چکیده
In this work we present our participation in the ImageCLEF 2017 tuberculosis task. The task consists of detecting five tuberculosis (TB) types and predicting drug resistance from lung CT (Computed Tomography) volumes. Our approach is based on a previously developed non-parametric method. Tested on CT images of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients, it consists of describing each subject as a collection of local feature descriptors embedded in a dissimilarity space. The set of local features was extended for this work adding new 3D texture descriptors. The results shows that our approach is able to characterize several TB types, achieving a Cohen’s Kappa coefficient of 0.1533, but does not suit for predicting drug resistance were it only achieved an AUC of 0.5241.

In this paper, we describe our methodologies in an attempt to improve the diagnosis accuracy of drug resistant tuberculosis and also of identifying the type of tuberculosis present in the patient, as per the requirements of the ImageCLEF tuberculosis task of ImageCLEF 2017. Firstly, we employed the concept of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), which can be used to identify useful features in ...
متن کاملOverview of the ImageCLEF 2017 Tuberculosis Task - Predicting Tuberculosis Type and Drug Resistances
ImageCLEF is the image retrieval task of the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum (CLEF). ImageCLEF has historically focused on the multimodal and language-independent retrieval of images. Many tasks are related to image classification and the annotation of image data as well as the retrieval of images. The tuberculosis task was held for the first time in 2017 and had a very encouraging ...

This paper describes the participation of the MedGIFT/UPB group in the ImageCLEF 2017 tuberculosis task. This task includes two subtasks: (1) multi–drug resistance detection (MDR), with the goal of determining the probability of a tuberculosis patient having a resistant form of tuberculosis and (2) tuberculosis type detection (TBT), with the goal of classifying each tuberculosis patient into on...
متن کاملTextured Graph-model of the Lungs for Tuberculosis Type Classification and Drug Resistance Prediction: Participation in ImageCLEF 2017
In 2017, the ImageCLEF benchmark proposed a task based on CT (Computed Tomography) images of patients with tuberculosis (TB). This task was divided into two subtasks: multi-drug resistance prediction, and TB type detection. In this work we present a graph-model of the lungs capable of characterizing TB patients with different lung problems. This graph contains a fixed number of nodes with weigh...
متن کاملConvolutional Neural Networks for Multidrug-resistant and Drug-sensitive Tuberculosis Distinction
Tuberculosis is a widespread disease and one of the top causes of death worldwide. Especially the distinction between drug-sensitive and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is still problematic. The ImageCLEF 2017 Tuberculosis Task 1 aims at the development of a machine learning system able to decide whether a patient suffers from multidrugresistant tuberculosis or not, based solely on a CT scan o...
