The purpose of this study was to develop an automated diagnostic method for iNPH using artificial intelligence techniques with a T1-weighted MRI scan.MATERIALS AND METHODSWe quantified iNPH, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and healthy control patients on T1-weighted 3D brain MRI scans using 452 scans for training and 110 scans for testing. Automatic component measurement algorithms were developed for Evans' index, Sylvian fissure enlargement, high-convexity tightness, callosal angle, and normalized lateral ventricle volume. XGBoost models were trained for both automated measurements and manual labels for iNPH prediction.RESULTSA total of 452 patients (200 men; mean age ± standard deviation, 73.2 ± 6.5 years) were included in the training set. Of the 452 patients, 111 (24.6%) had iNPH. We obtained AUC values of 0.956 for automatically measured high-convexity tightness and 0.830 for Sylvian fissure enlargement. Intra-class correlation values of 0.824 for the callosal angle and 0.924 for Evans' index were measured. Using the decision tree of the XGBoost model, the model trained on manual labels obtained an average cross-validation AUC of 0.988 on the training set and 0.938 on the unseen test set, while the fully automated model obtained a cross-validation AUC of 0.983 and an unseen test AUC of 0.936.CONCLUSIONWe demonstrated a machine-learning algorithm capable of diagnosing iNPH from a 3D T1-weighted MRI scan that is robust to the failure. We propose a method to scan large numbers of 3D T1-weighted MRI scans with minimal human intervention, making possible large-scale iNPH screening.ABBREVIATIONSiNPH = idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus; PD = Parkinson's disease; AD = Alzheimer's disease; HC = healthy control; CSF = cerebrospinal fluid; DESH = disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid space hydrocephalus; 3D = three-dimensional.","PeriodicalId":7875,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Neuroradiology","volume":"140 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MR imaging offers an ideal imaging method, providing noninvasive, high-contrast, high-resolution imaging of soft-tissue anatomy. Furthermore, focused-speech MR imaging techniques can evaluate the function of the velum and pharynx during sustained speech production, providing critical physiologic information that supplements anatomic findings.

Here we provide a practical approach to perform and interpret velopharyngeal MR imaging examinations.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence of ICE assessed by dual-energy CT (DECT), its determinants, and associations with clinical outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively examined imaging parameters and clinical factors from consecutive patients with AIS treated with EVT who had a DECT 24 hours thereafter, identified at a single academic center. Associations between ICE, clinical, imaging, and procedural parameters, as well as clinical outcome were explored by using univariable and multivariable models. RESULTS: A total of 197 consecutive patients were included (period 2019–2020), of which 53 (27%) demonstrated ICE that was pure ICE in 30/53 (57%) and mixed with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in 23/53 (43%).

ICE was independently associated with ICH (P = .047), but not with poorer clinical outcome (6-month mRS >2, P = .223). Univariate analysis demonstrated that low ADC, higher ischemic volume, ICA occlusion, mass effect, longer procedure duration, combined thrombectomy technique, higher number of device passes, and lower recanalization rate were associated with ICE (respectively, P = .002; <.001; .002; <.001; .002; 0.011; <0.001; 0.015). CONCLUSIONS: ICE evaluated with DECT is a relatively frequent finding after EVT, present in almost one-third of patients.
