Abstract
Recent advances in machine learning have enabled important applications in medicine, where many critical tasks are tedious and time-consuming for clinicians to perform. This dissertation presents work on using machine learning for cardiology, pathology, and RNA sequencing. This dissertation begins with several applications of machine learning in cardiology, focusing on echocardiograms, or ultrasounds of the heart. Conventional assessment of echocardiograms requires tedious annotation by a human expert. First, I introduce EchoNet-Dynamic, an algorithm for assessing cardiac function from echocardiograms. EchoNet-Dynamic is then integrated into a clinical system and evaluated with a blinded randomized clinical trial. Extensions of the algorithm to pediatric patients and emergency department point-of-care echocardiograms are then presented. This dissertation then presents work applying machine learning to pathology and RNA sequencing. First, I present in silico-IHC, which predicts immunohistochemical stains from commonly available histochemically-stained tissue samples. Next, I present ST-Net, which combines RNA sequencing and pathology by estimating spatial transcriptomics measurements from microscopy images. Finally, I present CloudPred, which predicts patient phenotypes from single-cell RNA sequencing data.
