Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is a novel drug delivery mode which has been widely used in clinical practice. However, long-term retention and some improper actions of patients may cause some severe complications of PICC, such as the drift and prolapse of its catheter. Clinically, the postoperative care of PICC is mainly completed by nurses. However, they cannot recognize the correct position of PICC from X-ray chest images as soon as the complications happen, which may lead to improper treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the position of the PICC catheter as soon as these complications occur. Here we proposed a novel multi-task deep learning framework to detect PICC automatically through X-ray images, which could help nurses to solve this problem.
