Pulmonary contusion: automated deep learning-based quantitative visualization.

Abstract

PURPOSE: Rapid automated CT volumetry of pulmonary contusion may predict progression to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and help guide early clinical management in at-risk trauma patients. This study aims to train and validate state-of-the-art deep learning models to quantify pulmonary contusion as a percentage of total lung volume (Lung Contusion Index, or auto-LCI) and assess the relationship between auto-LCI and relevant clinical outcomes.
