Detecting abnormal electroencephalograms using deep convolutional networks.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a central part of the medical evaluation for patients with neurological disorders. Training an algorithm to label the EEG normal vs abnormal seems challenging, because of EEG heterogeneity and dependence of contextual factors, including age and sleep stage. Our objectives were to validate prior work on an independent data set suggesting that deep learning methods can discriminate between normal vs abnormal EEGs, to understand whether age and sleep stage information can improve discrimination, and to understand what factors lead to errors.

Methods

We train a deep convolutional neural network on a heterogeneous set of 8522 routine EEGs from the Massachusetts General Hospital. We explore several strategies for optimizing model performance, including accounting for age and sleep stage.

Results

The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) on an independent test set (n = 851) is 0.917 marginally improved by including age (AUC = 0.924), and both age and sleep stages (AUC = 0.925), though not statistically significant.

Conclusions

The model architecture generalizes well to an independent dataset. Adding age and sleep stage to the model does not significantly improve performance.

Significance

Insights learned from misclassified examples, and minimal improvement by adding sleep stage and age suggest fruitful directions for further research.

Project description:PURPOSE:Convolutional neural networks have become rapidly popular for image recognition and image analysis because of its powerful potential. In this paper, we developed a method for classifying subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma from pathological images using neural network whose that can evaluate phenotypic features from wider area to consider cellular distributions. METHODS:In order to recognize the types of tumors, we need not only to detail features of cells, but also to incorporate statistical distribution of the different types of cells. Variants of autoencoders as building blocks of pre-trained convolutional layers of neural networks are implemented. A sparse deep autoencoder which minimizes local information entropy on the encoding layer is then proposed and applied to images of size [Formula: see text]. We applied this model for feature extraction from pathological images of lung adenocarcinoma, which is comprised of three transcriptome subtypes previously defined by the Cancer Genome Atlas network. Since the tumor tissue is composed of heterogeneous cell populations, recognition of tumor transcriptome subtypes requires more information than local pattern of cells. The parameters extracted using this approach will then be used in multiple reduction stages to perform classification on larger images. RESULTS:We were able to demonstrate that these networks successfully recognize morphological features of lung adenocarcinoma. We also performed classification and reconstruction experiments to compare the outputs of the variants. The results showed that the larger input image that covers a certain area of the tissue is required to recognize transcriptome subtypes. The sparse autoencoder network with [Formula: see text] input provides a 98.9% classification accuracy. CONCLUSION:This study shows the potential of autoencoders as a feature extraction paradigm and paves the way for a whole slide image analysis tool to predict molecular subtypes of tumors from pathological features.
