Liang Y, Wei Y, Xu F, Wei X. MRI-based radiomic models for the preoperative prediction of extramural venous invasion in rectal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Imaging 2024; 110:110146. [PMID: 38697000 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2024.110146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024]
Abstract
AIM To estimate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomic models in detecting the extramural venous invasion (EMVI) of rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Appropriate studies in multiple electronic databases were systematically retrieved. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 and Radiomics Quality Score (RQS) were used to evaluate the eligible studies' methodology quality. Summary accuracy metrics were calculated, and the publication bias was detected using Deek's funnel plot. The sensitivity and meta-regression analysis were performed to investigate the causes of heterogeneity. RESULTS For the seven eligible studies, which included 1175 patients, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio were 0.80 (95 % CI, 0.70-0.88), 0.89 (95 % CI, 0.84-0.92), 7.0 (95 % CI, 4.7, 10.4), 0.22 (95 % CI, 0.14, 0.34), and 32 (95 % CI, 16, 65), respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.91 (95 % CI, 0.88, 0.93). Moderate heterogeneity was found due to I2 values of 38.63 % and 32.29 % in sensitivity and specificity, respectively. Meta-regression analysis suggested that the patient enrollment, number of patients, segmentation method, and RQS score were the source of the heterogeneity. The head-to-head analysis suggested that radiomics model had a higher sensitivity for detection of EMVI than subjective evaluation by radiologist (0.47 vs. 0.73, p ≤ 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that MRI-based radiomic models have good diagnostic value in detecting EMVI for rectal cancer patients. Nevertheless, more prospective and high-quality studies with larger sample sizes are needed in the future to validate these results.

Radiother Oncol 2024; 196:110325. [PMID: 38734145 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the performance of ML in detecting genetic mutation status in NSCLC patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science up until July 2023. We discussed the genetic mutation status of EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and BRAF, as well as the mutation status at different sites of EGFR. RESULTS We included a total of 128 original studies, of which 114 constructed ML models based on radiomic features mainly extracted from CT, MRI, and PET-CT data. From a genetic mutation perspective, 121 studies focused on EGFR mutation status analysis. In the validation set, for the detection of EGFR mutation status, the aggregated c-index was 0.760 (95%CI: 0.706-0.814) for clinical feature-based models, 0.772 (95%CI: 0.753-0.791) for CT-based radiomics models, 0.816 (95%CI: 0.776-0.856) for MRI-based radiomics models, and 0.750 (95%CI: 0.712-0.789) for PET-CT-based radiomics models. When combined with clinical features, the aggregated c-index was 0.807 (95%CI: 0.781-0.832) for CT-based radiomics models, 0.806 (95%CI: 0.773-0.839) for MRI-based radiomics models, and 0.822 (95%CI: 0.789-0.854) for PET-CT-based radiomics models. In the validation set, the aggregated c-indexes for radiomics-based models to detect mutation status of ALK and KRAS, as well as the mutation status at different sites of EGFR were all greater than 0.7. CONCLUSION The use of radiomics-based methods for early discrimination of EGFR mutation status in NSCLC demonstrates relatively high accuracy. However, the influence of clinical variables cannot be overlooked in this process. In addition, future studies should also pay attention to the accuracy of radiomics in identifying mutation status of other genes in EGFR.

Development and Validation of a Machine Learning-Based Model Using CT Radiomics for Predicting Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-related Pneumonitis in Patients With NSCLC Receiving Anti-PD1 Immunotherapy: A Multicenter Retrospective CaseControl Study. Acad Radiol 2024; 31:2128-2143. [PMID: 37977890 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.10.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop and evaluate a radiomics-based model combined with clinical and qualitative radiological (semantic feature [SF]) features to predict immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a multicenter retrospective casecontrol study conducted from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022, at three centers. Patients with NSCLC treated with anti-PD1 were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups (7:3): training (n = 95) and validation (n = 39). Logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms were used to transform features into the models. RESULTS The study comprised 134 participants from three independent centers (male, 114/134, 85%; mean [±standard deviation] age, 63.92 [±7.9] years). The radiomics score (RS) models built based on the LR and SVM algorithms could accurately predict CIP (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve [AUC], 0.860 [0.780, 0.939] and 0.861 [0.781, 0.941], respectively). The AUCs for the RS-clinic-SF combined model were 0.903 (0.839, 0.967) and 0.826 (0.688, 0.964) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Decision curve analysis showed that the combined models achieved high clinical net benefit across the majority of the range of reasonable threshold probabilities. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the combined model constructed by the identified features of RS, clinical features, and SF has the potential to precisely predict CIP. The RS-clinic-SF combined model has the potential to be used more widely as a practical tool for the noninvasive prediction of CIP to support individualized treatment planning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ultrasound-based radiomics has demonstrated excellent diagnostic performance in differentiating benign and malignant breast masses. Given a few clinical studies on their diagnostic role, we conducted a meta-analysis of the potential effects of ultrasound-based radiomics for the differential diagnosis of breast masses, aiming to provide evidence-based medical basis for clinical research. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and PubMed databases from inception through to February 2023. The methodological quality assessment of the included studies was performed according to Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies checklist. A diagnostic test accuracy systematic review and meta-analysis was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Sensitivity, specificity, and area under curve delineating benign and malignant lesions were recorded. We also used sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis to explore potential sources of heterogeneity. Deeks' funnel plots was used to examine the publication bias. RESULTS A total of 11 studies were included in this meta-analysis. For the diagnosis of malignant breast masses worldwide, the overall mean rates of sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound-based radiomics were 0.90 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83-0.95) and 0.89 (95% CI, 0.82-0.94), respectively. The summary diagnostic odds ratio was 76 (95% CI, 26-219), and the area under the curve for the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.93-0.97). CONCLUSION Ultrasound-based radiomics has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy to discriminate between benign and malignant breast masses, and could reduce unnecessary biopsies.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To explore and externally validate habitat-based radiomics for preoperative prediction of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in exon 19 and 21 from MRI imaging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)-originated brain metastasis (BM). METHODS A total of 170, 62 and 61 patients from center 1, center 2 and center 3, respectively were included. All patients underwent contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1CE) and T2-weighted (T2W) MRI scans. Radiomics features were extracted from the tumor active (TA) and peritumoral edema (PE) regions in each MRI slice. The most important features were selected by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to develop radiomics signatures based on TA (RS-TA), PE (RS-PE) and their combination (RS-Com). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to access performance of radiomics models for both internal and external validation cohorts. RESULTS 10, four and six most predictive features were identified to be strongly associated with the EGFR mutation status, exon 19 and exon 21, respectively. The RSs derived from the PE region outperformed those from the TA region for predicting the EGFR mutation, exon 19 and exon 21. The RS-Coms generated the highest performance in the primary training (AUCs, RS-EGFR-Com vs. RS-exon 19-Com vs. RS-exon 21-Com, 0.955 vs. 0.946 vs. 0.928), internal validation (AUCs, RS-EGFR-Com vs. RS-exon 19-Com vs. RS-exon 21-Com, 0.879 vs. 0.819 vs. 0.882), external validation 1 (AUCs, RS-EGFR-Com vs. RS-exon 19-Com vs. RS-exon 21-Com, 0.830 vs. 0.825 vs. 0.822), and external validation 2 (AUCs, RS-EGFR-Com vs. RS-exon 19-Com vs. RS-exon 21-Com, 0.812 vs. 0.818 vs. 0.800) cohort. CONCLUSION The developed habitat-based radiomics model can be used to accurately predict the EGFR mutation subtypes, which may potentially guide personalized treatments for NSCLC patients with BM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study combined two novel approaches in oncology patient outcome predictions-body composition and radiomic features analysis. The aim of this study was to validate whether automatically extracted muscle and adipose tissue radiomic features could be used as a predictor of survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS The study included 178 patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving concurrent platinum-based chemoradiotherapy. Abdominal imaging was conducted as a part of whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography performed before therapy. Methods used included automated assessment of the volume of interest using densely connected convolutional network classification model - DenseNet121, automated muscle and adipose tissue segmentation using U-net architecture implemented in nnUnet framework, and radiomic features extraction. Acquired body composition radiomic features and clinical data were used for overall and 1-y survival prediction using machine learning classification algorithms. RESULTS The volume of interest detection model achieved the following metric scores: 0.98 accuracy, 0.89 precision, 0.96 recall, and 0.92 F1 score. Automated segmentation achieved a median dice coefficient >0.99 in all segmented regions. We extracted 330 body composition radiomic features for every patient. For overall survival prediction using clinical and radiomic data, the best-performing feature selection and prediction method achieved areas under the curve-receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) of 0.73 (P < 0.05); for 1-y survival prediction AUC-ROC was 0.74 (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Automatically extracted muscle and adipose tissue radiomic features could be used as a predictor of survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
In 2020, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) started a 4-year scientific collaboration to approach complex new data modalities and advanced analytics. The scientific question was to find novel radio-genomics-based prognostic and predictive factors for HR+/HER- metastatic breast cancer under a Research Collaboration Agreement. This collaboration has been providing valuable insights to help successfully implement future scientific projects, particularly using artificial intelligence and machine learning. This tutorial aims to provide tangible guidelines for a multi-omics project that includes multidisciplinary expert teams, spanning across different institutions. We cover key ideas, such as "maintaining effective communication" and "following good data science practices," followed by the four steps of exploratory projects, namely (1) plan, (2) design, (3) develop, and (4) disseminate. We break each step into smaller concepts with strategies for implementation and provide illustrations from our collaboration to further give the readers actionable guidance.

