Abstract

Based on the ordered subsets (OS), a linear augmentation Lagrangian method (OS-LALM) was constructed, which was then combined with the optimized gradient method (OGM) to construct the OS-LALM-OGM, so as to discuss application of the computed tomography (CT) images based on OS-LALM-OGM in evaluation of clinical manifestations and complications of patients before transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The OS-LALM-OGM was compared with the filtered back projection (FBP) and OS-LALM. In addition, it was applied to evaluate the conditions of 128 patients before TAVI. It was found that the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of OS-LALM-OGM was greater than that of the FBP and OS-LALM when the number of iterations was 5, 20, and 40, while the root mean square error (RMSD) was the opposite (P < 0.05). The proportion of dyspnea was the highest, 38.28%, followed by angina (19.53%) and fainting (21.09%). The long diameter of the annulus and the average inner diameter of the annulus measured by the CT image based on the OS-LALM-OGM algorithm were greatly larger than the inner diameter of the aortic annulus measured by the CT based on the FBP algorithm (P < 0.05); the evaluation sensitivity (95.24%) and specificity (85.85%) of CT based on the OS-LALM-OGM algorithm were obviously greater than those of X-ray, which were 84.43% and 76.77%, respectively (P < 0.05). In short, the OS-LALM-OGM proposed had a relatively excellent effect on CT image reconstruction. The CT image based on the OS-LALM-OGM algorithm showed a better evaluation performance for patients before TAVI than the traditional FBP algorithm, showing higher sensitivity and specificity.
