Artificial Intelligence Segmentation Model-Based Computed Tomography Angiography Image in the Diagnosis of Congenital Aortic Constriction

This study was to analyze the impacts of the image segmentation model and computed tomography angiography (CTA) on the clinical diagnosis of aortic constriction under the background of artificial intelligence. In this study, 126 patients with congenital aortic constriction (CAC) diagnosed by surgery were selected as the research objects and routine digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and CTA were performed. Then, the traditional active contour model (AC model) was optimized based on the local area information to construct a new image segmentation model for intelligent segmentation and reconstruction of the CTA images of patients. The results revealed that compared with the AC model and the image segmentation model based on region growth (RG model) obtained from angiography segmentation, the algorithm constructed in this study showed a smaller segmentation range for angiography images and more accurate segmentation results. The quantitative data results suggested that the evolution times and running time of the constructed model were less than those of the AC and RG models P < 0.05 . Based on the gold standard of DSA examination results, there were 122 correctly diagnosed cases, 3 missed diagnosed cases, and 1 misdiagnosed by CTA, so the diagnosis coincidence rate was 96.83%. Compared with DSA, the average inner diameter and average pressure difference of patients with precatheter, paracatheter, and postcatheter type were not greatly different in CTA P > 0.05 . The CTA examination suggested there were 154 cases with intracardiac structural abnormalities, with a detection rate of 86.52%; there were 32 cases of cardiac-vascular connection abnormalities, with a detection rate of 100%; and there were 79 extracardiac vascular abnormalities, with the detection rate of 95.18%. It indicated that the optimized image segmentation model based on local area information proposed in this paper has excellent segmentation performance for CT angiography images and has good segmentation effect and efficiency. The CTA based on the artificial intelligence image segmentation model showed a better diagnostic effect on abnormal heart-vascular connection and abnormal extracardiac blood vessels and can be used as an effective examination method for clinical diagnosis of CAC.