Nomograms based on multiparametric MRI radiomics integrated with clinical-radiological features for predicting the response to induction chemotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Eur J Radiol 2024; 175:111438. [PMID: 38613869 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish nomograms integrating multiparametric MRI radiomics with clinical-radiological features to identify the responders and non-responders to induction chemotherapy (ICT) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and MRI data of 168 NPC patients between December 2015 and April 2022. We used 3D-Slicer to segment the regions of interest (ROIs) and the "Pyradiomic" package to extract radiomics features. We applied the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to select radiomics features. We developed clinical-only, radiomics-only, and the combined clinical-radiomics nomograms using logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curves, DeLong test, calibration, and decision curves were used to assess the discriminative performance of the models. The model was internally validated using 10-fold cross-validation. RESULTS A total of 14 optimal features were finally selected to develop a radiomic signature, with an AUC of 0.891 (95 % CI, 0.825-0.946) in the training cohort and 0.837 (95 % CI, 0.723-0.932) in the testing cohort. The nomogram based on the Rad-Score and clinical-radiological factors for evaluating tumor response to ICT yielded an AUC of 0.926 (95 % CI, 0.875-0.965) and 0.901 (95 % CI, 0.815-0.979) in the two cohorts, respectively. Decision curves demonstrated that the combined clinical-radiomics nomograms were clinically useful. CONCLUSION Nomograms integrating multiparametric MRI-based radiomics and clinical-radiological features could non-invasively discriminate ICT responders from non-responders in NPC patients.

Enhancing the prediction of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis for locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer by combining 3D deep learning-derived imaging features with dose-volume metrics: a two-center study. Strahlenther Onkol 2024:10.1007/s00066-024-02221-x. [PMID: 38498173 DOI: 10.1007/s00066-024-02221-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to examine the ability of deep learning (DL)-derived imaging features for the prediction of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study cohort consisted of 90 patients from the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and 59 patients from the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University. Occurrences of RP were used as the endpoint event. A total of 512 3D DL-derived features were extracted from two regions of interest (lung-PTV and PTV-GTV) delineated on the pre-radiotherapy planning CT. Feature selection was done using LASSO regression, and the classification models were built using the multilayered perceptron method. Performances of the developed models were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. In addition, the developed models were supplemented with clinical variables and dose-volume metrics of relevance to search for increased predictive value. RESULTS The predictive model using DL features derived from lung-PTV outperformed the one based on features extracted from PTV-GTV, with AUCs of 0.921 and 0.892, respectively, in the internal test dataset. Furthermore, incorporating the dose-volume metric V30Gy into the predictive model using features from lung-PTV resulted in an improvement of AUCs from 0.835 to 0.881 for the training data and from 0.690 to 0.746 for the validation data, respectively (DeLong p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Imaging features extracted from pre-radiotherapy planning CT using 3D DL networks could predict radiation pneumonitis and may be of clinical value for risk stratification and toxicity management in LA-NSCLC patients. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Integrating DL-derived features with dose-volume metrics provides a promising noninvasive method to predict radiation pneumonitis in LA-NSCLC lung cancer radiotherapy, thus improving individualized treatment and patient outcomes.

Abstract
Radiological and nuclear medicine methods play a fundamental role in the diagnosis and staging of patients with lung cancer. Imaging is essential in the detection, characterisation, staging and follow-up of lung cancer. Due to the increasing evidence, low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) screening for the early detection of lung cancer is being introduced to the clinical routine in several countries. Radiomics and radiogenomics are emerging fields reliant on artificial intelligence to improve diagnosis and personalised risk stratification. Ultrasound- and CT-guided interventions are minimally invasive methods for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary malignancies. In this review, we put more emphasis on the new developments in the imaging of lung cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the added value of radiomics models from preoperative chest CT in predicting the presence of spread through air spaces (STAS) in the early stage of surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas using multiple validation datasets. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 550 early-stage surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas in 521 patients, classified into training, test, internal validation, and temporal validation sets (n=211, 90, 91, and 158, respectively). Radiomics features were extracted from the segmented tumors on preoperative chest CT, and a radiomics score (Rad-score) was calculated to predict the presence of STAS. Diagnostic performance of the conventional model and the combined model, based on a combination of conventional and radiomics features, for the diagnosis of the presence of STAS were compared using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Rad-score was significantly higher in the STAS-positive group compared to the STAS-negative group in the training, test, internal, and temporal validation sets. The performance of the combined model was significantly higher than that of the conventional model in the training set {AUC: 0.784 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.722-0.846] vs. AUC: 0.815 (95% CI: 0.759-0.872), p=0.042}. In the temporal validation set, the combined model showed a significantly higher AUC than that of the conventional model (p=0.001). The combined model showed a higher AUC than the conventional model in the test and internal validation sets, albeit with no statistical significance. CONCLUSION A quantitative CT radiomics model can assist in the non-invasive prediction of the presence of STAS in the early stage of lung adenocarcinomas.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Distinguishing between malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and benign pleural effusion (BPE) poses a challenge in clinical practice. We aimed to construct and validate a combined model integrating radiomic features and clinical factors using computerized tomography (CT) images to differentiate between MPE and BPE. METHODS A retrospective inclusion of 315 patients with pleural effusion (PE) was conducted in this study (training cohort: n = 220; test cohort: n = 95). Radiomic features were extracted from CT images, and the dimensionality reduction and selection processes were carried out to obtain the optimal radiomic features. Logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest were employed to construct radiomic models. LR analyses were utilized to identify independent clinical risk factors to develop a clinical model. The combined model was created by integrating the optimal radiomic features with the independent clinical predictive factors. The discriminative ability of each model was assessed by receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Out of the total 1,834 radiomic features extracted, 15 optimal radiomic features explicitly related to MPE were picked to develop the radiomic model. Among the radiomic models, the SVM model demonstrated the highest predictive performance [area under the curve (AUC), training cohort: 0.876, test cohort: 0.774]. Six clinically independent predictive factors, including age, effusion laterality, procalcitonin, carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), were selected for constructing the clinical model. The combined model (AUC: 0.932, 0.870) exhibited superior discriminative performance in the training and test cohorts compared to the clinical model (AUC: 0.850, 0.820) and the radiomic model (AUC: 0.876, 0.774). The calibration curves and DCA further confirmed the practicality of the combined model. CONCLUSION This study presented the development and validation of a combined model for distinguishing MPE and BPE. The combined model was a powerful tool for assisting in the clinical diagnosis of PE patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer (CC) is a common malignancy of the female reproductive tract, and preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis (LNM) is essential. This study aims to design and validate a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics-based predictive model capable of detecting LNM in patients diagnosed with CC. METHODS This retrospective analysis incorporated 86 and 38 CC patients into the training and testing groups, respectively. Radiomics features were extracted from MRI T2WI, T2WI-SPAIR, and axial apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) sequences. Selected features identified in the training group were then used to construct a radiomics scoring model, with relevant LNM-related risk factors having been identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. The resultant predictive model was then validated in the testing cohort. RESULTS In total, 16 features were selected for the construction of a radiomics scoring model. LNM-related risk factors included worse differentiation (P < 0.001), more advanced International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages (P = 0.03), and a higher radiomics score from the combined MRI sequences (P = 0.01). The equation for the predictive model was as follows: -0.0493-2.1410 × differentiation level + 7.7203 × radiomics score of combined sequences + 1.6752 × FIGO stage. The respective area under the curve (AUC) values for the T2WI radiomics score, T2WI-SPAIR radiomics score, ADC radiomics score, combined sequence radiomics score, and predictive model were 0.656, 0.664, 0.658, 0.835, and 0.923 in the training cohort, while these corresponding AUC values were 0.643, 0.525, 0.513, 0.826, and 0.82 in the testing cohort. CONCLUSIONS This MRI radiomics-based model exhibited favorable accuracy when used to predict LNM in patients with CC. Relative to the use of any individual MRI sequence-based radiomics score, this predictive model yielded superior diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract
The contribution of artificial intelligence (AI) to medical imaging is currently the object of widespread experimentation. The development of deep learning (DL) methods, particularly convolution neural networks (CNNs), has led to performance gains often superior to those achieved by conventional methods such as machine learning. Radiomics is an approach aimed at extracting quantitative data not accessible to the human eye from images expressing a disease. The data subsequently feed machine learning models and produce diagnostic or prognostic probabilities. As for the multiple applications of AI methods in thoracic imaging, they are undergoing evaluation. Chest radiography is a practically ideal field for the development of DL algorithms able to automatically interpret X-rays. Current algorithms can detect up to 14 different abnormalities present either in isolation or in combination. Chest CT is another area offering numerous AI applications. Various algorithms have been specifically formed and validated for the detection and characterization of pulmonary nodules and pulmonary embolism, as well as segmentation and quantitative analysis of the extent of diffuse lung diseases (emphysema, infectious pneumonias, interstitial lung disease). In addition, the analysis of medical images can be associated with clinical, biological, and functional data (multi-omics analysis), the objective being to construct predictive approaches regarding disease prognosis and response to treatment.

