Innovative solution of Moscow Polytech specialists and their colleagues from other universities is intended to increase the effectiveness of detecting problems of cerebral blood circulation.
Moscow Polytech's research team, Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Gammamed-Soft Company created artificial intelligence for detection of narrowing of the arteries of the brain. Accuracy of such an analysis makes up more than 80%. The scientists presented the research results during the International Conference “LANGUAGE, CONSCIENCE, COMMUNICATION: METHODOLOGY AND HUMANITARION PRACTICES (CHALLENGES OF OUR TIME)”.
Assessment of arteries is implemented on the basis of the data of computed tomographic angiography (CTA). Thus, testing of the algorithm on a sample of 118 KTA series showed a high accuracy of stenosis detection - 83.1%. Additionally, they made a 3D visualization of the reconstructed vascular tree with indication of the localization of the revealed pathological constrictions. Implementation of the algorithm in clinical practice will significantly speed up and simplify the process of diagnosing intracranial artery stenosis.
Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) makes it possible to obtain a detailed image of blood veins and assess the nature of blood flow. Main volume of blood flows to the brain through the carotid arteries, which is why their narrowing significantly increases the risk of stroke.
The new method allows automatic reconstruction of vascular tree of the patient and calculate morphological parameters for accurate detection of areas of pathological vasoconstriction.
“The team has developed an original chain of analysis methods in order to obtain the most accurate data with the minimal involvement of a doctor. The applied importance of the development is in improving the accuracy of diagnosis of cerebral stenosis, objectification of their quantitative assessment and optimization of the processes of rendering assistance to the patients with this pathology,” noted Vladislav Vereshyagin, Associate Professor of the Department of Information and Cognitive Technologies of Moscow Polytech.
