Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.4K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Ultrasonography

4.4K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Urology

Background:

  • Urolithiasis diagnosis relies on computed tomography (CT) scans.
  • Accurate stone parameter calculation (volume, density) is crucial for treatment decisions.
  • Current diagnostic methods can be time-consuming for emergency room (ER) scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system for urolithiasis detection in CT images.
  • To enable real-time calculation of stone parameters (volume, density) using deep learning.
  • To compare the AI system's performance against urologists in ER settings.

Main Methods:

  • A deep learning model (YOLOv4 architecture) was trained on 39,433 axial CT images.
  • The dataset was split into training (70%), internal validation (10%), and testing (20%) sets.
  • External validation was conducted on 100 ER CT images using a graphics processing unit (GPU).

Main Results:

  • The AI system achieved 95% accuracy on the validation set and 94% accuracy on external ER validation.
  • The system demonstrated high speed, analyzing 150 CT images in 13 seconds, significantly faster than human specialists.
  • Real-time stone volume calculation by AI took 0.2 seconds, compared to 77 seconds for urologists.

Conclusions:

  • The developed AI system offers accurate (94%) and rapid detection of urolithiasis in clinical settings.
  • The AI system demonstrates potential for improving diagnostic efficiency in ER environments.
  • Advanced deep learning on consumer-grade GPUs can facilitate quick urolithiasis diagnosis.
