Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

62
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

146
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Cardiology
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging

Background:

  • CT-based attenuation correction (AC) improves myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) SPECT diagnostic accuracy.
  • Existing CT-AC methods are not widely available, increase radiation, and are prone to misregistration.
  • There is a need for CT-free AC methods in MPI SPECT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a deep learning model (DeepAC) for generating simulated AC SPECT images from non-AC (NC) SPECT.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of DeepAC for obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • To compare DeepAC performance against NC and CT-based AC.

Main Methods:

  • A conditional generative adversarial neural network (DeepAC) was developed to simulate AC images from NC SPECT data.
  • The model was trained on 4,886 NC/AC SPECT studies and validated on 604 external patient studies.
  • Diagnostic accuracy for obstructive CAD was assessed using the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for total perfusion deficit (TPD).

Main Results:

  • DeepAC images were generated in under 1 second.
  • DeepAC TPD showed higher AUC for obstructive CAD (0.79) compared to NC TPD (0.70, P < 0.001), and was similar to AC TPD (0.81).
  • DeepAC improved normalcy rates in low-CAD-likelihood patients (70.4%) compared to NC TPD (54.6%, P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • DeepAC significantly improves diagnostic accuracy for obstructive CAD compared to NC SPECT, achieving accuracy comparable to CT-AC.
  • DeepAC obviates the need for CT, reducing radiation exposure and eliminating misregistration artifacts.
  • DeepAC offers a rapid, CT-free solution for enhanced MPI SPECT analysis.
