Hippocampus volume by thin layer magnetic resonance scan combined with artificial intelligence brain structure segmentation technology for diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction in cerebral small vessel disease
Objective To analyze the value of hippocampus volume by thin layer magnetic resonance imaging com-bined with artificial intelligence brain structure segmentation technology in the diagnosis of cognitive impairment for cere-bral small vessel disease.Methods A tatal of 84 patients with confirmed cerebral small blood vessel disease were se-lected and divided into cognitive impairment group(n=39)and normal group(n=45)according to mini mental state ex-amination(MMSE)on admission.The absolute volume and percentage of the medial temporal lobe and hippocampus were analyzed using 1.43T magnetic resonance thin layer scan combined with artificial intelligence brain structure seg-mentation technology.Results The age of impairment group was older than normal group(t=8.63,P<0.05).The abso-lute volume and percentage of the medial temporal lobe and hippocampus in cognitive impairment group were significant-ly lower than normal group(t=5.86,5.00,6.03,9.63,P<0.05),but the medial temporal lobe atrophy(MTA)score was significantly higher than the normal group(t=-4.75,P<0.05).Correlation anaylsis showed that the absolute volume and percentage of the medial temporal lobe and hippocampus were negatively correlated with the MTA score(r=-0.46,-0.50,-0.60,-0.63,P<0.05)and positively correlated with the MMSE score(r=0.41,0.49,0.57,0.60,P<0.05).Receiver op-erating characteristic curve(ROC)showed that area under curve of hippocampal volume percentage for predicting cogni-tive dysfunction was 0.88(95%CI 0.82-0.90,P<0.05),with cut-off value of 0.31%,the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing cognitive dysfunction by hippocampal volume percentage<0.31%were 80.53%and 85.62%,respectively.Conclusion Thin layer MRI scan combined with artificial intelligence brain structure segmentation technology can accurately locate brain functional subregions,and accurate measurement of hippocam-pal volume can assist in the diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction for cerebral small vessel disease.Achieving cut-off value of hippocampal volume percentage<0.31%has good diagnostic performance.
