    (2022) Aydogan Duman, Ebru; Sagiroglu, Seref; Celtikci, Pinar; Demirezen, Mustafa Umut; Borcek, Alp Ozgun; Emmez, Hakan; Celtikci, Emrah; 34542897
    AIM: To describe a deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (DCGAN) model which learns normal brain MRI from normal subjects than finds distortions such as a glioma from a test subject while performing a segmentation at the same time. MATERIAL and METHODS: MRIs of 300 healthy subjects were employed as training set. Additionally, test data were consisting anonymized T2-weigted MRIs of 27 healthy subjects and 27 HGG patients. Consecutive axial T2-weigted MRI slices of every subject were extracted and resized to 364x448 pixel resolution. The generative model produced random normal synthetic images and used these images for calculating residual loss to measure visual similarity between input MRIs and generated MRIs. RESULTS: The model correctly detected anomalies on 24 of 27 HGG patients' MRIs and marked them as abnormal. Besides, 25 of 27 healthy subjects' MRIs in the test dataset detected correctly as healthy MRI. The accuracy, precision, recall, and AUC were 0.907, 0.892, 0.923, and 0.907, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our proposed model demonstrates acceptable results can be achieved only by training with normal subject MRIs via using DCGAN model. This model is unique because it learns only from normal MRIs and it is able to find any abnormality which is different than the normal pattern.

    Importance of Systematic Right Ventricular Assessment in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Candidates: A Machine Learning Approach
    (2021) Galli, Elena; Le Rolle, Virginie; Smiseth, Otto A.; Duchenne, Jurgen; Aalen, John M.; Larsen, Camilla K.; Sade, Elif A.; Hubert, Arnaud; Anilkumar, Smitha; Penicka, Martin; Linde, Cecilia; Leclercq, Christophe; Hernandez, Alfredo; Voigt, Jens-Uwe; Donal, Erwan; 33422667
    Background: Despite all having systolic heart failure and broad QRS intervals, patients screened for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) are highly heterogeneous, and it remains extremely challenging to predict the impact of CRT devices on left ventricular function and outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative impact of clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic data on the left ventricular remodeling and prognosis of CRT candidates by the application of machine learning approaches. Methods: One hundred ninety-three patients with systolic heart failure receiving CRT according to current recommendations were prospectively included in this multicenter study. A combination of the Boruta algorithm and random forest methods was used to identify features predicting both CRT volumetric response and prognosis. Model performance was tested using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The k-medoid method was also applied to identify clusters of phenotypically similar patients. Results: From 28 clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic variables, 16 features were predictive of CRT response, and 11 features were predictive of prognosis. Among the predictors of CRT response, eight variables (50%) pertained to right ventricular size or function. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion was the main feature associated with prognosis. The selected features were associated with particularly good prediction of both CRT response (area under the curve, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.74-0.87) and outcomes (area under the curve, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.75-0.93). An unsupervised machine learning approach allowed the identification of two phenogroups of patients who differed significantly in clinical variables and parameters of biventricular size and right ventricular function. The two phenogroups had significantly different prognosis (hazard ratio, 4.70; 95% CI, 2.1-10.0; P < .0001; log-rank P < .0001). Conclusions: Machine learning can reliably identify clinical and echocardiographic features associated with CRT response and prognosis. The evaluation of both right ventricular size and functional parameters has pivotal importance for the risk stratification of CRT candidates and should be systematically performed in patients undergoing CRT.

