Machine-learning-based multiple abnormality prediction with large-scale chest computed tomography volumes.

ABSTRACT: Machine learning models for radiology benefit from large-scale data sets with high quality labels for abnormalities. We curated and analyzed a chest computed tomography (CT) data set of 36,316 volumes from 19,993 unique patients. This is the largest multiply-annotated volumetric medical imaging data set reported. To annotate this data set, we developed a rule-based method for automatically extracting abnormality labels from free-text radiology reports with an average F-score of 0.976 (min 0.941, max 1.0). We also developed a model for multi-organ, multi-disease classification of chest CT volumes that uses a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). This model reached a classification performance of AUROC >0.90 for 18 abnormalities, with an average AUROC of 0.773 for all 83 abnormalities, de
