Deep learning (DL) is an advanced machine learning approach used in different areas such as image analysis, bioinformatics, and natural language processing. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is a representative DL model that is highly advantageous for imaging recognition and classification This study aimed to develop a CNN using lateral cervical spine radiograph to detect cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).
We retrospectively recruited 207 patients who visited the spine center of a university hospital. Of them, 96 had CSM (CSM patients) while 111 did not have CSM (non-CSM patients). CNN algorithm was used to detect cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Of the included patients, 70% (145 images) were assigned randomly to the training set, while the remaining 30% (62 images) to the test set to measure the model performance.
The accuracy of detecting CSM was 87.1%, and the area under the curve was 0.864 (95% CI, 0.780-0.949).
The CNN model using the lateral cervical spine radiographs of each patient could be helpful in the diagnosis of CSM.
深度学习(DL)是一种应用于图像分析、生物信息学和自然语言处理等不同领域的先进机器学习方法。卷积神经网络(CNN)是一种代表性的 DL 模型,非常有利于成像识别和分类。本研究旨在开发一种使用侧位颈椎 X 光片来检测颈椎病性脊髓病(CSM)的 CNN。
我们回顾性招募了 207 名就诊于大学医院脊柱中心的患者。其中 96 例患有 CSM(CSM 患者),111 例无 CSM(非 CSM 患者)。使用 CNN 算法检测颈椎病性脊髓病。纳入的患者中,70%(145 张图像)被随机分配到训练集,其余 30%(62 张图像)到测试集,以测量模型性能。
检测 CSM 的准确率为 87.1%,曲线下面积为 0.864(95%CI,0.780-0.949)。
使用每位患者的侧位颈椎 X 光片的 CNN 模型有助于 CSM 的诊断。
