基于增强CT门静脉期影像的AI 辅助三维影像在肝脏创伤伤情评估中的应用分析

Application of AI-assisted three-dimensional imaging based on contrast-enhanced portal venous phase CT in assessment of liver trauma severity

  • 摘要: 背景 二维影像在肝脏创伤伤情评估中存在观察者间差异大、对不规则创伤量化不足等局限。AI 辅助的三维影像技术的发展为肝脏创伤的客观量化评估提供了新的可能性,但其在肝脏创伤诊疗中的应用价值尚未得到系统验证。目的 将AI辅助的三维影像技术纳入肝脏创伤诊疗流程,从分级准确性、与伤情评分的关联性、预测最终治疗结局的准确性以及量化测量时效性等方面评估其可行性与临床价值。方法 回顾性分析2014 年1 月1 日至2025 年9 月1 日期间于解放军总医院第一医学中心就诊的109 例肝脏创伤患者的临床与影像学资料。所有病例依据2018 年美国创伤外科协会(American Association for the Surgery of Trauma,AAST)肝脏创伤分级标准由临床医师基于二维影像及三维影像进行分级,比较两种方法所形成的AAST 分级结果的差异,以患者的治疗结局为金标准,采用受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)曲线评估两种方法预测治疗结局的准确性,采用配对4 格表法评估计算预测效能参数,对比三维重建与二维影像人工勾画在肝体积、创伤体积及腹腔积血量测算中的一致性及时间消耗差异。结果 共纳入肝脏创伤患者109 例,其中男76 例(69.72%),女33 例(30.28%),平均年龄(40.98±15.62)岁,车祸伤(62.39%)为主要致伤因素,接受保守治疗78 例(72%),手术治疗31 例(28%)。经二维影像所评估的AAST Ⅰ ~ Ⅴ级分别为22、25、24、28、10 例,三维影像所评估的AAST Ⅰ ~ Ⅴ级分别为22、29、28、18、12 例。依据损伤严重程度分类,三维影像相较于二维影像所评估的重度损伤患者由38 人下降至30 人,轻中度损伤患者由71 人上升至79 人,三维影像与二维影像中的轻中度损伤与重度损伤患者间的腹部ISS、AIS、Apache Ⅱ均呈显著差异(P<0.05)。在治疗结局中,重度创伤患者中接受手术治疗的比例由44.74%升至63.33%。三维影像AAST分级结果在预测最终治疗结局的准确性方面的曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)为0.773,高于二维影像的0.707。AI辅助三维影像技术的体积测算与二维影像人工勾画保持高度一致,但时间消耗更低(29.56±11.46) min vs (57.16±17.32) min,P<0.001。结论 AI 辅助三维影像技术能够改善传统二维影像在肝脏创伤伤情评估中的不足,使分级与实际治疗策略之间的匹配度更高,同时显著提高量化评估的效率和客观性。三维影像作为一种可行且具有创新性的评估工具,有望成为肝脏创伤诊疗流程的有益补充。

     

    Abstract: Background Traditional two-dimensional imaging has limitations in the assessment of liver trauma, such as significant inter-observer variability and insufficient quantification of irregular trauma. The development of AI-assisted threedimensional imaging technology offers new possibilities for objective and quantitative assessment, yet its application value in the diagnosis and treatment of liver trauma has not been systematically verified. Objective To incorporate AI-assisted 3D imaging technology into the liver trauma diagnosis and treatment workflow, and evaluate its feasibility and clinical value in terms of grading accuracy, correlation with trauma scores, accuracy in predicting final treatment outcomes, and efficiency of quantitative measurement. Methods The clinical and imaging data of 109 liver trauma patients admitted from January 1, 2014, to September 1, 2025 in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were graded by clinicians based on both 2D and 3D images according to the 2018 American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) liver trauma grading standards, and the differences in AAST grading results between the two methods were compared. Using the patient's treatment outcome as the gold standard, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was employed to evaluate the accuracy of both methods in predicting treatment outcomes, and predictive efficacy parameters were calculated using paired four-fold tables. Additionally, the consistency and time consumption between 3D reconstruction and 2D manual contouring in measuring liver volume, trauma volume, and hemoperitoneum volume were compared. Results A total of 109 patients were enrolled, including 76 males (69.72%), 33 females (30.28%), with the mean age of (40.98±15.62) years. Traffic accidents (62.39%) were the main cause of trauma. Seventy-eight (72%) patients received conservative treatment, and 31 (28%) underwent surgery. The number of cases graded as AAST I-V by 2D imaging were 22, 25, 24, 28, and 10, respectively; while those assessed by 3D imaging were 22, 29, 28, 18, and 12, respectively. Regarding trauma severity classification, compared with 2D imaging, the number of severe trauma patients identified by 3D imaging decreased from 38 to 30, while mild-to-moderate trauma patients increased from 71 to 79. Significant differences were observed in abdominal ISS, AIS, and APACHE Ⅱ scores between the mild-to-moderate and severe trauma groups in both 3D and 2D imaging (P<0.05). Regarding treatment outcomes, the proportion of patients receiving surgical treatment within the severe trauma group increased from 44.74% (based on 2D classification) to 63.33% (based on 3D classification). The area under the curve (AUC) for 3D AAST grading in predicting final treatment outcomes was 0.773, which was higher than the 0.707 for 2D grading. Volume measurement by AI-assisted 3D imaging showed high consistency with 2D manual contouring but required significantly less time (29.56± 11.46 min vs 57.16 ± 17.32 min, P<0.001). Conclusion AI-assisted 3D imaging technology can improve upon the limitations of traditional 2D imaging in liver trauma assessment, achieving a better match between grading and actual treatment strategies while significantly enhancing the efficiency and objectivity of quantitative assessment. As a feasible and innovative assessment tool, 3D imaging is expected to serve as a beneficial supplement to the liver trauma diagnosis and treatment workflow.
