Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of a deep learning network for detection of structural lesions of sacroiliitis on multicentre pelvic CT scans. Methods: Pelvic CT scans of 145 patients (81 female, 121 Ghent University/24 Alberta University, 18–87 years old, mean 40 ± 13 years, 2005–2021) with a clinical suspicion of sacroiliitis were retrospectively included. After manual sacroiliac joint (SIJ) segmentation and structural lesion annotation, a U-Net for SIJ segmentation and two separate convolutional neural networks (CNN) for erosion and ankylosis detection were trained. In-training validation and tenfold validation testing (U-Net—n = 10 × 58; CNN—n = 10 × 29) on a test dataset were performed to assess performance on a slice-by-slice and patient level (dice coefficient/accuracy/sensitivity/specificity/positive and negative predictive value/ROC AUC). Patient-level optimisation was applied to increase the performance regarding predefined statistical metrics. Gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM++) heatmap explainability analysis highlighted image parts with statistically important regions for algorithmic decisions. Results: Regarding SIJ segmentation, a dice coefficient of 0.75 was obtained in the test dataset. For slice-by-slice structural lesion detection, a sensitivity/specificity/ROC AUC of 95%/89%/0.92 and 93%/91%/0.91 were obtained in the test dataset for erosion and ankylosis detection, respectively. For patient-level lesion detection after pipeline optimisation for predefined statistical metrics, a sensitivity/specificity of 95%/85% and 82%/97% were obtained for erosion and ankylosis detection, respectively. Grad-CAM++ explainability analysis highlighted cortical edges as focus for pipeline decisions. Conclusions: An optimised deep learning pipeline, including an explainability analysis, detects structural lesions of sacroiliitis on pelvic CT scans with excellent statistical performance on a slice-by-slice and patient level. Clinical relevance statement: An optimised deep learning pipeline, including a robust explainability analysis, detects structural lesions of sacroiliitis on pelvic CT scans with excellent statistical metrics on a slice-by-slice and patient level. Key Points: • Structural lesions of sacroiliitis can be detected automatically in pelvic CT scans. • Both automatic segmentation and disease detection yield excellent statistical outcome metrics. • The algorithm takes decisions based on cortical edges, rendering an explainable solution.
