Artificial Intelligence Algorithm-Based Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Evaluate the Effect of Radiation Synovectomy for Hemophilic Arthropathy.

Abstract

This study aimed to discuss magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to evaluate the effect of radiation synovectomy for hemophilic arthropathy (HA). MRI based on the Canny algorithm was applied and compared with conventional MRI to evaluate its application effects according to the PSNR and SSIM. Sixty patients diagnosed with HA were selected as the research subjects. According to the detection method, the patients were divided into group A (pathological detection after radiation synovectomy), group B (conventional MRI detection), and group C (MRI detection based on the Canny algorithm). The application value of MRI based on the Canny algorithm was judged by comparing the differences between the two detection methods and pathological results. The results displayed that the reconstruction effect of the Canny algorithm was remarkably better than that of the traditional algorithm regarding the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM), which showed a clearer synovial contour. The results of the IPSG score of joint effusion and hemorrhage showed that there was a difference in the detection rate of joints between conventional MRI and pathological results on the score of 1 and 2 (P < 0.05); and there was no significant difference between the MRI and pathological results based on the Canny algorithm (P > 0.05). The results of the IPSG score of synovial hyperplasia showed that the detection rate of conventional MRI was different from pathological results on the score of 1 and 2 (P < 0.05); and there was no significant difference between the MRI and pathological results based on the Canny algorithm (P > 0.05). The results of the IPSG score of hemosiderin deposition showed that the detection rate of conventional MRI was different from the pathological results on the score of 1 and 2 (P < 0.05); and there was no significant difference between the MRI and pathological results based on the Canny algorithm (P > 0.05). The synovial volume of patients after surgery was reduced compared with that before surgery. One-factor variance was used to analyze the clinical hemorrhage frequency before and after surgery, and the results showed that the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Therefore, MRI on account of AI algorithm made it easier to detect synovial contour, which was helpful to evaluate the efficacy of polygenic risk scores (PRS) surgery in HA patients. MRI based on the Canny algorithm had less differences between the score of hemophilic arthropathy and pathological results, which could replace conventional MRI examination and have clinical application value.
