Semi-supervised Domain Adaptation for Automatic Quality Control of FLAIR MRIs in a Clinical Data Warehouse
摘要
Domain adaptation is a very useful approach to exploit the potential of clinical data warehouses, which gather a vast amount of medical imaging encompassing various modalities, sequences, manufacturers and machines. In this study, we propose a semi-supervised domain adaptation (SSDA) framework for automatically detecting poor quality FLAIR MRIs within a clinical data warehouse. Leveraging a limited number of labelled FLAIR and a large number of labelled T1-weighted MRIs, we introduce a novel architecture based on the well known Domain Adversarial Neural Network (DANN) that incorporates a specific classifier for the target domain. Our method effectively addresses the covariate shift and class distribution shift between T1-weighted and FLAIR MRIs, surpassing existing SSDA approaches by more than 10% points.
