LA RADIOLOGIA MEDICA 2024; 129:252-267. [PMID: 38015363 DOI: 10.1007/s11547-023-01750-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate an iodine maps-based radiomics nomogram for preoperatively predicting cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 278 patients who pathologically confirmed as HNSCC were retrospectively recruited from two medical centers between June 2012 and July 2022. The training set (n = 152) and internal set (n = 67) were randomly selected from medical center A, and the patients from medical center B were enrolled as the external set (n = 69). The minority group in the training set was balanced by the adaptive synthetic sampling (ADASYN) approach. Radiomics features were extracted from dual-energy CT-derived iodine maps at arterial phase (AP) and venous phase (VP), respectively. Three radiomics signatures were constructed to predict the LNM by using a random forest algorithm. The independent clinical predictors for LNM were identified by multivariate analysis and combined with radiomics signatures to establish a radiomic-clinical nomogram. The performance of radiomic-clinical nomogram was evaluated with respect to its discrimination and clinical usefulness. RESULTS The AP-VP-incorporated radiomics model exhibited a great predictive performance for LNM prediction with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.885 (95% CI, 0.836-0.933) in ADASYN-training set and confirmed in all validation sets. The nomogram that incorporated AP-VP radiomics signatures, CT-reported LN status, and histological grades yielded AUCs of 0.920 (95% CI, 0.881-0.959) in ADASYN-training set, 0.858 (95% CI, 0.771-0.944) in internal validation, and 0.849 (95% CI, 0.752-0.946) in external validation, with good calibration in all cohorts (p > 0.05). Decision curve analyses indicated the nomogram was clinically useful. In addition, the predictive performance of clinical-radiomics nomogram was also validation in combing cohorts. Stratified analysis confirmed the stability of nomogram, particularly in group negative for CT-reported LNM. CONCLUSION Clinical-radiomics nomogram based on iodine maps exhibited promising performance in predicting LNM and providing valuable information for making individualized therapy decisions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to determine whether radiomics models based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) have considerable ability to predict serosal involvement in gallbladder cancer (GBC) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 152 patients diagnosed with GBC were retrospectively enrolled and divided into the serosal involvement group and no serosal involvement group according to paraffin pathology results. The regions of interest (ROIs) in the lesion on all CT images were drawn by two radiologists using ITK-SNAP software (version 3.8.0). A total of 412 features were extracted from the CT images of each patient. The Mann‒Whitney U test was applied to identify features with significant differences between groups. Seven machine learning algorithms and a deep learning model based on fully connected neural networks (f-CNNs) were used for radiomics model construction. The prediction efficacy of the models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS Through the Mann‒Whitney U test, 75 of the 412 features extracted from the CT images of patients were significantly different between groups (P < 0.05). Among all the algorithms, logistic regression achieved the highest performance with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.944 (sensitivity 0.889, specificity 0.8); the f-CNN deep learning model had an AUC of 0.916, and the model showed high predictive power for serosal involvement, with a sensitivity of 0.733 and a specificity of 0.801. CONCLUSION Radiomics models based on features derived from CECT showed convincing performances in predicting serosal involvement in GBC.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Computed tomography (CT) is an important auxiliary tool for the diagnosis, evaluation, and prognosis prediction of gastrointestinal tumors. Spectral CT is another major CT revolution after spiral CT and multidetector CT. Compared to traditional CT which only provides single-parameter anatomical diagnostic mode imaging, spectral CT can achieve multi-parameter imaging and provide a wealth of image information to optimize disease diagnosis. In recent years, with the rapid development and application of spectral CT, more and more studies on the application of spectral CT in the characterization of GI tumors have been published. For this review, we obtained a substantial volume of literature, focusing on spectral CT imaging of gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal, stomach, colorectal, liver, and pancreatic cancers. We found that spectral CT can not only accurately stage gastrointestinal tumors before operation but also distinguish benign and malignant GI tumors with improved image quality, and effectively evaluate the therapeutic response and prognosis of the lesions. In addition, this paper also discusses the limitations and prospects of using spectral CT in GI cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Background and Objective Artificial intelligence (AI) is a revolutionary technique which is deeply impacting and reshaping clinical practice in oncology. This review aims to summarize the current status of the clinical application of AI-based computed tomography (CT) for gastric cancer (GC), focusing on diagnosis, genetic status detection and risk prediction of metastasis, prognosis and treatment efficacy. The challenges and prospects for future research will also be discussed. Methods We searched the PubMed/MEDLINE database to identify clinical studies published between 1990 and November 2022 that investigated AI applications in CT in GC. The major findings of the verified studies were summarized. Key Content and Findings AI applications in CT images have attracted considerable attention in various fields such as diagnosis, prediction of metastasis risk, survival, and treatment response. These emerging techniques have shown a high potential to outperform clinicians in diagnostic accuracy and time-saving. Conclusions AI-powered tools showed great potential to increase diagnostic accuracy and reduce radiologists' workload. However, the goal of AI is not to replace human ability but to help oncologists make decisions in their practice. Therefore, radiologists should play a predominant role in AI applications and decide the best ways to integrate these complementary techniques within clinical practice.

