Dr. McMillan presents at the 2022 Statistics in Medical Imaging Conference

Dr. McMillan presented at the 2022 Statistics in Medical Imaging (SMI) Conference that occurred May 25-27th at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.  This meeting is the official meeting of the Statistics in Imaging Section of the American Statistical Association and focuses on statistical work in imaging sciences. Dr. McMillan gave a talk entitled “Robustness (or not) of deep learning methods applied to medical images” which discussed issues related to robustness for deep learning methods applied to medical images which are extensively applied to various medical image reconstruction, processing, and analysis pipelines. It is known that deep learning methods can be particularly brittle when exposed to adversarial inputs—either of intentional or unintentional origin and this talk outlined strategies to assess and improve the robustness of deep learning methods for medical images.
