained to predict race from medical images with high performance across multiple imaging modalities. Our findings hold under external validation conditions, as well as when models are optimized to perform clinically motivated tasks. We demonstrate this detection is not due to trivial proxies or imaging-related surrogate covariates for race, such as underlying disease distribution. Finally, we show that performance persists over all anatomical regions and frequency spectrum of the images suggesting that mitigation efforts will be challenging and demand further study. Interpretation: We emphasize that model ability to predict self-reported race is itself not the issue of importance. However, our findings that AI can trivially predict self-reported race -- even from corrupted, cropped, and noised medical images -- in a setting where clinical experts cannot, creates an enormous risk for all model deployments in medical imaging: if an AI model secretly used its knowledge of self-reported race to misclassify all Black patients, radiologists would not be able to tell using the same data the model has access to.

Was there COVID-19 back in 2012? Challenge for AI in Diagnosis with Similar Indications

Purpose: Since the recent COVID-19 outbreak, there has been an avalanche of research papers applying deep learning based image processing to chest radiographs for detection of the disease. To test the performance of the two top models for CXR COVID-19 diagnosis on external datasets to assess model generalizability. Methods: In this paper, we present our argument regarding the efficiency and applicability of existing deep learning models for COVID-19 diagnosis. We provide results from two popular models - COVID-Net and CoroNet evaluated on three publicly available datasets and an additional institutional dataset collected from EMORY Hospital between January and May 2020, containing patients tested for COVID-19 infection using RT-PCR. Results: There is a large false positive rate (FPR) for COVID-Net on both ChexPert (55.3%) and MIMIC-CXR (23.4%) dataset. On the EMORY Dataset, COVID-Net has 61.4% sensitivity, 0.54 F1-score and 0.49 precision value. The FPR of the CoroNet model is significantly lower across all the datasets as compared to COVID-Net - EMORY(9.1%), ChexPert (1.3%), ChestX-ray14 (0.02%), MIMIC-CXR (0.06%). Conclusion: The models reported good to excellent performance on their internal datasets, however we observed from our testing that their performance dramatically worsened on external data. This is likely from several causes including overfitting models due to lack of appropriate control patients and ground truth labels. The fourth institutional dataset was labeled using RT-PCR, which could be positive without radiographic findings and vice versa. Therefore, a fusion model of both clinical and radiographic data may have better performance and generalization.
