Purpose Obtain training using the HIPVASC Software Determine inter- and intra-observer correlation coefficients Visual estimation HIPVASC hypoperfusion percentage Determine number of HIPVASC analyses needed to create carpal tunnel syndrome Establish core group to measure IPSG perfusion MRIs with reliability and accuracy
Methods 1 day course, August 24, Dallas, TX Training Sample cases Harry Kim Standardized protocol Sample cases
Methods Each participant given 27 pre-selected MRIs to evaluate Screened for high quality and minimal movement Visual estimation of hypoperfusion 2-3 minutes Scrolling between pre-contrast and subtraction or post-contrast coronal images Measurement of hypoperfusion using HIPVASC software
Methods – HIPVASC Load images Select proper sequence order Scroll through images and determine first and last images that show the femoral head
Methods - HIPVASC For each image Select a Bounding Box Magnify the image Identify the ossified femoral head for each image Draw a line parallel to the physis Select a Bounding Box
Methods – HIPVASC Select the hypovascular area One coronal subtraction of post- contrast image Identify the hypovascular region HIPVASC software to analyze the sequences
Methods Visual estimation of hypovascularity as a percentage Total Non-Vascular Region TNVR (pixels) Total Region of Interest TROI (pixels) Notes Motion artifacts Poor quality subtraction Cannot determine ROI <5% hypoperfused No issues Repeated same measurements at home 4-8 weeks later

Results The Intra-rater reliability of the assessments of each observer immediately after and 1 month after training was measured by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), as a measure of absolute agreement. Intra-rater intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) ranged from 0.77 to 0.96 for the visual estimation of hypoperfusion Intra-rater intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) ranged from 0.74 to 0.95 for the HIPVASC measurement of hypoperfusion Results indicate good to excellent reliability for both methods of assessing the hypoperfusion of an hips affected by early stage disease.
Future 150+ MRIs in the IPSG database Newly identified “reliable” team to evaluate MRIs Each MRI reviewed by 2 team members
Future Do we want to capture data on the lateral third measurements? What to do with poor quality MRIs? Low quality Movement