Machine learning-based radiomics to distinguish pulmonary nodules between lung adenocarcinoma and tuberculosis. Thorac Cancer 2024; 15:466-476.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiomics is increasingly utilized to distinguish pulmonary nodules between lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and tuberculosis (TB). However, it remains unclear whether different segmentation criteria, such as the inclusion or exclusion of the cavity region within nodules, affect the results. METHODS A total of 525 patients from two medical centers were retrospectively enrolled. The radiomics features were extracted according to two regions of interest (ROI) segmentation criteria. Multiple logistic regression models were trained to predict the pathology: (1) The clinical model relied on clinical-radiological semantic features; (2) The radiomics models (radiomics+ and radiomics-) utilized radiomics features from different ROIs (including or excluding cavities); (3) the composite models (composite+ and composite-) incorporated both above. RESULTS In the testing set, the radiomics+/- models and the composite+/- models still possessed efficient prediction performance (AUC ≥ 0.94), while the AUC of the clinical model was 0.881. In the validation set, the AUC of the clinical model was only 0.717, while that of the radiomics+/- models and the composite+/- models ranged from 0.801 to 0.825. The prediction performance of all the radiomics+/- and composite+/- models were significantly superior to that of the clinical model (p < 0.05). Whether the ROI segmentation included or excluded the cavity had no significant effect on these models (radiomics+ vs. radiomics-, composite+ model vs. composite-) (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The present study established a machine learning-based radiomics strategy for differentiating LUAD from TB lesions. The ROI segmentation including or excluding the cavity region may exert no significant effect on the predictive ability.

Abstract
Background The identification of different subtypes of early-stage lung invasive adenocarcinoma before surgery contributes to the precision treatment. Radiomics could be one of the effective and noninvasive identification methods. The value of peritumoral radiomics in predicting the subtypes of early-stage lung invasive adenocarcinoma perhaps clinically useful. Methods This retrospective study included 937 lung adenocarcinomas which were randomly divided into the training set (n=655) and testing set (n=282) with a ratio of 7:3. This study used the univariate and multivariate analysis to choose independent clinical predictors. Radiomics features were extracted from 18 regions of interest (1 intratumoral region and 17 peritumoral regions). Independent and conjoint prediction models were constructed based on radiomics and clinical features. The performance of the models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, accuracy (ACC), sensitivity (SEN), and specificity (SPE). Significant differences between areas under the ROC (AUCs) were estimated using in the Delong test. Results Patient age, smoking history, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), lesion location, length, width and clinic behavior were the independent predictors of differentiating early-stage lung invasive adenocarcinoma (≤3 cm) subtypes. The highest AUC value among the 19 independent models was obtained for the PTV0~+3 radiomics model with 0.849 for the training set and 0.854 for the testing set. As the peritumoral distance increased, the predictive power of the models decreased. The radiomics-clinical conjoint model was statistically significantly different from the other models in the Delong test (P<0.05). Conclusions The intratumoral and peritumoral regions contained a wealth of clinical information. The diagnostic efficacy of intra-peritumoral radiomics combined clinical model was further improved, which was particularly important for preoperative staging and treatment decision-making.

CT radiomics for predicting the prognosis of patients with stage II rectal cancer during the three-year period after surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Heliyon 2024; 10:e23923. [PMID: 38223741 PMCID: PMC10787243 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Pre-treatment enhanced CT image data were used to train and build models to predict the efficacy of non-small cell lung cancer after conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy using two classification algorithms, Logistic Regression (LR) and Gaussian Naive Baye (GNB). Methods In this study, we used pre-treatment enhanced CT image data for region of interest (ROI) sketching and feature extraction. We utilized the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) mutual confidence method for feature screening. We pre-screened logistic regression (LR) and Gaussian naive Bayes (GNB) classification algorithms and trained and modeled the screened features. We plotted 5-fold and 10-fold cross-validated receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to calculate the area under the curve (AUC). We performed DeLong's test for validation and plotted calibration curves and decision curves to assess model performance. Results A total of 102 patients were included in this study, and after a comparative analysis of the two models, LR had only slightly lower specificity than GNB, and higher sensitivity, accuracy, AUC value, precision, and F1 value than GNB (training set accuracy: 0.787, AUC value: 0.851; test set accuracy: 0.772, AUC value: 0.849), and the LR model has better performance in both the decision curve and the calibration curve. Conclusion CT can be used for efficacy prediction after radiotherapy and chemotherapy in NSCLC patients. LR is more suitable for predicting whether NSCLC prognosis is in remission without considering the computing speed.

Machine learning-based radiomics strategy for prediction of acquired EGFR T790M mutation following treatment with EGFR-TKI in NSCLC. Sci Rep 2024; 14:446. [PMID: 38172228 PMCID: PMC10764785 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50984-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Thr790 Met (T790M) mutation is responsible for approximately half of the acquired resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Identifying patients at diagnosis who are likely to develop this mutation after first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI treatment is crucial for better treatment outcomes. This study aims to develop and validate a radiomics-based machine learning (ML) approach to predict the T790M mutation in NSCLC patients at diagnosis. We collected retrospective data from 210 positive EGFR mutation NSCLC patients, extracting 1316 radiomics features from CT images. Using the LASSO algorithm, we selected 10 radiomics features and 2 clinical features most relevant to the mutations. We built models with 7 ML approaches and assessed their performance through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The radiomics model and combined model, which integrated radiomics features and relevant clinical factors, achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-0.81) and 0.86 (0.87-0.88), respectively, in predicting the T790M mutation. Our study presents a convenient and noninvasive radiomics-based ML model for predicting this mutation at the time of diagnosis, aiding in targeted treatment planning for NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations.

Retrospective cohort study on the correlation analysis among peri-procedural factors, complications, and local tumor progression of lung tumors treated with CT-guided microwave ablation. J Thorac Dis 2023; 15:6915-6927. [PMID: 38249890 PMCID: PMC10797391 DOI: 10.21037/jtd-23-1799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Background Despite adherence to guidelines, recurrence of lesions remains possible in lung tumor microwave ablation (MWA) even when termination is enabled by 5-10 mm ground glass changes. Limited evidence exists regarding the correlation between timely management of perioperative complications (including pneumothorax, pleural effusion, hemorrhage, cavity formation, and infection) and local tumor progression. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the relationship among peri-procedural factors, complications, and local tumor progression in 164 cases of lung tumors treated with computed tomography-guided MWA (CT-MWA), and improve the local prognosis and reduce the complication rate of CT-guided lung tumor ablation. Methods We reviewed 164 consecutive patients who underwent CT-MWA at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center's Minimally Invasive Therapy Center for lung cancer from September 2019 to May 2020. Correlative analysis was performed between peri-procedural factors, complications and outcomes (local tumor progression rates). Patients who have had prior surgery or previous MWA were excluded. Ablation was the first treatment of choice, and all patients who have had other treatments were excluded. Patients were followed every 3 months with CT. Outcomes of ablation including complications and local tumor progression were evaluated. Peri-procedural factors included demographical factors, tumor features, ablation parameters, management of intra-procedural pneumothorax, and CT features. Complications included pneumothorax, post-procedural refractory infection, and pleural effusion. Results The study included 98 males and 68 females, with an average age of 56.1 years. Local tumor progression rate was negatively correlated with intra-procedural management of pneumothorax (R=-0.550, P=0.0003) and Hounsfield unit (HU) difference between HU before and after procedure (R=-0.855, P=0.006), and positively correlated with the average HU value of immediate post-procedural CT at the measurement points (R=0.857, P=0.00002). The correlation analysis results also showed a positive correlation between infection after procedure and pneumothorax (R=0.340, P=0.0001). Conclusions A greater difference between HU before and after the procedure or a decrease in CT values immediately after ablation may predict a higher rate of local complete ablation. Prompt management of intraoperative pneumothorax may lower local tumor progression rates and decrease incidence of post-procedural infection.

Luo W, Xiu Z, Wang X, McGarry R, Allen J. A Novel Method for Evaluating Early Tumor Response Based on Daily CBCT Images for Lung SBRT. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 16:20.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to develop a new tumor response assessment method for lung SBRT. METHODS In total, 132 lung cancer patients with 134 tumors who received SBRT treatment with daily CBCT were included in this study. The information about tumor size (area), contrast (contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR)), and density/attenuation (μ) was derived from the CBCT images for the first and the last fractions. The ratios of tumor area, CNR, and μ (RA, RCNR, Rμ) between the last and first fractions were calculated for comparison. The product of the three rations was defined as a new parameter (R) for assessment. Tumor response was independently assessed by a radiologist based on a comprehensive analysis of the CBCT images. RESULTS R ranged from 0.27 to 1.67 with a mean value of 0.95. Based on the radiologic assessment results, a receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curve with the area under the curve (AUC) of 95% was obtained and the optimal cutoff value (RC) was determined as 1.1. The results based on RC achieved a 94% accuracy, 94% specificity, and 90% sensitivity. CONCLUSION The results show that R was correlated with early tumor response to lung SBRT and that using R for evaluating tumor response to SBRT would be viable and efficient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative assessment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status, response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and development of T790M mutation in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases (BM) is important for clinical decision-making, while previous studies were only based on the whole BM. PURPOSE To investigate values of brain-to-tumor interface (BTI) for determining the EGFR mutation, response to EGFR-TKI and T790M mutation. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. POPULATION Two hundred thirty patients from Hospital 1 (primary cohort) and 80 patients from Hospital 2 (external validation cohort) with BM and histological diagnosis of primary NSCLC, and with known EGFR status (biopsy) and T790M mutation status (gene sequencing). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1CE) and T2-weighted (T2W) fast spin echo sequences at 3.0T MRI. ASSESSMENT Treatment response to EGFR-TKI therapy was determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Radiomics features were extracted from the 4 mm thickness BTI and selected by least shrinkage and selection operator regression. The selected BTI features and volume of peritumoral edema (VPE) were combined to construct models using logistic regression. STATISTICAL TESTS The performance of each radiomics model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). RESULTS A total of 7, 3, and 3 features were strongly associated with the EGFR mutation status, response to EGFR-TKI and T790M mutation status, respectively. The developed models combining BTI features and VPE can improve the performance than those based on BTI features alone, generating AUCs of 0.814, 0.730, and 0.774 for determining the EGFR mutation, response to EGFR-TKI and T790M mutation, respectively, in the external validation cohort. DATA CONCLUSION BTI features and VPE were associated with the EGFR mutation status, response to EGFR-TKI and T790M mutation status in NSCLC patients with BM. EVIDENCE LEVEL 3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2.

