Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging: State of the Art.

ABSTRACT: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) secondary to coronary vessel plaques represent a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Advancements in imaging technology over the last 3 decades have continuously enabled the study of coronary plaques via invasive imaging methods like intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The introduction of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a modality that could detect the lipid (cholesterol) content of atherosclerotic plaques in the early nineties, opened the potential of studying "vulnerable" or rupture-prone, lipid-rich coronary plaques in ACS patients. Most recently, the ability of NIRS-IVUS to identify patients at risk of future adverse events was shown in a prospective multicenter trial, the Lipid-Rich-plaque Study. Intracoronary NIRS-IVUS imaging offers a unique method of coronary lipid-plaque characterization and could become a valuable clinical diagnostic and treatment monitoring tool.

Project description:AimsCoronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is inferior to intravascular imaging in detecting plaque morphology and quantifying plaque burden. We aim to, for the first time, train a deep-learning (DL) methodology for accurate plaque quantification and characterization in CCTA using near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS).Methods and resultsSeventy patients were prospectively recruited who underwent CCTA and NIRS-IVUS imaging. Corresponding cross sections were matched using an in-house developed software, and the estimations of NIRS-IVUS for the lumen, vessel wall borders, and plaque composition were used to train a convolutional neural network in 138 vessels. The performance was evaluated in 48 vessels and compared against the estimations of NIRS-IVUS and the conventional CCTA expert analysis. Sixty-four patients (186 vessels, 22 012 matched cross sections) were included. Deep-learning methodology provided estimations that were closer to NIRS-IVUS compared with the conventional approach for the total atheroma volume (ΔDL-NIRS-IVUS: -37.8 ± 89.0 vs. ΔConv-NIRS-IVUS: 243.3 ± 183.7 mm3, variance ratio: 4.262, P < 0.001) and percentage atheroma volume (-3.34 ± 5.77 vs. 17.20 ± 7.20%, variance ratio: 1.578, P < 0.001). The DL methodology detected lesions more accurately than the conventional approach (Area under the curve (AUC): 0.77 vs. 0.67, P < 0.001) and quantified minimum lumen area (ΔDL-NIRS-IVUS: -0.35 ± 1.81 vs. ΔConv-NIRS-IVUS: 1.37 ± 2.32 mm2, variance ratio: 1.634, P < 0.001), maximum plaque burden (4.33 ± 11.83% vs. 5.77 ± 16.58%, variance ratio: 2.071, P = 0.004), and calcific burden (-51.2 ± 115.1 vs. -54.3 ± 144.4, variance ratio: 2.308, P < 0.001) more accurately than conventional approach. The DL methodology was able to segment a vessel on CCTA in 0.3 s.ConclusionsThe DL methodology developed for CCTA analysis from co-registered NIRS-IVUS and CCTA data enables rapid and accurate assessment of lesion morphology and is superior to expert analysts (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03556644).
