Objective To propose a lung artery segmentation method that integrates shape and position prior knowledge, aiming to solve the issues of inaccurate segmentation caused by the high similarity and small size differences between the lung arteries and surrounding tissues in CT images. Methods Based on the three-dimensional U-Net network architecture and relying on the PARSE 2022 database image data, shape and position prior knowledge was introduced to design feature extraction and fusion strategies to enhance the ability of lung artery segmentation. The data of the patients were divided into three groups: a training set, a validation set, and a test set. The performance metrics for evaluating the model included Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), sensitivity, accuracy, and Hausdorff distance (HD95). Results The study included lung artery imaging data from 203 patients, including 100 patients in the training set, 30 patients in the validation set, and 73 patients in the test set. Through the backbone network, a rough segmentation of the lung arteries was performed to obtain a complete vascular structure; the branch network integrating shape and position information was used to extract features of small pulmonary arteries, reducing interference from the pulmonary artery trunk and left and right pulmonary arteries. Experimental results showed that the segmentation model based on shape and position prior knowledge had a higher DSC (82.81%±3.20% vs. 80.47%±3.17% vs. 80.36%±3.43%), sensitivity (85.30%±8.04% vs. 80.95%±6.89% vs. 82.82%±7.29%), and accuracy (81.63%±7.53% vs. 81.19%±8.35% vs. 79.36%±8.98%) compared to traditional three-dimensional U-Net and V-Net methods. HD95 could reach (9.52±4.29) mm, which was 6.05 mm shorter than traditional methods, showing excellent performance in segmentation boundaries. Conclusion The lung artery segmentation method based on shape and position prior knowledge can achieve precise segmentation of lung artery vessels and has potential application value in tasks such as bronchoscopy or percutaneous puncture surgery navigation.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the literature quality of systematic reviews/Meta-analysis of oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) using radar plot, and to provide scientific and effective evidence for clinical use of medicine. METHODS: Retrieving CNKI, VIP, Wanfang database, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane library and Embase during the establishement of database to Oct. 1st, 2018, the literatures about systematic reviews/Meta-analysis of oral administration of TCM in the treatment of LDH were collected. After data extraction of literatures met inclusion criteria, the quality literatures were evaluated from 6 aspects of radar plot (year of publication, design type, AMSTAR methodological quality evaluation, PRISMA reprot quality evaluation, homogeneous, publication bias risk). The average score of rank number was calculated. Moreover, Excel 2010, Adobe Illustrator CC and other software were used to draw and optimize the radar plot. RESULTS: A total of 6 qualified literatures were included; average score of rank number of 6 aspects were 3.83, 4.67, 3.83, 3.67, 6.00, 4.67, scoring 4.56 in average. Multivariate evaluation of radar plot showed that 2 studies had higher qualities and only 1 study had lower qualities relatively. However, problems could be found such as information selection bias, inclusion and exclusion criteria, publication situation, limitations, project registration. CONCLUSIONS: The literature quality of systematic review/Meta-analysis of oral administration of TCM in the treatment of LDH need to be improved, starting with strengthening methodological quality and reporting quality. Radar plot is a visual and effective method of graphic evaluation, which is worth popularizing and applying in the future.
