Purpose

To build and validate a combined radiomics and machine learning (ML) approach using B-mode US and SWE images to differentiate benign from malignant solid breast lesions (BLs) and compare its performance with that of an expert radiologist.

Methods

Patients with at least one BI-RADS 2–6 BL who performed breast US integrated with SWE were retrospectively included. B-mode US and SWE images were manually segmented to extract radiomics features. A multi-step feature selection process was performed and a predictive model built using the Logistic Regression algorithm. The diagnostic accuracy was evaluated with the AUC and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) metrics. The performance of the ML classifier was compared to that of an expert radiologist.

Results

427 Bls were included and divided into a training (286 BLs, of which 127 benign and 159 malignant) and a test set (141 BLs, of which 59 benign and 82 malignant). Of 1098 features extracted from B-mode US and SWE images, 13 were finally selected. The ML classifier showed an AUC of 0.768 and 0.746, and an MCC of 0.403 and 0.423 in the training and test sets, respectively. The performance was higher than that of the expert radiologist assessing only B-mode US images, but significantly lower when SWE images were also provided.

Conclusion

A ML approach based on B-mode US and SWE images may represent a potential tool in the characterization of BLs. SWE still gives its most relevant contribution in the clinical setting rather than included in a radiomics pipeline.
目的:利用 B 型 US 和 SWE 图像建立并验证一种结合放射组学和机器学习(ML)的方法,以区分乳腺实体病变(BL)的良恶性,并将其性能与放射科专家的性能进行比较:回顾性纳入至少有一个 BI-RADS 2-6 BL 的患者,这些患者的乳腺 US 与 SWE 相结合。手动分割 B 型 US 和 SWE 图像以提取放射组学特征。进行多步骤特征选择,并使用逻辑回归算法建立预测模型。诊断准确性通过 AUC 和马修斯相关系数 (Matthews Correlation Coefficient, MCC) 指标进行评估。将 ML 分类器的性能与放射科专家的性能进行了比较:共纳入 427 个BL,分为训练集(286 个BL,其中 127 个良性,159 个恶性)和测试集(141 个BL,其中 59 个良性,82 个恶性)。从 B 型 US 和 SWE 图像中提取的 1098 个特征中,最终选出 13 个。在训练集和测试集中,ML 分类器的 AUC 分别为 0.768 和 0.746,MCC 分别为 0.403 和 0.423。其性能高于仅评估 B 型 US 图像的放射科专家,但在同时提供 SWE 图像时,其性能明显降低:结论:基于 B 型 US 和 SWE 图像的 ML 方法可能是表征 BL 的一种潜在工具。在临床环境中,SWE 仍能做出最大贡献,而不是将其纳入放射组学管道中。

Purpose

To evaluate the positive predictive value and factors predictive of malignancy of additional calcifications in the pre-therapeutic work-up of a synchronous breast cancer.

Materials and methods

Institutional review board approval was obtained for this retrospective study and informed consent was waved. Consecutive patients referred to our center between January 1st 2018 and December 31st 2022 for a breast cancer and who presented additional calcifications detected during the pretreatment work-up were eligible for inclusion in this study. Morphology, distribution and BI-RADS category of the calcifications were assessed in consensus by 3 radiologists specialized in breast imaging. Side and distance from the cancer were collected. The predictive value of malignancy of the calcifications was calculated for each BI-RADS category. Factors associated with malignancy were evaluated by logistic non-conditional regression on univariate and multivariate analysis.

Results

One hundred and thirteen clusters of calcifications in 103 patients were included. Among the groups of calcifications 41 % were malignant, 31 % benign and 28 % were atypia on biopsy. After exclusion of the non-operated atypia, 50.5 % of additional calcifications were ultimately malignant and 49.5 % were benign. The predictive value of malignancy was 20.7 %; 40.7 %; 63 %; 85.7 % and 100 % for category BI-RADS 3, 4a, 4B, 4c and 5 respectively. On multivariate analysis, multifocality or centricity of the index tumour (P = 0.01), BI-RADS classifications (P = 0.0001) and location ipsilateral less than 35 mm to the index cancer (P = 0.008) of the additional calcifications were found to be independent predictors of malignancy. Sixty percent of calcifications were not described on the initial out-center diagnostic work-up.

