A Multi-task Learning framework for Segmentation and Classification of Patellofemoral Osteoarthritis in Multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Published: 16 May 2023 Publication History

Abstract

Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is a common disease that seriously impacts patients' quality of life. The diagnosis of PFOA is related to the shape of bones and joints. In addition, multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mMRI) can provide complementary information for diagnosing PFOA. Herein, we proposed a multi-parametric multi-task learning framework (MM-ResUNet) for the segmentation and classification of PFOA. This framework includes an encoder-decoder network for segmentation and a sub-network for classification. At the same time, we also proposed a learnable feature fusion module to further improve the classification performance for PFOA. Lastly, a hybrid multi-task loss function is proposed to supervise the training process of the framework. We retrospectively collected 200 patients' multi-parameter MRI images, and the result shows that our multi-parameter multi-task learning framework significantly improves the performance of both tasks.
