Abstract
There have been rapid advances at the intersection of deep learning and medicine over the last few years, especially for the interpretation of medical images. In this thesis, I describe three key directions that present challenges and opportunities for the development of deep learning technologies for medical image interpretation. First, I discuss the development of algorithms for expert-level medical image interpretation, with a focus on transfer learning and self-supervised learning algorithms designed to work in low labeled medical data settings. Second, I discuss the design and curation of high-quality datasets and their roles in advancing algorithmic developments, with a focus on high-quality labeling with limited manual annotations. Third, I discuss the real-world evaluation of medical image algorithms with studies systematically analyzing performance under clinically relevant distribution shifts. Altogether this thesis summarizes key contributions and insights in each of these directions with key applications across medical specialties.