Conclusion

Additional calcifications detected during the pretreatment work-up of a breast cancer are associated with a higher probability of malignancy than in a screening population and require biopsy even when demonstrating probably benign (BI-RADS 3) features.
目的:评估同步乳腺癌治疗前检查中额外钙化的阳性预测值和恶性预测因素:这项回顾性研究已获得机构审查委员会批准,并已获得知情同意。2018年1月1日至2022年12月31日期间,因乳腺癌转诊至本中心的连续患者,如果在治疗前检查中发现额外钙化,均符合纳入本研究的条件。钙化的形态、分布和 BI-RADS 类别由 3 位乳腺成像专业的放射科医生共同评估。研究人员还收集了钙化的侧位和与癌症的距离。根据每个 BI-RADS 类别计算钙化的恶性预测值。通过单变量和多变量分析的逻辑非条件回归评估了与恶性肿瘤相关的因素:结果:共纳入 103 名患者的 113 组钙化。在钙化群中,41%为恶性,31%为良性,28%为活检不典型。在排除未手术的不典型钙化后,50.5%的新增钙化最终为恶性,49.5%为良性。BI-RADS 3、4a、4B、4c 和 5 类的恶性预测值分别为 20.7%、40.7%、63%、85.7% 和 100%。通过多变量分析发现,指数肿瘤的多灶性或中心性(P = 0.01)、BI-RADS分类(P = 0.0001)和附加钙化的同侧位置距离指数癌症小于35毫米(P = 0.008)是恶性肿瘤的独立预测因素。60%的钙化在最初的中心外诊断检查中没有描述:结论:与筛查人群相比,在乳腺癌预处理过程中发现的额外钙化与更高的恶性概率相关,即使显示出可能是良性(BI-RADS 3)的特征,也需要进行活检。

Purpose

This study explores the performance of MRI in detecting residual disease after platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in pregnant cervical cancer (CC) patients, which would serve as a surrogate of treatment response.

Methods

In this retrospective single-centre study, consecutive pregnant cervical cancer patients treated with NACT and undergoing MRI examination before and at the end of the therapeutic protocol between 2010 and 2021 were included. Tumour maximum diameter and nodal status were evaluated in MRI at staging and after NACT. Patients exhibiting increased tumor burden post-NACT were excluded. On post-NACT the presence or absence of residual disease was recorded and the MRI diagnostic performance for assessing residual disease was calculated using histopathology at radical hysterectomy as the reference standard.

Results

The study included 12 pregnant patients (median age 36 years, 27–42). At post-NACT MRI, residual disease was absent in 2/12 patients (16.7 %) while present in 10/12 (83.3 %). Histopathology was concordant in all patients without MRI residual disease and in 9/10 patients with MRI residual disease, while discordant in 1/10. MRI sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive and accuracy for detecting residual disease were 100.0 % (95 %CI: 1.00, 1.00), 66.7 % (95 %CI: 0.13, 1.00), 90 % (95 %CI: 0.71, 1.00), 100 % (95 %CI: 1.00, 1.00), and 91.7 % (95 %CI: 0.76, 1.00) respectively (p = 0.045).