Ethnic diversity in treatment response for colorectal cancer: proof of concept for radiomics-driven enrichment trials. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:9254-9261. [PMID: 37368111 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09862-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several barriers hamper recruitment of diverse patient populations in multicenter clinical trials which determine efficacy of new systemic cancer therapies. PURPOSE We assessed if quantitative analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients using imaging features that predict overall survival (OS) can unravel the association between ethnicity and efficacy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed CT images from 1584 mCRC patients in two phase III trials evaluating FOLFOX ± panitumumab (n = 331, 350) and FOLFIRI ± aflibercept (n = 437, 466) collected from August 2006 to March 2013. Primary and secondary endpoints compared RECIST1.1 response at month-2 and delta tumor volume at month-2, respectively. An ancillary study compared imaging phenotype using a peer-reviewed radiomics-signature combining 3 imaging features to predict OS landmarked from month-2. Analysis was stratified by ethnicity. RESULTS In total, 1584 patients were included (mean age, 60.25 ± 10.57 years; 969 men). Ethnicity was as follows: African (n = 50, 3.2%), Asian (n = 66, 4.2%), Caucasian (n = 1413, 89.2%), Latino (n = 27, 1.7%), Other (n = 28, 1.8%). Overall baseline tumor volume demonstrated Africans and Caucasians had more advanced disease (p < 0.001). Ethnicity was associated with treatment response. Response per RECIST1.1 at month-2 was distinct between ethnicities (p = 0.048) with higher response rate (55.6%) in Latinos. Overall delta tumor volume at month-2 demonstrated that Latino patients more likely experienced response to treatment (p = 0.021). Radiomics phenotype was also distinct in terms of tumor radiomics heterogeneity (p = 0.023). CONCLUSION This study highlights how clinical trials that inadequately represent minority groups may impact associated translational work. In appropriately powered studies, radiomics features may allow us to unravel associations between ethnicity and treatment efficacy, better elucidate mechanisms of resistance, and promote diversity in trials through predictive enrichment. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Radiomics could promote clinical trial diversity through predictive enrichment, hence benefit to historically underrepresented racial/ethnic groups that may respond variably to treatment due to socioeconomic factors and built environment, collectively referred to as social determinants of health. KEY POINTS •Findings indicate ethnicity was associated with treatment response across all 3 endpoints. First, response per RECIST1.1 at month-2 was distinct between ethnicities (p = 0.048) with higher response rate (55.6%) in Latinos. •Second, the overall delta tumor volume at month-2 demonstrated that Latino patients were more likely to experience response to treatment (p = 0.021). Radiomics phenotype was also distinct in terms of tumor radiomics heterogeneity (p = 0.023).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of consolidation-to-tumour ratio (CTR) and the radiomic models in two- and three-dimensional modalities for assessing radiological invasiveness in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital and Shenzhen People's Hospital. Manual delineation of pulmonary nodules along the boundary was performed on cross-sectional images to extract radiomic features. Clinicopathological characteristics and radiomic signatures were identified in both cohorts. CTR and radiomic score for every patient were calculated. The performance of CTR and radiomic models were tested and validated in the respective cohorts. RESULTS A total of 818 patients from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were included in the primary cohort, while 474 patients from Shenzhen People's Hospital constituted an independent validation cohort. Both CTR and radiomic score were identified as independent factors for predicting pathological invasiveness. CTR in two- and three-dimensional modalities exhibited comparable results with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves and were demonstrated in the validation cohort (area under the curve: 0.807 vs 0.826, P = 0.059) Furthermore, both CTR in two- and three-dimensional modalities was able to stratify patients with significant relapse-free survival (P < 0.000 vs P < 0.000) and overall survival (P = 0.003 vs P = 0.001). The radiomic models in two- and three-dimensional modalities demonstrated favourable discrimination and calibration in independent cohorts (P = 0.189). CONCLUSIONS Three-dimensional measurement provides no additional clinical benefit compared to two-dimensional.

Combined radiomics of primary tumour and bone metastasis improve the prediction of EGFR mutation status and response to EGFR-TKI therapy for NSCLC. Phys Med 2023; 116:103177. [PMID: 38000098 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmp.2023.103177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To develop radiomics models of primary tumour and spinal metastases to predict epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and therapeutic response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS We enrolled 203 patients with spinal metastases between December 2017 and September 2021, classified as patients with the EGFR mutation or EGFR wild-type. All patients underwent thoracic CT and spinal MRI scans before any treatment. Radiomics analysis was performed to extract features from primary tumour and metastases images and identify predictive features with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator. Radiomics signatures (RS) were constructed based on primary tumour (RS-Pri), metastases (RS-Met), and in combination (RS-Com) to predict EGFR mutation status and response to EGFR-TKI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis with 10-fold cross-validation was applied to assess the performance of the models. RESULTS To predict the EGFR mutation status, the RS based on the combination of primary tumour and metastases improved the prediction AUCs compared to those based on the primary tumour or metastasis alone in the training (RS-Com-EGFR: 0.927) and validation (RS-Com-EGFR: 0.812) cohorts. To predict response to EGFR-TKI, the developed RS based on combined primary tumour and metastasis generated the highest AUCs in the training (RS-Com-TKI: 0.880) and validation (RS-Com-TKI: 0.798) cohort. CONCLUSIONS Primary NSCLC and spinal metastases can provide complementary information to predict the EGFR mutation status and response to EGFR-TKI. The developed models that integrate primary lesions and metastases may be potential imaging markers to guide individual treatment decisions.

Automatic prediction of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy response in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with deep learning radiomic nomogram. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:9038-9051. [PMID: 37498380 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09953-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) using the FOLFOX regimen (oxaliplatin plus fluorouracil and leucovorin) is a promising option for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (Ad-HCC). As identifying patients with Ad-HCC who would obtain objective response (OR) to HAIC preoperatively remains a challenge, we aimed to develop an automatic and non-invasive model for predicting HAIC response. METHODS A total of 458 patients with Ad-HCC who underwent HAIC were retrospectively included from three hospitals (310 for training, 77 for internal validation, and 71 for external validation). The deep learning and radiomic features were extracted from the automatically segmented liver region on contrast-enhanced computed tomography images. Then, a deep learning radiomic nomogram (DLRN) was constructed by integrating deep learning scores, radiomic scores, and significant clinical variables with multivariate logistic regression. Model performance was assessed by AUC and Kaplan-Meier estimator. RESULTS After automatic segmentation, only a few modifications were needed (less than 30 min for 458 patients). The DLRN achieved an AUC of 0.988 in the training cohort, 0.915 in the internal validation cohort, and 0.896 in the external validation cohort, respectively, outperforming other models in HAIC response prediction. Moreover, survival risk stratification was also successfully performed by the DLRN. The overall survival (OS) of the predictive OR group was significantly longer than that of the predictive non-OR group (median OS: 26.0 vs. 12.3 months, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The DLRN provided a satisfactory performance for predicting HAIC response, which is essential to identify Ad-HCC patients for HAIC and may potentially benefit personalized pre-treatment decision-making. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT This study presents an accurate and automatic method for predicting response to hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, and therefore help in defining the best candidates for this treatment. KEY POINTS • Deep learning radiomic nomogram (DLRN) based on automatic segmentation of CECT can accurately predict hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) response of advanced HCC patients. • The proposed prediction model can perform survival risk stratification and is an easy-to-use tool for personalized pre-treatment decision-making for advanced HCC patients.