Robustness of radiomics features of virtual unenhanced and virtual monoenergetic images in dual-energy CT among different imaging platforms and potential role of CT number variability. Insights Imaging 2023; 14:79. [PMID: 37166511 PMCID: PMC10175529 DOI: 10.1186/s13244-023-01426-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate robustness of dual-energy CT (DECT) radiomics features of virtual unenhanced (VUE) image and virtual monoenergetic image (VMI) among different imaging platforms. METHODS A phantom with sixteen clinical-relevant densities was scanned on ten DECT platforms with comparable scan parameters. Ninety-four radiomic features were extracted via Pyradiomics from VUE images and VMIs at energy level of 70 keV (VMI70keV). Test-retest repeatability was assessed by Bland-Altman analysis. Inter-platform reproducibility of VUE images and VMI70keV was evaluated by coefficient of variation (CV) and quartile coefficient of dispersion (QCD) among platforms, and by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) between platform pairs. The correlation between variability of CT number radiomics reproducibility was estimated. RESULTS 92.02% and 92.87% of features were repeatable between scan-rescans for VUE images and VMI70keV, respectively. Among platforms, 11.30% and 28.39% features of VUE images, and 15.16% and 28.99% features of VMI70keV were with CV < 10% and QCD < 10%. The average percentages of radiomics features with ICC > 0.90 and CCC > 0.90 between platform pairs were 10.00% and 9.86% in VUE images and 11.23% and 11.23% in VMI70keV. The CT number inter-platform reproducibility using CV and QCD showed negative correlations with percentage of the first-order radiomics features with CV < 10% and QCD < 10%, in both VUE images and VMI70keV (r2 0.3870-0.6178, all p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The majority of DECT radiomics features were non-reproducible. The differences in CT number were considered as an indicator of inter-platform DECT radiomics variation. Critical relevance statement: The majority of radiomics features extracted from the VUE images and the VMI70keV were non-reproducible among platforms, while synchronizing energy levels of VMI to reduce the CT number value variability may be a potential way to mitigate radiomics instability.

Development and validation of a radiomic nomogram based on pretherapy dual-energy CT for distinguishing adenocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Front Oncol 2022; 12:949111. [PMID: 36505773 PMCID: PMC9727167 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.949111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Based on pretherapy dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) images, we developed and validated a nomogram combined with clinical parameters and radiomic features to predict the pathologic subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) - adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Methods A total of 129 pathologically confirmed NSCLC patients treated at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from October 2017 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were randomly divided in a ratio of 7:3 (n=90) into training and validation cohorts (n=39). Patients' pretherapy clinical parameters were recorded. Radiomics features of the primary lesion were extracted from two sets of monoenergetic images (40 keV and 100 keV) in arterial phases (AP) and venous phases (VP). Features were selected successively through the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was then performed to establish predictive models. The prediction performance between models was evaluated and compared using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, DeLong test, and Akaike information criterion (AIC). A nomogram was developed based on the model with the best predictive performance to evaluate its calibration and clinical utility. Results A total of 87 ADC and 42 SCC patients were enrolled in this study. Among the five constructed models, the integrative model (AUC: Model 4 = 0.92, Model 5 = 0.93) combining clinical parameters and radiomic features had a higher AUC than the individual clinical models or radiomic models (AUC: Model 1 = 0.84, Model 2 = 0.79, Model 3 = 0.84). The combined clinical-venous phase radiomics model had the best predictive performance, goodness of fit, and parsimony; the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the training and validation cohorts was 0.93 and 0.90, respectively, and the AIC value was 60.16. Then, this model was visualized as a nomogram. The calibration curves demonstrated it's good calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA) proved its clinical utility. Conclusion The combined clinical-radiomics model based on pretherapy DECT showed good performance in distinguishing ADC and SCC of the lung. The nomogram constructed based on the best-performing combined clinical-venous phase radiomics model provides a relatively accurate, convenient and noninvasive method for predicting the pathological subtypes of ADC and SCC in NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A non-invasive tool for tumor regression grade (TRG) evaluation is urgently needed for gastric cancer (GC) treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). PURPOSE To develop and validate a radiomics signature (RS) to evaluate TRG for locally advanced GC after NAC and assess its prognostic value. