Machine Learning to Predict the Rapid Growth of Small Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Machine Learning to Predict the Rapid Growth of Small Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Objective The purpose of this study was to determine whether computed tomography (CT) angiography with machine learning (ML) can be used to predict the rapid growth of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Materials and Methods This retrospective study was approved by our institutional review board. Fifty consecutive patients (45 men, 5 women, 73.5 years) with small AAA (38.5 ± 6.2 mm) had undergone CT angiography. To be included, patients required at least 2 CT scans a minimum of 6 months apart. Abdominal aortic aneurysm growth, estimated by change per year, was compared between patients with baseline infrarenal aortic minor axis. For each axial image, major axis of AAA, minor axis of AAA, major axis of lumen without intraluminal thrombi (ILT), minor axis of lumen without ILT, AAA area, lumen area without ILT, ILT area, maximum ILT area, and maximum ILT thickness were measured. We developed a prediction model using an ML method (to predict expansion >4 mm/y) and calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of this model via 10-fold cross-validation. Results The median aneurysm expansion was 3.0 mm/y. Major axis of AAA and AAA area correlated significantly with future AAA expansion (r = 0.472, 0.416 all P < 0.01). Machine learning and major axis of AAA were a strong predictor of significant AAA expansion (>4 mm/y) (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.86 and 0.78). Conclusions Machine learning is an effective method for the prediction of expansion risk of AAA. Abdominal aortic aneurysm area and major axis of AAA are the important factors to reflect AAA expansion. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine whether computed tomography (CT) angiography with machine learning (ML) can be used to predict the rapid growth of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Materials and Methods This retrospective study was approved by our institutional review board. Fifty consecutive patients (45 men, 5 women, 73.5 years) with small AAA (38.5 ± 6.2 mm) had undergone CT angiography. To be included, patients required at least 2 CT scans a minimum of 6 months apart. Abdominal aortic aneurysm growth, estimated by change per year, was compared between patients with baseline infrarenal aortic minor axis. For each axial image, major axis of AAA, minor axis of AAA, major axis of lumen without intraluminal thrombi (ILT), minor axis of lumen without ILT, AAA area, lumen area without ILT, ILT area, maximum ILT area, and maximum ILT thickness were measured. We developed a prediction model using an ML method (to predict expansion >4 mm/y) and calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of this model via 10-fold cross-validation. Results The median aneurysm expansion was 3.0 mm/y. Major axis of AAA and AAA area correlated significantly with future AAA expansion (r = 0.472, 0.416 all P < 0.01). Machine learning and major axis of AAA were a strong predictor of significant AAA expansion (>4 mm/y) (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.86 and 0.78).

Abdominal aortic aneurysm area and major axis of AAA are the important factors to reflect AAA expansion.
