New AI framework diagnoses unseen diseases by composing radiological findings

Researchers have developed a new framework called Diagnosis by Composition (DbC) that aims to improve the interpretability and adaptability of deep learning models in radiological diagnosis. Unlike traditional models that predict disease labels directly, DbC learns a vocabulary of radiological findings and uses these to diagnose diseases based on established guidelines. This approach allows the system to diagnose unseen diseases by composing their known findings without requiring retraining, and provides inherent interpretability and auditability by aligning image features with textual descriptions of findings. In tests on liver CT scans, DbC demonstrated superior performance in detecting and localizing both seen and unseen diseases compared to existing methods. AI

IMPACT This framework could enhance the interpretability and adaptability of AI in medical imaging, enabling diagnosis of rare or novel conditions.

    Diagnosis by Composition: Detecting and Localizing Unseen Diseases by Composing Learned Radiological Findings

    Deep models for radiological diagnosis are typically trained to predict disease labels directly from images, which limits them to diseases seen during training and makes their decisions hard to interpret in radiologists' terms. Radiology, however, proceeds from visual findings to…
