X-ray Recognition: Patient identification from X-rays using a contrastive objective

29 Apr 2023  ·  Hao Liang, Kevin Ni, Guha Balakrishnan ·

Recent research demonstrates that deep learning models are capable of precisely extracting bio-information (e.g. race, gender and age) from patients' Chest X-Rays (CXRs). In this paper, we further show that deep learning models are also surprisingly accurate at recognition, i.e., distinguishing CXRs belonging to the same patient from those belonging to different patients. These findings suggest potential privacy considerations that the medical imaging community should consider with the proliferation of large public CXR databases.
