This study aimed to explore the application effect of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on deep learning in laparoscopic surgery for colorectal carcinoma (CRC). 40 patients with CRC who were diagnosed and required laparoscopic surgery were selected in the research. The MRI scan images of all patients were processed based on the convolutional neural network algorithm. The MRI images before and after treatment were set as the control group and the experimental group, respectively. The consistency of MRI results with laparoscopic and postoperative pathological biopsy results was observed. Through the comparative analysis of the research results, in terms of consistency with the surgical plane, the assessment results of the experimental group were more consistent than those of the control group and direct observation under laparoscopy, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). In terms of tumor T staging, the consistency between the experimental group and pathological biopsy results was superior to that of the control group, with considerable difference ( P < 0.05 ). In conclusion, practically speaking, the application of MR images based on convolutional neural network algorithm in laparoscopic CRC surgery was better than conventional MRI technology. However, the research was a small-scale pathological study, which was not very representative.

This study aimed to explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features based on deep learning super-resolution algorithms in evaluating the value of propofol anesthesia for brain protection of patients undergoing craniotomy evacuation of the hematoma. An optimized super-resolution algorithm was obtained through the multiscale network reconstruction model based on the traditional algorithm. A total of 100 patients undergoing craniotomy evacuation of hematoma were recruited and rolled into sevoflurane control group and propofol experimental group. Both were evaluated using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) images based on deep learning super-resolution algorithms. The results showed that the fractional anisotropic image (FA) value of the hind limb corticospinal tract of the affected side of the internal capsule of the experimental group after the operation was 0.67 ± 0.28. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 6.14 ± 3.29. The oxygen saturation in jugular venous (SjvO2) at T4 and T5 was 61.93 ± 6.58% and 59.38 ± 6.2%, respectively, and cerebral oxygen uptake rate (CO2ER) was 31.12 ± 6.07% and 35.83 ± 7.91%, respectively. The difference in jugular venous oxygen (Da-jvO2) at T3, T4, and T5 was 63.28 ± 10.15 mL/dL, 64.89 ± 13.11 mL/dL, and 66.03 ± 11.78 mL/dL, respectively. The neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and central-nerve-specific protein (S100β) levels at T5 were 53.85 ± 12.31 ng/mL and 7.49 ± 3.16 ng/mL, respectively. In terms of the number of postoperative complications, the patients in the experimental group were better than the control group under sevoflurane anesthesia, and the differences were substantial ( P  < 0.05). In conclusion, MRI images based on deep learning super-resolution algorithm have great clinical value in evaluating the degree of brain injury in patients anesthetized with propofol and the protective effect of propofol on brain nerves.

This study was to analyze the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for gastric cancer (GC) lesions and the treatment effect of complete laparoscopic radical resection (CLSRR). A malignant tumor recognition algorithm was constructed in this study based on the backprojection (BP) and support vector machine (SVM), which was named BPS. 78 GC patients were divided into an experimental group (received CLSRR) and a control group (received assisted laparoscopic radical resection (ALSRR)), with 39 cases in each group. It was found that the BPS algorithm showed lower relative mean square error (MSE) in axle x (OMSE, x) and axle y (OMSE, x), but the classification accuracy (CA) was the opposite ( P < 0.05 ). The postoperative hospital stay, analgesia duration, first exhaust time (FET), and first off-bed activity time (FOBA) for patients in the experimental group were less ( P < 0.05 ). The operation time of the experimental group (270.56 ± 90.55 min) was significantly longer than that of the control group (228.07 ± 75.26 min) ( P < 0.05 ). There were 3 cases of anastomotic fistula, 1 case of acute peritonitis, and 2 cases of lung infections in the experimental group, which were greatly less than those in the control group (7 cases, 4 cases, and 3 cases) ( P < 0.05 ). In short, the BPS algorithm was superior in processing MRI images and could improve the diagnostic effect of MRI images. The CLSRR could reduce the length of hospital stay and the probability of complications in GC patients, so it could be used as a surgical plan for the clinical treatment of advanced GC.

BACKGROUND The radiological differential diagnosis between tumor recurrence and radiation-induced necrosis (ie, pseudoprogression) is of paramount importance in the management of glioma patients. OBJECTIVE This research aims to develop a deep learning methodology for automated differentiation of tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis based on routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. METHODS In this retrospective study, 146 patients who underwent radiation therapy after glioma resection and presented with suspected recurrent lesions at the follow-up MRI examination were selected for analysis. Routine MRI scans were acquired from each patient, including T1, T2, and gadolinium-contrast-enhanced T1 sequences. Of those cases, 96 (65.8%) were confirmed as glioma recurrence on postsurgical pathological examination, while 50 (34.2%) were diagnosed as necrosis. A light-weighted deep neural network (DNN) (ie, efficient radionecrosis neural network [ERN-Net]) was proposed to learn radiological features of gliomas and necrosis from MRI scans. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate performance of the model in both image-wise and subject-wise classifications. Preoperative diagnostic performance of the model was also compared to that of the state-of-the-art DNN models and five experienced neurosurgeons. RESULTS DNN models based on multimodal MRI outperformed single-modal models. ERN-Net achieved the highest AUC in both image-wise (0.915) and subject-wise (0.958) classification tasks. The evaluated DNN models achieved an average sensitivity of 0.947 (SD 0.033), specificity of 0.817 (SD 0.075), and accuracy of 0.903 (SD 0.026), which were significantly better than the tested neurosurgeons (<i>P</i>=.02 in sensitivity and <i>P</i>&lt;.001 in specificity and accuracy). CONCLUSIONS Deep learning offers a useful computational tool for the differential diagnosis between recurrent gliomas and necrosis. The proposed ERN-Net model, a simple and effective DNN model, achieved excellent performance on routine MRI scans and showed a high clinical applicability.