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 103 patients with GC treated with NAC were retrospectively recruited from April 2018 to December 2019 and were randomly allocated into a training cohort (n = 69) and a validation cohort (n = 34). Delineation was performed on both mixed and iodine-uptake images based on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT). A total of 4094 radiomics features were extracted from the pre-NAC, post-NAC, and delta feature sets. Spearman correlation and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were used for dimensionality reduction. Multivariable logistic regression was used for TRG evaluation and generated the optimal RS. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with the log-rank test was implemented in an independent cohort of 40 patients to validate the prognostic value of the optimal RS. RESULTS Three, five, and six radiomics features were finally selected for the pre-NAC, post-NAC, and delta feature sets. The delta model demonstrated the best performance in assessing TRG in both the training and the validation cohorts (AUCs=0.91 and 0.76, respectively; P>0.1). The optimal RS from the delta model showed a significant capability to predict survival in the independent cohort (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Delta radiomics based on DECT images serves as a potential biomarker for TRG evaluation and shows prognostic value for patients with GC treated with NAC.

Enhanced CT-based radiomics predicts pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction: a two-center study. Insights Imaging 2022; 13:134. [PMID: 35976518 PMCID: PMC9385906 DOI: 10.1186/s13244-022-01273-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to develop and validate CT-based models to predict pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). Methods Pre-NAC clinical and imaging data of AEG patients who underwent surgical resection after preoperative-NAC at two centers were retrospectively collected from November 2014 to September 2020. The dataset included training (n = 60) and external validation groups (n = 32). Three models, including CT-based radiomics, clinical and radiomics–clinical combined models, were established to differentiate pCR (tumor regression grade (TRG) = grade 0) and nonpCR (TRG = grade 1–3) patients. For the radiomics model, tumor-region-based radiomics features in the arterial and venous phases were extracted and selected. The naïve Bayes classifier was used to establish arterial- and venous-phase radiomics models. The selected candidate clinical factors were used to establish a clinical model, which was further incorporated into the radiomics–clinical combined model. ROC analysis, calibration and decision curves were used to assess the model performance. Results For the radiomics model, the AUC values obtained using the venous data were higher than those obtained using the arterial data (training: 0.751 vs. 0.736; validation: 0.768 vs. 0.750). Borrmann typing, tumor thickness and degree of differentiation were utilized to establish the clinical model (AUC-training: 0.753; AUC-validation: 0.848). The combination of arterial- and venous-phase radiomics and clinical factors further improved the discriminatory performance of the model (AUC-training: 0.838; AUC-validation: 0.902). The decision curve reflects the higher net benefit of the combined model. Conclusion The combination of CT imaging and clinical factors pre-NAC for advanced AEG could help stratify potential responsiveness to NAC.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to introduce differential dose−volume histogram (dDVH) features into machine learning for radiation pneumonitis (RP) prediction and to demonstrate the predictive performance of the developed model based on integrated cumulative dose−volume histogram (cDVH) and dDVH features. Materials and methods: cDVH and dDVH features were calculated for 153 patients treated for non-small-cell lung cancer with 60−66 Gy and dose bins ranging from 2 to 8 Gy in 2 Gy increments. RP prediction models were developed with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) through fivefold cross-validation. Results: Among the 152 patients in the patient cohort, 41 presented ≥grade 2 RP. The interdependencies between cDVH features evaluated by Spearman’s correlation were significantly resolved by the inclusion of dDVH features. The average area under curve for the RP prediction model using cDVH and dDVH model was 0.73, which was higher than the average area under curve using cDVH model for 0.62 with statistically significance (p < 0.01). An analysis using the entire set of regression coefficients determined by LASSO demonstrated that dDVH features represented four of the top five frequently selected features in the model fitting, regardless of dose bin. Conclusions: We successfully developed an RP prediction model that integrated cDVH and dDVH features. The best RP prediction model was achieved using dDVH (dose bin = 4 Gy) features in the machine learning process.

