Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) from traumatic brain injury (TBI) requires prompt radiological investigation and recognition by physicians. Computed tomography (CT) scanning is the investigation of choice for TBI and has become increasingly utilized under the shortage of trained radiology personnel. It is anticipated that deep learning models will be a promising solution for the generation of timely and accurate radiology reports. Our study examines the diagnostic performance of a deep learning model and compares the performance of that with detection, localization and classification of traumatic ICHs involving radiology, emergency medicine, and neurosurgery residents. Our results demonstrate that the high level of accuracy achieved by the deep learning model, (0.89), outperforms the residents with regard to sensitivity (0.82) but still lacks behind in specificity (0.90). Overall, our study suggests that the deep learning model may serve as a potential screening tool aiding the interpretation of head CT scans among traumatic brain injury patients.
创伤性脑损伤(TBI)导致的颅内出血(ICH)需要放射科医生迅速进行影像学检查和识别。计算机断层扫描(CT)扫描是 TBI 的首选检查方法,在受过培训的放射科人员短缺的情况下,它的应用越来越广泛。预计深度学习模型将是生成及时、准确的放射学报告的有前途的解决方案。我们的研究考察了深度学习模型的诊断性能,并比较了该模型与放射科、急诊医学和神经外科住院医师在检测、定位和分类创伤性 ICH 方面的性能。我们的结果表明,深度学习模型达到的高精度(0.89)在敏感性方面优于住院医师(0.82),但特异性仍落后(0.90)。总体而言,我们的研究表明,深度学习模型可以作为一种潜在的筛选工具,帮助解读创伤性脑损伤患者的头部 CT 扫描。
