Use of artificial intelligence to recover mandibular morphology after disease.

ABSTRACT: Mandibular tumors and radical oral cancer surgery often cause bone dysmorphia and defects. Most patients present with noticeable mandibular deformations, and doctors often have difficulty determining their exact mandibular morphology. In this study, a deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) called CTGAN is proposed to complete 3D mandibular cone beam computed tomography data from CT data. After extensive training, CTGAN was tested on 6 mandibular tumor cases, resulting in 3D virtual mandibular completion. We found that CTGAN can generate mandibles with different levels and rich morphology, including positional and angular changes and local patterns. The completion results are shown as tomographic images combining generated and natural areas. The 3D generated mandibles have the anatomical morphology of the real mandibles and transition smoothly to the portions without disease, showing that CTGAN constructs mandibles with the expected patient characteristics and is suitable for mandibular morphological completion. The presented modeling principles can be applied to other areas for 3D morphological completion from medical images.Clinical trial registration: This study is not a clinical trial. Patient data were only used for testing in a virtual environment. The use of the digital data used in this study was ethically approved.

Project description:SignificanceQuantifying meibomian gland morphology from meibography images is used for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of meibomian gland dysfunction in clinics. A novel and automated method is described for quantifying meibomian gland morphology from meibography images.PurposeMeibomian gland morphological abnormality is a common clinical sign of meibomian gland dysfunction, yet there exist no automated methods that provide standard quantifications of morphological features for individual glands. This study introduces an automated artificial intelligence approach to segmenting individual meibomian gland regions in infrared meibography images and analyzing their morphological features.MethodsA total of 1443 meibography images were collected and annotated. The dataset was then divided into development and evaluation sets. The development set was used to train and tune deep learning models for segmenting glands and identifying ghost glands from images, whereas the evaluation set was used to evaluate the performance of the model. The gland segmentations were further used to analyze individual gland features, including gland local contrast, length, width, and tortuosity.ResultsA total of 1039 meibography images (including 486 upper and 553 lower eyelids) were used for training and tuning the deep learning model, whereas the remaining 404 images (including 203 upper and 201 lower eyelids) were used for evaluations. The algorithm on average achieved 63% mean intersection over union in segmenting glands, and 84.4% sensitivity and 71.7% specificity in identifying ghost glands. Morphological features of each gland were also fed to a support vector machine for analyzing their associations with ghost glands. Analysis of model coefficients indicated that low gland local contrast was the primary indicator for ghost glands.ConclusionsThe proposed approach can automatically segment individual meibomian glands in infrared meibography images, identify ghost glands, and quantitatively analyze gland morphological features.

Project description:IntroductionInflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, presents significant clinical challenges due to its heterogeneous nature and complex etiology. Recent advancements in biomedical research have enhanced our understanding of IBD's genetic, microbial, and biochemical aspects. However, persistent issues in clinical management, including treatment non-response, surgical interventions, and diagnostic uncertainties, underscore the need for more targeted approaches. This review examines the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and precision medicine (PM) in IBD management. By leveraging AI's capacity to analyze complex, multi-dimensional datasets, this emerging field offers promising applications in improving diagnostic accuracy, predicting treatment responses, and forecasting disease progression, potentially transforming IBD patient care.MethodThe systematic review (SR) was conducted by searching the following databases: PubMed, PubMed PMC, BVS, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, and ProQuest up to February 2024. Studies that employed AI in IBD applied to precision medicine were included.Results139 studies on applying AI in precision medicine for IBD were identified. Most studies (>70%) were published after 2020, indicating a recent surge in interest. The AI applications primarily focused on diagnosis, treatment response prediction, and prognosis. Machine learning algorithms were predominantly used, particularly random forest, logistic regression, and support vector machines. Omics data were frequently employed as predictors, especially transcriptomics and microbiome analyses. Studies demonstrated good predictive performance across all three areas, with median AUC values ranging from 0.85 to 0.90.ConclusionAI applications in IBD show promising potential to enhance clinical practice, particularly in disease prognosis and predicting treatment response. However, clinical implementation requires further validation through prospective studies. Future research should focus on standardizing protocols, defining clinically significant outcomes, and evaluating the efficacy of these tools.
