Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

948
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Summary

An automated system, autoscoRA, accurately scores rheumatoid arthritis joint damage on radiographs. This deep learning tool aids in assessing joint space narrowing and bone erosion, improving upon manual scoring methods.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Conventional radiography is crucial for assessing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) joint damage.
  • Current scoring systems like Sharp/van der Heijde (SvdH) are time-consuming and prone to variability.
  • There is a need for automated, reliable methods for quantifying RA radiographic damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate autoscoRA, a fully automated deep learning system for scoring radiographic joint damage in RA.
  • To assess the performance of autoscoRA in quantifying joint space narrowing and bone erosion.

Main Methods:

  • A deep learning model, autoscoRA, was trained on the largest available dataset of adult RA patients.
  • The system automatically performs joint extraction and scoring of joint space narrowing and bone erosion from hand and foot radiographs.
  • The model's performance was evaluated against human scorers using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and agreement metrics.

Main Results:

  • autoscoRA achieved excellent agreement (ICC 0.9) with human scorers for joint space narrowing, erosion, and total SvdH scores.
  • The automated system outperformed a human scorer in agreement with a reference reader on a subset of data.
  • autoscoRA demonstrated good agreement (70%) in detecting longitudinal progression of joint damage.

Conclusions:

  • Automated scoring systems like autoscoRA can significantly streamline the assessment of radiographic joint damage in RA.
  • autoscoRA shows potential for facilitating scoring in clinical trials, registries, and observational studies.
  • The technology may eventually be integrated into routine clinical care for RA management.
