A better method for the dynamic, precise estimating of blood/haemoglobin loss based on deep learning of artificial intelligence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dynamic and precise estimation of blood loss (EBL) is quite important for perioperative management. To date, the Triton System, based on feature extraction technology (FET), has been applied to estimate intra-operative haemoglobin (Hb) loss but is unable to directly assess the amount of blood loss. We aimed to develop a method for the dynamic and precise EBL and estimate Hb loss (EHL) based on artificial intelligence (AI).

Methods

We collected surgical patients' non-recycled blood to generate blood-soaked sponges at a set gradient of volume. After image acquisition and preprocessing, FET and densely connected convolutional networks (DenseNet) were applied for EBL and EHL. The accuracy was evaluated using R2, the mean absolute error (MAE), the mean square error (MSE), and the Bland-Altman analysis.

Results

For EBL, the R2, MAE and MSE for the method based on DenseNet were 0.966 (95% CI: 0.962-0.971), 0.186 (95% CI: 0.167-0.207) and 0.096 (95% CI: 0.084-0.109), respectively. For EHL, the R2, MAE and MSE for the method based on DenseNet were 0.941 (95% CI: 0.934-0.948), 0.325 (95% CI: 0.293-0.355) and 0.284 (95% CI: 0.251-0.317), respectively. The accuracies of EBL and EHL based on DenseNet were more satisfactory than that of FET. Bland-Altman analysis revealed a bias of 0.02 ml with narrow limits of agreement (LOA) (-0.47 to 0.52 mL) and of 0.05 g with narrow LOA (-0.87 to 0.97 g) between the methods based on DenseNet and actual blood loss and Hb loss.

Conclusions

We developed a simpler and more accurate AI-based method for EBL and EHL, which may be more fit for surgeries primarily using sponges and with a small to medium amount of blood loss.

Project description:Introduction[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) brain PET is used clinically to detect small areas of decreased uptake associated with epileptogenic lesions, e.g., Focal Cortical Dysplasias (FCD) but its performance is limited due to spatial resolution and low contrast. We aimed to develop a deep learning-based PET image enhancement method using simulated PET to improve lesion visualization.MethodsWe created 210 numerical brain phantoms (MRI segmented into 9 regions) and assigned 10 different plausible activity values (e.g., GM/WM ratios) resulting in 2100 ground truth high quality (GT-HQ) PET phantoms. With a validated Monte-Carlo PET simulator, we then created 2100 simulated standard quality (S-SQ) [18F]FDG scans. We trained a ResNet on 80% of this dataset (10% used for validation) to learn the mapping between S-SQ and GT-HQ PET, outputting a predicted HQ (P-HQ) PET. For the remaining 10%, we assessed Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) against GT-HQ PET. For GM and WM, we computed recovery coefficients (RC) and coefficient of variation (COV). We also created lesioned GT-HQ phantoms, S-SQ PET and P-HQ PET with simulated small hypometabolic lesions characteristic of FCDs. We evaluated lesion detectability on S-SQ and P-HQ PET both visually and measuring the Relative Lesion Activity (RLA, measured activity in the reduced-activity ROI over the standard-activity ROI). Lastly, we applied our previously trained ResNet on 10 clinical epilepsy PETs to predict the corresponding HQ-PET and assessed image quality and confidence metrics.ResultsCompared to S-SQ PET, P-HQ PET improved PNSR, SSIM and RMSE; significatively improved GM RCs (from 0.29 ± 0.03 to 0.79 ± 0.04) and WM RCs (from 0.49 ± 0.03 to 1 ± 0.05); mean COVs were not statistically different. Visual lesion detection improved from 38 to 75%, with average RLA decreasing from 0.83 ± 0.08 to 0.67 ± 0.14. Visual quality of P-HQ clinical PET improved as well as reader confidence.ConclusionP-HQ PET showed improved image quality compared to S-SQ PET across several objective quantitative metrics and increased detectability of simulated lesions. In addition, the model generalized to clinical data. Further evaluation is required to study generalization of our method and to assess clinical performance in larger cohorts.
