Constrative Learning for Kidney Transplant Analysis using MRI data and Deep Convolutional Networks
Résumé
In this work, we propose contrastive learning schemes based on a 3D Convolutional Neural
Network (CNN) to generate meaningful representations for kidney transplants associated with different relevant clinical information. To deal with the problem of a limited amount of data, we investigate various two-stream schemes pre-trained in a contrastive manner, where we use the cosine embedding loss to learn to discriminate pairs of inputs. Our universal 3D CNN models identify low dimensional manifolds for representing Dynamic ContrastEnhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging series from four different follow-up exams after the transplant surgery. Feature visualization analysis highlights the relevance of our proposed contrastive pre-trainings and therefore their significance in the study of chronic dysfunction mechanisms in renal transplantation, setting the path for future research in this area. The code is available at https://github.com/leomlck/renal_transplant_imaging.
