Objective:
Diagnosis of cochlear malformation on temporal bone CT images is often difficult. Our aim was to assess the utility of deep learning analysis in diagnosing cochlear malformation on temporal bone CT images.
Methods:
A total of 654 images from 165 temporal bone CTs were divided into the training set (n = 534) and the testing set (n = 120). A target region that includes the area of the cochlear was extracted to create a diagnostic model. 4 models were used: ResNet10, ResNet50, SE-ResNet50, and DenseNet121. The testing data set was subsequently analyzed using these models and by 4 doctors.
Results:
The areas under the curve was 0.91, 0.94, 0.93, and 0.73 in ResNet10, ResNet50, SE-ResNet50, and DenseNet121. The accuracy of ResNet10, ResNet50, and SE-ResNet50 is better than chief physician.
Conclusions:
Deep learning technique implied a promising prospect for clinical application of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of cochlear malformation based on CT images.
