About this study

Official title: Echocardiography Image Quality Management System Based on Deep Learning: A Single-center Prospective Study

To develop an echocardiography image quality management system based on deep learning to achieve objective and accurate automatic echocardiography image quality control. A total of 2000 patients performing transthoracic echocardiography were prospectively enrolled in the Department of Ultrasound Medicine of the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital with Medical School of Nanjing University. The data of 8 TTE view segmentations were collected, including the views of the parasternal long axis of the left ventricle (PLAX_LV), parasternal short axis of the large vessel level (PSAX_GV), parasternal short axis of the mitral valve level (PSAX_MV), parasternal short axis of the papillary muscle level (PSAX_PM), parasternal short axis of the apical level (PSAX_AP), apical four cavity (A4C), apical three cavity (A3C), apical two cavity (A2C). The data of 1500 patients were used as the training set, and the rest were used as the validation set. These video data were classified into corresponding view segmentations and analyzed by the Video Swin Transformed Model. Then, the scoring module of different view segmentations combined key frame extraction, image segmentation, video target recognition and video classification model were established. At the same time, the scores achieved by the automatic echocardiography image assessment system were compared with the artificial score. By constantly correcting and learning and eventually building an primary automated grading system. At last, the automatic echocardiography image assessment system was constructed and performed on the rest 500 patients.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2023. 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.

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

Contact Jing Yao, Phd (+8618905188727, w1835199709@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the score of PSAX view (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05633732, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 23 Feb 2023.
