About this study

Official title: Based on a Small Sample Deep Learning Multi-modal Image-assisted Diagnosis Model of Cervical Spine Tumors Clinical Application Research

Cervical spine tumor is a small sample of tumor disease with low incidence, great harm, and complex anatomical structure. It is very difficult to identify and classify benign and malignant cervical spine tumors clinically.

The deep learning model we constructed in the early stage has a higher accuracy rate for the image diagnosis of cervical spondylosis with a large number of cases, and a better clinical application effect, but the accuracy rate for cervical spine tumors with a small number of cases is lower. The reason may be the amount of data. With limited tasks, the traditional deep learning model is difficult to play an effective role.

Based on this, we propose to build a small sample-oriented deep learning model to assist clinicians in the diagnosis of cervical spine tumors with multimodal images, and to evaluate the benign and malignant tumors.

Cervical spine tumor is a small-sample tumor disease with low incidence, great harm, and complex anatomical structure. It is very difficult to identify and classify benign and malignant cervical spine tumors clinically. The deep learning model we constructed in the early stage is suitable for the large number of cases. The imaging diagnosis of cervical spondylosis has a high accuracy rate and a good clinical application effect, but the accuracy rate is low for cervical spine tumors with a small number of cases. The reason may be that for tasks with limited amount of data, the traditional deep learning model is difficult to play an effective role. Based on this, we propose to construct a small sample-oriented deep learning model to assist clinicians in the diagnosis of cervical spine tumors in multi-modal imaging, and to evaluate the benign and malignant tumors. This research will not only improve the efficiency and efficiency of cervical spine tumor imaging diagnosis. Accuracy, to guide clinical personalized treatment, will also provide a basis for the clinical application of deep learning in the field of small samples, which has important clinical significance.

X-rayThis study completed the manual labeling of preoperative multi-modal images of cervical spine structures and tumor lesions. On the normal cervical spine, six target areas were labeled: cervical spinal cord (MRI), cervical spine alignment (MRI), cervical intervertebral discs ( MRI), cervical spinal canal area (MRI), cervical cobb angle (X-ray) and cervical posterior longitudinal ligament ossification (CT). For cervical tumor lesions, complete MR and CT as well as orthopedic, axial and coronal positions. The label on the lateral X-ray image.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. tumor detection

    On the basis of the cervical spine structure, it is the modeling of the tumor. The model based on weakly supervised learning recognizes the morphological features such as the size of the tumor lesion, and uses the fast-adapted meta-learning method to achieve a fast model under a small amount of training. Optimize, and finally evaluate the benignity, borderline and malignant probability of the tumor and use it as an output.

    Measured: 2022-2023

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. cervical spine detection

    Taking the postoperative pathology report of cancer patients as the audit standard, testing the sensitivity and accuracy of the model, and integrating it into a complete deep learning model.

    Measured: 2022-2023

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spine Tumor, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tumor detection (time frame: 2022-2023). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jul 2021.
