abstract = {Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) poses a
substantial global health burden, demanding advanced
diagnostic tools for early detection and accurate
phenotyping. In this line, this study seeks to enhance COPD
characterization on chest computed tomography (CT) by
comparing the spatial and quantitative relationships between
traditional parametric response mapping (PRM) and a novel
self-supervised anomaly detection approach, and to unveil
potential additional insights into the dynamic transitional
stages of COPD.Non-contrast inspiratory and expiratory CT of
1,310 never-smoker and GOLD 0 individuals and COPD patients
(GOLD 1-4) from the COPDGene dataset were retrospectively
evaluated. A novel self-supervised anomaly detection
approach was applied to quantify lung abnormalities
associated with COPD, as regional deviations. These regional
anomaly scores were qualitatively and quantitatively
compared, per GOLD class, to PRM volumes (emphysema:
PRMEmph, functional small-airway disease: PRMfSAD) and to a
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Clustering, applied
on the self-supervised latent space. Its relationships to
pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were also evaluated.Initial
t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE)
visualization of the self-supervised latent space
highlighted distinct spatial patterns, revealing clear
separations between regions with and without emphysema and
air trapping. Four stable clusters were identified among
this latent space by the PCA and Cluster Analysis. As the
GOLD stage increased, PRMEmph, PRMfSAD, anomaly score, and
Cluster 3 volumes exhibited escalating trends, contrasting
with a decline in Cluster 2. The patient-wise anomaly scores
significantly differed across GOLD stages (p < 0.01), except
for never-smokers and GOLD 0 patients. In contrast, PRMEmph,
PRMfSAD, and cluster classes showed fewer significant
differences. Pearson correlation coefficients revealed
moderate anomaly score correlations to PFTs (0.41-0.68),
except for the functional residual capacity and smoking
duration. The anomaly score was correlated with PRMEmph (r =
0.66, p < 0.01) and PRMfSAD (r = 0.61, p < 0.01). Anomaly
scores significantly improved fitting of PRM-adjusted
multivariate models for predicting clinical parameters (p <
0.001). Bland-Altman plots revealed that volume agreement
between PRM-derived volumes and clusters was not constant
across the range of measurements.Our study highlights the
synergistic utility of the anomaly detection approach and
traditional PRM in capturing the nuanced heterogeneity of
COPD. The observed disparities in spatial patterns, cluster
dynamics, and correlations with PFTs underscore the distinct
- yet complementary - strengths of these methods.
Integrating anomaly detection and PRM offers a promising
avenue for understanding of COPD pathophysiology,
potentially informing more tailored diagnostic and
intervention approaches to improve patient outcomes.},
