Pulmonary Imaging Phenotypes of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Using Multiparametric Response Maps
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Pulmonary imaging of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has focused on CT or MRI measurements, but these have not been evaluated in combination. Purpose To generate multiparametric response map (mPRM) measurements in ex-smokers with or without COPD by using volume-matched CT and hyperpolarized helium 3 (3He) MRI. Materials and Methods In this prospective study (https://clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02279329), participants underwent MRI and CT and completed pulmonary function tests, questionnaires, and the 6-minute walk test between December 2010 and January 2019. Disease status was determined by using Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria. The mPRM voxel values were generated by using co-registered MRI and CT labels. Kruskal-Wallis and Bonferroni tests were used to determine differences across disease severity, and correlations were determined by using Spearman coefficients. Results A total of 175 ex-smokers (mean age, 69 years ± 9 [standard deviation], 108 men) with or without COPD were evaluated. Ex-smokers without COPD had a larger fraction of normal mPRM voxels (60% vs 37%, 20%, and 7% for GOLD I, II, and III/IV disease, respectively; all P ≤ .001) and a smaller fraction of abnormal voxels, including small airways disease (normal CT, not ventilated: 5% vs 6% [not significant], 11%, and 19% [P ≤ .001 for both] for GOLD I, II, and III/IV disease, respectively) and mild emphysema (normal CT, abnormal apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC]: 33% vs 54%, 56%, and 54% for GOLD I, II, and III/IV disease respectively; all P ≤ .001). Normal mPRM measurements were positively correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (r = 0.65, P < .001), the FEV1-to–forced vital capacity ratio (r = 0.81, P < .001), and diffusing capacity (r = 0.75, P < .001) and were negatively correlated with worse quality of life (r = −0.48, P < .001). Abnormal mPRM measurements of small airways disease (normal CT, not ventilated) and mild emphysema (normal CT, abnormal ADC) were negatively correlated with FEV1 (r = −0.65 and −0.42, respectively; P < .001) and diffusing capacity (r = −0.53 and −0.60, respectively; P < .001) and were positively correlated with worse quality of life (r = 0.45 and r = 0.33, respectively; P < .001), both of which were present in ex-smokers without COPD. Conclusion Multiparametric response maps revealed two abnormal structure-function results related to emphysema and small airways disease, both of which were unexpectedly present in ex-smokers with normal spirometry and CT findings. © RSNA, 2020 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
