Description

CTA full-automatic collateral circulation scoring method and system based on deep learning
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of medical image processing, in particular to a CTA full-automatic collateral circulation scoring method and system based on deep learning.
Background
Cerebral stroke is currently the leading cause of acquired disability in patients and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Most cerebral apoplexy is ischemic apoplexy, mainly cerebral infarction, and the cause of the cerebral apoplexy is that intracranial and extracranial vascular atherosclerosis causes vascular stenosis and occlusion to be the most common. Cerebral apoplexy is a common clinical disease, has acute onset and obvious symptoms, and mainly takes paralysis and numbness of limbs as the main manifestations. Many patients, despite normative treatment, have difficulty avoiding more or less sequelae, which is an important threat to human health. The cerebral apoplexy has high treatment cost, very influences the quality of life and brings great economic pressure to patients and society.
In ischemic cerebrovascular disease, arterial blockage can result in reduced perfusion of the blood supply area of the blocked vessel. If the blood flow perfusion rate is less than 10 ml/(100 g.min), the nerve cells are irreversibly damaged within a few minutes. If only a portion of cerebral blood flow (Cerebral Blood Flow, CBF) is reduced, the nerve cells will stop working, but still remain structurally intact, potentially being considered as a rescueable tissue (ischemic penumbra), which makes them the target for thrombolytic therapy. The cerebral collateral circulation refers to the process that when the blood supply artery of the brain is severely stenosed or blocked, blood reaches ischemic tissues through other branch blood vessels, so that the ischemic areas can obtain different degrees of blood perfusion compensation. Studies have shown that patients with good collateral circulation have larger ischemic penumbra, smaller cerebral infarct size, better thrombolysis and retreatment results. Thus, accurate assessment of cerebral collateral circulation is an important condition for the correct treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke (Acute Ischaemic Stroke, AIS).
CT Angiography (CTA) is the most common technique for evaluating the intracranial vascular system, has the advantages of rapid imaging, no trauma, simple post-processing of images, and the like, can clearly determine the specific position of vascular occlusion, and is the preferred imaging examination of emergency patients. With this technique, the passage of contrast agent through the brain can be recorded by acquiring dynamic images. To accurately assess the patient's cerebral collateral circulation, arterial input function (Arterial Input Funct ion, AIF) and venous output function (Venous Output Function, VOF) in CTA images need to be measured, as concentration-Time curves (Area Under the Concentration-Time, AUC) for arterial and venous voxels, respectively, containing 100% blood.
Current research in collateral circulation scoring systems has focused mainly on two areas: a rough visual scoring and a quantified threshold scoring system.
The Alberta cerebral stroke early stage CT score (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, aspcts) is a hierarchical system for evaluating the ischemic change of acute ischemic stroke CT, and can evaluate the early focus of ischemic stroke, which is currently used in a plurality of clinical trials for intravascular mechanical thrombus removal. However, since the ASPECT score is manually determined, the ASPECT score is susceptible to subjective factors of the evaluator.
Maas scoring the diseased side branch vessels were compared to normal side branch vessels based on the CTA original image (CTA-SI) and scored. The scoring method is used for evaluating the presence or absence of collateral blood vessels in the collateral fissure area and the pia mater bulge area and grading. But in fact about one quarter of patients on CTA were unable to measure substantial collateral circulation through collateral and leptomeningeal bulge vessels.
The Tan score is based on the collateral vessel filling condition score of the cerebral middle arterial infarction ischemic area, and the score is: 3 (side branch filling up to 100%), 2 (side branch filling up to 50% -100%), 1 (0 < side branch filling up to < 50%), 0 (no side branch blood supply). The branch circulation is poor in 0-1, and the branch circulation is good in 2-3. The scoring threshold for this score was determined by clinical studies and was only applicable to patients who were either intravenously injected with rt-PA thrombolytic agent or who did not receive thrombolytic therapy. For those patients who use other stroke-in treatment regimens, different thresholds may exist, and thus the scoring system has a limit in terms of repeatability.
Visual scoring systems can be affected by subjective interpretation, resulting in discrepancies between and within observers. The scoring threshold of the scoring system quantifying the evaluation criteria is susceptible to differences between different samples, while the automatic scoring system may facilitate objective and repeatable assessment of brain collateral status through deep learning.
Collateral circulation scoring depends on the difference between the occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (Middle Cerebral Artery, MCA) region and the contralateral arterial tree. Vessel segmentation is thus an essential step in the implementation step. Currently, convolutional neural networks (Convolutional Neural Networks, CNN) exhibit excellent performance in many medical vessel image segmentation tasks, which makes the implementation of fully automatic collateral circulation scoring possible. Based on a deep learning method, the difference between the arterial tree of the affected side and the healthy side is quantified, and the efficacy and the efficiency of the intravascular treatment diagnosis opinion of cerebral apoplexy can be effectively improved.
The current document Su Jiahang, et al, "Automatic Collateral Scoring From 3D CTA Images," IEEE transactions on medical imaging 39.6.6 (2020), wherein Su et al studied this direction and proposed using 3D U-net for vessel segmentation and machine learning classifiers to achieve reasoning about scoring thresholds in the Tan scoring system. However, this approach assumes that the cause of ischemic stroke is a large vascular embolism in the brain hemisphere, and thus the scoring system is not applicable to patients not conforming to this assumption, and the patient population was studied to account for 14-30% of the ischemic stroke population.