Ma Y, Li Q. An integrated model combined intra- and peritumoral regions for predicting chemoradiation response of non small cell lung cancers based on radiomics and deep learning. Cancer Radiother 2023; 27:705-711. [PMID: 37932182 DOI: 10.1016/j.canrad.2023.05.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop a model for predicting chemoradiation response in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients by integrating radiomics and deep-learning features and combined intra- and peritumoral regions with pre-treated CT images. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study enrolled 462 patients with NSCLC who received chemoradiation. On the basis of pretreated CT images, we developed three models to compare the prediction of chemoradiation: intratumoral, peritumoral and combined regions. To further illustrate each model, we established different feature integration methods: a) radiomics model with 1500 features; b) deep learning model with a multiple instance learning algorithm; c) integrated model by integrating radiomic and deep learning features. For radiomics and integrated models, support vector machine and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were used to extract and select features. Transfer learning and max pooling algorithms were used to identify high informative features in deep learning models. We applied ten-fold cross validation in model training and testing. RESULTS The best area under the curve (AUC) of intratumoral, peritumoral and combined models were 0.89 (95% CI, 0.74-0.93), 0.86 (95% CI, 0.75-0.92) and 0.92 (95% CI, 0.81-0.95), respectively. It indicated the importance of the peritumoral region for treatment response prediction and should be used in combination with the intratumoral region. Integrated models gave better results than models with radiomics and deep learning features alone in all regions of interest and radiomics models outperformed deep learning models in any comparative models. CONCLUSIONS The model that integrate radiomic and deep learning features and combined intra- and peritumoral regions provide valuable information in predicting treatment response of chemoradiation. It can help oncologists customize personalized clinical treatment plans for NSCLC patients.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Preoperative prediction of LVI status can facilitate personalized therapeutic planning. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of preoperative MRI-based radiomics for predicting lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI) determined by D2-40 in patients with invasive breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 203 patients with pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancer, who underwent preoperative breast MRI, were retrospectively enrolled and randomly assigned to the following cohorts: training cohort (n=141) and test cohort (n=62). Then, univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to select independent risk factors and build a clinical model. Afterwards, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression was performed to select predictive features extracted from the early and delay enhancement dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI images, and a radiomics signature was established. Subsequently, a nomogram model was constructed by incorporating the radiomics score and risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic curves were performed to determine the performance of various models. The efficacy of the various models was evaluated using calibration and decision curves. RESULTS Fourteen radiomics features were selected to construct the radiomics model. The size of the lymph node was identified as an independent risk factor of the clinical model. The nomogram model demonstrated the best calibration and discrimination performance in both the training and test cohorts, with an area under the curve of 0.873 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.807-0.923) and 0.902 (95% CI: 0.800-0.963), respectively. The decision curve illustrated that the nomogram model added more net benefits, when compared to the radiomics signature and clinical model. CONCLUSION The nomogram model based on preoperative DCE-MRI images exhibits satisfactory efficacy for the noninvasive prediction of LVI determined by D2-40 in invasive breast cancer.

Abstract
AIM To develop and validate a radiomics nomogram for identifying high-risk carotid plaques on computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 280 patients with symptomatic (n=131) and asymptomatic (n=139) carotid plaques were divided into a training set (n=135), validation set (n=58), and external test set (n=87). Radiomic features were extracted from CTA images. A radiomics model was constructed based on selected features and a radiomics score (rad-score) was calculated. A clinical factor model was constructed by demographics and CT findings. A radiomics nomogram combining independent clinical factors and the rad-score was constructed. The diagnostic performance of three models was evaluated and validated by region of characteristic curves. RESULTS Calcification and maximum plaque thickness were the independent clinical factors. Twenty-four features were used to build the radiomics signature. In the validation set, the nomogram (area under the curve [AUC], 0.977; 95% CI, 0.899-0.999) performed better (p=0.017 and p=0.031) than the clinical factor model (AUC, 0.862; 95% CI, 0.746-0.938) and radiomics signature (AUC, 0.944; 95% CI, 0.850-0.987). In external test set, the nomogram (AUC, 0.952; 95% CI, 0.884-0.987) and radiomics signature (AUC, 0.932; 95% CI, 0.857-0.975) showed better discrimination capability (p=0.002 and p=0.037) than clinical factor model (AUC, 0.818; 95% CI, 0.721-0.892). CONCLUSION The CT-based nomogram showed satisfactory performance in identification of high-risk plaques in carotid arteries, and it may serve as a potential non-invasive tool to identify carotid plaque vulnerability and risk stratification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop radiomics signatures from multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to detect epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and predict the response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastasis (BM). METHODS We included 230 NSCLC patients with BM treated at our hospital between January 2017 and December 2021 and 80 patients treated at another hospital between July 2014 and October 2021 to form the primary and external validation cohorts, respectively. All patients underwent contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1C) and T2-weighted (T2W) MRI, and radiomics features were extracted from both the tumor active area (TAA) and peritumoral edema area (POA) for each patient. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used to identify the most predictive features. Radiomics signatures (RSs) were constructed using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS For predicting the EGFR mutation status, the created RS-EGFR-TAA and RS-EGFR- POA showed similar performance. By combination of TAA and POA, the multi-region combined RS (RS-EGFR-Com) achieved the highest prediction performance, with AUCs of 0.896, 0.856, and 0.889 in the primary training, internal validation, and external validation cohort, respectively. For predicting response to EGFR-TKI, the multi-region combined RS (RS-TKI-Com) generated the highest AUCs in the primary training (AUC = 0.817), internal validation (AUC = 0.788), and external validation (AUC = 0.808) cohort, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested values of multiregional radiomics of BM for predicting EGFR mutations and response to EGFR-TKI. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The application of radiomic analysis of multiparametric brain MRI has proven to be a promising tool to stratify which patients can benefit from EGFR-TKI therapy and to facilitate the precise therapeutics of NSCLC patients with brain metastases. KEY POINTS • Multiregional radiomics can improve efficacy in predicting therapeutic response to EGFR-TKI therapy in NSCLC patients with brain metastasis. • The tumor active area (TAA) and peritumoral edema area (POA) may hold complementary information related to the therapeutic response to EGFR-TKI. • The developed multi-region combined radiomics signature achieved the best predictive performance and may be considered as a potential tool for predicting response to EGFR-TKI.

Abstract
Background Differences exist between high- and low-risk endometrial cancer (EC) in terms of whether lymph node dissection is performed. Factors such as tumor grade, myometrial invasion (MDI), and lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) in the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), European SocieTy for Radiotherapy & Oncology (ESTRO) and European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) guidelines risk classification can often only be accurately assessed postoperatively. The aim of our study was to estimate the risk classification of patients with endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma before surgery and offer individualized treatment plans based on their risk classification. Methods Clinical information and last preoperative pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with postoperative pathologically determined endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma were collected retrospectively. The region of interest (ROI) was subsequently plotted in T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) MRI scans, and the traditional radiomics features and deep-learning image features were extracted. A final radiomics nomogram model integrating traditional radiomics features, deep learning image features, and clinical information was constructed to distinguish between low- and high-risk patients (based on the 2020 ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO guidelines). The efficacy of the model was evaluated in the training and validation sets of the model. Results We finally included 168 patients from January 1, 2020 to July 29, 2021, of which 95 patients in 2021 were classified as the training set and 73 patients in 2020 were classified as the validation set. In the training set, the area under the curve (AUC) of the radiomics nomogram was 0.923 (95%CI: 0.865-0.980) and in the validation set, the AUC of the radiomics nomogram was 0.842 (95%CI: 0.762-0.923). The nomogram had better predictions than both the traditional radiomics model and the deep-learning radiomics model. Conclusion MRI-based radiomics models can be useful for preoperative risk classification of patients with endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this meta-analysis is to systematically review the diagnostic performance of radiomic techniques in predicting peritoneal metastasis in patients with gastric cancer, and to evaluate the quality of current research. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, Embase, and Cochrane databases for relevant studies up to April 3, 2023. Data extraction and quality evaluation were performed by two independent reviewers. Then we performed statistical analysis, including plotting the forest plot and summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve, and source of heterogeneity analysis, through the MIDAS module in Stata 15. We performed meta-regression and subgroup analyses to analyze the sources of heterogeneity. Using the QUADAS-2 scale and the RQS scale to assess the quality of retrieved studies. RESULTS Ten studies with 6199 patients were finally included in our meta-analysis. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.77 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.66, 0.86), and 0.88 (95% CI 0.80, 0.93), respectively. The overall AUC was 0.89 (95% CI 0.86, 0.92). The heterogeneity of this meta-analysis was high, with I2 = 88% (95% CI 75,100). The result of meta-regression showed that QUADAS-2 results, RQS results and machine learning method led to heterogeneity in sensitivity and specificity (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the image segmentation area and the presence or absence of combined clinical factors were associated with sensitivity heterogeneity and specificity heterogeneity, respectively. CONCLUSION Undoubtedly, radiomics has potential value in diagnosing peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer, but the quality of current research is inconsistent, and more standardized and high-quality research is still needed in the future to achieve the transformation of radiomics results into clinical applications.

Abstract
Tumor is the major cause of death all around the world in recent days. Early detection and prediction of a cancer type are important for a patient's well-being. Functional genomic data has recently been used in the effective and early detection of cancer. According to previous research, the use of microarray data in cancer prediction has evidenced two main problems as high dimensionality and limited sample size. Several researchers have used numerous statistical and machine learning-based methods to classify cancer types but still, limitations are there which makes cancer classification a difficult job. Deep Learning (DL) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been proven with effective analyses of unstructured data including gene expression data. In the proposed method gene expression data for five types of cancer is collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Prominent features are selected using a hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Random Forest (RF) algorithm followed by the use of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction. Finally, for classification blend of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) is used to predict the target type of cancer. Experimental results demonstrate that accuracy of the proposed method is 96.89%. As compared to existing work, our method outperformed with better results.

