Title
Automatic Grading Assessments for Knee MRI Cartilage Defects via Self-ensembling Semi-supervised Learning with Dual-Consistency
Abstract
•A semi-supervised learning framework called Dual-Consistency Mean Teacher (DC-MT) is designed for the knee cartilage defect assessment task.•A novel attention loss is defined to make the DC-MT model focus on the cartilage regions, yielding accurate attention masks for knee cartilage defect assessment.•A novel dual-consistency strategy is developed in the DC-MT model to penalize the inconsistent attention masks obtained from the student and the teacher sub-networks.•An aggregation network is proposed to ensemble features from all the slice-level by the DC-MT model, and finally yields the subject-level diagnosis.
