A FEW EXAMPLES
TEXT DATA
Electronic Health Records
• 76214 patients
• Prediction of 78 diseases

Miotto et al, Scientific Reports, 2016
2 million adult and pediatric patients cared for at either the Stanford Hospital or the
Lucile Packard Children’s hospital between 1995 and 2014
Prediction of death (3-12 months)
MEDICAL IMAGING
DICOM
CheXnet
• Deep Neural Network (121
layers)
• Trained on 100 000 Chest X-
Rays
• 14 anomalies
• Saliency map

MRI 0-40% (0-53%) 92-98% (88-99%) 0,58-0,76 (0,47-0,86)
MRI + DWI 52-64% (85-99%) 89-97% (85-99%) 0,78-0,8 (0,69-0,91)
HUMAN PERFORMANCE?
Predict survival from
CT scans
PATHOLOGY
270 patients
External validation on 129 other patients
AUC : 0.556 - 0.994
RADIATION ONCOLOGY
Automatic segmentation
S. Nikolov et al, ArXiv, 2018
• CNN
• 450 CT scans
Automatic treatment planning
Mahmood et al, ArXiv, 2018
BUT WE NEED TO REMAIN VERY CAREFUL…