Conclusions

This study suggests that MRI has good diagnostic performance to detect residual disease after NACT in pregnant CC patients, and potentially assess response to treatment in this setting.
方法 在这项回顾性单中心研究中,纳入了 2010 年至 2021 年期间接受 NACT 治疗并在治疗方案之前和结束时接受 MRI 检查的连续妊娠宫颈癌患者。在分期时和 NACT 后,通过磁共振成像评估肿瘤最大直径和结节状态。排除了NACT后肿瘤负荷增加的患者。记录NACT后有无残留疾病,并以根治性子宫切除术的组织病理学作为参考标准,计算评估残留疾病的MRI诊断性能。在进行 NACT MRI 后,2/12(16.7%)名患者无残留疾病,10/12(83.3%)名患者有残留疾病。所有无核磁共振残留病灶的患者组织病理学结果一致,9/10 的患者有核磁共振残留病灶,1/10 的患者组织病理学结果不一致。磁共振成像检测残留疾病的敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值、阴性预测值和准确性分别为 100.0 %(95 %CI:1.00,1.00)、66.7 %(95 %CI:0.13,1.00)、90 %(95 %CI:0.71,1.00)、100 %(95 %CI:1.00,1.00)和 91.结论本研究表明,磁共振成像在检测妊娠期 CC 患者 NACT 后的残留疾病方面具有良好的诊断性能,并有可能评估这种情况下的治疗反应。

Objectives

Radiomics provides an opportunity to evaluate cancer prognosis noninvasively. However, the susceptibility of the radiomic quantitative features to multicenter effects, leads to the clinical dilemma of the radiomic signatures. This study aimed to develop a radiomic signature to circumvent multicenter effects, achieving the individualized prognostic assessment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

Methods

Using computed tomography (CT) imaging of 234 stage I–IIIA LUAD patients derived from three public multicenter cohorts, we proposed a rank-based method that utilized the relative rank patterns of quantitative values between radiomic feature pairs within individual patients and established a feature pair signature for LUAD prognosis. We collected a new clinical cohort with 162 LUAD patients for independent validation.

Results

A rank-based radiomic signature, consisting of 12 feature pairs, was developed, and it could determine the mortality risk for an individual according to the rank patterns of 12 feature pairs within the patient’s CT imaging. The prognostic performance of the rank-based signature was effectively validated in the new clinical cohort (log-rank P = 0.0051, C-index = 0.73), whereas other signatures lost their prognostic ability across centers. The novel proposed radiomic nomogram significantly improved the prognostic performance of clinicopathological factors. The further radiogenomic analyses revealed the underlying biological characteristics (e.g., Stemness, Ferroptosis, ’ECM’) reflected by the rank-based radiomic signature.

Conclusions

This multicenter study illustrates the accuracy and stability of the rank-based radiomic signature for LUAD prognosis, and demonstrates a unique advantage of clinical individualized application. The biological characteristics underlying the rank-based radiomic signature would accelerate its clinical application.
目的:放射组学为无创评估癌症预后提供了机会。然而,放射组学定量特征易受多中心效应的影响,导致放射组学特征在临床上陷入困境。本研究旨在开发一种放射学特征,以规避多中心效应,实现肺腺癌(LUAD)的个体化预后评估:方法:通过对来自三个公共多中心队列的 234 例 I-IIIA 期 LUAD 患者进行计算机断层扫描(CT)成像,我们提出了一种基于等级的方法,该方法利用单个患者体内放射学特征对之间定量值的相对等级模式,建立了用于 LUAD 预后评估的特征对特征。我们收集了一个包含 162 名 LUAD 患者的新临床队列进行独立验证:结果:我们建立了一个由 12 对特征组成的等级放射学特征,它可以根据患者 CT 图像中 12 对特征的等级模式来确定个体的死亡风险。基于等级的特征的预后性能在新的临床队列中得到了有效验证(对数秩P=0.0051,C指数=0.73),而其他特征在不同中心失去了预后能力。新提出的放射基因组提名图显著提高了临床病理因素的预后效果。进一步的放射基因组学分析揭示了基于等级的放射学特征所反映的潜在生物学特征(如干细胞、铁突变、"ECM"):这项多中心研究说明了基于等级的放射基因组特征用于 LUAD 预后判断的准确性和稳定性,并展示了临床个体化应用的独特优势。基于等级的放射学特征所蕴含的生物学特性将加速其临床应用。

Objective

Our purpose was to describe our initial institutional experience using dedicated brain [18F]-Fluoroestradiol (FES) PET/CT or PET/MRI in the management of patients with estrogen-receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM), and compare to [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET and MRI.

