Algorithmic detection of images with misplaced devices (reading 1 as reference standard) was quantified by receiver operating characteristics.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Supine chest radiographs were correctly classified according to inserted TTs/CVCs in 100%/98% of the cases, thereby with high accuracy in also spatially localizing the medical device tips: corrections less than 3 mm in >86% (TTs) and 77% (CVCs) of the cases. Chest radiographs with malpositioned devices were detected with area under the curves of >0.98 (TTs), >0.96 (CVCs with accidental vessel turnover), and >0.93 (also suboptimal CVC insertion length considered). The receiver operating characteristics limitations regarding CVC assessment were mainly caused by limitations of the applied CXR position definitions (region of interest derived from anatomical landmarks), not by algorithmic spatial detection inaccuracies.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The TT and CVC tips were accurately localized in SCXRs by the presented algorithms, but triaging applications for CVC positioning assessment still suffer from the vague definition of optimal CXR positioning. Our algorithm, however, allows for an adjustment of these criteria, theoretically enabling them to meet user-specific or patient subgroups requirements. Besides CVC tip analysis, future work should also include specific course analysis for accidental vessel turnover detection.</p>","PeriodicalId":14486,"journal":{"name":"Investigative Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10557023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
