Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

89
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Aortic Regurgitation II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

71
Aortic valve regurgitation (AR) occurs when the aortic valve fails to close properly, allowing blood to flow backward from the aorta into the left ventricle. This backflow can result in two distinct clinical presentations: acute and chronic AR, each characterized by its own set of symptoms and physical findings.Acute Aortic RegurgitationAcute AR presents with a sudden onset of severe symptoms. Patients typically experience profound dyspnea (shortness of breath), chest pain, and signs of left...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

148
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate aortic root assessment is critical for successful transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
  • Pre-interventional computed tomography (CT) scans provide essential anatomical data, including aortic annulus diameter.
  • Automated methods for extracting these measurements can improve efficiency and reproducibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a neural network-based approach for segmenting the aortic root.
  • To enable accurate measurement of aortic annulus diameter for TAVI prosthesis selection.
  • To investigate the feasibility of using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automated aortic root analysis.

Main Methods:

  • A cascade of CNNs was employed to segment the aortic root, valve, and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) from CT scans.
  • Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to determine aortic annulus orientation.
  • Area-derived annulus diameter was calculated based on segmentation and PCA-derived orientation.

Main Results:

  • The CNN segmentation achieved an F1 score of 0.94 for the aorta and valve.
  • The automated method determined the area-derived annulus diameter with a mean error below 2 mm compared to expert annotations.
  • Performance was comparable to existing alternative approaches.

Conclusions:

  • The cascaded neural network approach effectively assesses the aortic root using a limited training dataset.
  • This method provides time-efficient (30 s/patient) and reproducible measurements.
  • Further improvements in robustness and applicability can be achieved with larger, diverse training datasets.
