Prediction of Stroke Risk in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Based on Chest CT Images

Обзор

This study aims to create and assess a deep learning framework for extracting left atrial appendage features in atrial fibrillation patients and combining them with clinical data to predict ischemic stroke risk. Clinical data and chest CT images from patients diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation will be collected. Patients will be categorized into stroke and non-stroke groups to build a data repository. The dataset will be divided into training and validation sets, with missing data handled and pulmonary vein CTV and virtual non-contrast images annotated. A deep learning model will be used for image segmentation and feature extraction to develop a prediction system.

Подробное описание

This study aims to develop and evaluate a deep learning framework that can automatically extract imaging features of the left atrial appendage in patients with atrial fibrillation and combine them with clinical features to predict the risk of ischemic stroke in these patients. The study intends to retrospectively collect clinical data (including patients\' general information, medical history, laboratory tests, etc.) and chest CT images, as well as pulmonary vein CTV images (if available), from patients diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation between January 2018 and June 2024. The patients will be divided into stroke and non-stroke groups based on whether they have experienced an ischemic stroke, and a data analysis repository will be established. The dataset will be split into training and validation sets. Missing data will be handled, and data labeling will be performed on the pulmonary vein CTV sequence images and virtual non-contrast (VNC) sequence images. The left atrial morphology will be delineated, and a deep learning-based image segmentation network model will be developed to extract and select radiomic features for the prediction system.
