摘要:

目的 探索上海、浙江、江苏地区男性青少年手腕部MRI在骨龄评估中的价值。 方法 选取124例上海、浙江、江苏地区6.0~18.0岁汉族男性作为研究对象,测量身高、体质量,对其手腕部行T1WI、T2WI序列扫描。获取手腕部MRI图像后,选择桡骨、尺骨、第一至五掌骨干骺端及对应骨骺作为观察指标,由一名副高级影像学专家对各指标的发育情况进行分级(0~2级),另一名专家测量各指标的最大宽度。将身高、体质量、各指标分级及最大宽度测量值等作为输入变量,年龄作为目标变量,利用SPSS Modeler软件建立支持向量机、随机森林、当前现实树、线性回归模型评估骨龄,并选取准确率最高的模型。 结果 身高、体质量、手腕骨骨骺发育分级、各骨干骺端及对应骨骺的最大宽度均与年龄存在相关性(P<0.05)。骨龄与实际生活年龄差值在1.0岁与1.5岁以内准确率最高的模型均为支持向量机(88.7%、96.0%)。 结论 MRI图像用于骨龄评估具有可行性,量化骨骺及对应骨骼干骺端最大宽度并结合MRI图像分级法可有效减少预测误差。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the value of wrist MRI in bone age estimation for male adolescents in Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Methods A total of 124 Han male adolescents aged 6.0 to 18.0 years from Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu were selected as subjects. Their weight and height were measured, and T1WI and T2WI sequences of the wrist were scanned. The distal ends of the radius and ulna, and the first to five metacarpal epiphyses and corresponding metaphyses were selected as observational indexes after MRI images of the wrist were obtained. The development of each index was classified (0-2 grades) by a deputy senior imaging expert, then the maximum width of each index was measured by another deputy senior expert. Height, weight, classification and maximum width of indexes were used as input variables, and age was used as the target variable. Support vector machine, random forest, current reality tree, and linear regression models were established to estimate the bone age, and the model with the highest accuracy was selected. Results The height, weight, classification of wrist bone epiphysis development, maximum width of each bone metaphysis and epiphysis were all correlated with age (P<0.05). The accuracies of the support vector machine were the highest when the differences between bone age and actual chronological age were within 1.0 and 1.5 years (88.7% and 96.0%, respectively). Conclusion It is feasible to estimate bone age by using MRI images. Quantifying the maximum width of the epiphysis and corresponding metaphysis of bone and combining it with MRI image classification can effectively reduce the estimation error.
