An applicability study of rapid artificial intelligence-assisted compressed sensing (ACS) in anal fistula magnetic resonance imaging. Heliyon 2024; 10:e22817. [PMID: 38169794 PMCID: PMC10758725 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the applicability of artificial intelligence-assisted compressed sensing (ACS) to anal fistula magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods 51 patients were included in this study and underwent T2-weighted sequence of MRI examinations both with ACS and without ACS technology in a 3.0 T MR scanner. Subjective image quality scores, and objective image quality-related metrics including scanning time, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), were evaluated and statistically compared between the images collected with and without ACS. Results No significant difference in the subjective image quality of lesion conspicuity was observed between the two groups. However, ACS MRI decreased the acquisition time with regard to control group (74.00 s vs. 156.00 s). Besides, SNR of perianal and muscle in the ACS group was significantly higher than that of the control group (164.07 ± 33.35 vs 130.81 ± 29.10, p < 0.001; 109.87 ± 22.01 vs 87.61 ± 17.95, p < 0.001; respectively). The CNR was significantly higher in the ACS group than in the control group (54.02 ± 23.98 vs 43.20 ± 21.00; p < 0.001). Moreover, the accuracy rate of the ACS groups in evaluating the direction and internal opening of the fistula was 88.89 %, exactly the same as that of the control group. Conclusion We demonstrated the applicability of using ACS to accelerate MR of anal fistulas with improved SNR and CNR. Meanwhile, the accuracy rates of the ACS group and the control were equivalent in evaluating the direction and internal opening of the fistula, based on the results of surgical exploration.

Abstract
Introduction Perianal fistula and its recurrence is a challenging entity for surgeons. It is a well-establi1shed fact that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings influence surgical procedures and reduce the rate of recurrence. In this study, we assessed the contrast-enhanced (CE) three dimensional T1 sequences [sampling perfection with application optimized contrast using different flip angle evolution (SPACE) and volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE)] in a 3T MRI system to evaluate perianal fistulas and compared them with two-dimensional (2D) sequences. Materials and Methods Forty-four patients (mean age, 38.8 ± 15.3 [standard deviation]; 32 males, 12 females) with perianal fistula were included in this prospective study. The patients underwent conventional noncontrast, 2D sequences, diffusion-weighted imaging, followed by postcontrast, 2D T1 images in both axial and coronal planes, and 3D sequences at 3T. Acquisition times were recorded for each sequence. Each postcontrast sequence was evaluated in terms of image quality, presence of artifacts, fistula type, presence of an abscess, visibility, and number of internal orifices. The surgical findings were considered the gold standard. The imaging findings were compared with the surgical findings. Results In all three sequences, the fistula type and abscess were identified correctly in all patients. The sensitivity value for identification of ramifications utilizing CE 3D T1 VIBE sequence, CE 3D T1 SPACE, and CE 2D T1 images was 100, 86, and 36%, respectively. The number of internal orifices was identified by the CE 3D T1 VIBE and CE 3D T1 SPACE sequences in 100 and 92% of patients, respectively. CE 2D T1 images correctly identified internal orifices in 80% of patients. The overall scan time for each 3D sequence was shorter than for the combined postcontrast 2D sequences. Conclusion CE 3D T1 SPACE and CE 3D T1 VIBE sequences outperformed conventional CE 2D sequences in the evaluation of perianal fistulas in terms of visibility and the number of internal orifices with a shorter scanning time. Among the 3D sequences, CE 3D T1 VIBE is slightly superior to CE 3D T1 SPACE sequence.
