Clinical Application of a Low-Dose CBCT AI Model
Low-dose AI-reconstructed CBCT Versus Full-dose CBCT for Guidance of Interventional Procedures: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is an imaging modality used in interventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA). It produces three-dimensional images via cone-beam X-ray scanning and computer reconstruction. Clinically, CBCT guides puncture for pulmonary and hepatic lesions and evaluates post-intervention outcomes in liver cancer and cerebrovascular diseases. However, CBCT-guided interventions carry high patient radiation exposure; dose reduction often degrades image quality and impairs procedural results. Studies report that each 100 mGy radiation increment elevates cancer risk by 1.96-fold.
Artificial intelligence enables low-dose CBCT. Our prior DeepPriorCBCT model embedded anatomical priors using neural discrete representation learning, reducing thoracic CBCT dose to one-sixth of routine protocols while preserving image quality. We further developed DeepPriorCBCT-V2 using 55 000 pre-reconstruction CBCT datasets covering brain, thorax and abdomen. This multi-organ model maintains image quality at one-sixth standard radiation dose. Nevertheless, its real-world clinical performance remains unvalidated. We therefore designed this prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial to evaluate the clinical applicability of DeepPriorCBCT-V2.

实验性的:Participants will receive interventional procedures guided by DeepPriorCBCT-V2.
Patients underwent interventional procedures guided by CBCT images reconstructed via the DeepPriorCBCT-V2 model from low-radiation-dose scans (1/6 of the conventional dose for the thorax and abdomen, and 1/5 for the brain). |
Compared with conventional CBCT-guided interventional procedures and previously reported low-dose CBCT studies, the intervention adopted in the present study has several distinct advantages. First, most existing low-dose CBCT protocols only reduce radiation for a single anatomical region, mainly the thorax, while our DeepPriorCBCT-V2 model achieves stable low-dose reconstruction for the brain, thorax, and abdomen simultaneously, with radiation reduced to 1/6 of the standard clinical level for the thorax and abdomen and 1/5 for the brain. Second, unlike general noise-reduction algorithms used in previous studies, our model embeds anatomical prior information through neural discrete representation learning, which ensures consistent and reliable image quality at extremely low radiation doses without sacrificing intraoperative guidance accuracy. Third, this study is the first prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial to systematically verify the clinical feasibility of multi-orga |

Scoring of reconstructed CBCT images was performed by radiologists and interventional physicians using a 5-point Likert scale. The scale was defined as: 1 = very poor image quality; lesions cannot be assessed and the procedure cannot be guided; 2 = poor image quality; lesion assessment and procedure guidance are difficult; 3 = moderate image quality; lesion assessment is relatively difficult, but procedure guidance is feasible; 4 = good image quality; lesions can be assessed and procedure guidance is achievable; 5 = excellent image quality; lesion assessment is not compromised at all and procedure guidance is fully supported. |
