Abstract
Purpose: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is the most common orbital disease in adults. Ocular motility restriction is the primary complaint of patients, while its evaluation is quite difficult. The present study aimed to introduce an artificial intelligence (AI) model based on orbital computed tomography (CT) images for ocular motility score.
Methods: A total of 410 sets of CT images and clinical data were obtained from the hospital. To build a triple classification predictive model for ocular motility score, multiple deep learning models were employed to extract features of images and clinical data. Subgroup analyses based on pertinent clinical features were performed to test the efficacy of models.
Results: The ResNet-34 network outperformed Alex-Net and VGG16-Net in prediction of ocular motility score, with the optimal accuracy (ACC) of 0.907, 0.870, and 0.890, respectively. Subgroup analyses indicated no significant difference in ACC between active or inactive phase, functional visual field diplopia or peripheral visual field diplopia (p > 0.05). However, in the gender subgroup, the prediction model performed more accurately in female patients than males (p = 0.02).
Conclusion: In conclusion, the AI model based on CT images and clinical data successfully realized automatic scoring of ocular motility in TED patients. This approach potentially enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of ocular motility evaluation, thus facilitating clinical application.
期刊介绍:
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
