Comprehensive Evaluation of Multimodal AI Models in Medical Imaging Diagnosis: From Data Augmentation to Preference-Based Comparison

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This study introduces an evaluation framework for multimodal models in medical imaging diagnostics. We developed a pipeline incorporating data preprocessing, model inference, and preference-based evaluation, expanding an initial set of 500 clinical cases to 3,000 through controlled augmentation. Our method combined medical images with clinical observations to generate assessments, using Claude 3.5 Sonnet for independent evaluation against physician-authored diagnoses. The results indicated varying performance across models, with Llama 3.2-90B outperforming human diagnoses in 85.27% of cases. In contrast, specialized vision models like BLIP2 and Llava showed preferences in 41.36% and 46.77% of cases, respectively. This framework highlights the potential of large multimodal models to outperform human diagnostics in certain tasks.


Domain Adaptation-based Edge Computing for Cross-Conditions Fault Diagnosis

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Fault diagnosis technology supports the healthy operation of mechanical equipment. However, the variations conditions during the operation of mechanical equipment lead to significant disparities in data distribution, posing challenges to fault diagnosis. Furthermore, when deploying applications, traditional methods often encounter issues such as latency and data security. Therefore, conducting fault diagnosis and deploying application methods under cross-operating conditions holds significant value. This paper proposes a domain adaptation-based lightweight fault diagnosis framework for edge computing scenarios. Incorporating the local maximum mean discrepancy into knowledge transfer aligns the feature distributions of different domains in a high-dimensional feature space, to discover a common feature space across domains. The acquired fault diagnosis expertise from the cloud-model is transferred to the lightweight edge-model using adaptation knowledge transfer methods. While ensuring real-time diagnostic capabilities, accurate fault diagnosis is achieved across working conditions. We conducted validation experiments on the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX kit. In terms of diagnostic performance, the proposed method significantly improved diagnostic accuracy, with average increases of 34.44% and 17.33% compared to the comparison method, respectively. Regarding lightweight effectiveness, proposed method achieved an average inference speed increase of 80.47%. Additionally, compared to the cloud-model, the parameter count of the edge-model decreased by 96.37%, while the Flops decreased by 83.08%.


Detecting COVID-19 by analyzing lung images using artificial intelligence models

#artificialintelligence

Medical imaging has long been a vital tool for the diagnosis and prognostic assessments of many diseases. In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence models has been used in conjunction with this imaging to augment their diagnostic capabilities. By using these models, some features can be extracted from images that may reveal disease characteristics not identified by the naked eye. The power to process data in this intelligent manner can have a big impact on the medical field, especially with the current growth in imaging features and the need for high precision in medical decisions. There is a huge demand for rapid and accurate detection of COVID-19 infection.

The promise of artificial intelligence (AI) is finally being realized across a wide variety of industries. AI is now viewed as a crucial technology to adopt for enterprises to thrive in today's business environment. Healthcare, in particular, has been one of the industries that AI advocates expect to be revolutionized by AI. Potential use cases paint a clear picture of how healthcare stakeholders stand to benefit from AI in the months ahead. Patient care standards are projected to improve, diagnostic capabilities are expected to expand, and facilities should become far more efficient.


Mobile Artificial Intelligence Technology for Detecting Macula Edema and Subretinal Fluid on OCT Scans: Initial Results from the DATUM alpha Study

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is necessary to address the large and growing deficit in retina and healthcare access globally. And mobile AI diagnostic platforms running in the Cloud may effectively and efficiently distribute such AI capability. Here we sought to evaluate the feasibility of Cloud-based mobile artificial intelligence for detection of retinal disease. And to evaluate the accuracy of a particular such system for detection of subretinal fluid (SRF) and macula edema (ME) on OCT scans. A multicenter retrospective image analysis was conducted in which board-certified ophthalmologists with fellowship training in retina evaluated OCT images of the macula. They noted the presence or absence of ME or SRF, then compared their assessment to that obtained from Fluid Intelligence, a mobile AI app that detects SRF and ME on OCT scans. Investigators consecutively selected retinal OCTs, while making effort to balance the number of scans with retinal fluid and scans without. Exclusion criteria included poor scan quality, ambiguous features, macula holes, retinoschisis, and dense epiretinal membranes. Accuracy in the form of sensitivity and specificity of the AI mobile App was determined by comparing its assessments to those of the retina specialists. At the time of this submission, five centers have completed their initial studies. This consists of a total of 283 OCT scans of which 155 had either ME or SRF ("wet") and 128 did not ("dry"). The sensitivity ranged from 82.5% to 97% with a weighted average of 89.3%. The specificity ranged from 52% to 100% with a weighted average of 81.23%. CONCLUSION: Cloud-based Mobile AI technology is feasible for the detection retinal disease. In particular, Fluid Intelligence (alpha version), is sufficiently accurate as a screening tool for SRF and ME, especially in underserved areas. Further studies and technology development is needed.
