초록

In the field of nuclear medicine, errors are sometimes generated because the assessment of the uniformity of gamma cameras relies on the naked eye of the evaluator. To minimize these errors, we created an artificial intelligence model based on CNN algorithm and wanted to assess its usefulness. We produced 20,000 normal images and partial cold region images using Python, and conducted artificial intelligence training with Resnet18 models. The training results showed that accuracy, specificity and sensitivity were 95.01%, 92.30%, and 97.73%, respectively. According to the results of the evaluation of the confusion matrix of artificial intelligence and expert groups, artificial intelligence was accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of 94.00%, 91.50%, and 96.80%, respectively, and expert groups was accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of 69.00%, 64.00%, and 74.00%, respectively. The results showed that artificial intelligence was better than expert groups. In addition, by checking together with the radiological technologist and AI, errors that may occur during the quality control process can be reduced, providing a better examination environment for patients, providing convenience to radiologists, and improving work efficiency.
