Machine and Deep Learning Approaches Applied to Classify Gougerot–Sjögren Syndrome and Jointly Segment Salivary Glands

To diagnose Gougerot–Sjögren syndrome (GSS), ultrasound imaging (US) is a promising tool for helping physicians and experts. Our project focuses on the automatic detection of the presence of GSS using US. Ultrasound imaging suffers from a weak signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, any classification or...

description To diagnose Gougerot–Sjögren syndrome (GSS), ultrasound imaging (US) is a promising tool for helping physicians and experts. Our project focuses on the automatic detection of the presence of GSS using US. Ultrasound imaging suffers from a weak signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, any classification or segmentation task based on these images becomes a difficult challenge. To address these two tasks, we evaluate different approaches: a classification using a machine learning method along with feature extraction based on a set of measurements following the radiomics guidance and a deep-learning-based classification. We propose, therefore, an innovative method to enhance the training of a deep neural network with a two phases: multiple supervision using joint classification and a segmentation implemented as pretraining. We highlight the fact that our learning methods provide segmentation results similar to those performed by human experts. We obtain proficient segmentation results for salivary glands and promising detection results for Gougerot–Sjögren syndrome; we observe maximal accuracy with the model trained in two phases. Our experimental results corroborate the fact that deep learning and radiomics combined with ultrasound imaging can be a promising tool for the above-mentioned problems.