[PMID: 37724784 PMCID: PMC10546437 DOI: 10.1259/bjr.20230172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the methodological quality of radiomics literature predicting Ki-67 levels based on MRI in patients with breast cancer (BC) and to propose suggestions for clinical translation. METHODS In this review, we searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for studies published on radiomics in patients with BC. We evaluated the methodological quality of the studies using the Radiomics Quality Score (RQS). The Cochrane Collaboration's software (RevMan 5.4), Meta-DiSc (v. 1.4) and IBM SPSS (v. 26.0) were used for all statistical analyses. RESULTS Eighteen studies met our inclusion criteria, and the average RQS was 10.17 (standard deviation [SD]: 3.54). None of these studies incorporated any of the following items: a phantom study on all scanners, cut-off analyses, prospective study, cost-effectiveness analysis, or open science and data. In the meta-analysis, it showed apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) played a better role to predict Ki-67 level than dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI in the radiomics, with the pooled area under the curve (AUC) of 0.969. CONCLUSION Ki-67 index is a common tumor biomarker with high clinical value. Radiomics is an ever-growing quantitative data-mining method helping predict tumor biomarkers from medical images. However, the quality of the reviewed studies evaluated by the RQS was not so satisfactory and there are ample opportunities for improvement. Open science and data, external validation, phantom study, publicly open radiomics database and standardization in the radiomics practice are what researchers should pay more attention to in the future. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE The RQS tool considered the radiomics used to predict the Ki-67 level was of poor quality. ADC performed better than DCE in radiomic prediction. We propose some measures to facilitate the clinical translation of radiomics.

Br J Radiol 2023; 96:20221076. [PMID: 37486626 PMCID: PMC10546431 DOI: 10.1259/bjr.20221076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the value of maximal contrast-enhanced (CEmax) range using contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) imaging in differentiating the pathological subtypes and risk subgroups of thymic epithelial tumors (TETs). METHODS The pre-treatment-CECT images of 319 TET patients from May 2012 to November 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The CEmax was defined as the maximum difference between the CT value of the solid tumor on pre-contrast and contrast-enhanced images. The mean CEmax value was calculated at three different tumor levels. RESULTS There was a significant difference in the CEmax among the eight main pathological subtypes [types A, AB, B1, B2, and B3 thymoma, thymic carcinoma (TC), low-grade neuroendocrine tumor (NET) and high-grade NET] (p < 0.001). Among the eight subtypes, the CEmax values of types A, AB, and low-risk NET were higher than those of the other subtypes (all p < 0.001), and there was no difference among types B1-B3 and high-risk NET (all p > 0.05). There was no difference for CEmax values between NET and TC (p = 0.491). For the risk subgroups, the CEmax of TC (including NET) was 35.35 ± 11.41 HU, which was lower than that of low-risk thymoma (A and AB) (57.73±21.24 HU) (P < 0.001) and was higher than that of high-risk thymoma (B1-B3) (27.37±8.27 HU) (P < 0.001). The CEmax cut-off values were 38.5 HU and 30.5 HU respectively (AUC: 0.829 and 0.712; accuracy, 72.4% and 67.7%). CONCLUSION The tumor CEmax on CECT helps differentiate the pathological subtypes and risk subgroups of TETs. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE In this study, an improved simplified risk grouping method was proposed based on the traditional (2004 edition) simplified risk grouping method for TETs. If Type B1 thymoma is classified as high-risk, radiologists using this improved method may improve the accuracy in differentiating risk level of TETs compared with the traditional method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) was affected by numerous factors. In the study, we developed and validated an artificial neural network (ANN) system based on clinical characteristics and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to support clinical decisions. METHODS A multicenter retrospective non-interventional study was conducted. 240 patients from three hospitals with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and EGFR mutation were tested by NGS before the first treatment. All patients received formal EGFR-TKIs treatment. Five different models were individually trained to predict the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs based on one medical center with 188 patients. Two independent cohorts from other medical centers were collected for external validation. RESULTS Compared with logistic regression, four machine learning methods showed better predicting abilities for EGFR-TKIs. The inclusion of NGS tests improved the predictive power of models. ANN performed best on the dataset with mutations TP53, RB1, PIK3CA, EGFR mutation sites, and tumor mutation burden (TMB). The prediction accuracy, recall and AUC were 0.82, 0.82, and 0.82, respectively in our final model. In the external validation set, ANN still showed good performance and differentiated patients with poor outcomes. Finally, a clinical decision support software based on ANN was developed and provided a visualization interface for clinicians. CONCLUSION This study provides an approach to assess the efficacy of NSCLC patients with first-line EGFR-TKI treatment. Software is developed to support clinical decisions.

COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2023; 240:107714. [PMID: 37473589 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2023.107714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 28.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous features are commonly generated in radiomics applications as applied to medical imaging, and identification of robust radiomics features (RFs) can be an important step to derivation of reliable, reproducible solutions. In this work, we utilize a tensor radiomics (TR) framework, where numerous fusions are explored, to generate different flavours of RFs, and we aimed to identify RFs that are robust to fusion techniques in head and neck cancer. Overall, we aimed to predict progression-free survival (PFS) using Hybrid Machine Learning Systems (HMLS) and reproducible RFs. METHODS The study was performed on 408 patients with head and neck cancer from The Cancer Imaging Archive. After image preprocessing, 15 fusion techniques were employed to combine Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) images. Subsequently, 215 RFs were extracted through a standardized radiomics software, with 17 'flavours' generated using PET-only, CT-only, and 15 fused PET&CT images. The variability of RFs across flavours was studied using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Furthermore, the features were categorized into seven reliability groups, 106 reproducible RFs with ICC>0.75 were selected, highly correlated flavours were removed, Principal Component Analysis was used to convert 17 flavours to 1 attribute, the polynomial function was utilized to increase RFs, and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to select the relevant attributes. Finally, 3 classifiers including Random Forest (RFC), Logistic regression (LR), and Multi-layer perceptron were applied to the preselected relevant attributes to predict binary PFS. In 5-fold cross-validation, 80% of 4 divisions were utilized to train the model, and the remaining 20% was utilized to evaluate the model. Further, the remaining fold was used for external nested testing. RESULTS Reliability analysis indicated that most morphological features belong to the high-reliability category. By contrast, local intensity and statistical features extracted from images belong to the low-reliability category. In the tensor framework, the highest 5-fold cross-validation accuracy of 76.7%±3.3% with an external nested testing of 70.6%±6.7% resulted from the reproducible TR+polynomial function+ANOVA+LR algorithm while the accuracy of 70.0%±4.2% with the external nested testing of 67.7%±4.9% was achieved through the PCA fusion+RFC (non-tensor paradigm). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that using reproducible RFs as utilized within a tensor fusion radiomics framework, linked with ANOVA and LR, added value to prediction of progression-free survival outcome in head and neck cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to predict myocardial ischemia (MIS) by constructing models with imaging features, CT-fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR), pericoronary fat attenuation index (pFAI), and radiomics based on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). METHODS AND RESULTS This study included 96 patients who underwent CCTA and single photon emission computed tomography-myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI). According to SPECT-MPI results, there were 72 vessels with MIS in corresponding supply area and 105 vessels with no-MIS. The conventional model [lesion length (LL), MDS (maximum stenosis diameter × 100% / reference vessel diameter), MAS (maximum stenosis area × 100% / reference vessel area) and CT value], radiomics model (radiomics features), and multi-faceted model (all features) were constructed using support vector machine. Conventional and radiomics models showed similar predictive efficacy [AUC: 0.76, CI 0.62-0.90 vs. 0.74, CI 0.61-0.88; p > 0.05]. Adding pFAI to the conventional model showed better predictive efficacy than adding CT-FFR (AUC: 0.88, CI 0.79-0.97 vs. 0.80, CI 0.68-0.92; p < 0.05). Compared with conventional and radiomics model, the multi-faceted model showed the highest predictive efficacy (AUC: 0.92, CI 0.82-0.98, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION pFAI is more effective for predicting MIS than CT-FFR. A multi-faceted model combining imaging features, CT-FFR, pFAI, and radiomics is a potential diagnostic tool for MIS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Downstaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) makes it possible for patients beyond the criteria to have the chance of liver transplantation (LT) and improved outcomes. Thus, a procedure to predict the prognosis of the treatment is an urgent requisite. The present study aimed to construct a comprehensive framework with clinical information and radiomics features to accurately predict the prognosis of downstaging treatment. METHODS Specifically, three-dimensional (3D) tumor segmentation from contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is employed to extract spatial information of the lesions. Then, the radiomics features within the segmented region are calculated. Combining radiomics features and clinical data prompts the development of feature selection to enhance the robustness and generalizability of the model. Finally, we adopt the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm to establish a classification model for predicting HCC downstaging outcomes. RESULTS Herein, a comparative study was conducted on three different models: a radiomics features-based model (R model), a clinical features-based model (C model), and a joint radiomics clinical features-based model (R-C model). The average accuracy of the three models was 0.712, 0.792, and 0.844, and the average area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) of the three models was 0.775, 0.804, and 0.877, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The novel and practical R-C model accurately predicted the downstaging outcomes, which could be utilized to guide the HCC downstaging toward LT treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a prediction model for early recurrence of stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) that combines radiomics features based on preoperative CT with tumour spread through air spaces (STAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS The most recent preoperative thin-section chest CT scans and postoperative pathological haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections were retrospectively collected from patients with a postoperative pathological diagnosis of stage I LUAD. Regions of interest were manually segmented, and radiomics features were extracted from the tumour and peritumoral regions extended by 3 voxel units, 6 voxel units, and 12 voxel units, and 2D and 3D deep learning image features were extracted by convolutional neural networks. Then, the RAdiomics Integrated with STAS model (RAISm) was constructed. The performance of RAISm was then evaluated in a development cohort and validation cohort. RESULTS A total of 226 patients from two medical centres from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively included as the development cohort for the model and were randomly split into a training set (72.6%, n = 164) and a test set (27.4%, n = 62). From June 2019 to December 2019, 51 patients were included in the validation cohort. RAISm had excellent discrimination in predicting the early recurrence of stage I LUAD in the training cohort (AUC = 0.847, 95% CI 0.762-0.932) and validation cohort (AUC = 0.817, 95% CI 0.625-1.000). RAISm outperformed single modality signatures and other combinations of signatures in terms of discrimination and clinical net benefits. CONCLUSION We pioneered combining preoperative CT-based radiomics with STAS to predict stage I LUAD recurrence postoperatively and confirmed the superior effect of the model in validation cohorts, showing its potential to assist in postoperative treatment strategies.

