ABSTRACT
The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in 2019 has highlighted the need for automatic diagnosis of the disease, which can develop rapidly into a severe condition. Nevertheless, distinguishing between COVID-19 pneumonia and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) through computed tomography scans can be challenging due to their similar characteristics. The existing methods often perform poorly in the 3-class classification task of healthy, CAP, and COVID-19 pneumonia, and they have poor ability to handle the heterogeneity of multi-centers data. To address these challenges, we design a COVID-19 classification model using global information optimized network (GIONet) and cross-centers domain adversarial learning strategy. Our approach includes proposing a 3D convolutional neural network with graph enhanced aggregation unit and multi-scale self-attention fusion unit to improve the global feature extraction capability. We also verified that domain adversarial training can effectively reduce feature distance between different centers to address the heterogeneity of multi-center data, and used specialized generative adversarial networks to balance data distribution and improve diagnostic performance. Our experiments demonstrate satisfying diagnosis results, with a mixed dataset accuracy of 99.17% and cross-centers task accuracies of 86.73% and 89.61%.
