Modeling Radiologist Decision on Presence of an Intestinal Stricture Using Automated Measures

a Stricture Present, Defined as Relative Lumen Narrowing, Bowel Wall Thickening and Upstream Dilation
Odds Ratio 95% Confidence Limits P
DIL Max 1.22 1.10 1.36 <0.001
LUM Min 0.60 0.00 1.12 0.060
b Stricture Suspected, Upstream Bowel Dilation Not Required
Odds Ratio 95% Confidence Limits P
LUM min 0.37 0.02, 0.81 0.009
DIL max 2.60 1.51, 4.46 <0.001
BWT max 1.58 1.03, 2.41 0.034

aModels of radiologist identification of small bowel stricture using automatic bowel measurements had an AuROC of 0.857 with an accuracy of 87.6%. Bowel wall thickness was automatically dropped from this model due to co-linearity and no contribution to model fit as a result of maximum bowel diameter dominating model performance.

bModels of radiologists’ identification of a possible stricture suspected, where explicit need for small bowel dilation >30 mm was not required, had an AuROC of 0.917 and accuracy of 84.4%.
