Automated Detection of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Using Artificial Intelligence: An Approach Based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Venography Data
摘要
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure without an identifiable cause. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms in diagnosing IIH using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) data.
Materials and MethodsA total of 194 individuals (74 IHH patients and 120 controls) were examined, and brain MRV and T2-weighted MRI images were analyzed. Two different models were trained using AI algorithms on MRV and T2 images, and these models were evaluated together.
ResultsThe accuracy of the models was calculated to be 80.60% ± 9.17 using only MRV data, 79.86% ± 8.50 using only T2 data, and 82.6% ± 8.88 when both datasets were combined, and the area under the curve values were 84.97% ± 9.24, 85.46% ± 8.00, and 90.55% ± 8.53, respectively.
ConclusionThe results indicate that AI algorithms offer high accuracy and reliability in diagnosing IIH. AI-assisted diagnostic methods can accelerate clinical processes and eliminate observer-related variations.
