Diffusion-Weighted Imaging-Magnetic Resonance Imaging Information under Class-Structured Deep Convolutional Neural Network Algorithm in the Prognostic Chemotherapy of Osteosarcoma

Abstract

In order to improve the efficiency of early imaging diagnosis of patients with osteosarcoma and the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on the results of imaging examinations, 48 patients with suspected osteosarcoma were selected as the research objects and their diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images were regularized in this study. Then, a DWI-MRI image discrimination model was established based on the class-structured deep convolutional neural network (CSDCNN) algorithm. The peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), and edge preserve index (EPI) were applied to evaluate the image quality after processing by the CSDCNN algorithm; the accuracy, recall rate, precise rate, and F1 score were employed to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of CSDCNN algorithm; the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was adopted to evaluate the therapeutic effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on the CSDCNN algorithm, and SegNet, LeNet, and AlexNet algorithms were introduced for comparison. The results showed that the PSNR, MSE, and EPI values of DWI-MRI images of patients with osteosarcoma were 29.1941, 0.0016, and 0.9688, respectively, after using the CSDCNN algorithm to process the DWI-MRI images. The three indicators were significantly better than other algorithms, and the difference was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ). According to the results of imaging diagnosis of patients with osteosarcoma, there was no significant difference between the assisted diagnosis effect of the CSDCNN algorithm and the pathological examination results ( $P>0.05$ ). The results of adjuvant chemotherapy based on the CSDCNN algorithm found that the ADCmean value of the patients after chemotherapy was 1.66 ± 0.17 and the ADCmin value was 1.33 ± 0.15; the two indicators were significantly higher than other algorithms, and the difference was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ). In conclusion, the CSDCNN algorithm had a good effect on DWI-MRI image processing of patients with osteosarcoma, which could improve the diagnostic accuracy of patients with osteosarcoma. Moreover, the diagnosis results based on this algorithm could achieve better neoadjuvant chemotherapy effects and assist clinicians in imaging diagnosis and clinical treatment of patients with osteosarcoma.
