The paper presents a novel framework for the prediction of the raised Intracranial Pressure (ICP) from ocular ultrasound images of traumatic patients through automated measurement of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) and Eyeball Transverse Diameter (ETD). The measurement of ONSD using an ocular ultrasound scan is non-invasive and correlates with the raised ICP. However, the existing studies suggested that the ONSD value alone is insufficient to indicate the ICP condition. Since the ONSD and ETD values may vary among patients belonging to different ethnicity/origins, there is a need for developing an independent global biomarker for predicting raised ICP condition. The proposed work develops an automated framework for the prediction of raised ICP by developing algorithms for the automated measurement of ONSD and ETD values. It is established that the ONSD and ETD ratio (OER) is a potential biomarker for ICP prediction independent of ethnicity and origin. The OER threshold value is determined by performing statistical analysis on the data of 57 trauma patients obtained from the AIIMS, New Delhi. The automated OER is computed and compared with the conventionally measured ICP by determining suitable correlation coefficients. It is found that there is a significant correlation of OER with ICP (r =.81, p ≤.01), whereas the correlation of ONSD alone with ICP is relatively less (r =.69, p =.004). These correlation values indicate that OER is a better parameter for the prediction of ICP. Further, the threshold value of OER is found to be 0.21 for predicting raised ICP conditions in this study. Scatter plot and Heat map analysis of OER and corresponding ICP reveal that patients with OER ≥ 0.21, have ICP in the range of 17 to 35 mm Hg. In the data available for this research work, OER ranges from 0.17 to 0.35. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