    Characterization of Responder Profiles for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy through Unsupervised Clustering of Clinical and Strain Data
    (2021) Gallard, Alban; Bidaut, Auriane; Hubert, Arnaud; Sade, Elif; Marechaux, Sylvestre; Sitges, Martha; Separovic-Hanzevacki, Jadranka; Le Rolle, Virginie; Galli, Elena; Hernandez, Alfredo; 33524492
    Background: The mechanisms of improvement of left ventricular (LV) function with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) are not yet elucidated. The aim of this study was to characterize CRT responder profiles through clustering analysis, on the basis of clinical and echocardiographic preimplantation data, integrating automatic quantification of longitudinal strain signals. Methods: This was a multicenter observational study of 250 patients with chronic heart failure evaluated before CRT device implantation and followed up to 4 years. Clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic data were collected. Regional longitudinal strain signals were also analyzed with custom-made algorithms in addition to existing approaches, including myocardial work indices. Response was defined as a decrease of $15% in LV end-systolic volume. Death and hospitalization for heart failure at 4 years were considered adverse events. Seventy features were analyzed using a clustering approach (k-means clustering). Results: Five clusters were identified, with response rates between 50% in cluster 1 and 92.7% in cluster 5. These five clusters differed mainly by the characteristics of LV mechanics, evaluated using strain integrals. There was a significant difference in event-free survival at 4 years between cluster 1 and the other clusters. The quantitative analysis of strain curves, especially in the lateral wall, was more discriminative than apical rocking, septal flash, or myocardial work in most phenogroups. Conclusions: Five clusters are described, defining groups of below-average to excellent responders to CRT. These clusters demonstrate the complexity of LV mechanics and prediction of response to CRT. Automatic quantitative analysis of longitudinal strain curves appears to be a promising tool to improve the understanding of LV mechanics, patient characterization, and selection for CRT.

    (2021) Cubukcu, Hikmet Can; Topcu, Deniz Ilhan; Bayraktar, Nilufer; Gulsen, Murat; Sari, Nuran; Arslan, Ayse Hande; 0000-0002-1219-6368; 0000-0002-7886-3688; 34791032; E-3717-2019; Y-8758-2018
    Objectives The present study aimed to develop a clinical decision support tool to assist coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnoses with machine learning (ML) models using routine laboratory test results. Methods We developed ML models using laboratory data (n = 1,391) composed of six clinical chemistry (CC) results, 14 CBC parameter results, and results of a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction as a gold standard method. Four ML algorithms, including random forest (RF), gradient boosting (XGBoost), support vector machine (SVM), and logistic regression, were used to build eight ML models using CBC and a combination of CC and CBC parameters. Performance evaluation was conducted on the test data set and external validation data set from Brazil. Results The accuracy values of all models ranged from 74% to 91%. The RF model trained from CC and CBC analytes showed the best performance on the present study's data set (accuracy, 85.3%; sensitivity, 79.6%; specificity, 91.2%). The RF model trained from only CBC parameters detected COVID-19 cases with 82.8% accuracy. The best performance on the external validation data set belonged to the SVM model trained from CC and CBC parameters (accuracy, 91.18%; sensitivity, 100%; specificity, 84.21%). Conclusions ML models presented in this study can be used as clinical decision support tools to contribute to physicians' clinical judgment for COVID-19 diagnoses.

    A Novel Deep Learning Algorithm for the Automatic Detection of High-Grade Gliomas on T2-Weighted Magnetic Resonance I mages: A Preliminary Machine Learning Study
    (2020) Atici, Mehmet Ali; Sagiroglu, Seref; Celtikci, Pinar; Ucar, Murat; Borcek, Alp Ozgun; Emmez, Hakan; Celtikci, Emrah; 0000-0002-1655-6957; 31608975
    AIM: To propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) for the automatic detection of high-grade gliomas (HGGs) on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. MATERIAL and METHODS: A total of 3580 images obtained from 179 individuals were used for training and validation. After random rotation and vertical flip, training data was augmented by factor of 10 in each iteration. In order to increase data processing time, every single image converted into a Jpeg image which has a resolution of 320x320. Accuracy, precision and recall rates were calculated after training of the algorithm. RESULTS: Following training, CNN achieved acceptable performance ratios of 0.854 to 0.944 for accuracy, 0.812 to 0.980 for precision and 0.738 to 0.907 for recall. Also, CNN was able to detect HGG cases even though there is no apparent mass lesion in the given image. CONCLUSION: Our preliminary findings demonstrate; currently proposed CNN model achieves acceptable performance results for the automatic detection of HGGs on T2-weighted images.
