[PMID: 37951778 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.10.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a deep learning (DL) model for segmentation of the suprapatellar capsule (SC) and infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) based on sagittal proton density-weighted images and to distinguish between three common types of knee synovitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 376 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed knee synovitis (rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, and pigmented villonodular synovitis) from two institutions. A semantic segmentation model was trained on manually annotated sagittal proton density-weighted images. The segmentation results of the regions of interest and patients' sex and age were used to classify knee synovitis after feature processing. Classification by the DL method was compared to the classification performed by radiologists. RESULTS Data of the 376 patients (mean age, 42 ± 15 years; 216 men) were separated into a training set (n = 233), an internal test set (n = 93), and an external test set (n = 50). The automated segmentation model showed good performance (mean accuracy: 0.99 and 0.99 in the internal and external test sets). On the internal test set, the DL model performed better than the senior radiologist (accuracy: 0.86 vs. 0.79; area under the curve [AUC]: 0.83 vs. 0.79). On the external test set, the DL diagnostic model based on automatic segmentation performed as well or better than senior and junior radiologists (accuracy: 0.79 vs. 0.79 vs. 0.73; AUC: 0.76 vs. 0.77 vs. 0.70). CONCLUSION DL models for segmentation of SC and IPFD can accurately classify knee synovitis and aid radiologic diagnosis.

Lightweight Attentive Graph Neural Network with Conditional Random Field for Diagnosis of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear. JOURNAL OF IMAGING INFORMATICS IN MEDICINE 2024; 37:688-705. [PMID: 38343260 PMCID: PMC11031558 DOI: 10.1007/s10278-023-00944-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are prevalent orthopedic sports injuries and are difficult to precisely classify. Previous works have demonstrated the ability of deep learning (DL) to provide support for clinicians in ACL tear classification scenarios, but it requires a large quantity of labeled samples and incurs a high computational expense. This study aims to overcome the challenges brought by small and imbalanced data and achieve fast and accurate ACL tear classification based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee. We propose a lightweight attentive graph neural network (GNN) with a conditional random field (CRF), named the ACGNN, to classify ACL ruptures in knee MR images. A metric-based meta-learning strategy is introduced to conduct independent testing through multiple node classification tasks. We design a lightweight feature embedding network using a feature-based knowledge distillation method to extract features from the given images. Then, GNN layers are used to find the dependencies between samples and complete the classification process. The CRF is incorporated into each GNN layer to refine the affinities. To mitigate oversmoothing and overfitting issues, we apply self-boosting attention, node attention, and memory attention for graph initialization, node updating, and correlation across graph layers, respectively. Experiments demonstrated that our model provided excellent performance on both oblique coronal data and sagittal data with accuracies of 92.94% and 91.92%, respectively. Notably, our proposed method exhibited comparable performance to that of orthopedic surgeons during an internal clinical validation. This work shows the potential of our method to advance ACL diagnosis and facilitates the development of computer-aided diagnosis methods for use in clinical practice.

[PMID: 38138930 PMCID: PMC10744730 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13121703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Machine learning and digital health sensing data have led to numerous research achievements aimed at improving digital health technology. However, using machine learning in digital health poses challenges related to data availability, such as incomplete, unstructured, and fragmented data, as well as issues related to data privacy, security, and data format standardization. Furthermore, there is a risk of bias and discrimination in machine learning models. Thus, developing an accurate prediction model from scratch can be an expensive and complicated task that often requires extensive experiments and complex computations. Transfer learning methods have emerged as a feasible solution to address these issues by transferring knowledge from a previously trained task to develop high-performance prediction models for a new task. This survey paper provides a comprehensive study of the effectiveness of transfer learning for digital health applications to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of diagnoses and prognoses, as well as to improve healthcare services. The first part of this survey paper presents and discusses the most common digital health sensing technologies as valuable data resources for machine learning applications, including transfer learning. The second part discusses the meaning of transfer learning, clarifying the categories and types of knowledge transfer. It also explains transfer learning methods and strategies, and their role in addressing the challenges in developing accurate machine learning models, specifically on digital health sensing data. These methods include feature extraction, fine-tuning, domain adaptation, multitask learning, federated learning, and few-/single-/zero-shot learning. This survey paper highlights the key features of each transfer learning method and strategy, and discusses the limitations and challenges of using transfer learning for digital health applications. Overall, this paper is a comprehensive survey of transfer learning methods on digital health sensing data which aims to inspire researchers to gain knowledge of transfer learning approaches and their applications in digital health, enhance the current transfer learning approaches in digital health, develop new transfer learning strategies to overcome the current limitations, and apply them to a variety of digital health technologies.

