Decomposing Normal and Abnormal Features of Medical Images for Content-based Image Retrieval (2011.06224v1)
Published 12 Nov 2020 in eess.IV and cs.CV
Abstract: Medical images can be decomposed into normal and abnormal features, which is considered as the compositionality. Based on this idea, we propose an encoder-decoder network to decompose a medical image into two discrete latent codes: a normal anatomy code and an abnormal anatomy code. Using these latent codes, we demonstrate a similarity retrieval by focusing on either normal or abnormal features of medical images.