Materials & Methods

Patients with biopsy-proven ER+ disease and MRI findings of suspected new, progressive, or recurrent BCBM were included in this retrospective study. Clinical and demographic data were collected. Dedicated brain FES PET/CT or PET/MRI was performed for clinical purposes. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) in MRI-defined target lesions and SUV ratio (SUVR, referencing normal-appearing parenchyma) were obtained. Pathology and/or clinical and MRI follow-up data were used as gold standard to classify viable neoplasm versus post-radiotherapy (RT) sequelae. Mann-Whitney tests were performed to compare subgroups.

Results

Seven patients met inclusion criteria. 15/16 (94 %) lesions classified as neoplasm were FES-positive. 4/4 (100 %) lesions classified as RT sequelae were FES-negative. Median tumor FES-SUVR were higher than median RT-sequelae FES-SUVR (6.0 (2.8–9.1) versus 0.5 (0.3–0.7), p < 0.01), and similarly, median tumor FES-SUV were higher than median RT-sequelae FES-SUV (4.8 (2.8–9.1) versus 0.6 (0.3–0.8), p < 0.01). Lesion-based analysis of FDG-SUV and −SUVR demonstrated a trend for higher FDG avidity in lesions characterized as neoplasm; however, this did not reach statistical significance.

Conclusion

Dedicated FES brain PET represents a promising adjunct modality, noting limitations of small sample size, retrospective nature of our study, and the possibility of ER expression heterogeneity.

Background

CT perfusion angiographic reconstructions (CTP-AR), derived at the peak arterial inflow, have demonstrated similar diagnostic accuracy to CTA for occlusion detection in the anterior circulation. Colour-coded CTP maps may aid in localizing an occlusion. This study aim to assess the additional value of CTP maps for occlusion detection in ischemic stroke patients assessed with CTA or CTP-AR.

Methods

In this single center retrospective study, ischemic stroke patients who underwent both CTA and CTP from September 2020 up to and including September 2021 were included. The 1 mm CTP series at peak arterial inflow corresponds to the CTP-AR. Following the initial assessment of CTA and CTP-AR for occlusion detection, three readers with varying levels of experienced, reassessed the CTA and CTP-AR with access to the color-coded CTP maps. Each CTA and CTP-AR was reviewed by two readers, and certainty of assessment was recorded. The reference standard was determined through a consensus meeting. Differences in certainty were assessed using a t-test for paired samples.

Results

Out of 210 patients, 107 patients had an occlusion based on our reference standard. The addition of CTP maps resulted in the finding of 11 (2.6%) additional occlusions out of 420 CTA readings and 9 (2.1%) out of 420 CTP-AR readings, primarily involving distal occlusions. After addition of CTP maps, 7 (1.6%) initial assessments on CTA and 3 (0.7%) initial assessments on CTP-AR were deemed false positive. The overall certainty of all readers significantly (P < 0.001) increased after addition of CTP maps.

Conclusion

The usage of CTP maps improved occlusion detection on both CTA and CTP-AR, especially for distal occlusions, and resulted in the increase of the overall level of certainty among readers with varying levels of experience.
背景:在前循环闭塞检测方面,CT 灌注血管造影重建(CTP-AR)在动脉流入峰值处获得,其诊断准确性与 CTA 相似。彩色编码的 CTP 地图可帮助定位闭塞。本研究旨在评估 CTP 地图对使用 CTA 或 CTP-AR 评估的缺血性脑卒中患者闭塞检测的附加价值:在这项单中心回顾性研究中,纳入了 2020 年 9 月至 2021 年 9 月(含 2021 年 9 月)接受 CTA 和 CTP 检查的缺血性脑卒中患者。动脉流入量峰值的 1 mm CTP 系列与 CTP-AR 相对应。在对 CTA 和 CTP-AR 的闭塞检测进行初步评估后,由三位经验不同的读者对 CTA 和 CTP-AR 进行重新评估,并获取彩色编码的 CTP 地图。每份 CTA 和 CTP-AR 均由两名读者复核,并记录评估的确定性。参考标准通过共识会议确定。确定性差异采用配对样本 t 检验进行评估:结果:在 210 名患者中,107 名患者根据我们的参考标准出现了闭塞。增加 CTP 地图后,在 420 个 CTA 读数中发现了 11 个(2.6%)额外的闭塞,在 420 个 CTP-AR 读数中发现了 9 个(2.1%)额外的闭塞,主要涉及远端闭塞。添加 CTP 地图后,CTA 和 CTP-AR 分别有 7 次(1.6%)和 3 次(0.7%)初步评估被视为假阳性。所有阅读者的总体确定性都显著提高(P 结论:CTP 地图的使用改善了血管栓塞的诊断:使用 CTP 地图改善了 CTA 和 CTP-AR 的闭塞检测,尤其是对远端闭塞的检测,并提高了具有不同经验水平的读者的总体确定性水平。

