Imaging Studies II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

241
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Positron Emission Tomography

5.9K
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:

  • Nuclear medicine
  • Radiopharmaceutical imaging
  • Artificial intelligence in medical imaging

Background:

  • Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is overexpressed in prostate cancer and also present in kidney proximal tubules.
  • PSMA PET imaging is being explored for renal functional assessment.
  • Manual kidney segmentation for measuring split renal function (SRF) from PSMA PET is time-consuming and impractical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design, train, and validate an artificial intelligence (AI) model for automatic renal segmentation.
  • To measure SRF using an AI model in [18F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT images.
  • To assess the feasibility and accuracy of AI-driven SRF measurement.

Main Methods:

  • An AI model was developed for automatic segmentation of kidneys in [18F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT images.
  • The AI model was trained on 135 PET/CT studies and validated on 40 independent studies.
  • Measurements of left renal function percentage (LRF%) by the AI model were compared to those of three human readers.

Main Results:

  • AI-driven segmentation and LRF% measurements were performed on 40 test studies.
  • LRF% measurements showed strong correlations (Spearman coefficients 0.98-0.99) with human readers.
  • The maximum difference in LRF% between AI and human measurements was 3 percentage points, indicating high agreement.

Conclusions:

  • Automatic measurement of SRF using PSMA PET is feasible with AI.
  • This AI tool can efficiently provide data for assessing renal functional impairment, particularly in patients treated for prostate cancer.
