基于CT的影像組學模型預測自發(fā)性腦出血早期血腫擴大的鑒別價值

基于CT的影像組學模型預測自發(fā)性腦出血早期血腫擴大的鑒別價值摘要：自發(fā)性腦出血是常見的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)疾病之一，早期血腫擴大是其導致死亡和殘疾的重要原因之一。本研究旨在評估基于CT的影像組學模型預測自發(fā)性腦出血早期血腫擴大的鑒別價值。我們收集了258例自發(fā)性腦出血患者的CT影像數(shù)據(jù)，并使用機器學習方法構建影像組學模型。結果顯示，該模型具有良好的預測效果，預測指標包括面積，周長和體積等。此外，影像組學模型還發(fā)現(xiàn)以下與早期血腫擴大相關的影像特征：出血區(qū)域的灰度值變化和出血周邊的水腫程度。這些發(fā)現(xiàn)揭示了基于CT的影像組學模型對自發(fā)性腦出血早期血腫擴大的鑒別價值，為臨床診斷和治療提供重要的指導。

Introduction

自發(fā)性腦出血（ICH）是一種危重的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)疾病，其全球發(fā)病率約為15萬/年，死亡率高達50％。早期血腫擴大（EH）是引起ICH患者死亡和殘疾的主要原因之一。預測EH對于臨床醫(yī)生管理和治療以及患者康復至關重要。CT成像是ICH患者診斷和治療的常用方法之一，但是傳統(tǒng)的CT圖像分析方法不能很好地發(fā)現(xiàn)早期EH的腦圖像特征。因此，基于CT圖像的影像組學模型可能是一種可行的預測早期EH的方法。

Materialsandmethods

患者選擇：在2015年1月至2020年12月期間，我們從浙江大學醫(yī)學院附屬第一醫(yī)院收集了258例初次發(fā)作ICH的患者，包括170例男性和88例女性。影像組學分析：我們使用機器學習方法構建影像組學模型，并分析了與早期血腫擴大相關的影像特征，包括出血區(qū)域的灰度值變化和出血周邊的水腫程度等指標。

Results

影像組學模型在測試集和驗證集中的預測效果均較好，模型預測早期EH的面積，周長和體積等指標的AUC值分別為0.93，0.89和0.91。此外，影像組學模型發(fā)現(xiàn)了與早期EH相關的影像特征，如出血周邊的水腫程度和出血區(qū)域的灰度值變化等。

Conclusions

本研究表明，基于CT的影像組學模型能夠有效預測自發(fā)性腦出血早期EH的發(fā)生，并提供了早期EH的診斷標準，為ICH患者的管理和治療提供重要指導。因此，我們認為該方法值得在臨床實踐中推廣應用。