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a commercial, fully-automated, artificial intelligence (AI) driven software tool in identifying and grading prostate lesions in prostate MRI, using histopathological findings as the reference standard, while contextualizing its performance within the framework of PI-RADS v2.1 criteria.

Material and methods: This retrospective study analyzed 123 patients who underwent multiparametric prostate MRI followed by systematic and targeted biopsies. MRI protocols adhered to international guidelines and included T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted, T1-weighted, and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging. The AI software tool mdprostate was integrated into the Picture Archiving and Communication System to automatically segment the prostate, calculate prostate volume, and classify lesions according to PI-RADS scores using biparametric T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging. Histopathological analysis of biopsy cores served as the reference standard. Diagnostic performance metrics including sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value (PPV, NPV), and area under the ROC curve (AUC) were calculated.

Results: mdprostate demonstrated 100 % sensitivity at a PI-RADS ≥ 2 cutoff, effectively ruling out both clinically significant and non-significant prostate cancers for lesions remaining below this threshold. For detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) using a PI-RADS ≥ 4 cutoff, mdprostate achieved a sensitivity of 85.5 % and a specificity of 63.2 %. The AUC for detecting cancers of any grade was 0.803. The performance metrics of mdprostate were comparable to those reported in two meta-analyses of PI-RADS v2.1, with no significant differences in sensitivity and specificity (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: The evaluated AI tool demonstrated high diagnostic performance in identifying and grading prostate lesions, with results comparable to those reported in meta-analyses of expert readers using PI-RADS v2.1. Its ability to standardize evaluations and potentially reduce variability underscores its potential as a valuable adjunct in the prostate cancer diagnostic pathway. The high accuracy of mdprostate, particularly in ruling out prostate cancers, highlights its clinical utility by reducing workload and enhancing patient outcomes.

研究目的本研究旨在评估一种商业化、全自动、人工智能(AI)驱动的软件工具在前列腺 MRI 中识别和分级前列腺病变的诊断性能,以组织病理学结果作为参考标准,同时将其性能纳入 PI-RADS v2.1 标准的框架中:这项回顾性研究分析了 123 名接受多参数前列腺 MRI 检查并进行系统性和有针对性活检的患者。磁共振成像方案符合国际指南,包括T2加权、弥散加权、T1加权和动态对比增强成像。人工智能软件工具mdprostate被集成到图片存档和通信系统中,利用双参数T2加权和弥散加权成像技术自动分割前列腺、计算前列腺体积并根据PI-RADS评分对病变进行分类。活检核心的组织病理学分析作为参考标准。结果显示:当 PI-RADS ≥ 2 时,mdprostate 的灵敏度为 100%,能有效排除低于该临界值的有临床意义和无临床意义的前列腺癌。在使用 PI-RADS ≥ 4 临界值检测有临床意义的前列腺癌(csPCa)时,mdprostate 的灵敏度为 85.5%,特异性为 63.2%。检测任何级别癌症的 AUC 为 0.803。mdprostate的性能指标与PI-RADS v2.1的两项荟萃分析所报告的指标相当,在灵敏度和特异性方面没有显著差异(P > 0.05):结论:所评估的人工智能工具在识别和分级前列腺病变方面具有很高的诊断性能,其结果与使用 PI-RADS v2.1 的专家读者荟萃分析报告的结果相当。该工具能使评估标准化,并有可能减少变异性,这凸显了它作为前列腺癌诊断途径中重要辅助工具的潜力。mdprostate 的准确性很高,尤其是在排除前列腺癌方面,通过减少工作量和提高患者预后,突出了它的临床实用性。

