The ‘aging’ of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) models after initial development and evaluation is known to frequently occur and can pose substantial problems. When there are changes in population, disease characteristics, imaging equipment, or protocols, model performance may start to deteriorate, and the performance predicted in a research setting may no longer hold after deployment (either in a clinical setting or in further research). This data shift phenomenon is a common problem in AI/ML.
We trained and evaluated a previously in-house developed AI/ML model for COVID severity prediction using two COVID-19-positive consecutive adult patient cohorts from a single institution. The first cohort was from the time that the Delta strain was dominant accounting for <95% of cases (June 24-December 11, 2021, 820 patients, 1331 chest radiographs (CXRs)) and the second cohort was from the time that the Omicron variant was dominant (Jan 1-21, 2022, 656 patients, 970 CXRs). Inclusion criteria were COVID-positivity and the availability of CXR imaging exams, in general for patients not admitted to ICU and prior to ICU admission for those patients admitted to ICU as part of their treatment. Exclusion criteria were image acquisition in ICU or the presence of mechanical ventilation. Our image-based AI/ML model was trained to predict, based on each frontal CXR from a COVID-positive patient, whether this patient would be admitted to ICU within a 24, 48, 72, or 96-hour window. The model was evaluated 1) in a cross-sectional test when trained on a subset/tested on an independent subset of the Delta cohort, 2) similarly for the Omicron cohort, and 3) in a longitudinal test when trained on the Delta cohort/tested on the Omicron cohort.
Cohorts were similar in ICU admission rate and fraction of portable CXRs, while immunization rate was higher for the Omicron cohort. The model did not demonstrate signs of aging with performances in the longitudinal test being very similar to those within the Delta cohort, e.g., an area under the ROC curve in the task of predicting ICU admission within 24 hours of 0.76 [0.68; 0.84] when trained/tested within the Delta cohort and 0.77 [0.73; 0.80] for the longitudinal test (p>0.05). The performance within the Omicron cohort was similar as well, at 0.76 [0.66; 0.84].
Our AI/ML model for COVID-severity prediction did not demonstrate signs of aging in a longitudinal test when trained on the Delta cohort and applied as-is to the Omicron cohort.

JMI, Vol. 9, Issue 03, 034502, (June 2022) https://doi.org/10.1117/12.10.1117/1.JMI.9.3.034502

Purpose: We demonstrate continuous learning and assess its impact on the performance of artificial intelligence of breast dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in the task of distinguishing malignant from benign lesions on an independent clinical test dataset. Approach: The study included 1979 patients with 1990 lesions who underwent breast MR imaging during 2015, 2016, and 2017, retrospectively collected under an IRB-approved protocol; there were 1494 malignant and 496 benign lesions based on histopathology. AI was conducted in the task of distinguishing malignant and benign lesions, and independent testing was performed to assess the effect of increasing the numbers of training cases. Five training sets mimicking clinical implementation of continuous AI learning included cases from (1) first quarter of 2015, (2) first half of 2015, (3) all 2015, (4) all 2015 and first half of 2016, and (5) all 2015 and 2016. All classifiers were evaluated on the 2017 independent test set. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) served as the performance metric and was calculated over all lesions in the test set, as well as only mass lesions and only non-mass enhancements. The Mann–Kendall test was used to determine if continuous learning resulted in a positive trend in classification performance. P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: Over the continuous training period, the selected feature subsets tended to become more similar and stable. Performance of the five training conditions on the independent test dataset yielded AUCs of 0.86 (95% CI: [0.83,0.90]), 0.87 (95% CI: [0.83,0.90]), 0.88 (95% CI: [0.84,0.91]), 0.89 (95% CI: [0.85,0.92]), and 0.89 (95% CI: [0.86,0.92]). The Mann–Kendall test indicated a statistically significant positive trend (P = 0.0167) in classification performance with continuous learning. Conclusions: Improved diagnostic performance over time was observed when continuous learning of AI was implemented on an independent clinical test dataset.