Based on the images, the specific numerical values of the blood vessel volume, the weighted volume, the phase-to-phase time ratio of the obtained volume maximum value, the blood vessel flow rate and the like are obtained, and the four ratios of the volumes and the flow rates of the affected side and the non-affected side in each period are calculated to be used as scoring characteristics, so that the problem that the ASPECTS needs to manually obtain the scoring characteristics is solved:
1. volume: the number of blood vessels on the affected side and the non-affected side are obviously different, and the graph H is drawn through secondary therapy on the affected side Y And non-affected side binary pattern H N The vessel volume ratio of each brain region (R1-R8) was obtained and graded. It is assumed that in the unaffected hemisphere the ratio of the volume of the blood vessel (the affected volume divided by the unaffected volume) should be a value between 0 (no blood vessels are visible on the affected side) and 1 (the same number of blood vessels are visible on both sides). Summing the maximum values of the blood vessel volumes of the affected side and the non-affected side, and weighting according to the weight value of the three-level blood vessel partition to obtain r respectively V And r w

Measuring a blood vessel wall thickness scoring characteristic based on a convolutional neural network:
reperfusion is important for survival of ischemic penumbra brain tissue, but reperfusion may induce hemorrhagic transformation. Post-thrombolytic hemorrhagic transformation (Hemorrhagic transformation, HT) refers to hemorrhagic stroke that occurs over a period of time after intravenous thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients. Because the newly built side branch circulation blood vessel wall is not sound in development, the side branch circulation blood vessel wall is impacted by blood to cause bleeding during recanalization. The application measures the thickness of the side branch circulation blood vessel wall through the convolution neural network and takes the thickness as one characteristic of the side branch circulation score.
The network cuts the picture into 16 patches, each patch passes through 5 convolution layers and 1 full connection layer, the full connection layers of each patch are connected and pass through the additional full connection layer, and finally output through the linear activation output layer. All layers except the output layer normalize each batch of data by parameterized modified linear unit (prime lu, parametric Rectified Linear Unit) activation and batch normalization (BN, batch Normalization) and calculate the adaptive learning rate for each parameter using an adaptive moment estimation (Adam) optimizer.
Based on the network, the wall thickness of the blood vessel thinner than the voxels can be accurately measured, thereby realizing the measurement of the wall thickness of the collateral circulation blood vessel, and the thickness is characterized by r s
Multi-label scoring classification model:
using the eigenvector f= [ r ] V ,r w ,r T ,r v ,r s ]As input predictive Tan scores (0, 1,2, 3), four methods for determining score type thresholds are proposed for integrated learning, namely, clinically defined thresholds, support vector classifiers, random forest classifiers and ordered regression classifiers, and threshold screening is performed according to test results of each classifier after training is completed.
1. Clinical definition threshold: the median value of the feature vector f is used as input to determine the classification threshold using a clinical definition of the brain collateral circulation score. The side branch states are ranked according to Tan scoring criteria based on general clinical knowledge and experience in order to provide a reliable side branch scoring reference standard for the present application.
2. Support vector classifier: the median value of the feature vector f is input, and an optimal threshold value of the median value of the feature vector f is determined using a Support Vector Classifier (SVC) with a linear kernel. The feature vector median classification is maximized using the spacing of SVCs. The generalization capability of the learning machine is improved by seeking to minimize the structuring risk, and the minimization of experience risk and confidence range is realized, so that the aim of obtaining good statistical rules under the condition of less statistical sample size is fulfilled.
3. Random forest classifier: random forests are an algorithm that integrates multiple trees through the idea of ensemble learning, which has the advantage of being able to process input samples with high-dimensional features, without dimension reduction, and to evaluate the importance of each feature on classification problems, thus using the complete feature vector f as input.
4. Ordered regression classifier: the feature vector generated by the present application is essentially a sequenced variable, i.e., between a continuous variable and a constant class variable, separated into different classes in relative order at the measurement level, but not continuous. If a multi-classification model is used on the sequencing variables, the inherent ordering of the data may be disregarded, resulting in a loss of ordering information, such that the statistics lose statistical efficiency by missing ordering information. If a common linear regression model is used, then treating the sequenced variables as continuous variables results in artificial information expansion. Thus, for sequencing variables, a corresponding model needs to be employed to fit the two-way nature of the sequencing variables, the most common approach being an ordered regression model. Ordered classification predictions are thus made with ordered regression of the input complete feature vectors.
The embodiment of the application provides a deep learning-based CTA full-automatic collateral circulation scoring method, wherein brain functional areas are divided, different areas are weighted, a collateral circulation blood vessel grading mechanism based on a blood flow compensation way is realized, and the segmentation precision of small blood vessels is improved; meanwhile, the blood vessel volume, the weighted volume and the blood vessel flow velocity are taken as characteristics to obtain the volume and flow velocity ratio of the affected side to the healthy side in each period, so that the scoring strategy has wider application range and more objective evaluation threshold.