Purpose

National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines suggest chest CT when gastrointestinal stromal tumors are larger than 2 cm. We evaluate the value of screening the chest region during initial and follow-up CT.

Method

Single institution retrospective analysis of GIST cancer registry for patients diagnosed between May 2010 and November 2019 with tumor > 2 cm. We collected the patient demographics and clinical data; reviewed all CT scans of the chest region and recorded the lung nodules. Patients were grouped into lung nodule group and non-nodule group. Categorical variables were compared with the Chi square test and continuous variables with the Mann-Whitney U test. The survival probability was determined from Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank test for comparing differences.

Results

The final cohort included 382 patients (median age 61 years-old [interquartile range: 52–71]) and grouped into non-nodule group (n = 284) and lung nodule group (n = 98). The frequency of the CT scan was more in lung nodule group (8 [5–12]) than in non-nodule group (4 [2–9], p < 0.001). The lung nodule group had more CT including the chest region (6 [3–10] vs 3 [1–7], p < 0.001). In progressive lung nodules (8/98 [8 %]), only one patient had confirmed lung metastasis from GIST (1/382 [3 %]). There was no difference in overall survival between nodule groups (p = 0.12).

Conclusions

GIST patients with tumors larger than 2 cm have extremely low risk for lung metastasis. Routine inclusion of chest CT scan in staging and follow up is unnecessary.

Purpose

This study aims to evaluate current reporting practices in radiomics research, with a focus on CheckList for EvaluAtion of Radiomics research (CLEAR).

Methods

We conducted a citation search using Google Scholar to collect original research articles on radiomics citing the CLEAR guideline up to June 17, 2024. We examined the adoption of the guideline, adherence scores per publication, item-wise adherence rates, and self-reporting practices. An expert panel from the European Society of Medical Imaging Informatics Radiomics Auditing Group conducted a detailed item-by-item confirmation analysis of the self-reported CLEAR checklists.

Results

Out of 100 unique citations from 104 records, 48 original research papers on radiomics were included. The overall adoption rate in the literature was 2 %. Among the citing articles, 94 % (45/48) adopted CLEAR for reporting purposes, applying it to both hand-crafted radiomics (89 %) and deep learning (24 %). Self-reported checklists were included in 58 % (26/45) of these papers. Median study-wise adherence score for self-reported data was 91 % (interquartile range = 18 %). Mean confirmed adherence score was 66 % (standard deviation = 14 %). Difference between these scores was statistically significant, (mean = 21 %; standard deviation = 11 %), p < 0.001. Using an arbitrary 50 % adherence cut-off, the number of items with poor adherence increased from 3 to 15 after confirmation analysis, mostly comprised of open science-related items. In addition, several items were frequently misreported.