Background: Ultrasound (US)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is the gold standard for the evaluation of thyroid nodules. However, up to 30% of FNA results are indeterminate, requiring further testing. In this study, we present a machine-learning analysis of indeterminate thyroid nodules on ultrasound with the aim to improve cancer diagnosis. Methods: Ultrasound images were collected from two institutions and labeled according to their FNA (F) and surgical pathology (S) diagnoses [malignant (M), benign (B), and indeterminate (I)]. Subgroup breakdown (FS) included: 90 BB, 83 IB, 70 MM, and 59 IM thyroid nodules. Margins of thyroid nodules were manually annotated, and computerized radiomic texture analysis was conducted within tumor contours. Initial investigation was conducted using five-fold cross-validation paradigm with a two-class Bayesian artificial neural networks classifier, including stepwise feature selection. Testing was conducted on an independent set and compared with a commercial molecular testing platform. Performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis in the task of distinguishing between malignant and benign nodules. Results: About 1052 ultrasound images from 302 thyroid nodules were used for radiomic feature extraction and analysis. On the training/validation set comprising 263 nodules, five-fold cross-validation yielded area under curves (AUCs) of 0.75 [Standard Error (SE) = 0.04; P < 0.001] and 0.67 (SE = 0.05; P = 0.0012) for the classification tasks of MM versus BB, and IM versus IB, respectively. On an independent test set of 19 IM/IB cases, the algorithm for distinguishing indeterminate nodules yielded an AUC value of 0.88 (SE = 0.09; P < 0.001), which was higher than the AUC of a commercially available molecular testing platform (AUC = 0.81, SE = 0.11; P < 0.005). Conclusion: Machine learning of computer-extracted texture features on gray-scale ultrasound images showed promising results classifying indeterminate thyroid nodules according to their surgical pathology.

A single breast cancer lesion can have different luminal molecular subtyping when using either immunohistochemical (IHC) staining alone or the St. Gallen criteria that includes Ki-67. This may impact artificial intelligence/computer aided diagnosis (AI/CADx) for determining molecular subtype from medical images. We investigated this using 28 radiomic features extracted from DCE-MR images of 877 unique lesions segmented by a fuzzy c-means method, for three groups of lesions: (1) Luminal A lesions by both reference standards (“agreement”), (2) lesions that were Luminal A by IHC and Luminal B by St. Gallen (“disagreement”), and (3) Luminal B lesions by both reference standards (“agreement”). The Kruskal-Wallis (KW) test for statistically significant differences in groups of lesions was sequentially followed by the Mann-Whitney U test to determine pair-wise statistical difference between groups for relevant features from the KW test. Classification of lesions as Luminal A or Luminal B using all available radiomic features was conducted using three sets of lesions: (1) lesions with IHC alone molecular subtyping, (2) lesions with St. Gallen molecular subtyping, and (3) agreement lesions. Five-fold cross-validation using stepwise feature selection/linear discriminant analysis classifier classified lesions in each set, with performance measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Six features (sphericity, irregularity, surface area to volume ratio, variance of radial gradient histogram, sum average, and volume of most enhancing voxels) were significantly different among the three groups of features with mixed difference of the disagreement group of lesions to the two agreement luminal groups. When using agreement lesions, more features were selected for classification and the AUC was significantly higher (P < 0.003) than using lesions subtyped by either reference standard. The results suggest that the disagreement of reference standards may impact the development of medical imaging AI/CADx methods for determining molecular subtype.

Since different imaging modalities provide complementary information regarding the same lesion, combining information from different modalities may increase diagnostic accuracy. In this study, we investigated the use of computerized features of lesions imaged via both full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in the classification of breast lesions. Using a manually identified lesion location, i.e. a seed point on FFDM images or a ROI on DCE-MRI images, the computer automatically segmented mass lesions and extracted a set of features for each lesion. Linear stepwise feature selection was firstly performed on single modality, yielding one feature subset for each modality. Then, these selected features served as the input to another feature selection procedure when extracting useful information from both modalities. The selected features were merged by linear discriminant analysis (LDA) into a discriminant score. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the performance of the selected feature subset in the task of distinguishing between malignant and benign lesions. From a FFDM database with 321 lesions (167 malignant and 154 benign), and a DCE-MRI database including 181 lesions (97 malignant and 84 benign), we constructed a multi-modality dataset with 51 lesions (29 malignant and 22 benign). With leave-one-out-by-lesion evaluation on the multi-modality dataset, the mammography-only features yielded an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.62 ± 0.08 and the DCE-MRI-only features yielded an AUC of 0.94±0.03. The combination of these two modalities, which included a spiculation feature from mammography and a kinetic feature from DCE-MRI, yielded an AUC of 0.94. The improvement of combining multi-modality information was statistically significant as compared to the use of mammography only (p=0.0001). However, we failed to show the statistically significant improvement as compared to DCE-MRI, with the limited multi-modality dataset (p=0.22).
