Machine Learning Prediction of Aneurysm Rupture Risk Based on the Fusion of Hemodynamic and Morphological Features
The aim of this study is to construct a machine learning model for predicting the risk of aneurysm rupture by integrating hemodynamic and morphological features of patients with intracranial aneurysms.
Methods
2
Cases of patients with intracranial aneurysms who sought treatment at the Department of Neurosurgery
Affiliated Hongqi Hospital of Mudanjiang Medical University from February 2021 to December 2023 were collected. The study group comprised 130 patients with ruptured aneurysms
while the control group included 60 patients with unruptured aneurysms. All patients provided CT images in DICOM format
and after obtaining approval from the hospital's ethics committee and signed informed consent from the patients' families
three-dimensional reconstruction of the aneurysm DICOM format CT images was performed using MIMICS software. Morphological parameters were obtained through morphological measurements
and hemodynamic parameters were calculated through computational fluid dynamics simulations. The dataset for constructing the machine learning clinical prediction model was built by combining morphological and hemodynamic parameters. Ten machine learning algorithms were employed to construct the prediction models
and their performance was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy
AUC (Area Under the Curve)
recall rate
and F1 score. Additionally
model interpretability was analyzed using the SHAP method.
Results
2
Among all the models tested
the random forest model demonstrated the best performance with an accuracy of 0.78
an AUC value of 0.81
and a high recall rate of 0.72.
Conclusion
2
The machine learning model constructed by integrating the morphological and hemodynamic features of aneurysms can provide a powerful tool for clinical decision-making and shows promising potential for clinical application.
