摘要:

研究背景 胶质瘤疾病负担较重,尽早确诊和及时治疗可有效延长无进展生存期,临床实践中初诊疑似胶质瘤时首选头部MRI检查,人工阅片存在诊断结果不一致和阅片效率下降的缺陷,而通过深度学习算法进行医学影像识别与诊断成为可能。本研究采用人工神经网络相关机器学习算法,辅助影像科医师对胶质瘤患者头部MRI图像的人工阅片,以期改善人工阅片耗时、费力以及因主观判断导致阅片结果不同的缺陷。方法 纳入TCIA数据库中130例成年胶质瘤患者计40 036张头部MRI图像,随机分为训练集(28 025张)和测试集(12 011张),再根据医学专家的标注定义为“肿瘤影像”和“正常影像”,采用ZFNet模型进行图像识别与分类模型的建立,绘制训练集的强化学习曲线,观察训练准确度随训练步数变化的趋势。将测试集导入模型,计算ZFNet模型预测“肿瘤影像”的分类准确率、阳性预测值、灵敏度、特异度和F1值。同时进行AlexNet模型对比建模,与ZFNet模型结果进行比较。结果 ZFNet模型在训练38 757步后训练准确度稳定为99.7%,AlexNet模型则在训练37 984步后稳定为98.23%;将测试集导入ZFNet模型,ZFNet模型预测“肿瘤影像”的准确度为84.42%(10 140/12 011)、阳性预测值为80.77%(4817/5964)、灵敏度为86.93%(4817/5541)、特异度为82.27%(5323/6470)、F1值为83.74%,AlexNet模型为80.74%(9698/12 011)、77.68%(4529/5830)、81.74%(4529/5541)、79.89%(5169/6470)和79.66%,ZFNet模型在各个维度的分类性能均优于AlexNet模型,效果满意。结论 ZFNet模型在胶质瘤患者头部MRI图像分类预测方面的效果尚佳,可为建立胶质瘤影像学辅助诊断模型提供良好的技术支持。

Abstract:

Background Glioma is a kind of intracranial space-occupying lesion, which causes heavy disease burden. For glioma patients, early accurate diagnosis and early treatment could effectively prolong the progression free survival. Suspected glioma patients would be firstly examined by MRI for diagnosis. The MRI images were mainly read by radiologists artificially. The diagnosis by different radiologists might be different, and the heavy workload might cause a decline in reading efficiency. In recent years, it is becoming possible to use deep learning technology for medical image recognition and diagnosis. This study used machine learning algorithms related to artificial neural network (ANN) to assist image practitioner in reading the head MRI images of patients with glioma, which may cause labor-saving, and could increase the efficiency of reading images and reduce the different results cause by different personal experiencse. Methods These images were from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) database. Format of these images was DICOM. And they were from 130 adult glioma cases, a total of 40 036 copies. These images were randomly split as training set (28 025 copies) and test set (12 011 copies). Then in each set, images were split as "tumor image" and "normal image" according to medical experts' annotation. ZFNet model, a type of convolutional neural network, was used to build image recognition and classification model. The reinforcement learning curve was draw to observe the trend of accuracy of training changed with the training steps. Put the test set into the model, the overall classification accuracy of all MRI images, the positive predictive value, sensitivity, specificity and F1-measure of the tumor images were calculated. At the same time, AlexNet was also used to build a same model to compare with the ZFNet model by the prediction indexes of the classification ability of MRI images (the prediction ability of diagnosis of glioma). Results The training accuracy of ZFNet model was 99.7% after 38 757 steps and of the AlexNet model was 98.23% after 37 984 steps. After testing, the image prediction accuracy of all MRI images of ZFNet model was 84.42% (10 140/12 011), the positive predictive value of prediction of "tumor image" was 80.77% (4817/5964), the sensitivity was 86.93% (4817/5541), the specificity was 82.27% (5323/6470), and the F1-measure was 83.74%. The above indexes of AlexNet model were 80.74% (9698/12 011), 77.68% (4529/5830), 81.74% (4529/5541), 79.89% (5169/6470) and 79.66%, respectively. The classification performances of ZFNet model were satisfied and were superior to AlexNet model in each dimension. Conclusions ZFNet model has a good prediction performance ability in glioma brain MRI image classification, and it is able to provide a good technical support for establishing a glioma image aided diagnosis model.
