Automated interpretation of the coronary angioscopy with deep convolutional neural networks.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Coronary angioscopy (CAS) is a useful modality to assess atherosclerotic changes, but interpretation of the images requires expert knowledge. Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) can be used for diagnostic prediction and image synthesis. METHODS:107 images from 47 patients, who underwent CAS in our hospital between 2014 and 2017, and 864 images, selected from 142 MEDLINE-indexed articles published between 2000 and 2019, were analysed. First, we developed a prediction model for the angioscopic findings. Next, we made a generative adversarial networks (GAN) model to simulate the CAS images. Finally, we tried to control the output images according to the angioscopic findings with conditional GAN architecture. RESULTS:For both yellow colour (YC) grade and neointimal coverage (NC) grade, we could observe strong correlations between the true grades and the predicted values (YC grade, average r=0.80±0.02, p<0.001; NC grade, average r=0.73±0.02, p<0.001). The binary classification model for the red thrombus yielded 0.71±0.03 F1-score and the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve was 0.91±0.02. The standard GAN model could generate realistic CAS images (average Inception score=3.57±0.06). GAN-based data augmentation improved the performance of the prediction models. In the conditional GAN model, there were significant correlations between given values and the expert's diagnosis in YC grade but not in NC grade. CONCLUSION:DCNN is useful in both predictive and generative modelling that can help develop the diagnostic support system for CAS.

Project description:Importance:Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide. The decision to treat is primarily based on the presence of plus disease, defined as dilation and tortuosity of retinal vessels. However, clinical diagnosis of plus disease is highly subjective and variable. Objective:To implement and validate an algorithm based on deep learning to automatically diagnose plus disease from retinal photographs. Design, Setting, and Participants:A deep convolutional neural network was trained using a data set of 5511 retinal photographs. Each image was previously assigned a reference standard diagnosis (RSD) based on consensus of image grading by 3 experts and clinical diagnosis by 1 expert (ie, normal, pre-plus disease, or plus disease). The algorithm was evaluated by 5-fold cross-validation and tested on an independent set of 100 images. Images were collected from 8 academic institutions participating in the Imaging and Informatics in ROP (i-ROP) cohort study. The deep learning algorithm was tested against 8 ROP experts, each of whom had more than 10 years of clinical experience and more than 5 peer-reviewed publications about ROP. Data were collected from July 2011 to December 2016. Data were analyzed from December 2016 to September 2017. Exposures:A deep learning algorithm trained on retinal photographs. Main Outcomes and Measures:Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to evaluate performance of the algorithm against the RSD. Quadratic-weighted ? coefficients were calculated for ternary classification (ie, normal, pre-plus disease, and plus disease) to measure agreement with the RSD and 8 independent experts. Results:Of the 5511 included retinal photographs, 4535 (82.3%) were graded as normal, 805 (14.6%) as pre-plus disease, and 172 (3.1%) as plus disease, based on the RSD. Mean (SD) area under the receiver operating characteristic curve statistics were 0.94 (0.01) for the diagnosis of normal (vs pre-plus disease or plus disease) and 0.98 (0.01) for the diagnosis of plus disease (vs normal or pre-plus disease). For diagnosis of plus disease in an independent test set of 100 retinal images, the algorithm achieved a sensitivity of 93% with 94% specificity. For detection of pre-plus disease or worse, the sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 94%, respectively. On the same test set, the algorithm achieved a quadratic-weighted ? coefficient of 0.92 compared with the RSD, outperforming 6 of 8 ROP experts. Conclusions and Relevance:This fully automated algorithm diagnosed plus disease in ROP with comparable or better accuracy than human experts. This has potential applications in disease detection, monitoring, and prognosis in infants at risk of ROP.

Project description:Diffuse white matter abnormality (DWMA), or diffuse excessive high signal intensity is observed in 50-80% of very preterm infants at term-equivalent age. It is subjectively defined as higher than normal signal intensity in periventricular and subcortical white matter in comparison to normal unmyelinated white matter on T2-weighted MRI images. Despite the well-documented presence of DWMA, it remains debatable whether DWMA represents pathological tissue injury or a transient developmental phenomenon. Manual tracing of DWMA exhibits poor reliability and reproducibility and unduly increases image processing time. Thus, objective and ideally automatic assessment is critical to accurately elucidate the biologic nature of DWMA. We propose a deep learning approach to automatically identify DWMA regions on T2-weighted MRI images. Specifically, we formulated DWMA detection as an image voxel classification task; that is, the voxels on T2-weighted images are treated as samples and exclusively assigned as DWMA or normal white matter voxel classes. To utilize the spatial information of individual voxels, small image patches centered on the given voxels are retrieved. A deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) model was developed to differentiate DWMA and normal voxels. We tested our deep CNN in multiple validation experiments. First, we examined DWMA detection accuracy of our CNN model using computer simulations. This was followed by in vivo assessments in a cohort of very preterm infants (N = 95) using cross-validation and holdout validation. Finally, we tested our approach on an independent preterm cohort (N = 28) to externally validate our model. Our deep CNN model achieved Dice similarity index values ranging from 0.85 to 0.99 for DWMA detection in the aforementioned validation experiments. Our proposed deep CNN model exhibited significantly better performance than other popular machine learning models. We present an objective and automated approach for accurately identifying DWMA that may facilitate the clinical diagnosis of DWMA in very preterm infants.
