摘要:

目的 探讨深度学习重建算法(DLIR)在超低剂量CT(ULDCT)条件下对慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者肺气肿定量分析的准确性及图像质量的影响。方法 前瞻性纳入我院COPD患者80例。所有患者均接受肺功能、标准剂量CT(SDCT)和ULDCT扫描。SDCT采用滤波反投影(FBP)重建,ULDCT分别采用FBP、自适应统计迭代重建-V(ASIR-V)30%、60%、90%以及低、中、高强度深度学习重建(DLIR-L、DLIR-M、DLIR-H),共获得8组图像。将图像导入CT影像辅助检测软件进行分析,测量全肺容积(LV)、肺气肿指数(EI)、平均肺密度(MLD)、肺密度第15百分位数(PD15)。测量气管和肺动脉噪声[标准差(SD)],由两名医师采用5分制对图像质量进行主观评分。比较各组间定量参数、图像噪声及主观评分的差异,记录SDCT与ULDCT的辐射剂量。采用Spearman相关分析评估各组图像EI与肺功能指标的相关性。结果 ULDCT的有效辐射剂量为(0.25±0.15)mSv,较SDCT降低约93.62%(P<0.001)。各组图像的LV和MLD无统计学差异(P>0.05)。ULDCT-ASIRV90%组和ULDCT-DLIR-M组的EI及PD15与SDCT-FBP组相似,差异无统计学意义(均P>0.05)。在ULDCT各组中,DLIR-M组的EI与第1秒用力呼气容积与用力肺活量比值和第1秒用力呼气容积占预计值百分比的相关性最好,且与SDCT-FBP组最接近。ULDCT-ASIR-V90%组和ULDCT-DLIR-M组的肺动脉噪声与SDCT-FBP组比较无统计学差异(P=1.000)。ULDCT-DLIR-M组和ULDCT-DLIR-H组的主观评分与SDCT-FBP组比较,差异无统计学意义(均P=1.00)。Bland-Altman分析显示,ULDCT-DLIR-M与SDCT-FBP组间对EI和PD15测量一致性较好。结论 ULDCT结合DLIR-M重建可用于COPD患者的肺气肿定量分析,其定量准确性及图像质量与SDCT-FBP相当,且能大幅度降低辐射剂量。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the accuracy of quantitative emphysema analysis and image quality using deep learning image reconstruction(DLIR)of ultra-low-dose chest CT(ULDCT)in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Eighty patients with COPD were prospectively enrolled and underwent pulmonary function testing, standard-dose chest CT(SDCT), and ULDCT. The SDCT images were reconstructed with filtered back projection(FBP). The ULDCT images were reconstructed using FBP, adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V(ASIR-V)at 30%, 60%, and 90%, as well as low-(DLIRL), medium-(DLIR-M), and high-strength(DLIR-H) DLIR. A total of 8 sets of images were obtained. The images were analyzed using computer-aided detection software. The lung volume(LV), emphysema index(EI), mean lung density(MLD), and 15th percentile of lung density(PD15)were measured. The image noise(standard deviation, SD)in the trachea and pulmonary artery was measured. Two radiologists independently scored the image quality using a 5-point scale. Quantitative parameters, image noise,and subjective scores as well as the radiation doses between SDCT and ULDCT were compared. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between the EI and pulmonary function testing parameters including forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1)and forced vital capacity(FVC)across image sets. Results The effective radiation dose of ULDCT[(0.25 ± 0.15 mSv)]was 93.62% and significantly lower than that of SDCT(P<0.001). No significant differences were observed in the LV or MLD among all groups(P>0.05). The EI and PD15 values in the ULDCT-ASIR-V90% and ULDCT-DLIR-M groups were not significantly different from those in the SDCT-FBP group(both P>0.05). Among all ULDCT groups, the DLIR-M group showed the strongest correlations between EI and FEV1:FVC ratio as well as between EI and FEV1 as a percentage of predicted value, with correlation coefficients closest to those of the SDCT-FBP group. Pulmonary artery noise in the ULDCT-ASIR-V90% and ULDCT-DLIR-M groups showed no significant difference compared with the SDCT-FBP group(P=1.000). Subjective scores of the ULDCT-DLIR-M and ULDCT-DLIR-H groups were also not significantly different from that of SDCT-FBP group(both P=1.00). Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated good agreement in measuring EI and PD15 between the ULDCT-DLIR-M and SDCT-FBP groups. Conclusion In patients with COPD,the ULDCT combined with DLIR-M reconstruction for quantitative emphysema analysis is accurate and has lower radiation dose and similar image quality compared to those of SDCT-FBP.
