ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Medical screening using ultrasonography (US) has been performed on young baseball players for early detection of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral capitellum. Deep learning (DL) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are widely adopted in the medical imaging research field. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS:
The purpose of this study was to calculate the diagnostic accuracy using DL for US images of OCD. We hypothesized that using DL for US imaging would improve the prediction accuracy of OCD. STUDYDESIGN:
Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2.METHODS:
A total of 40 elbows (mean age of patients, 12.1 years) that were suspected of having OCD at a medical checkup and later confirmed by radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging were included in the study. The affected elbows were used as the OCD group and the contralateral elbows as the control group. From US videos, 100 images per elbow were captured from different angles, and 4000 images of the elbows were prepared for both groups. Of these, 80% were randomly selected by DL models and used as training data; the remaining were used as test data. Transfer learning was conducted using 3 pretrained DL models. The confusion matrix and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the model, and the visualization of the areas deemed important by the DL models was also performed. Furthermore, OCD regions were detected using an automatic image recognition model based on DL.RESULTS:
Classification of the OCD image by the DL model was performed; the best accuracy score was 0.87; the recall was 1.00. AUC was high for all DL models. Visualization of important features showed that AI predicted the presence of OCD by focusing on the irregularity or discontinuity of the surface of subchondral bone. In the detection of OCD task, the mean average precision was 0.83.CONCLUSION:
The DL on US images identified OCD with high accuracy. The important features detected by the DL models correspond to the areas used by clinicians in screening the US images. The OCD was also detected with high accuracy using the object detection model. The AI model may be used in medical screening for OCD.Palavras-chave
