    Deep Learning Super-Resolution CCTA Radiomics to Predict Proximal Coronary Atherosclerosis Plaque in Myocardial Bridging

    • 摘要: 目的:构建并验证基于深度学习超分辨率(SR)重建技术的冠状动脉CT血管造影(CCTA)影像组学模型预测心肌桥(MB)近端冠状动脉粥样硬化斑块(CAP)形成的效能。材料与方法:回顾性纳入382例经CCTA确诊的MB患者,根据是否存在近端CAP分为病例组与对照组(每组191例),按8∶2随机划分为训练集和测试集。采用生成对抗网络完成常规分辨率(NR)CCTA图像的4倍SR重建,分别基于NR和SR图像勾画冠状动脉周围脂肪组织(PCAT)感兴趣区并提取1106个影像组学特征,通过ICC、U检验、Spearman相关性分析及LASSO筛选出鲁棒性最高的影像组学特征,构建Extra-Trees模型。基于受试者工作特征曲线下面积(AUC)和决策曲线分析(DCA)分别评价影像组学模型预测MB近端CAP的诊断效能、临床净收益。结果:SR模型预测MB近端CAP效能显著优于NR模型,训练集和测试集AUC分别提升至0.914(vs.0.783)和0.857(vs.0.722),DCA显示临床净收益更高。结论生成对抗网络驱动的SR重建技术可显著提升影像组学特征的表征能力,SR模型对MB近端CAP形成的预测效能优于NR模型且净收益更高,值得临床推广。

       

      Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to construct and validate the efficacy of a radiomics model based on super-resolution (SR) deep learning reconstruction for predicting proximal coronary atherosclerotic plaque (CAP) formation in patients with myocardial bridging (MB) using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Materials and Methods: A total of 382 patients with MB confirmed by CCTA were retrospectively enrolled and divided into case and control groups based on the presence or absence of proximal CAP (n=191 each). Data were randomly divided into training and test sets in an 8∶2 ratio. A generative adversarial network was employed to perform 4× SR reconstruction on normal-resolution (NR) CCTA images. Regions of interest in the pericoronary adipose tissue were delineated on NR and SR images, and 1106 radiomic features were extracted. The most robust features were selected using the intraclass correlation coefficient, U test, Spearman correlation analysis, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, followed by extra-tree model construction. The predictive performance of the radiomics model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and the clinical net benefit was determined through decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: The SR model exhibited significantly superior performance in predicting proximal CAP compared to the NR model, with AUCs increasing to 0.914 (vs. 0.783) and 0.857 (vs. 0.722) in the training and test sets, respectively. DCA confirmed the higher net clinical benefits of the SR model. Conclusion: Generative adversarial network-driven SR reconstruction significantly enhanced radiomic feature characterization. The SR model outperformed the NR model in predicting proximal CAP in MB with higher net benefit, warranting clinical promotion.
