Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) is a severe complication of advanced cancer.
  • Early diagnosis of MESCC is crucial for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.
  • Current diagnostic methods may have limitations in speed and accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate deep learning (DL) models for automatic MESCC classification using staging CT images.
  • To compare the diagnostic performance of DL models against human radiologists.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 444 CT staging studies from 185 patients with suspected MESCC.
  • DL models were trained and validated on a dataset of CT studies, with MRI as the reference standard.
  • The performance of DL models was compared to four radiologists on a separate test set.

Main Results:

  • DL models demonstrated almost-perfect interobserver agreement (κ = 0.873–0.911) for classifying MESCC.
  • DL models showed superior or comparable interobserver agreement to radiologists (κ = 0.726–0.820).

Conclusions:

  • DL models offer a reliable tool for MESCC classification on CT scans.
  • These models can potentially aid in the earlier diagnosis of MESCC, improving patient management.
