Machine Learning Interface for Medical Image Analysis
TensorFlow is a second-generation open-source machine learning software library with a built-in framework for implementing neural networks in wide variety of perceptual tasks.
Although TensorFlow usage is well established with computer vision datasets, the TensorFlow interface with DICOM formats for medical imaging remains to be established.
Our goal is to extend the TensorFlow API to accept raw DICOM images as input; 1513 DaTscan DICOM images were obtained from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) database.
DICOM pixel intensities were extracted and shaped into tensors, or n-dimensional arrays, to populate the training, validation, and test input datasets for machine learning.
A simple neural network was constructed in TensorFlow to classify images into normal or Parkinson's disease groups.
Training was executed over 1000 iterations for each cross-validation set.
The gradient descent optimization and Adagrad optimization algorithms were used to minimize cross-entropy between the predicted and ground-truth labels.
Cross-validation was performed ten times to produce a mean accuracy of 0.938 ± 0.047 (95 % CI 0.908-0.967).
The mean sensitivity was 0.974 ± 0.043 (95 % CI 0.947-1.00) and mean specificity was 0.822 ± 0.207 (95 % CI 0.694-0.950).
We extended the TensorFlow API to enable DICOM compatibility in the context of DaTscan image analysis.
We implemented a neural network classifier that produces diagnostic accuracies on par with excellent results from previous machine learning models.
These results indicate the potential role of TensorFlow as a useful adjunct diagnostic tool in the clinical setting.
产品需求文档是将商业需求文档（BRD）和市场需求文档（MRD）用更加专业的语言进行描述。该文档是产品项目由“概念化”阶段进入到“图纸化”阶段的最主要的一个文档。当然，这个定义针对的是一个全新的产品。广义上来讲，产品需求的描述，应该包含有产品的战略和战术，战略是指：产品定位、目标市场、目标用户、竞争对手等。战术是指产品的结构、核心业务流程、具体用例描述、功能&内容描述等，本文主要讨论的是战术部分。
PRD的主要使用对象有：开发、测试、项目经理、交互设计师、运营及其他业务人员。开发可以根据PRD获知整个产品的逻辑；测试可以根据PRD建用例；项目经理可以根据PRD拆分工作包，并分配开发人员；交互设计师可以通过PRD来设计交互细节。PRD是项目启动之前，必须要通过评审确定的最重要文档。