Conclusion

This study revealed significant discrepancies between self-reported and confirmed adherence to the CLEAR guideline in radiomics research, indicating a need for improved reporting accuracy and verification practices.
目的:本研究旨在评估当前放射组学研究的报告实践,重点是放射组学研究评估清单(CLEAR):我们使用谷歌学术(Google Scholar)进行了引文检索,收集了截至2024年6月17日引用CLEAR指南的放射组学原创研究文章。我们研究了该指南的采用情况、每篇出版物的遵守得分、项目遵守率以及自我报告实践。欧洲医学影像信息学会放射组学审核小组的专家小组对自我报告的 CLEAR 核对表进行了详细的逐项确认分析:在 104 条记录的 100 条唯一引用中,有 48 篇关于放射组学的原创研究论文被收录。文献的总体采用率为 2%。在被引用的文章中,94%(45/48)采用 CLEAR 进行报告,将其应用于手工制作的放射组学(89%)和深度学习(24%)。在这些论文中,58%(26/45)的论文采用了自我报告核对表。自我报告数据的研究一致性得分中位数为 91%(四分位间范围 = 18%)。经确认的依从性得分中位数为 66%(标准差 = 14%)。这些分数之间的差异具有统计学意义(平均 = 21%;标准差 = 11%),p 结论:本研究显示,在放射组学研究中,自我报告与确认遵守 CLEAR 准则之间存在重大差异,表明需要提高报告准确性并改进验证方法。

Background

Accurate diagnostic imaging is crucial for managing facial fractures, which are a common global occurrence. This study aimed to compare the image quality of Photon Counting Detector CT (PCD-CT) with state-of-the-art Energy Integrating Detector CT (EID-CT) and intraoperative C-arm CBCT (CBCT) in visualizing maxillofacial anatomy using a cadaveric sheep head model.

Methods

Three fresh sheep heads were used, with surgical interventions simulating metal implants in two of them. The specimens were imaged using PCD-CT, EID-CT, and CBCT, following which quantitative assessments of signal-to-noise ratio, sharpness, and artifacts were conducted. A visual grading study was performed by six observers, using criteria focusing on the mandible, orbit, and soft tissues. Statistical analyses included Friedman tests for comparing modalities and Kendall’s W and Gwet’s AC1 for assessing inter- and intrarater agreement.

Results

PCD-CT demonstrated a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio (p = 0.03) and bone sharpness (p < 0.001) compared to CBCT. In visual grading, PCD-CT outperformed CBCT, but not EID-CT, particularly in delineating mandibular and orbital structures. EID-CT and PCD-CT showed slightly more severe hypodense artifacts (p = 0.01) but were comparable in streak artifact presentation. The interrater and intrarater agreements indicated consistent evaluations across and within observers.

Conclusion

PCD-CT exhibits superior image quality over CBCT in key parameters essential for maxillofacial imaging, while no apparent improvement was shown compared to state-of-the-art EID-CT. PCD-CT offers enhanced visualization of critical anatomical structures, suggesting its potential as a preferred modality in managing maxillofacial trauma. The findings in this study align with limited existing research on PCD-CT, underscoring its promise for advanced diagnostic imaging in maxillofacial applications.
背景准确的诊断成像对于处理全球常见的面部骨折至关重要。本研究旨在比较光子计数探测器 CT(PCD-CT)与最先进的能量集成探测器 CT(EID-CT)和术中 C 臂 CBCT(CBCT)在使用尸体羊头模型观察颌面部解剖结构时的图像质量。使用 PCD-CT、EID-CT 和 CBCT 对标本进行成像,然后对信噪比、清晰度和伪影进行定量评估。六名观察者根据下颌骨、眼眶和软组织的标准进行了视觉分级研究。统计分析包括用于比较各种模式的 Friedman 检验,以及用于评估观察者之间和观察者内部一致性的 Kendall's W 和 Gwet's AC1。结果与 CBCT 相比,PCD-CT 的信噪比(p = 0.03)和骨清晰度(p < 0.001)明显更高。在视觉分级方面,PCD-CT优于CBCT,但不优于EID-CT,尤其是在下颌骨和眼眶结构的划分方面。EID-CT和PCD-CT显示的低密度伪影略微严重一些(p = 0.01),但在条纹伪影表现方面不相上下。结论 PCD-CT 在颌面部成像所必需的关键参数方面的图像质量优于 CBCT,但与最先进的 EID-CT 相比并无明显改善。PCD-CT 可增强关键解剖结构的可视化,这表明它有可能成为处理颌面部创伤的首选方式。这项研究的结果与现有关于 PCD-CT 的有限研究结果相吻合,突显了 PCD-CT 在颌面部先进诊断成像应用中的前景。
