Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

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...

Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Background:

Accurate assessment of vascular healing post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) is crucial.
Manual OCT analysis is subjective and time-consuming, necessitating automated solutions.
Neointimal tissue characterization is key for evaluating treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate DeepNeo, a deep learning algorithm for automated segmentation and classification of neointimal tissue in OCT pullbacks.
To compare DeepNeo's performance against manual expert analysis and histopathology.
To assess the algorithm's potential for standardizing vascular healing assessment after PCI.

Main Methods:

A deep learning algorithm, DeepNeo, was trained on 1148 manually annotated OCT frames from 92 pullbacks.
Annotations included classification of neointimal tissue (homogeneous, heterogeneous, neoatherosclerosis) and segmentation of lumen, stent struts, and neointima.
Performance was evaluated using human expert comparisons and in an animal model of neoatherosclerosis with histopathology as the gold standard.

Main Results:

DeepNeo achieved 75% accuracy in classifying neointimal tissue, comparable to human experts (75% and 71%).
In an animal model, DeepNeo demonstrated 87% accuracy against histopathology.
Segmentation performance showed high Dice scores: 0.99 for lumen, 0.66 for stent struts, and 0.86 for neointima.

Conclusions:

DeepNeo is the first deep learning algorithm for fully automated neointimal tissue segmentation and classification in OCT.
The algorithm's performance rivals that of human experts.
DeepNeo offers potential for standardized vascular healing assessment, improved therapeutic decisions, and enhanced cardiac event risk detection.
