Abstract
Dynamic chest radiography (DCR) enables the evaluation of lung function based on changes in lung density, lung area, and diaphragm level due to respiration. The need for lung segmentation techniques for sequential chest images is growing. Thus, this study was aimed at developing a deep learning-based lung segmentation technique for DCR across all age groups using virtual patient images. DCR images of 53 patients (M:F = 34:19, age: 1-88 years, median age: 63 years) were used. Owing to the difficulty in collecting a large dataset of pediatric DCR images, the 4D extended cardiac-torso phantom (XCAT phantom) was used to augment the pediatric data. A total of ten pediatric XCAT phantoms (five males and females each, age: 0-15 years) of virtual patients were generated and projected. Two deep-learning models, U-net and DeepLabv3 using MobileNetv3 as the backbone, were implemented. They were trained to estimate the lung segmentation masks using DCR image datasets consisting of only real or a mixture of real and virtual patients. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and intersection over union (IoU) were used as evaluation metrics. When trained only on real patients, for both the metrics, DeepLabv3 (DSC/IoU: 0.902/0.822) exhibited higher values than U-net (DSC/IoU: 0.791/0.673). When trained on dataset of a mixture of real and virtual patients, values of both the metrics improved in both models (DSC/IoU: 0.906/0.828 and 0.795/0.677 for DeepLabv3 and U-net, respectively). These results indicate that the developed model, that is, the combination of DeepLabv3 and XCAT-based augmentation methods, is effective for the lung segmentation of DCR images of various respiratory phases for all age groups.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
