Detection of the rotator cuff tears using a novel convolutional neural network from magnetic resonance image (MRI)

The rotator cuff tear is a common situation for basketballers, handballers, or other athletes that strongly use their shoulders.

Sumario:The rotator cuff tear is a common situation for basketballers, handballers, or other athletes that strongly use their shoulders. This injury can be diagnosed precisely from a magnetic resonance (MR) image. In this paper, a novel deep learning-based framework is proposed to diagnose rotator cuff tear from MRI images of patients suspected of the rotator cuff tear. First, we collected 150 shoulders MRI images from two classes of rotator cuff tear patients and healthy ones with the same numbers. These images were observed by an orthopedic specialist and then tagged and used as input in the various configurations of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). At this stage, five different configurations of convolutional networks have been examined. Then, in the next step, the selected network with the highest accuracy is used to extract the deep features and classify the two classes of rotator cuff tear and healthy. Also, MRI images are feed to two quick pre-trained CNNs (MobileNetv2 and SqueezeNet) to compare with the proposed CNN. Finally, the evaluation is performed using the 5-fold cross-validation method. Also, a specific Graphical User Interface (GUI) was designed in the MATLAB environment for simplicity, which allows for testing by detecting the image class. The proposed CNN achieved higher accuracy than the two mentioned pre-trained CNNs. The average accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity achieved by the best selected CNN configuration are equal to 92.67%, 91.13%, 91.75%, and 92.22%, respectively. The deep learning algorithm could accurately rule out significant rotator cuff tear based on shoulder MRI.
