主 题:Three-dimensional ultrasound In vitro Virtual endoscopy Intestinal polyps Technical feasibility
摘 要:AIM: To present our initial experience regarding the feasibility of ultrasound virtual endoscopy(USVE) and its measurement reliability for polyp detection in an in vitro study using pig intestine ***: Six porcine intestine specimens containing 30 synthetic polyps underwent USVE, computed tomography colonography(CTC) and optical colonoscopy(OC) for polyp detection. The polyp measurement defined as the maximum polyp diameter on twodimensional(2D) multiplanar reformatted(MPR) planes was obtained by USVE, and the absolute measurement error was analyzed using the direct measurement as the reference ***: USVE detected 29(96.7%) of 30 polyps, remaining a 7-mm one missed. There was one falsepositive finding. Twenty-six(89.7%) of 29 reconstructedimages were clearly depicted, while 29(96.7%) of 30 polyps were displayed on CTC with one false-negative finding. In OC, all the polyps were detected. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.876(95%CI: 0.745-0.940) for measurements obtained with USVE. The pooled absolute measurement errors ± the standard deviations of the depicted polyps with actual sizes ≤ 5 mm, 6-9 mm, and ≥ 10 mm were 1.9 ± 0.8 mm, 0.9 ± 1.2 mm, and 1.0 ± 1.4 mm, ***: USVE is reliable for polyp detection and measurement in in vitro study.
