An artificial intelligence deep learning model for identification of small bowel obstruction on plain abdominal radiographs.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Small bowel obstruction is a common surgical emergency which can lead to bowel necrosis, perforation and death. Plain abdominal X-rays are frequently used as a first-line test but the availability of immediate expert radiological review is variable. The aim was to investigate the feasibility of using a deep learning model for automated identification of small bowel obstruction.

Methods

A total of 990 plain abdominal radiographs were collected, 445 with normal findings and 445 demonstrating small bowel obstruction. The images were labelled using the radiology reports, subsequent CT scans, surgical operation notes and enhanced radiological review. The data were used to develop a predictive model comprising an ensemble of five convolutional neural networks trained using transfer learning.

Results

The performance of the model was excellent with an area under the receiver operator curve (AUC) of 0.961, corresponding to sensitivity and specificity of 91 and 93% respectively.

Conclusion

Deep learning can be used to identify small bowel obstruction on plain radiographs with a high degree of accuracy. A system such as this could be used to alert clinicians to the presence of urgent findings with the potential for expedited clinical review and improved patient outcomes.

Advances in knowledge

This paper describes a novel labelling method using composite clinical follow-up and demonstrates that ensemble models can be used effectively in medical imaging tasks. It also provides evidence that deep learning methods can be used to identify small bowel obstruction with high accuracy.

Evaluation of abdominal gas by plain abdominal radiographs.

Project description:BackgroundOur aim was to determine the reliability of plain abdominal radiographs for the evaluation of abdominal gas content in patients with functional digestive symptoms.MethodsAbdominal CT scan scout views, mimicking a conventional plain abdominal radiograph, were obtained from 30 patients both during episodes of abdominal distension and basal conditions. Physicians (n = 50) were instructed to rate the estimated volume of gas in the 60 images presented in random sequence using a scale graded from 0 to ≥600 ml.Key resultsThe gas volumes estimated in the scout views differed from those measured by CT by a median of 90 (95% CI 70-102) ml, and the misestimation was not related to the absolute volume in the image. The accuracy of the observers, measured by their mean misestimation, was not related to their specialty or the training status (misestimation by 96 (95% CI 85-104) ml in staff vs 78 (70-106) ml in residents; p = 0.297). The accuracy was independent of the order of presentation of the images. Gas volume measured by CT in the images obtained during episodes of abdominal distension differed by a median of 39 (95% CI 29-66) ml from those during basal conditions, and this difference was misestimated by a median of 107 (95% CI 94-119) ml. The accuracy of these estimations was not related to the absolute gas volumes (R = -0.352; p < 0.001) or the magnitude of the differences.Conclusions & inferencesPlain abdominal radiographs have limited value for the evaluation of abdominal gas volume in patients with functional gut disorders.

Deep transfer learning artificial intelligence accurately stages COVID-19 lung disease severity on portable chest radiographs.

Project description:This study employed deep-learning convolutional neural networks to stage lung disease severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection on portable chest x-ray (CXR) with radiologist score of disease severity as ground truth. This study consisted of 131 portable CXR from 84 COVID-19 patients (51M 55.1±14.9yo; 29F 60.1±14.3yo; 4 missing information). Three expert chest radiologists scored the left and right lung separately based on the degree of opacity (0-3) and geographic extent (0-4). Deep-learning convolutional neural network (CNN) was used to predict lung disease severity scores. Data were split into 80% training and 20% testing datasets. Correlation analysis between AI-predicted versus radiologist scores were analyzed. Comparison was made with traditional and transfer learning. The average opacity score was 2.52 (range: 0-6) with a standard deviation of 0.25 (9.9%) across three readers. The average geographic extent score was 3.42 (range: 0-8) with a standard deviation of 0.57 (16.7%) across three readers. The inter-rater agreement yielded a Fleiss' Kappa of 0.45 for opacity score and 0.71 for extent score. AI-predicted scores strongly correlated with radiologist scores, with the top model yielding a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.90 (range: 0.73-0.90 for traditional learning and 0.83-0.90 for transfer learning) and a mean absolute error of 8.5% (ranges: 17.2-21.0% and 8.5%-15.5, respectively). Transfer learning generally performed better. In conclusion, deep-learning CNN accurately stages disease severity on portable chest x-ray of COVID-19 lung infection. This approach may prove useful to stage lung disease severity, prognosticate, and predict treatment response and survival, thereby informing risk management and resource allocation.

Automatic Knee Osteoarthritis Diagnosis from Plain Radiographs: A Deep Learning-Based Approach.

