简介
Background
No large dataset–derived standard has been established for normal or pathologic human cerebral ventricular and cranial vault volumes. Automated volumetric measurements could be used to assist in diagnosis and follow-up of hydrocephalus or craniofacial syndromes. In this work, we use deep learning algorithms to measure ventricular and cranial vault volumes in a large dataset of head computed tomography (CT) scans.
Methods
A cross-sectional dataset comprising 13,851 CT scans was used to deploy U-Net deep learning networks to segment and quantify lateral cerebral ventricular and cranial vault volumes in relation to age and sex. The models were validated against manual segmentations. Corresponding radiologic reports were annotated using a rule-based natural language processing framework to identify normal scans, cerebral atrophy, or hydrocephalus.
Results
U-Net models had high …
