[PMID: 38492096 PMCID: PMC10944436 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-024-05642-4] [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: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a radiomics model based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) utilizing automated machine learning method to differentiate cerebral cystic metastases from brain abscesses. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 186 patients with cerebral cystic metastases (n = 98) and brain abscesses (n = 88) from two clinical institutions were retrospectively included. The datasets (129 from institution A) were randomly portioned into separate 75% training and 25% internal testing sets. Radiomics features were extracted from DWI images using two subregions of the lesion (cystic core and solid wall). A thorough image preprocessing method was applied to DWI images to ensure the robustness of radiomics features before feature extraction. Then the Tree-based Pipeline Optimization Tool (TPOT) was utilized to search for the best optimized machine learning pipeline, using a fivefold cross-validation in the training set. The external test set (57 from institution B) was used to evaluate the model's performance. RESULTS Seven distinct TPOT models were optimized to distinguish between cerebral cystic metastases and abscesses either based on different features combination or using wavelet transform. The optimal model demonstrated an AUC of 1.00, an accuracy of 0.97, sensitivity of 1.00, and specificity of 0.93 in the internal test set, based on the combination of cystic core and solid wall radiomics signature using wavelet transform. In the external test set, this model reached 1.00 AUC, 0.96 accuracy, 1.00 sensitivity, and 0.93 specificity. CONCLUSION The DWI-based radiomics model established by TPOT exhibits a promising predictive capacity in distinguishing cerebral cystic metastases from abscesses.

Clin Radiol 2024; 79:e305-e316. [PMID: 38000953 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2023.10.022] [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: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
AIM To investigate whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics features of brain metastases (BMs) can predict epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between June 2014 and December 2022, 58 histopathologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma patients (27 with EGFR wild-type, 31 with EGFR mutation) who underwent gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced brain MRI were recruited retrospectively. A total of 123 metastatic brain lesions were allocated randomly into the training cohort (n=86) and test cohort (n=37) at a ratio of 7:3. Radiomics models based on multi-sequence MRI images in different regions such as volume of interest (VOI)enhancing tumour, VOIwholetumour, VOIperitumour 1mm, VOIperitumour 3mm, and VOIperitumour 5mm were built. The optimal radiomics model was integrated into the clinical or radiological indicators to construct a fusion model through multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The optimal radiomics model based on the VOIperitumour 1mm, a combination of nine features selected from the fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence, yielded areas under the curves (AUCs) of >0.75 in the training and test cohorts. The prediction of the fusion model with integration of clinical factors (age) and radiomics score (the optimal radiomics model) was not better than that of the optimal radiomics model alone in the test cohort (AUC: 0.808 and 0.785, respectively, p=0.525). CONCLUSION The FLAIR radiomics model based on VOIperitumour 1mm as an effective biomarker helps predict EGFR mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma patients with BMs and then assists clinicians in selecting optimal treatment strategies.

