About

Joana Rocha started her Integrated Master's in Bioengineering at the University of Porto in 2014, focusing on computer vision and artificial intelligence for biomedical applications. She joined Swansea University to study human motion patterns, developing an automated measurement technique for physical activity assessment. In 2018, she joined INESC-TEC, where she worked on a computer-aided diagnosis system for lung cancer, biometrics for presentation attack detection, and is now working on explainable AI for automated thoracic pathology screening.

Abstract
Backed by more powerful computational resources and optimized training routines, deep learning models have proven unprecedented performance and several benefits to extract information from chest X-ray data. This is one of the most common imaging exams, whose increasing demand is reflected in the aggravated radiologists’ workload. Consequently, healthcare would benefit from computer-aided diagnosis systems to prioritize certain exams and further identify possible pathologies. Pioneering work in chest X-ray analysis has focused on the identification of specific diseases, but to the best of the authors' knowledge no paper has specifically reviewed relevant work on abnormality detection and multi-label thoracic pathology classification. This paper focuses on those issues, selecting the leading chest X-ray based deep learning strategies for comparison. In addition, the paper discloses the current annotated public chest X-ray databases, covering the common thorax diseases.