Project description:Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder. OA diagnosis is currently conducted by assessing symptoms and evaluating plain radiographs, but this process suffers from subjectivity. In this study, we present a new transparent computer-aided diagnosis method based on the Deep Siamese Convolutional Neural Network to automatically score knee OA severity according to the Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale. We trained our method using the data solely from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study and validated it on randomly selected 3,000 subjects (5,960 knees) from Osteoarthritis Initiative dataset. Our method yielded a quadratic Kappa coefficient of 0.83 and average multiclass accuracy of 66.71% compared to the annotations given by a committee of clinical experts. Here, we also report a radiological OA diagnosis area under the ROC curve of 0.93. Besides this, we present attention maps highlighting the radiological features affecting the network decision. Such information makes the decision process transparent for the practitioner, which builds better trust toward automatic methods. We believe that our model is useful for clinical decision making and for OA research; therefore, we openly release our training codes and the data set created in this study.

Artificial intelligence for analyzing orthopedic trauma radiographs.

Project description:Background and purpose - Recent advances in artificial intelligence (deep learning) have shown remarkable performance in classifying non-medical images, and the technology is believed to be the next technological revolution. So far it has never been applied in an orthopedic setting, and in this study we sought to determine the feasibility of using deep learning for skeletal radiographs. Methods - We extracted 256,000 wrist, hand, and ankle radiographs from Danderyd's Hospital and identified 4 classes: fracture, laterality, body part, and exam view. We then selected 5 openly available deep learning networks that were adapted for these images. The most accurate network was benchmarked against a gold standard for fractures. We furthermore compared the network's performance with 2 senior orthopedic surgeons who reviewed images at the same resolution as the network. Results - All networks exhibited an accuracy of at least 90% when identifying laterality, body part, and exam view. The final accuracy for fractures was estimated at 83% for the best performing network. The network performed similarly to senior orthopedic surgeons when presented with images at the same resolution as the network. The 2 reviewer Cohen's kappa under these conditions was 0.76. Interpretation - This study supports the use for orthopedic radiographs of artificial intelligence, which can perform at a human level. While current implementation lacks important features that surgeons require, e.g. risk of dislocation, classifications, measurements, and combining multiple exam views, these problems have technical solutions that are waiting to be implemented for orthopedics.

Project description:BackgroundTo train a machine-learning model to locate the transition zone (TZ) of adhesion-related small bowel obstruction (SBO) on CT scans.Materials and methodsWe used 562 CTs performed in 2005-2018 in 404 patients with adhesion-related SBO. Annotation of the TZs was performed by experienced radiologists and trained residents using bounding boxes. Preprocessing involved using a pretrained model to extract the abdominopelvic region. We modeled TZ localization as a binary classification problem by splitting the abdominopelvic region into 125 patches. We then trained a neural network model to classify each patch as containing or not containing a TZ. We coupled this with a trained probabilistic estimation of presence of a TZ in each patch. The models were first evaluated by computing the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC). Then, to assess the clinical benefit, we measured the proportion of total abdominopelvic volume classified as containing a TZ for several different false-negative rates.ResultsThe probability of containing a TZ was highest for the hypogastric region (56.9%). The coupled classification network and probability mapping produced an AUROC of 0.93. For a 15% proportion of volume classified as containing TZs, the probability of highlighted patches containing a TZ was 92%.ConclusionModeling TZ localization by coupling convolutional neural network classification and probabilistic localization estimation shows the way to a possible automatic TZ detection, a complex radiological task with a major clinical impact.

Application of deep learning algorithm to detect and visualize vertebral fractures on plain frontal radiographs.

Project description:BackgroundIdentification of vertebral fractures (VFs) is critical for effective secondary fracture prevention owing to their association with the increasing risks of future fractures. Plain abdominal frontal radiographs (PARs) are a common investigation method performed for a variety of clinical indications and provide an ideal platform for the opportunistic identification of VF. This study uses a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to identify the feasibility for the screening, detection, and localization of VFs using PARs.MethodsA DCNN was pretrained using ImageNet and retrained with 1306 images from the PARs database obtained between August 2015 and December 2018. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were evaluated. The visualization algorithm gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) was used for model interpretation.ResultsOnly 46.6% (204/438) of the VFs were diagnosed in the original PARs reports. The algorithm achieved 73.59% accuracy, 73.81% sensitivity, 73.02% specificity, and an AUC of 0.72 in the VF identification.ConclusionComputer driven solutions integrated with the DCNN have the potential to identify VFs with good accuracy when used opportunistically on PARs taken for a variety of clinical purposes. The proposed model can help clinicians become more efficient and economical in the current clinical pathway of fragile fracture treatment.

