摘要:

目的: 分析人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)辅助影像诊断技术用于提高综合医院肺结核发现水平的价值。方法: 本研究采用前瞻性和回顾性相结合的研究方法,于2024年6月至2024年12月,选择江苏省人民医院和南京医科大学第二附属医院两家综合医院门诊拍摄胸部CT的75786例患者进行AI辅助筛查肺结核,随后影像科医生对AI疑似影像进行复核,排除掉非疑似肺结核患者后再由专家组进行复核确诊,最后共确诊259例肺结核患者。同时,利用二元逻辑回归方法分析患者临床特征和CT征象对AI分析效果的影响。结果: 在两家综合医院的75786张CT片中,AI以0.56作为阈值判定疑似肺结核,AI提示疑似肺结核的CT片为8574张,最终确诊肺结核259例,其中临床诊断患者196例,占75.68%(196/259),与同期传统流程报告数量相比发现率提高了102.34%[(259-128)/128]。确诊肺结核AI阈值中位数(四分位数)为0.65(0.59,0.69),被排除患者的阈值中位数(四分位数)为0.62(0.59,0.70),差异无统计学意义(U=1783.500,P=0.738)。钙化和纤维化在非肺结核患者中的比例更高,调整后比值比(aOR)分别为0.52(95%CI:0.32~0.84,P=0.008)、0.52(95%CI:0.31~0.86,P=0.011)。结论: AI阅片系统可显著提高肺结核患者的发现效率,降低漏诊率,但肺结核的诊断仍然要依赖临床综合诊断;钙化和纤维化影像学特征并不有助于肺结核的诊断。因此,AI辅助CT阅片在综合医院中具有较好的应用潜力。

Abstract:

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the value of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted imaging diagnostic technology in improving the detection rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in general hospitals. Methods: This prospective and retrospective study, conducted from June to December 2024, selected 75786 patients who underwent chest CT scans at the outpatient clinics of two general hospitals, Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, for AI-assisted screening for pulmonary tuberculosis. Subsequently, radiologists reviewed the AI-suspected images, excluding those without suspected pulmonary tuberculosis, before a panel of experts confirmed the diagnosis. A total of 259 patients were ultimately diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. Simultaneously, we used binary logistic regression to analyze the impact of clinical characteristics and CT findings on the effectiveness of AI analysis, aiming to demonstrate the effectiveness of AI in detecting pulmonary tuberculosis in actual clinical practice. Results: Among 75786 CT scans from two general hospitals, AI (AI-guided diagnostic tool) used a threshold of 0.56 to identify suspected pulmonary tuberculosis, AI indicated 8574 scans as potentially indicating pulmonary tuberculosis, ultimately confirming 259 cases. Among these, 196 were clinically diagnosed, accounting for 75.68% (196/259), representing a 102.34% ((259-128)/128) increase in detection rate compared to the number of reported cases during the same period (χ2=41.800, P<0.001). The median (interquartile range) AI threshold for confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis was 0.65 (0.59, 0.69), while the median threshold for excluded patients was 0.62 (0.59, 0.70), with no statistically significant difference (U=1783.500, P=0.738). Calcification and fibrosis were more prevalent in non-pulmonary tuberculosis cases, with adjusted odds of 0.52 (95%CI: 0.32-0.84, P=0.008) and 0.52 (95%CI: 0.31-0.86, P=0.011), respectively. Conclusion: AI-assisted CT image reading systems can significantly improve the detection efficiency of pulmonary tuberculosis patients and reduce the missed diagnosis rate; however, the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis still relies on comprehensive clinical diagnosis. Calcification and fibrosis imaging features are not helpful in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Therefore, AI-assisted CT image reading has good application potential in general hospitals.