Acad Radiol 2024; 31:660-683. [PMID: 37120403 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.03.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) render a substantial promise for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status prediction in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to evaluate the performance and quality of AI algorithms that use radiomics features in predicting EGFR mutation status in patient with NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed (Medline), EMBASE, Web of Science, and IEEExplore for studies published up to February 28, 2022. Studies utilizing an AI algorithm (either conventional machine learning [cML] and deep learning [DL]) for predicting EGFR mutations in patients with NSLCL were included. We extracted binary diagnostic accuracy data and constructed a bivariate random-effects model to obtain pooled sensitivity, specificity, and 95% confidence interval. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42021278738. RESULTS Our search identified 460 studies, of which 42 were included. Thirty-five studies were included in the meta-analysis. The AI algorithms exhibited an overall area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.789 and pooled sensitivity and specificity levels of 72.2% and 73.3%, respectively. The DL algorithms outperformed cML in terms of AUC (0.822 vs. 0.775) and sensitivity (80.1% vs. 71.1%), but had lower specificity (70.0% vs. 73.8%, p-value < 0.001) compared to cML. Subgroup analysis revealed that the use of positron-emission tomography/computed tomography, additional clinical information, deep feature extraction, and manual segmentation can improve diagnostic performance. CONCLUSION DL algorithms can serve as a novel method for increasing predictive accuracy and thus have considerable potential for use in predicting EGFR mutation status in patient with NSCLC. We also suggest that guidelines on using AI algorithms in medical image analysis should be developed with a focus on oncologic radiomics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To establish a predictive model based on multisequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using deep learning to identify wild-type (WT) epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), EGFR exon 19 deletion (19Del), and EGFR exon 21-point mutation (21L858R) simultaneously. METHODS A total of 399 patients with proven brain metastases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were retrospectively enrolled and divided into training (n = 306) and testing (n = 93) cohorts separately based on two timepoints. All patients underwent 3.0-T brain MRI including T2-weighted, T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, diffusion-weighted imaging, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted sequences. Radiomics features were extracted from each lesion based on four sequences. An algorithm combining radiomics approach with graph convolutional networks architecture (Radio-GCN) was designed for the prediction of EGFR mutation status and subtype. The area under the curve (AUC) at receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to evaluate the predication capabilities of each model. RESULTS We extracted 1,290 radiomics features from each MRI sequence. The AUCs of the Radio-GCN model for identifying EGFR 19Del, 21L858R, and WT for the lesion-wise analysis were 0.996 ± 0.004, 0.971 ± 0.013, and 1.000 ± 0.000 on the independent testing cohort separately. It also yielded AUCs of 1.000 ± 0.000, 0.991 ± 0.009, and 1.000 ± 0.000 for predicting EGFR mutations respectively for the patient-wise analysis. The κ coefficients were 0.735 and 0.812, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The constructed Radio-GCN model is a new potential tool to predict the EGFR mutation status and subtype in NSCLC patients with brain metastases. RELEVANCE STATEMENT The study demonstrated that a deep learning approach based on multisequence MRI can help to predict the EGFR mutation status in NSCLC patients with brain metastases, which is beneficial to guide a personalized treatment. KEY POINTS • This is the first study to predict the EGFR mutation subtype simultaneously. • The Radio-GCN model holds the potential to be used as a diagnostic tool. • This study provides an imaging surrogate for identifying the EGFR mutation subtype.

CT-based nomogram for early identification of T790M resistance in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer before first-line epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy. Eur Radiol Exp 2023; 7:64. [PMID: 37914925 PMCID: PMC10620367 DOI: 10.1186/s41747-023-00380-7] [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: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the value of computed tomography (CT) radiomics in predicting the risk of developing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M resistance mutation for metastatic non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) patients before first-line EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) therapy. METHODS A total of 162 metastatic NSCLC patients were recruited and split into training and testing cohort. Radiomics features were extracted from tumor lesions on nonenhanced CT (NECT) and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). Radiomics score (rad-score) of two CT scans was calculated respectively. A nomogram combining two CT scans was developed to evaluate T790M resistance within up to 14 months. Patients were followed up to calculate the time of T790M occurrence. Models were evaluated by area under the curve at receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC-AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The association of the nomogram with the time of T790M occurrence was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS The nomogram constructed with the rad-score of NECT and CECT for predicting T790M resistance within 14 months achieved the highest ROC-AUCs of 0.828 and 0.853 in training and testing cohorts, respectively. The DCA showed that the nomogram was clinically useful. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the occurrence time of T790M difference between the high- and low-risk groups distinguished by the rad-score was significant (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The CT-based radiomics signature may provide prognostic information and improve pretreatment risk stratification in EGFR NSCLC patients before EGFR-TKIs therapy. The multimodal radiomics nomogram further improved the capability. RELEVANCE STATEMENT Radiomics based on NECT and CECT images can effectively identify and stratify the risk of T790M resistance before the first-line TKIs treatment in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients. KEY POINTS • Early identification of the risk of T790M resistance before TKIs treatment is clinically relevant. • Multimodel radiomics nomogram holds potential to be a diagnostic tool. • It provided an imaging surrogate for identifying the pretreatment risk of T790M.