Deep learning classification of shoulder fractures on plain radiographs of the humerus, scapula and clavicle

Project description:In this study, we present a deep learning model for fracture classification on shoulder radiographs using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The primary aim was to evaluate the classification performance of the CNN for proximal humeral fractures (PHF) based on the AO/OTA classification system. Secondary objectives included evaluating the model’s performance for diaphyseal humerus, clavicle, and scapula fractures. The training dataset consisted of 6,172 examinations, including 2–7 radiographs per examination. The overall area under the curve (AUC) for fracture classification was 0.89, indicating good performance. For PHF classification, 12 out of 16 classes achieved an AUC of 0.90 or greater. Additionally, the CNN model had excellent overall AUC for diaphyseal humerus fractures (0.97), clavicle fractures (0.96), and good AUC for scapula fractures (0.87). Despite the limitations of the study, such as the reliance on ground truth labels provided by students with limited radiographic assessment experience, our findings are in concordance with previous studies, further consolidating CNN as potent fracture classifiers in plain radiographs. The inclusion of multiple radiographs with different views from each examination, as well as the generally unselected nature of the sample, contributed to the overall generalizability of the study. This is the fifth study published by our group on AI in orthopaedic radiographs, which has consistently shown promising results. The next challenge for the orthopaedic research community will be to transfer these results from the research setting into clinical practice. External validation of the CNN model should be conducted in the future before it is considered for use in a clinical setting.

Automated bone mineral density prediction and fracture risk assessment using plain radiographs via deep learning.

Project description:Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is underutilized to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and evaluate fracture risk. We present an automated tool to identify fractures, predict BMD, and evaluate fracture risk using plain radiographs. The tool performance is evaluated on 5164 and 18175 patients with pelvis/lumbar spine radiographs and Hologic DXA. The model is well calibrated with minimal bias in the hip (slope = 0.982, calibration-in-the-large = -0.003) and the lumbar spine BMD (slope = 0.978, calibration-in-the-large = 0.003). The area under the precision-recall curve and accuracy are 0.89 and 91.7% for hip osteoporosis, 0.89 and 86.2% for spine osteoporosis, 0.83 and 95.0% for high 10-year major fracture risk, and 0.96 and 90.0% for high hip fracture risk. The tool classifies 5206 (84.8%) patients with 95% positive or negative predictive value for osteoporosis, compared to 3008 DXA conducted at the same study period. This automated tool may help identify high-risk patients for osteoporosis.

Small bowel capsule endoscopy examination and open access database with artificial intelligence: The SEE-artificial intelligence project.

Project description:ObjectivesArtificial intelligence (AI) may be practical for image classification of small bowel capsule endoscopy (CE). However, creating a functional AI model is challenging. We attempted to create a dataset and an object detection CE AI model to explore modeling problems to assist in reading small bowel CE.MethodsWe extracted 18,481 images from 523 small bowel CE procedures performed at Kyushu University Hospital from September 2014 to June 2021. We annotated 12,320 images with 23,033 disease lesions, combined them with 6161 normal images as the dataset, and examined the characteristics. Based on the dataset, we created an object detection AI model using YOLO v5 and we tested validation.ResultsWe annotated the dataset with 12 types of annotations, and multiple annotation types were observed in the same image. We test validated our AI model with 1396 images, and sensitivity for all 12 types of annotations was about 91%, with 1375 true positives, 659 false positives, and 120 false negatives detected. The highest sensitivity for individual annotations was 97%, and the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.98, but the quality of detection varied depending on the specific annotation.ConclusionsObject detection AI model in small bowel CE using YOLO v5 may provide effective and easy-to-understand reading assistance. In this SEE-AI project, we open our dataset, the weights of the AI model, and a demonstration to experience our AI. We look forward to further improving the AI model in the future.

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Ion Channel Bioinformatics.

Project description:Ion channels are linked to important cellular processes. For more than half a century, we have been learning various structural and functional aspects of ion channels using biological, physiological, biochemical, and biophysical principles and techniques. In recent days, bioinformaticians and biophysicists having the necessary expertise and interests in computer science techniques including versatile algorithms have started covering a multitude of physiological aspects including especially evolution, mutations, and genomics of functional channels and channel subunits. In these focused research areas, the use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) algorithms and associated models have been found very popular. With the help of available articles and information, this review provide an introduction to this novel research trend. Ion channel understanding is usually made considering the structural and functional perspectives, gating mechanisms, transport properties, channel protein mutations, etc. Focused research on ion channels and related findings over many decades accumulated huge data which may be utilized in a specialized scientific manner to fast conclude pinpointed aspects of channels. AI, ML, and DL techniques and models may appear as helping tools. This review aims at explaining the ways we may use the bioinformatics techniques and thus draw a few lines across the avenue to let the ion channel features appear clearer.
