[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the value of quantitative information of MRI got from U-Net neural network in the differentiation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 100 heart disease subjects collected from Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention Society (MICCAI) 2017 automated cardiac diagnosis challenge and 45 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients and 48 hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy patients collected from July 2013 to March 2019 in the department of cardiology, Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University. All patients underwent the steady state free precession cine sequence MRI scan in short axis. MICCAI dataset, separated into 1710 images and 190 images, were used as training dataset and validating dataset. Five hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients and 5 hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy patients, including 190 images, were selected as test dataset. The U-Net model was utilized in the segmentation of heart in cine MR images. The image segmentation was performed on all the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy patients and the quantitative parameters were calculated based on the segmentation results. Independent t test was applied to compare the differences of all the parameters between the two diseases groups. Multivariate logistic regression and a 4-fold cross-validation method were applied to fit a diagnosis model and to validate the robust and diagnostic accuracy of the model.Results: Thirteen of all the 55 quantitative parameters had significant differences between the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy group and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy group, and 3 of them had significant influences on the classification between the two groups. The training set and the test set were 70 and 23 cases, and the areas under curves of ROC in test set produced from 4-fold cross-validation were 0.939, 0.984, 0.972 and 0.963. The accuracy of the test set corresponding to the best model was 86.96% (20/23).Conclusions: Automatic segmentation of heart in cine MR images based on U-Net neural network can provide more quantification information, which can help to diagnose the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.
