Brain Tumor Anomaly Detection via Latent Regularized Adversarial Network
With the development of medical imaging technology, medical images have become an important basis for doctors to diagnose patients. The brain structure in the collected data is complicated, thence, doctors are required to spend plentiful energy when diagnosing brain abnormalities. Aiming at the imbalance of brain tumor data and the rare amount of labeled data, we propose an innovative brain tumor abnormality detection algorithm. The semi supervised anomaly detection model is proposed in which only healthy (normal) brain images are trained. Model capture the common pattern of the normal images in the training process and detect anomalies based on the reconstruction error of latent space. Furthermore, the method first uses singular value to constrain the latent space and jointly optimizes the image space through multiple loss functions, which make normal samples and abnormal samples more separable in the feature level. This paper utilizes BraTS, HCP, MNIST, and CIFAR 10 datasets to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness and practicability. Extensive experiments on intra and cross dataset tests prove that our semi supervised method achieves outperforms or comparable results to state of the art supervised techniques.
