Interpretable and synergistic deep learning for visual explanation and statistical estimations of segmentation of disease features from medical images
The study compares deep learning models trained via transfer learning from ImageNet (TII-models) against those trained solely on medical images (LMI-models) for disease segmentation. Results show that combining outputs from both model types can improve segmentation performance by up to 10% in certain scenarios. A repository of models, code, and over 10,000 medical images is available on GitHub to facilitate further research.
