Abstract
- Background: Semiquantitative assessment of MRI plays a central role in musculoskeletal research; however, in the clinical setting MRI reports often tend to be subjective and qualitative. Grading schemes utilized in research are not used because they are extraordinarily time-consuming and unfeasible in clinical practice.<br />Purpose: To evaluate the ability of deep-learning models to detect and stage severity of meniscus and patellofemoral cartilage lesions in osteoarthritis and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) subjects.<br />Study Type: Retrospective study aimed to evaluate a technical development.<br />Population: In all, 1478 MRI studies, including subjects at various stages of osteoarthritis and after ACL injury and reconstruction.<br />Field Strength/sequence: 3T MRI, 3D FSE CUBE.<br />Assessment: Automatic segmentation of cartilage and meniscus using 2D U-Net, automatic detection, and severity staging of meniscus and cartilage lesion with a 3D convolutional neural network (3D-CNN).<br />Statistical Tests: Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, specificity and sensitivity, and class accuracy.<br />Results: Sensitivity of 89.81% and specificity of 81.98% for meniscus lesion detection and sensitivity of 80.0% and specificity of 80.27% for cartilage were achieved. The best performances for staging lesion severity were obtained by including demographics factors, achieving accuracies of 80.74%, 78.02%, and 75.00% for normal, small, and complex large lesions, respectively.<br />Data Conclusion: In this study we provide a proof of concept of a fully automated deep-learning pipeline that can identify the presence of meniscal and patellar cartilage lesions. This pipeline has also shown potential in making more in-depth examinations of lesion subjects for multiclass prediction and severity staging.<br />Level of Evidence: 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J.