Abstract: A Brain tumor is one aggressive disease. An estimated more than 84,000 people will receive a primary brain tumor diagnosis in 2021 and an estimated 18,600 people will die from a malignant brain tumor (brain cancer) in 2021.[8] The best technique to detect brain tumors is by using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). More than any other cancer, brain tumors can have lasting and life-altering physical, cognitive, and psychological impacts on a patient’s life and hence faster diagnosis and best treatment plan should be devised to improve the life expectancy and well-being of these patients. Neural networks have shown colossal accuracy in image classification and segmentation problems. In this paper, we propose comparative studies of various deep learning models based on different types of Neural Networks(ANN, CNN, TL) to firstly identify brain tumors and then classify them into Benign Tumor, Malignant Tumor or Pituitary Tumor. The data set used holds 3190 images on T1-weighted contrast-enhanced images which were cleaned and augmented. The best ANN model concluded with an accuracy of 78% and the best CNN model consisting of 3 convolution layers had an accuracy of 90%. The VGG16(retrained on the dataset) model surpasses other ANN, CNN, TL models for multi-class tumor classification. This proposed network achieves significantly better performance with a validation accuracy of 94% and an F1-Score of 91. Keywords: Artificial Neural Network(ANN), Convolution Neural Network (CNN), Transfer Learning(TL), Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI.)

Objective. This research was developed to investigate the effect of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis based on neural network algorithm for cervical ligation in the treatment of cervical insufficiency. Methods. 44 patients who were suspected to be pregnant with cervical insufficiency and needed cervical ligation were selected. MR imaging analysis was performed before cervical ligation. MR images were analyzed based on the back propagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm, and patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. Preoperative MRI analysis was performed in the experimental group, while simple transvaginal ultrasonography was used to diagnose cervical insufficiency in the control group. Then, postoperative fetal preservation time, vaginal bleeding rate, and infection rate within one week after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results. Based on experience and experimental testing, the relevant parameters were set as follows. The number of particles n = 50, the inertia weight ω = 0.9, and c1 = c2 = 2. The weight range of the output layer of the neural network was [−1, 1], the target error e = 10−5, and the maximum number of iteration steps was 3,000. Compared with the control group, the experimental group’s postoperative bleeding rate and infection probability were substantially reduced, while the normal delivery rate was substantially increased ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. MR image analysis based on neural network algorithm played an important role in cervical cerclage surgery. The image map showed the local anatomy clearly, increasing the success rate of the operation and improving the prognosis of the patient.

Objectives. To evaluate the application of a deep learning architecture, based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) technique, to perform automatic tumor segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Materials and Methods. In this prospective study, 87 MRI containing tumor regions were acquired from newly diagnosed NPC patients. These 87 MRI were augmented to >60,000 images. The proposed CNN network is composed of two phases: feature representation and scores map reconstruction. We designed a stepwise scheme to train our CNN network. To evaluate the performance of our method, we used case-by-case leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV). The ground truth of tumor contouring was acquired by the consensus of two experienced radiologists. Results. The mean values of dice similarity coefficient, percent match, and their corresponding ratio with our method were 0.89±0.05, 0.90±0.04, and 0.84±0.06, respectively, all of which were better than reported values in the similar studies. Conclusions. We successfully established a segmentation method for NPC based on deep learning in contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. Further clinical trials with dedicated algorithms are warranted.

This work aimed to explore the analysis and diagnosis of children with tic disorder by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features under convolutional neural network (CNN), to provide a certain reference basis for clinical identification. A total of 45 children diagnosed with tic disorder in hospital from January 2018 to June 2020 were selected as the research subjects. A total of 30 normal children were selected as the control group. MRI images were collected, and CNN was constructed for image processing. The results showed that the convolutional neural network could significantly improve the speed of MRI reconstruction and can improve the diagnostic accuracy. Compared with normal children, the metabolites in children with tic disorder were slightly increased, but there was no statistical significance P > 0.05 . The results of the Yale score showed that the proportion of children with moderate illness was significantly greater than that of children with mild and severe illness. In short, the pathological changes of tic disorder were effectively discovered by MRI based on CNN algorithms, which can provide a reference for clinical identification.
