Image-based Joint-level Detection for Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis from Small and Imbalanced Data

  • 结合自监督预训练与抗不平衡训练,提升小数据下炎症检测能力。
  • 在自建数据集上F1提升0.2,几何平均精度(Gmean)提升0.25。
  • 为家庭远程筛查类风湿关节炎提供可行技术,适合医疗资源不足场景。

类风湿性关节炎(RA)是一种以系统性关节炎症为特征的自身免疫病。早期诊断与严密随访对管理该病至关重要,因为持续炎症会导致不可逆关节损伤。关节炎检测对诊断和评估疾病活动度具有重要意义,但患者常需长时间才能获得专科诊疗。因此,亟需开发可利用家庭拍摄的RGB图像实现关节炎症快速检测的系统。本文针对从手部RGB图像中检测RA炎症的任务展开研究。该任务因医学影像中的正样本稀缺、数据分布不均及任务本身难度高而极具挑战。目前尚无研究专门解决此类问题。本文构建了专用数据集,并定量揭示了视觉检测炎症的困难。提出一种融合全局-局部编码器的检测框架,通过大规模健康手部图像自监督预训练,结合抗不平衡训练策略,实现对RA相关关节炎症的精准识别。实验表明,所提方法相比基线模型,F1分数提升0.2,几何平均精度(Gmean)提升0.25。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by systemic joint inflammation. Early diagnosis and tight follow-up are essential to the management of RA, as ongoing inflammation can cause irreversible joint damage. The detection of arthritis is important for diagnosis and assessment of disease activity; however, it often takes a long time for patients to receive appropriate specialist care. Therefore, there is a strong need to develop systems that can detect joint inflammation easily using RGB images captured at home. Consequently, we tackle the task of RA inflammation detection from RGB hand images. This task is highly challenging due to general issues in medical imaging, such as the scarcity of positive samples, data imbalance, and the inherent difficulty of the task itself. However, to the best of our knowledge, no existing work has explicitly addressed these challenges in RGB-based RA inflammation detection. This paper quantitatively demonstrates the difficulty of visually detecting inflammation by constructing a dedicated dataset, and we propose a inflammation detection framework with global local encoder that combines self-supervised pretraining on large-scale healthy hand images with imbalance-aware training to detect RA-related joint inflammation from RGB hand images. Our experiments demonstrated that the proposed approach improves F1-score by 0.2 points and Gmean by 0.25 points compared with the baseline model.
