Advancements in clinical treatment and research are limited by supervised learning techniques that rely on large amounts of annotated data, an expensive task requiring many hours of clinical specialists' time. In this paper, we propose using self-supervised and semi-supervised learning. These techniques perform an auxiliary task that is label-free, scaling up machine-supervision is easier compared with fully-supervised techniques. This paper proposes S4MI (Self-Supervision and Semi-Supervision for Medical Imaging), our pipeline to leverage advances in self and semi-supervision learning. We benchmark them on three medical imaging datasets to analyze their efficacy for classification and segmentation. This advancement in self-supervised learning with 10% annotation performed better than 100% annotation for the classification of most datasets. The semi-supervised approach yielded favorable outcomes for segmentation, outperforming the fully-supervised approach by using 50% fewer labels in all three datasets.
