abstract = {To quantify regional manifestations related to COPD as
anomalies from a modeled distribution of normal-appearing
lung on chest CT using a deep learning (DL) approach, and to
assess its potential to predict disease severity.Paired
inspiratory/expiratory CT and clinical data from COPDGene
and COSYCONET cohort studies were included. COPDGene data
served as training/validation/test data sets (N =
3144/786/1310) and COSYCONET as external test set (N = 446).
To differentiate low-risk (healthy/minimal disease, [GOLD
0]) from COPD patients (GOLD 1-4), the self-supervised DL
model learned semantic information from 50 × 50 × 50 voxel
samples from segmented intact lungs. An anomaly detection
approach was trained to quantify lung abnormalities related
to COPD, as regional deviations. Four supervised DL models
were run for comparison. The clinical and radiological
predictive power of the proposed anomaly score was assessed
using linear mixed effects models (LMM).The proposed
approach achieved an area under the curve of 84.3 ± 0.3 (p
< 0.001) for COPDGene and 76.3 ± 0.6 (p < 0.001) for
COSYCONET, outperforming supervised models even when
including only inspiratory CT. Anomaly scores significantly
improved fitting of LMM for predicting lung function, health
status, and quantitative CT features (emphysema/air
trapping; p < 0.001). Higher anomaly scores were
significantly associated with exacerbations for both cohorts
(p < 0.001) and greater dyspnea scores for COPDGene (p <
0.001).Quantifying heterogeneous COPD manifestations as
anomaly offers advantages over supervised methods and was
found to be predictive for lung function impairment and
morphology deterioration.Using deep learning, lung
manifestations of COPD can be identified as deviations from
normal-appearing chest CT and attributed an anomaly score
which is consistent with decreased pulmonary function,
emphysema, and air trapping.• A self-supervised DL anomaly
detection method discriminated low-risk individuals and COPD
subjects, outperforming classic DL methods on two datasets
(COPDGene AUC = $84.3\%,$ COSYCONET AUC = $76.3\%).$ • Our
contrastive task exhibits robust performance even without
the inclusion of expiratory images, while voxel-based
methods demonstrate significant performance enhancement when
incorporating expiratory images, in the COPDGene dataset.
• Anomaly scores improved the fitting of linear mixed
effects models in predicting clinical parameters and imaging
alterations (p < 0.001) and were directly associated with
clinical outcomes (p < 0.001).},