Resource efficient aortic distensibility calculation by end to end spatiotemporal learning of aortic lumen from multicentre multivendor multidisease CMR images. Sci Rep 2023; 13:21794. [PMID: 38066222 PMCID: PMC10709583 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-48986-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Aortic distensibility (AD) is important for the prognosis of multiple cardiovascular diseases. We propose a novel resource-efficient deep learning (DL) model, inspired by the bi-directional ConvLSTM U-Net with densely connected convolutions, to perform end-to-end hierarchical learning of the aorta from cine cardiovascular MRI towards streamlining AD quantification. Unlike current DL aortic segmentation approaches, our pipeline: (i) performs simultaneous spatio-temporal learning of the video input, (ii) combines the feature maps from the encoder and decoder using non-linear functions, and (iii) takes into account the high class imbalance. By using multi-centre multi-vendor data from a highly heterogeneous patient cohort, we demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art method in terms of accuracy and at the same time it consumes [Formula: see text] 3.9 times less fuel and generates [Formula: see text] 2.8 less carbon emissions. Our model could provide a valuable tool for exploring genome-wide associations of the AD with the cognitive performance in large-scale biomedical databases. By making energy usage and carbon emissions explicit, the presented work aligns with efforts to keep DL's energy requirements and carbon cost in check. The improved resource efficiency of our pipeline might open up the more systematic DL-powered evaluation of the MRI-derived aortic stiffness.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of using a deep learning (DL) model to generate fat-suppression images and detect abnormalities on knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) through the fat-suppression image-subtraction method. Material and methods A total of 45 knee MRI studies in patients with knee disorders and 12 knee MRI studies in healthy volunteers were enrolled. The DL model was developed using 2-dimensional convolutional neural networks for generating fat-suppression images and subtracting generated fat-suppression images without any abnormal findings from those with normal/abnormal findings and detecting/classifying abnormalities on knee MRI. The image qualities of the generated fat-suppression images and subtraction-images were assessed. The accuracy, average precision, average recall, F-measure, sensitivity, and area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC) of DL for each abnormality were calculated. Results A total of 2472 image datasets, each consisting of one slice of original T1WI, original intermediate-weighted images, generated fat-suppression (FS)-intermediate-weighted images without any abnormal findings, generated FS-intermediate-weighted images with normal/abnormal findings, and subtraction images between the generated FS-intermediate-weighted images at the same cross-section, were created. The generated fat-suppression images were of adequate image quality. Of the 2472 subtraction-images, 2203 (89.1%) were judged to be of adequate image quality. The accuracies for overall abnormalities, anterior cruciate ligament, bone marrow, cartilage, meniscus, and others were 89.5-95.1%. The average precision, average recall, and F-measure were 73.4-90.6%, 77.5-89.4%, and 78.4-89.4%, respectively. The sensitivity was 57.4-90.5%. The AUROCs were 0.910-0.979. Conclusions The DL model was able to generate fat-suppression images of sufficient quality to detect abnormalities on knee MRI through the fat-suppression image-subtraction method.

Abstract
The continual improvement in the field of medical diagnosis has led to the monopoly of using deep learning (DL)-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis of knee injury related to meniscal injury, ligament injury including the cruciate ligaments, collateral ligaments and medial patella-femoral ligament, and cartilage injury. The present systematic review was done by PubMed and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), wherein we finalised 24 studies conducted on the accuracy of DL MRI studies for knee injury identification. The studies showed an accuracy of 72.5% to 100% indicating that DL MRI holds an equivalent performance as humans in decision-making and management of knee injuries. This further opens up future exploration for improving MRI-based diagnosis keeping in mind the limitations of verification bias and data imbalance in ground truth subjectivity.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a powerful tool for the evaluation and monitoring of OA due to its ability to visualize soft tissues and bone with high resolution. This review aims to provide an overview of the current state of MRI in OA, with a special focus on the knee, including protocol recommendations for clinical and research settings. Furthermore, new developments in the field of musculoskeletal MRI are highlighted in this review. These include compositional MRI techniques, such as T2 mapping and T1rho imaging, which can provide additional important information about the biochemical composition of cartilage and other joint tissues. In addition, this review discusses semiquantitative joint assessment based on MRI findings, which is a widely used method for evaluating OA severity and progression in the knee. We analyze the most common scoring methods and discuss potential benefits. Techniques to reduce acquisition times and the potential impact of deep learning in MR imaging for OA are also discussed, as these technological advances may impact clinical routine in the future.

Abstract
Modern lifestyles require new tools for determining a person's ability to return to daily activities after knee surgery. These quantitative instruments must feature high discrimination, be non-invasive, and be inexpensive. Machine learning is a revolutionary approach that has the potential to satisfy the aforementioned requirements and bridge the knowledge gap. The scope of this study is to summarize the results of a systematic literature review on the identification of gait-related changes and the determination of the functional recovery status of patients after knee surgery using advanced machine learning algorithms. The current systematic review was conducted using multiple databases in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, including Scopus, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar. Six out of the 405 articles met our inclusion criteria and were directly related to the quantification of the recovery status using machine learning and gait data. The results were interpreted using appropriate metrics. The results demonstrated a recent increase in the use of sophisticated machine learning techniques that can provide robust decision-making support during personalized post-treatment interventions for knee-surgery patients.

Artificial Intelligence in Orthopedic Radiography Analysis: A Narrative Review. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12092235. [PMID: 36140636 PMCID: PMC9498096 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12092235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is a rapidly growing field. In orthopedics, the clinical implementations of AI have not yet reached their full potential. Deep learning algorithms have shown promising results in computed radiographs for fracture detection, classification of OA, bone age, as well as automated measurements of the lower extremities. Studies investigating the performance of AI compared to trained human readers often show equal or better results, although human validation is indispensable at the current standards. The objective of this narrative review is to give an overview of AI in medicine and summarize the current applications of AI in orthopedic radiography imaging. Due to the different AI software and study design, it is difficult to find a clear structure in this field. To produce more homogeneous studies, open-source access to AI software codes and a consensus on study design should be aimed for.
