We aimed to determine the effects of deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) on radiomic features obtained from cardiac computed tomography (CT) by comparing with iterative reconstruction (IR), and filtered back projection (FBP). A total of 284 consecutive patients with 285 cardiac CT scans that were reconstructed with DLR, IR, and FBP, were retrospectively enrolled. Radiomic features were extracted from the left ventricular (LV) myocardium, and from the periprosthetic mass if patients had cardiac valve replacement. Radiomic features of LV myocardium from each reconstruction were compared using a fitting linear mixed model. Radiomics models were developed to diagnose periprosthetic abnormality, and the performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver characteristics curve (AUC). Most radiomic features of LV myocardium (73 of 88) were significantly different in pairwise comparisons between all three reconstruction methods (P < 0.05). The radiomics model on IR exhibited the best diagnostic performance (AUC 0.948, 95% CI 0.880-1), relative to DLR (AUC 0.873, 95% CI 0.735-1) and FBP (AUC 0.875, 95% CI 0.731-1), but these differences did not reach significance (P > 0.05). In conclusion, applying DLR to cardiac CT scans yields radiomic features distinct from those obtained with IR and FBP, implying that feature robustness is not guaranteed when applying DLR.
我们旨在通过比较深度学习重建(DLR)与迭代重建(IR)和滤波反投影(FBP),确定基于深度学习的重建(DLR)对心脏 CT 获得的放射组学特征的影响。共回顾性纳入 284 例连续 285 例心脏 CT 扫描患者,这些患者分别采用 DLR、IR 和 FBP 重建。从左心室(LV)心肌和心脏瓣膜置换术患者的假体周围肿块中提取放射组学特征。使用拟合线性混合模型比较每种重建的 LV 心肌的放射组学特征。开发了用于诊断假体周围异常的放射组学模型,并使用接收特征曲线下面积(AUC)评估性能。三种重建方法之间的两两比较,LV 心肌的大多数放射组学特征(88 个中的 73 个)均有显著差异(P < 0.05)。IR 上的放射组学模型表现出最佳的诊断性能(AUC 0.948,95%CI 0.880-1),优于 DLR(AUC 0.873,95%CI 0.735-1)和 FBP(AUC 0.875,95%CI 0.731-1),但这些差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。总之,在心脏 CT 扫描中应用 DLR 会产生与 IR 和 FBP 获得的放射组学特征不同的特征,这表明应用 DLR 时特征稳健性无法保证。
