摘要

This paper reports an innovative approach to the classification of Stanford Type A and Type B aortic dissection using 3D CNN in conjunction with a novel Guided Attention (GA) mechanism. Recently, Computerized Tomography (CT) scan is increasingly applied for diagnoses of aortic dissection, and AI-assisted technology has been proven effective in increasing the productivity of radiologists. However, the general 3D CNN method even takes advantage of spatial continuity is not able to focus on the torn region of the aorta. In contrast, we propose an innovative approach termed the 'External Guided Attention' (EGA), which is capable of focusing on both global and local features and guiding the model to learn key representative of the lesion. The scheme has been modified such that inputs of grayscale images combining with EGA channels can be trained and fine-tuned like regular RGB image inputs, so the pre-trained model on RGB video sequences can be utilized. Finally, we demonstrate that our new approach significantly outperforms other attention methods on categorizing Stanford Type-A and Type-B aortic dissection where the accuracy of 0.991 and an AUC of 0.994 are achieved in our untrimmed test dataset.
