BACKGROUND: Bone density measurement is an important examination for the diagnosis and screening of osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to develop a deep learning (DL) system for automatic measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) for osteoporosis screening using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) images.
METHODS: This retrospective study included 500 individuals who underwent LDCT scanning from April 2018 to July 2021. All images were manually annotated by a radiologist for the cancellous bone of target vertebrae and post-processed using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) software to identify osteoporosis. Patients were divided into the training, validation, and testing sets in a ratio of 6:2:2 using a 4-fold cross validation method. A localization model using faster region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) was trained to identify and locate the target vertebrae (T12-L2), then a 3-dimensional (3D) AnatomyNet was trained to finely segment the cancellous bone of target vertebrae in the localized image. A 3D DenseNet was applied for calculating BMD. The Dice coefficient was used to evaluate segmentation performance. Linear regression and Bland-Altman (BA) analyses were performed to compare the calculated BMD values using the proposed system with QCT. The diagnostic performance of the system for osteoporosis and osteopenia was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
RESULTS: Our segmentation model achieved a mean Dice coefficient of 0.95, with Dice coefficients greater than 0.9 accounting for 96.6%. The correlation coefficient (R2) and mean errors between the proposed system and QCT in the testing set were 0.967 and 2.21 mg/cm3, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC was 0.984 for detecting osteoporosis and 0.993 for distinguishing abnormal BMD (osteopenia and osteoporosis).
CONCLUSIONS: The fully automated DL-based system is able to perform automatic BMD calculation for opportunistic osteoporosis screening with high accuracy using LDCT scans.
