BACKGROUND

Over the recent decades, the number of different manufacturers and models of cerebrospinal fluid shunt valves constantly increased. Proper identification of shunt valves on X-ray images is crucial to neurosurgeons and radiologists to derive further details of a specific shunt valve, such as opening pressure settings and MR scanning conditions. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of an AI-assisted shunt valve detection system.

METHODS

The dataset used contains 2070 anonymized images of ten different, commonly used shunt valve types. All images were acquired from skull X-rays or scout CT-images. The images were randomly split into a 80% training and 20% validation set. An implementation in Python with the FastAi library was used to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) using a transfer learning method on a pre-trained model.

RESULTS

Overall, our model achieved an F1-score of 99% to predict the correct shunt valve model. F1-scores for individual shunt valves ranged from 92% for the Sophysa Sophy Mini SM8 to 100% for several other models.

CONCLUSION

This technology has the potential to automatically detect different shunt valve models in a fast and precise way and may facilitate the identification of an unknown shunt valve on X-ray or CT scout images. The deep learning model we developed could be integrated into PACS systems or standalone mobile applications to enhance clinical workflows.
