摘要

目的:开发并验证一种自动软件分析方法,用于对美国放射学会(ACR)数字乳腺 X 射线摄影(DM)模型图像进行乳腺 X 射线摄影图像质量评估:方法:使用富士乳腺 X 射线摄影系统采集了 27 幅 DICOM 图像。所有图像均由三位医学物理专家根据澳大利亚和新西兰皇家放射学院(RANZCR)乳腺 X 射线质量控制指南进行评估。为了增强算法的稳健性和灵敏度评估,我们还额外加入了一组来自 Hologic 乳房 X 射线摄影系统的 12 幅图像,以测试各种假体位置调整。软件自动选择多个感兴趣区(ROI)进行分析。图像分析主要使用模板匹配方法,然后使用附加方法对每个目标对象(斑点组、纤维和肿块)进行定位和评分:结果:软件性能与观察者的平均评分显示出良好到极佳的一致性(斑点组、纤维和肿块的类内相关系数 [ICC] 分别为 0.75、0.79 和 0.82)。人类观察者和软件对目标物体的评分没有明显差异。两种方法对斑点组和块状物的评分都达到了合格标准。与软件相比,专家观察员对直径小于 0.61 毫米的纤维物体的评分较低。当人体模型位置横向变化达 25 毫米、旋转达 5 度、胸壁边缘悬空达 15 毫米时,软件都能对物体进行准确评分:结论:软件自动分析是一种可行的方法,有助于提高乳腺 X 射线图像质量评估的一致性和可重复性,减少对人机交互的依赖,缩短处理时间。

Automated quality control analysis for American College of Radiology (ACR) digital mammography (DM) phantom images

Automated quality control analysis for American College of Radiology (ACR) digital mammography (DM) phantom images

Purpose

To develop and validate an automated software analysis method for mammography image quality assessment of the American College of Radiology (ACR) digital mammography (DM) phantom images.

Methods

Twenty-seven DICOM images were acquired using Fuji mammography systems. All images were evaluated by three expert medical physicists using the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) mammography quality control guideline. To enhance the robustness and sensitivity assessment of our algorithm, an additional set of 12 images from a Hologic mammography system was included to test various phantom positional adjustments. The software automatically chose multiple regions of interest (ROIs) for analysis. A template matching method was primarily used for image analysis, followed by an additional method that locates and scores each target object (speck groups, fibers, and masses).

Results

The software performance shows a good to excellent agreement with the average scoring of observers (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] of 0.75, 0.79, 0.82 for speck groups, fibers, and masses, respectively). No significant differences were found in the scoring of target objects between human observers and the software. Both methods achieved scores meeting the pass criteria for speck groups and masses. Expert observers allocated lower scores to fiber objects, with diameters less than 0.61 mm, when compared to the software. The software was able to accurately score objects when the phantom position changed by up to 25 mm laterally, up to 5 degrees rotation, and overhanging the chest wall edge by up to 15 mm.

Conclusions

Automated software analysis is a feasible method that may help improve the consistency and reproducibility of mammography image quality assessment with reduced reliance on human interaction and processing time.

期刊介绍: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics is an international Open Access publication dedicated to clinical medical physics. JACMP welcomes original contributions dealing with all aspects of medical physics from scientists working in the clinical medical physics around the world. JACMP accepts only online submission. JACMP will publish: -Original Contributions: Peer-reviewed, investigations that represent new and significant contributions to the field. Recommended word count: up to 7500. -Review Articles: Reviews of major areas or sub-areas in the field of clinical medical physics. These articles may be of any length and are peer reviewed. -Technical Notes: These should be no longer than 3000 words, including key references. -Letters to the Editor: Comments on papers published in JACMP or on any other matters of interest to clinical medical physics. These should not be more than 1250 (including the literature) and their publication is only based on the decision of the editor, who occasionally asks experts on the merit of the contents. -Book Reviews: The editorial office solicits Book Reviews. -Announcements of Forthcoming Meetings: The Editor may provide notice of forthcoming meetings, course offerings, and other events relevant to clinical medical physics. -Parallel Opposed Editorial: We welcome topics relevant to clinical practice and medical physics profession. The contents can be controversial debate or opposed aspects of an issue. One author argues for the position and the other against. Each side of the debate contains an opening statement up to 800 words, followed by a rebuttal up to 500 words. Readers interested in participating in this series should contact the moderator with a proposed title and a short description of the topic
