We evaluated the efficacy of a curriculum learning strategy using two steps to detect pulmonary abnormalities including nodule[s], consolidation, interstitial opacity, pleural effusion, and pneumothorax with chest-PA X-ray (CXR) images from two centres. CXR images of 6069 healthy subjects and 3417 patients at AMC and 1035 healthy subjects and 4404 patients at SNUBH were obtained. Our approach involved two steps. First, the regional patterns of thoracic abnormalities were identified by initial learning of patch images around abnormal lesions. Second, Resnet-50 was fine-tuned using the entire images. The network was weakly trained and modified to detect various disease patterns. Finally, class activation maps (CAM) were extracted to localise and visualise the abnormal patterns. For average disease, the sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) were 85.4%, 99.8%, and 0.947, respectively, in the AMC dataset and 97.9%, 100.0%, and 0.983, respectively, in the SNUBH dataset. This curriculum learning and weak labelling with high-scale CXR images requires less preparation to train the system and could be easily extended to include various diseases in actual clinical environments. This algorithm performed well for the detection and classification of five disease patterns in CXR images and could be helpful in image interpretation.
