从胸部X光片计算心胸比率的深度学习模型,以辅助诊断心脏肿大
我们提出了一种基于深度学习的自动方法,可计算心胸比并从胸部X光片中检测是否存在心脏肿大。我们开发了两个单独的模型,以使用边界框在X射线图像中划定心脏和胸部区域,并使用它们的输出来计算心胸比。..
Deep Learning Models for Calculation of Cardiothoracic Ratio from Chest Radiographs for Assisted Diagnosis of Cardiomegaly
We propose an automated method based on deep learning to compute the cardiothoracic ratio and detect the presence of cardiomegaly from chest radiographs. We develop two separate models to demarcate the heart and chest regions in an X-ray image using bounding boxes and use their outputs to calculate the cardiothoracic ratio.We obtain a sensitivity of 0.96 at a specificity of 0.81 with a mean absolute error of 0.0209 on a held-out test dataset and a sensitivity of 0.84 at a specificity of 0.97 with a mean absolute error of 0.018 on an independent dataset from a different hospital. We also compare three different segmentation model architectures for the proposed method and observe that Attention U-Net yields better results than SE-Resnext U-Net and EfficientNet U-Net. By providing a numeric measurement of the cardiothoracic ratio, we hope to mitigate human subjectivity arising out of visual assessment in the detection of cardiomegaly.