The predictive value of a computed tomography-based radiomics model for the surgical separability of thymic epithelial tumors from the superior vena cava and the left innominate vein. Quant Imaging Med Surg 2023; 13:5622-5640. [PMID: 37711814 PMCID: PMC10498270 DOI: 10.21037/qims-22-1050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to develop a radiomics machine learning model based on computed tomography (CT) that can predict whether thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) can be separated from veins during surgery and to compare the accuracy of the radiomics model to that of radiologists. Methods Patients who underwent thymectomy at our hospital from 2009 to 2017 were included in the screening process. After the selection of patients according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the cohort was randomly divided into training and testing groups, and CT images of these patients were collected. Subsequently, two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) regions of interest were labelled using ITK-SNAP 3.8.0 software, and Radiomics features were extracted using Python software (Python Software Foundation) and selected through the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model. To construct the classifier, a support vector machine (SVM) was employed, and a nomogram was created using logistic regression to predict vascular inseparable TETs based on the radiomics score (radscore) and image features. To assess the accuracy of these models, area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of these models were calculated, and differences among the models were identified using the Delong test. Results In this retrospective study, 204 patients with TETs were included, among whom 21 were diagnosed with surgical vascularly inseparable TETs. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of the 2D model, 3D model, 2D + 3D model, and radiologist diagnoses were 0.94, 0.92, 0.95, and 0.87 in the training cohort and 0.95, 0.92, 0.98, and 0.78 in testing cohort, respectively. The Delong test revealed a significant improvement in the performance of the radiomics models compared to radiologists' diagnoses. The logistic regression selected 3 image features, namely maximum diameter of the tumor, degree of abutment of vessel circumference >50%, and absence of the mediastinal fat layer or space between the tumor and surrounding structures. These features, along with the radscore, were included to develop a nomogram. The AUCs of this nomogram were 0.99 in both the training set and testing set, and the Delong test did not find a significant difference between ROC plots of the nomogram and radiomics models. Conclusions The proposed radiomics model could accurately predict surgical vascularly inseparable TETs preoperatively and was shown to have a higher predictive value than the radiologists.

Radiomics and Artificial Intelligence for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Alzheimer's Disease: A Systematic Review of Studies in the Field. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5432.

Abstract
The use of radiomics and artificial intelligence applied for the diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer's disease has developed in recent years. However, this approach is not yet completely applicable in clinical practice. The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic analysis of the studies that have included the use of radiomics from different imaging techniques and artificial intelligence for the diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer's disease in order to improve the clinical outcomes and quality of life of older patients. A systematic review of the literature was conducted in February 2023, analyzing manuscripts and articles of the last 5 years from the PubMed, Scopus and Embase databases. All studies concerning discrimination among Alzheimer's disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment and healthy older people performing radiomics analysis through machine and deep learning were included. A total of 15 papers were included. The results showed a very good performance of this approach in the differentiating Alzheimer's disease patients-both at the dementia and pre-dementia phases of the disease-from healthy older people. In summary, radiomics and AI can be valuable tools for diagnosing and monitoring the progression of Alzheimer's disease, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate diagnosis and treatment. However, the results reported by this review should be read with great caution, keeping in mind that imaging alone is not enough to identify dementia due to Alzheimer's.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It exhibits, at the mesoscopic scale, phenotypic characteristics that are generally indiscernible to the human eye but can be captured non-invasively on medical imaging as radiomic features, which can form a high dimensional data space amenable to machine learning. Radiomic features can be harnessed and used in an artificial intelligence paradigm to risk stratify patients, and predict for histological and molecular findings, and clinical outcome measures, thereby facilitating precision medicine for improving patient care. Compared to tissue sampling-driven approaches, radiomics-based methods are superior for being non-invasive, reproducible, cheaper, and less susceptible to intra-tumoral heterogeneity. This review focuses on the application of radiomics, combined with artificial intelligence, for delivering precision medicine in lung cancer treatment, with discussion centered on pioneering and groundbreaking works, and future research directions in the area.

Abstract
In this study, we propose a radiomics clinical probability-weighted model for the prediction of prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The model combines radiomics features extracted from radiotherapy (RT) planning images with clinical factors such as age, gender, histology, and tumor stage. CT images with radiotherapy structures of 422 NSCLC patients were retrieved from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). Radiomic features were extracted from gross tumor volumes (GTVs). Five machine learning algorithms, namely decision trees (DT), random forests (RF), extreme boost (EB), support vector machine (SVM) and generalized linear model (GLM) were optimized by a voted ensemble machine learning (VEML) model. A probabilistic weighted approach is used to incorporate the uncertainty associated with both radiomic and clinical features and to generate a probabilistic risk score for each patient. The performance of the model is evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC). The Radiomic model, clinical factor model, and combined radiomic clinical probability-weighted model demonstrated good performance in predicting NSCLC survival with AUC of 0.941, 0.856 and 0.949, respectively. The combined radiomics clinical probability-weighted enhanced model achieved significantly better performance than the radiomic model in 1-year survival prediction (chi-square test, p < 0.05). The proposed model has the potential to improve NSCLC prognosis and facilitate personalized treatment decisions.

Heterogeneity of Glycolytic Phenotype Determined by 18F-FDG PET/CT Using Coefficient of Variation in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:2448. [PMID: 37510192 PMCID: PMC10378511 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13142448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
We investigated the role of Coefficient of Variation (CoV), a first-order texture parameter derived from 18F-FDG PET/CT, in the prognosis of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients. Eighty-four patients with advanced NSCLC who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT before therapy were retrospectively studied. SUVmax, SUVmean, CoV, total Metabolic Tumor Volume (MTVTOT) and whole-body Total Lesion Glycolysis (TLGWB) were determined by an automated contouring program (SUV threshold at 2.5). We analyzed 194 lesions: primary tumors (n = 84), regional (n = 48) and non-regional (n = 17) lymph nodes and metastases in liver (n = 9), bone (n = 23) and other sites (n = 13); average CoVs were 0.36 ± 0.13, 0.36 ± 0.14, 0.42 ± 0.18, 0.30 ± 0.14, 0.37 ± 0.17, 0.34 ± 0.13, respectively. No significant differences were found between the CoV values among the different lesion categories. Survival analysis included age, gender, histology, stage, MTVTOT, TLGWB and imaging parameters derived from primary tumors. At univariate analysis, CoV (p = 0.0184), MTVTOT (p = 0.0050), TLGWB (p = 0.0108) and stage (p = 0.0041) predicted Overall Survival (OS). At multivariate analysis, age, CoV, MTVTOT and stage were retained in the model (p = 0.0001). Patients with CoV > 0.38 had significantly better OS than those with CoV ≤ 0.38 (p = 0.0143). Patients with MTVTOT ≤ 89.5 mL had higher OS than those with MTVTOT > 89.5 mL (p = 0.0063). Combining CoV and MTVTOT, patients with CoV ≤ 0.38 and MTVTOT > 89.5 mL had the worst prognosis. CoV, by reflecting the heterogeneity of glycolytic phenotype, can predict clinical outcomes in NSCLC patients.

Sustainable fabrication of hybrid silver-copper nanocomposites (Ag-CuO NCs) using Ocimum americanum L. as an effective regime against antibacterial, anticancer, photocatalytic dye degradation and microalgae toxicity. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 228:115867.

