Résumé

Cardiac disease is one of the leading causes of death in dogs. Automatic cardiomegaly detection has great significance in helping clinicians improve the accuracy of the diagnosis process. Deep learning methods show promising results in improving cardiomegaly classification accuracy, while they are still not widely applied in clinical trials due to the difficulty in mapping predicted results with input radiographs. To overcome these challenges, we first collect large-scale dog heart X-ray images. We then develop a dog heart labeling tool and apply a few-shot generalization strategy to accelerate the label speed. We also develop a regressive vision transformer model with an orthogonal layer to bridge traditional clinically used VHS metric with deep learning models. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance.
