مستخلص: Background: Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a fluoroscopy method primarily used for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Deep learning-based DSA (DDSA) is developed to extract DSA-like images directly from fluoroscopic images, which helps in saving dose while improving image quality. It can also be applied where C-arm or patient motion is present and conventional DSA cannot be applied. However, due to the lack of clinical training data and unavoidable artifacts in DSA targets, current DDSA models still cannot satisfactorily display specific structures, nor can they predict noise-free images.
Purpose: In this study, we propose a strategy for producing abundant synthetic DSA image pairs in which synthetic DSA targets are free of typical artifacts and noise commonly found in conventional DSA targets for DDSA model training.
Methods: More than 7,000 forward-projected computed tomography (CT) images and more than 25,000 synthetic vascular projection images were employed to create contrast-enhanced fluoroscopic images and corresponding DSA images, which were utilized as DSA image pairs for training of the DDSA networks. The CT projection images and vascular projection images were generated from eight whole-body CT scans and 1,584 3D vascular skeletons, respectively. All vessel skeletons were generated with stochastic Lindenmayer systems. We trained DDSA models on this synthetic dataset and compared them to the trainings on a clinical DSA dataset, which contains nearly 4,000 fluoroscopic x-ray images obtained from different models of C-arms.
Results: We evaluated DDSA models on clinical fluoroscopic data of different anatomies, including the leg, abdomen, and heart. The results on leg data showed for different methods that training on synthetic data performed similarly and sometimes outperformed training on clinical data. The results on abdomen and cardiac data demonstrated that models trained on synthetic data were able to extract clearer DSA-like images than conventional DSA and models trained on clinical data. The models trained on synthetic data consistently outperformed their clinical data counterparts, achieving higher scores in the quantitative evaluation of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) metrics for DDSA images, as well as accuracy, precision, and Dice scores for segmentation of the DDSA images.
Conclusions: We proposed an approach to train DDSA networks with synthetic DSA image pairs and extract DSA-like images from contrast-enhanced x-ray images directly. This is a potential tool to aid in diagnosis.
