This study aims to improve the diagnostic accuracy of sacroiliitis by applying advanced machine learning techniques to computed tomography (CT) images.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods We employed five convolutional neural network (CNN) models\u2014Visual Geometry Group 16-layer Network (VGG16), ResNet101, DenseNet, Inception-v4, and ResNeXt-50\u2014to analyze a dataset of 830 CT images, including both sacroiliitis and non-sacroiliitis cases. Each model's performance was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), and Area Under the Curve (AUC). The interpretability of the models' decisions was enhanced using Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) visualization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results The ResNeXt-50 and Inception-v4 models demonstrated superior performance, achieving the highest accuracy and F1 scores among the tested models. Grad-CAM visualizations offered insights into the decision-making processes, highlighting the models' focus on relevant anatomical features critical for accurate diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion The use of CNN models, particularly ResNeXt-50 and Inception-v4, significantly improves the diagnosis of sacroiliitis from CT images. These models not only provide high diagnostic accuracy but also offer transparency in their decision-making processes, aiding clinicians in understanding and trusting Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12968\/hmed.2024.0228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]],"date-time":"2024-08-30T05:50:59Z","timestamp":1724997059000},"page":"1-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Enhancing the Diagnostic Accuracy of Sacroiliitis: A Machine Learning Approach Applied to Computed Tomography Imaging"],"prefix":"10.31083","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Qingsong","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Ningbo No. 2 Hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xueru","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography & Spatial Information Techniques, Ningbo University, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinyou","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Ningbo No. 2 Hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weibin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Ningbo No. 2 Hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiakai","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Ningbo No. 2 Hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinhua","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Ningbo No. 2 Hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"16242","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/clinpract14010009"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ICIP46576.2022.9898039"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13075-021-02484-0"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12092235"},{"key":"B5","first-page":"5904","volume":"8","author":"Cui Y","year":"2015","journal-title":"International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ICCES48960.2019.9068110"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/JPR.S279390"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2022.3165193"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/CVPR.2016.90"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/CVPR.2017.243"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2013.10.001"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00256-022-04177-4"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5507\/bp.2021.008"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics11071156"},{"key":"B15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rheumatology\/keac059"},{"key":"B16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2023.110793"},{"key":"B17","first-page":"1718","volume":"41","author":"Quon JL","year":"2020","journal-title":"AJNR.
