摘要:

目的:在这项研究中,我们调查了卷积神经网络(CNN)是否可以在急性缺血性卒中患者的临床环境中从CT灌注数据生成临床相关的参数图。方法:在100个灌注数据的子集上进行CNN的训练,同时使用15个样本作为验证。所有用于网络训练/验证和使用最先进的去卷积算法生成地面实况(GT)图的数据都是使用标准管道预先处理的。通过人工分割CNN衍生图和GT图上的梗死核心和半影进行验证。使用病变体积之间的Dice和Pearson相关系数评估分割病变之间的一致性。结果:来自两个不同评分者的平均Dice评分和GT图均> 0.70(良好匹配)。评价者间一致性也很高,并且发现CNN图和GT图的病变体积之间存在强相关性(0.99,0.98)。结论:我们基于CNN的方法生成了临床相关的灌注图,与基于数据去卷积的最新灌注分析方法相当。此外,所提出的技术需要更少的信息来估计缺血核心,因此可能允许开发具有较低辐射剂量的新型灌注协议。

英文摘要:

Purpose: In this study we investigate whether a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) can generate clinically relevant parametric maps from CT perfusion data in a clinical setting of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: Training of the CNN was done on a subset of 100 perfusion data, while 15 samples were used as validation. All the data used for the training/validation of the network and to generate ground truth (GT) maps, using a state-of-the-art deconvolution-algorithm, were previously pre-processed using a standard pipeline. Validation was carried out through manual segmentation of infarct core and penumbra on both CNN-derived maps and GT maps. Concordance among segmented lesions was assessed using the Dice and the Pearson correlation coefficients across lesion volumes. Results: Mean Dice scores from two different raters and the GT maps were > 0.70 (good-matching). Inter-rater concordance was also high and strong correlation was found between lesion volumes of CNN maps and GT maps (0.99, 0.98). Conclusion: Our CNN-based approach generated clinically relevant perfusion maps that are comparable to state-of-the-art perfusion analysis methods based on deconvolution of the data. Moreover, the proposed technique requires less information to estimate the ischemic core and thus might allow the development of novel perfusion protocols with lower radiation dose.
