RESUMO
PURPOSE: The purpose of our study is to develop deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for detecting hip fractures using CT and MRI as a gold standard, and to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 7 readers with and without DCNN. METHODS: The study population consisted of 327 patients who underwent pelvic CT or MRI and were diagnosed with proximal femoral fractures. All radiographs were manually checked and annotated by radiologists referring to CT and MRI for selecting ROI. At first, a DCNN with the GoogLeNet model was trained by 302 cases. The remaining 25 cases and 25 control subjects were used for the observer performance study and for the testing of DCNN. Seven readers took part in this study. A continuous rating scale was used to record each observer's confidence level. Subsequently, each observer interpreted with the DCNN outputs and rated them again. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to compare the fracture detection. RESULTS: The average AUC of the 7 readers was 0.832. The AUC of DCNN alone was 0.905. The average AUC of the 7 readers with DCNN outputs was 0.876. The AUC of readers with DCNN output were higher than those without(pâ¯<â¯0.05). The AUC of the 2 experienced readers with DCNN output exceeded the AUC of DCNN alone. CONCLUSION: For detecting the hip fractures on radiographs, DCNN developed using CT and MRI as a gold standard by radiologists improved the diagnostic performance including the experienced readers.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the usefulness of the CT temporal subtraction (TS) method for the detection of the lung cancer with predominant ground-glass opacity (LC-pGGO). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-five pairs of CT and their TS images in patients with LC-pGGO (31 lesions) and 25 pairs of those in patients without nodules were used for an observer performance study. Eight radiologists participated and the statistical significance of differences with and without the CT-TS was assessed by JAFROC analysis. RESULTS: The average figure-of-merit (FOM) values for all radiologists increased to a statistically significant degree, from 0.861 without CT-TS to 0.912 with CT-TS (p < .001). The average sensitivity for detecting the actionable lesions improved from 73.4 % to 85.9 % using CT-TS. The reading time with CT-TS was not significantly different from that without. CONCLUSION: The use of CT-TS improves the observer performance for the detection of LC-pGGO. KEY POINTS: ⢠CT temporal subtraction can improve the detection accuracy of lung cancer. ⢠Reading time with temporal subtraction is not different from that without. ⢠CT temporal subtraction improves observer performance for ground-glass/subsolid nodule detection.
