Application Value of CTA in the Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage of Different Origins.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is difficult to detect because of its circulation through subarachnoid space, which leads to a high rate of missed diagnosis. Based on the above background, the purpose of this study is to study the application value of brain CT angiography (CTA) in computer-aided diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage with a wide range of brain digital subtraction angiography as a gold standard. This paper collected images and related medical records of 111 patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage receiving brain CTA and DSA examinations from February 2015 to November 2019 in the neurology department of our hospital. In contrast to the number, position, length, width, and neck width of the causative aneurysm detected by DSA, we evaluated the diagnostic results of CTA and evaluated whether there was statistical difference between the two detectives of intracranial aneurysms. The results showed that the area under ROC curve of subtraction CTA and conventional CTA was 1.000 and 0.818, respectively, which indicated that the former had better display effect on internal carotid aneurysm (AUC > 0.9), while the latter had medium value (0.7 < AUC ≤ 0.9), and the difference was statistically significant ( = 2.390, =0.017).
