Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

92
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...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

4.2K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology and Medical Imaging
  • Computational Linguistics
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Radiological reports require accuracy for clinical staging, particularly in pulmonary oncology.
  • Natural language processing (NLP) can structure free-text reports, aiding tumor staging.
  • The Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) classification system is crucial for cancer staging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a new TN-PET-CT algorithm integrating metabolic activity into an NLP approach for tumor staging.
  • To assess the algorithm's capability in staging chest CT and PET-CT scans.
  • To perform external validation of a prior TN-CT algorithm.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a TN-PET-CT algorithm by enhancing an existing TN-CT NLP algorithm with metabolic activity data.
  • Utilizing pyContextNLP, SpaCy, and regular expressions for information extraction and matching.
  • Conducting subgroup analysis for external validation of the TN-CT algorithm.

Main Results:

  • The TN-PET-CT algorithm achieved an overall TN accuracy of 0.73 in the training set and 0.62 in the validation set.
  • External validation of the TN-CT classifier yielded an accuracy of 0.72.
  • The study demonstrated the feasibility of adapting the TN-CT algorithm to TN-PET-CT.

Conclusions:

  • The TN-PET-CT algorithm can be developed by adjusting the TN-CT algorithm.
  • Algorithm performance is significantly influenced by report accuracy, vocabulary, and contextual expression of uncertainty.
  • The findings are applicable to both the adjusted PET-CT algorithm and the CT algorithm in different hospital settings.