Abstract
In this study, a sustainable fabrication of hybrid silver-copper oxide nanocomposites (Ag-CuO NCs) was accomplished utilizing Ocimum americanum L. by one pot green chemistry method. The multifarious biological and environmental applications of the green fabricated Ag-CuO NCs were evaluated through their antibacterial, anticancer, dye degradation, and microalgae growth inhibition activities. The morphological features of the surface functionalized hybrid Ag-CuO NCs were confirmed by FE-SEM and HR-TEM techniques. The surface plasmon resonance λmax peak appeared at 441.56 nm. The average hydrodynamic size distribution of synthesized nanocomposite was 69.80 nm. Zeta potential analysis of Ag-CuO NCs confirmed its remarkable stability at -21.5 mV. XRD and XPS techniques validated the crystalline structure and electron binding affinity of NCs, respectively. The Ag-CuO NCs demonstrated excellent inhibitory activity against Vibrio cholerae (19.93 ± 0.29 mm) at 100 μg/mL. Anticancer efficacy of Ag-CuO NCs was investigated against the A549 lung cancer cell line, and Ag-CuO NCs exhibited outstanding antiproliferative activity with a low IC50 of 2.8 ± 0.05 μg/mL. Furthermore, staining and comet assays substantiated that the Ag-CuO NCs hindered the progression of the A549 cells and induced apoptosis as a result of cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Concerning the environmental applications, the Ag-CuO NCs displayed efficient photocatalytic activity against eosin yellow degradation up to 80.94% under sunlight irradiation. Microalgae can be used as an early bio-indicator/prediction of environmental contaminants and toxic substances. The treatment of the Ag-CuO NCs on the growth of marine microalgae Tetraselmis suecica demonstrated the dose and time-dependent growth reduction and variations in the chlorophyll content. Therefore, the efficient multifunctional properties of hybrid Ag-CuO NCs could be exploited as a regime against infective diseases and cancer. Further, the findings of our investigation witness the remarkable scope and potency of Ag-CuO NCs for environmental applications.

Abstract
Lung cancer represents the second most common malignancy worldwide and lymph node (LN) involvement serves as a crucial prognostic factor for tailoring treatment approaches. Invasive methods, such as mediastinoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), are employed for preoperative LN staging. Among the preoperative non-invasive diagnostic methods, computed tomography (CT) and, recently, positron emission tomography (PET)/CT with fluorine-18-fludeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) are routinely recommended by several guidelines; however, they can both miss pathologically proven LN metastases, with an incidence up to 26% for patients staged with [18F]FDG PET/CT. These undetected metastases, known as occult LN metastases (OLMs), are usually cases of micro-metastasis or small LN metastasis (shortest radius below 10 mm). Hence, it is crucial to find novel approaches to increase their discovery rate. Radiomics is an emerging field that seeks to uncover and quantify the concealed information present in biomedical images by utilising machine or deep learning approaches. The extracted features can be integrated into predictive models, as numerous reports have emphasised their usefulness in the staging of lung cancer. However, there is a paucity of studies examining the detection of OLMs using quantitative features derived from images. Hence, the objective of this review was to investigate the potential application of PET- and/or CT-derived quantitative radiomic features for the identification of OLMs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish and validate radiomics models for predicting the early efficacy (less than 3 months) of microwave ablation (MWA) in malignant lung tumors. METHODS The study enrolled 130 malignant lung tumor patients (72 in the training cohort, 32 in the testing cohort, and 26 in the validation cohort) treated with MWA. Post-operation CT images were analyzed. To evaluate the therapeutic effect of ablation, three models were constructed by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and logistic regression: the tumoral radiomics (T-RO), peritumoral radiomics (P-RO), and tumoral-peritumoral radiomics (TP-RO) models. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify clinical variables and radiomics features associated with early efficacy, which were incorporated into the combined radiomics (C-RO) model. The performance of the C-RO model was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The C-RO model was used to derive the best cutoff value of ROC and to distinguish the high-risk group (Nomo-score of C-RO model below than cutoff value) from the low-risk group (Nomo-score of C-RO model higher than cutoff value) for survival analysis of patients. RESULTS Four radiomics features were selected from the region of interest of tumoral and peritumoral CT images, which showed good performance for evaluating prognosis and early efficacy in three cohorts. The C-RO model had the highest AUC value in all models, and the C-RO model was better than the P-RO model (AUC in training, 0.896 vs. 0.740; p = 0.036). The DCA confirmed the clinical benefit of the C-RO model. Survival analysis revealed that in the C-RO model, the low-risk group defined by best cutoff value had significantly better progression-free survival than the high-risk group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS CT-based radiomics models in malignant lung tumor patients after MWA could be useful for individualized risk classification and treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cross-sectional imaging plays an integral role in the management of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer, from initial diagnosis and staging to determining appropriate treatment strategies. Subjective imaging interpretation has known limitations. The field of radiomics has evolved to extract quantitative data from medical imaging and relate these to biological processes. The key concept behind radiomics is that the high-throughput analysis of quantitative imaging features can provide predictive or prognostic information, with the goal of providing individualised care. OBJECTIVE Radiomic studies have shown promising utility in upper gastrointestinal oncology, highlighting a potential role in determining stage of disease and degree of tumour differentiation and predicting recurrence-free survival. This narrative review aims to provide an insight into the concepts underpinning radiomics, as well as its potential applications for guiding treatment and surgical decision-making in upper gastrointestinal malignancy. CONCLUSION Outcomes from studies to date have been promising; however, further standardisation and collaboration are required. Large prospective studies with external validation and evaluation of radiomic integration into clinical pathways are needed. Future research should now focus on translating the promising utility of radiomics into meaningful patient outcomes.

Du P, Liu X, Wu X, Chen J, Cao A, Geng D. Predicting Histopathological Grading of Adult Gliomas Based On Preoperative Conventional Multimodal MRI Radiomics: A Machine Learning Model. Brain Sci 2023; 13:912. [PMID: 37371390 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13060912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The accurate preoperative histopathological grade diagnosis of adult gliomas is of great significance for the formulation of a surgical plan and the implementation of a subsequent treatment. The aim of this study is to establish a predictive model for classifying adult gliomas into grades 2-4 based on preoperative conventional multimodal MRI radiomics. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with pathologically confirmed gliomas at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, between February 2017 and July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Two regions of interest (ROIs), called the maximum anomaly region (ROI1) and the tumor region (ROI2), were delineated on the patients' preoperative MRIs utilizing the tool ITK-SNAP, and Pyradiomics 3.0 was applied to execute feature extraction. Feature selection was performed utilizing a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) filter. Six classifiers, including Gaussian naive Bayes (GNB), random forest (RF), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) with a linear kernel, adaptive boosting (AB), and multilayer perceptron (MLP) were used to establish predictive models, and the predictive performance of the six classifiers was evaluated through five-fold cross-validation. The performance of the predictive models was evaluated using the AUC and other metrics. After that, the model with the best predictive performance was tested using the external data from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). RESULTS According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 240 patients with gliomas were identified for inclusion in the study, including 106 grade 2, 68 grade 3, and 66 grade 4 gliomas. A total of 150 features was selected, and the MLP classifier had the best predictive performance among the six classifiers based on T2-FLAIR (mean AUC of 0.80 ± 0.07). The SVM classifier had the best predictive performance among the six classifiers based on DWI (mean AUC of 0.84 ± 0.05); the SVM classifier had the best predictive performance among the six classifiers based on CE-T1WI (mean AUC of 0.85 ± 0.06). Among the six classifiers, based on ROI1, the MLP classifier had the best prediction performance (mean AUC of 0.78 ± 0.07); among the six classifiers, based on ROI2, the SVM classifier had the best prediction performance (mean AUC of 0.82 ± 0.07). Among the six classifiers, based on the multimodal MRI of all the ROIs, the SVM classifier had the best prediction performance (average AUC of 0.85 ± 0.04). The SVM classifier, based on the multimodal MRI of all the ROIs, achieved an AUC of 0.81 using the external data from TCIA. CONCLUSIONS The prediction model, based on preoperative conventional multimodal MRI radiomics, established in this study can conveniently, accurately, and noninvasively classify adult gliomas into grades 2-4, providing certain assistance for the precise diagnosis and treatment of patients and optimizing their clinical management.

Pathol Oncol Res 2023; 29:1611001. [PMID: 37342362 PMCID: PMC10277864 DOI: 10.3389/pore.2023.1611001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023]
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this investigation was to explore the correlation between the levels of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ and CD4+ T cells and the quantitative pharmacokinetic parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 103 patients with histopathologically confirmed advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Three pharmacokinetic parameters, Kep, Ktrans, and Ve, and their radiomics characteristics were obtained by Omni Kinetics software. Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine CD4+ and CD8+ TILs. Statistical analysis was subsequently performed to assess the correlation between radiomics characteristics and CD4+ and CD8+ TIL density. Results: All patients included in this study were finally divided into either a CD8+ TILs low-density group (n = 51) (CD8+ TILs < 138) or a high-density group (n = 52) (CD8+ TILs ≥ 138), and a CD4+ TILs low-density group (n = 51) (CD4+ TILs < 87) or a high-density group (n = 52) (CD4+ TILs ≥ 87). ClusterShade and Skewness based on Kep and Skewness based on Ktrans both showed moderate negative correlation with CD8+ TIL levels (r = 0.630-0.349, p < 0.001), with ClusterShade based on Kep having the highest negative correlation (r = -0.630, p < 0.001). Inertia-based Kep showed a moderate positive correlation with the CD4+ TIL level (r = 0.549, p < 0.001), and the Correlation based on Kep showed a moderate negative correlation with the CD4+ TIL level, which also had the highest correlation coefficient (r = -0.616, p < 0.001). The diagnostic efficacy of the above features was assessed by ROC curves. For CD8+ TILs, ClusterShade of Kep had the highest mean area under the curve (AUC) (0.863). For CD4+ TILs, the Correlation of Kep had the highest mean AUC (0.856). Conclusion: The radiomics features of DCE-MRI are associated with the expression of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ and CD4+ T cells in AGC, which have the potential to noninvasively evaluate the expression of CD8+ and CD4+ TILs in AGC patients.
