Table I.

Target tasks for Transfer Learning. We transfer the learned representations by fine-tuning it for seven medical imaging applications including 3D and 2D image classification and segmentation tasks. To evaluate the generalization ability of our TransVW, we select a diverse set of applications ranging from the tasks on the same dataset as pre-training to the tasks on the unseen organs, datasets, or modalities during pre-training. For each task, ✓denotes the properties that are in common between the pretext and target tasks.

Code* Application Object Modality Dataset Common with pretext task

NCS Lung nodule segmentation Lung Nodule CT LIDC-IDRI [8]
ECC Pulmonary embolism false positive reduction Pulmonary Emboli CT PE-CAD [9]

The first letter denotes the object of interest (“N” for lung nodule, “B” for brain tumor, “L” for liver, etc); the second letter denotes the modality (“C” for CT, “X” for X-ray, “M” for MRI); the last letter denotes the task (“C” for classification, “S” for segmentation).
