RAM-H1200: A Unified Evaluation and Dataset on Hand Radiographs for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

RAM‑H1200 is a new public benchmark comprising 1,200 hand radiographs from six medical centers, each annotated with whole‑hand bone instance segmentation, pixel‑level bone erosion masks, joint regions of interest, and joint‑level Sharp‑van der Heijde (SvdH) scores for bone erosion and joint space narrowing. The dataset enables unified multi‑level analysis of anatomical structure, localized erosive pathology, and clinically standardized RA severity, filling a gap in existing resources that lack full‑hand coverage and fine‑grained annotations. Initial benchmark results show strong performance in bone segmentation but highlight that bone erosion segmentation remains a significant challenge, underscoring the dataset’s potential to advance quantitative RA analysis.

Integrating Local Detail and Global Context: A Dual-Input Multi-Task Learning Framework for Bone Tumor Diagnosis

The paper introduces a dual‑input, multi‑task learning framework that jointly segments and classifies bone tumors by applying bidirectional cross‑modal attention between a lesion crop and the full radiograph. Using a YOLO‑based detector and a dual‑stream DenseNet121 architecture, the model fuses fine‑grained lesion detail with global anatomical context through a novel cross‑modal attention fusion strategy and hierarchical multi‑scale feature fusion. On the multi‑institutional Bone Tumor X‑ray Radiograph Dataset, the approach outperforms single‑input baselines, achieving a Dice coefficient of 0.896 and a macro‑averaged F1‑score of 0.928, with an AUC of 0.999 for malignant osteosarcoma.
