Diagnostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Image under Automatic Segmentation Algorithm for Restenosis after Coronary Stenting

Abstract

The diagnostic efficacy of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) images of coronary arteries in restenosis after coronary stenting based on the combination of the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm and the automatic segmentation algorithm for region growth of vascular similarity features was explored to provide a more effective diagnostic method for patients. 130 patients with coronary artery disease were randomly selected as the research objects, and they were averagely classified into the control group (conventional coronary CTA image diagnosis) and the observation group (coronary CTA image diagnosis based on an improved automatic segmentation algorithm). Based on the diagnostic criteria of coronary angiography (CAG), the efficacy of two kinds of coronary CTA images on the postoperative subsequent visit of coronary heart disease (CHD) stenting was evaluated. The results showed that the accuracy of the CNN algorithm was 87.89%, and the average voxel error of the improved algorithm was signally lower than that of the traditional algorithm (1.8921 HU/voxel vs. 7.10091 HU/voxel) ( $p$  < 0.05). The average score of the coronary CTA image in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (2.89 ± 0.11 points vs. 2.01 ± 0.73 points) ( $p$  < 0.05). The diagnostic sensitivity (91.43%), specificity (86.76%), positive predictive value (88.89%), negative predictive value (89.66%), and accuracy (89.23%) of the observation group were higher than those of the control group ( $p$  < 0.05). In conclusion, the region growth algorithm under the CNN algorithm and vascular similarity features had an accurate segmentation effect, which was helpful for the diagnosis of CTA image in restenosis after coronary stenting.
