Automatic classification of heart failure based on Cine-CMR images

© 2023. CARS..

PURPOSE: Heart failure (HF) is a serious and complex syndrome with a high mortality rate. In clinical diagnosis, the correct classification of HF is helpful. In our previous work, we proposed a self-supervised learning framework of HF classification (SSLHF) on cine cardiac magnetic resonance images (Cine-CMR). However, this method lacks the integration of three dimensions of spatial information and temporal information. Thus, this study aims at proposing an automatic 4D HF classification algorithm.

METHODS: To construct a 4D classification model, we proposed an extensional framework called 4D-SSLHF. It mainly consists of self-supervised image restoration and HF classification. The image restoration proxy task utilizes three image transformation methods to enhance the exploration of spatial and temporal information in the Cine-CMR. In the classification task, we proposed a Siamese Conv-LSTM network by combining the Siamese network and bi-directional Conv-LSTM to integrate the features of the four dimensions simultaneously.

RESULTS: Experimental results on 184 patients from Shanghai Chest Hospital achieved an AUC of 0.8794 and an ACC of 0.8402 in the five-fold cross-validation. Compared with our previous work, the improvements in AUC and ACC were 2.89 % and 1.94 %, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we proposed a novel self-supervised learning framework named 4D-SSLHF for HF classification based on Cine-CMR. The proposed 4D-SSLHF can mine 3D spatial information and temporal information in Cine-CMR images well and accurately classify different categories of HF. The good classification results show our method's potential to assist physicians in choosing personalized treatment.
