Popis: A midline shift (MLS) is an important clinical indicator for intracranial hemorrhage. In this study, we proposed a robust, fully automatic neural network-based model for the detection of MLS and compared it with MLSs drawn by clinicians; we also evaluated the clinical applications of the fully automatic model. We recruited 300 consecutive non-contrast CT scans consisting of 7269 slices in this study. Six different types of hemorrhage were included. The automatic detection of MLS was based on modified Keypoint R-CNN with keypoint detection followed by training on the ResNet-FPN-50 backbone. The results were further compared with manually drawn outcomes and manually defined keypoint calculations. Clinical parameters, including Glasgow coma scale (GCS), Glasgow outcome scale (GOS), and 30-day mortality, were also analyzed. The mean absolute error for the automatic detection of an MLS was 0.936 mm compared with the ground truth. The interclass correlation was 0.9899 between the automatic method and MLS drawn by different clinicians. There was high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of MLS at 2 mm (91.7%, 80%) and 5 mm (87.5%, 96.7%) and MLSs greater than 10 mm (85.7%, 97.7%). MLS showed a significant association with initial poor GCS and GCS on day 7 and was inversely correlated with poor 30-day GOS (p < 0.001). In conclusion, automatic detection and calculation of MLS can provide an accurate, robust method for MLS measurement that is clinically comparable to the manually drawn method.
