Abstract

This paper presents an approach for the automated analysis of 3D Computed Tomography (CT) images based on the utilization of descriptors extracted using 3D deep convolutional autoencoder (AEC  [8]) networks. Both the common flow of AEC model application and a set of techniques for overcoming the lack of training samples are presented in this work. The described approach was used for accomplishing the two subtasks of the ImageCLEF 2019: Tuberculosis competition  [2, 5] and allowed to achieve the 2nd best performance in the TB Severity Scoring subtask and the 6th best performance in the TB CT Report subtask.