Diagnosis of Serosal Invasion in Gastric Adenocarcinoma by Dual-Energy CT Radiomics: Focusing on Localized Gastric Wall and Peritumoral Radiomics Features. Front Oncol 2022; 12:848425. [PMID: 35387116 PMCID: PMC8977467 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.848425] [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: 01/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To build a radiomics model and combined model based on dual-energy CT (DECT) for diagnosing serosal invasion in gastric adenocarcinoma. Materials and methods 231 gastric adenocarcinoma patients were enrolled and randomly divided into a training (n = 132), testing (n = 58), and independent validation (n = 41) cohort. Radiomics features were extracted from the rectangular ROI of the 120-kV equivalent mixed images and iodine map (IM) images in the venous phase of DECT, which was manually delineated perpendicularly to the gastric wall in the deepest location of tumor infiltration, including the peritumoral adipose tissue within 5 mm outside the serosa. The random forest algorithm was used for radiomics model construction. Traditional features were collected by two radiologists. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to construct the clinical model and combined model. The diagnostic efficacy of the models was evaluated using ROC curve analysis and compared using the Delong's test. The calibration curves were used to evaluate the calibration performance of the combined model. Results Both the radiomics model and combined model showed high efficacy in diagnosing serosal invasion in the training, testing and independent validation cohort, with AUC of 0.90, 0.90, and 0.85 for radiomics model; 0.93, 0.93, and 0.89 for combined model. The combined model outperformed the clinical model (AUC: 0.76, 0.76 and 0.81). Conclusion The radiomics model and combined model constructed based on tumoral and peritumoral radiomics features derived from DECT showed high diagnostic efficacy for serosal invasion in gastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
AbstractGallbladder diseases are common and include a spectrum ranging from benign to cancer. Imaging plays an integral role in the diagnosis and in guiding appropriate management. While most patients with gallstone (GS) diseases can be evaluated with ultrasound, those with complicated GS disease, suspicion of cancer, or staging of cancer need additional cross-sectional imaging. Computed tomography (CT) is widely available and is often the imaging test of choice following an equivocal ultrasound or negative ultrasound in patients with unexplained symptoms. Conventional CT has limited sensitivity in detecting GS or common bile duct stones. In other scenarios, including diagnosis of acute cholecystitis (AC) and characterization of gallbladder wall thickening, an increase in accuracy using novel techniques is desirable. Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is increasingly incorporated into clinical practice. DECT has shown promising results in the detection of cholesterol stones that otherwise go unnoticed on conventional CT. However, its role beyond GS disease has largely been unexplored. In this review, we discuss the available literature on the DECT in biliary diseases and discuss the potential applications of this technique.

Predicting Response to Systemic Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer Using Pre-Treatment Dual-Energy CT Radiomics: A Pilot Study. Front Oncol 2021; 11:740732. [PMID: 34604085 PMCID: PMC8480311 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.740732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To build and assess a pre-treatment dual-energy CT-based clinical-radiomics nomogram for the individualized prediction of clinical response to systemic chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Methods A total of 69 pathologically confirmed AGC patients who underwent dual-energy CT before systemic chemotherapy were enrolled from two centers in this retrospective study. Treatment response was determined with follow-up CT according to the RECIST standard. Quantitative radiomics metrics of the primary lesion were extracted from three sets of monochromatic images (40, 70, and 100 keV) at venous phase. Univariate analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were used to select the most relevant radiomics features. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to establish a clinical model, three monochromatic radiomics models, and a combined multi-energy model. ROC analysis and DeLong test were used to evaluate and compare the predictive performance among models. A clinical-radiomics nomogram was developed; moreover, its discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness were assessed. Result Among the included patients, 24 responded to the systemic chemotherapy. Clinical stage and the iodine concentration (IC) of the tumor were significant clinical predictors of chemotherapy response (all p < 0.05). The multi-energy radiomics model showed a higher predictive capability (AUC = 0.914) than two monochromatic radiomics models and the clinical model (AUC: 40 keV = 0.747, 70 keV = 0.793, clinical = 0.775); however, the predictive accuracy of the 100-keV model (AUC: 0.881) was not statistically different (p = 0.221). The clinical-radiomics nomogram integrating the multi-energy radiomics signature with IC value and clinical stage showed good calibration and discrimination with an AUC of 0.934. Decision curve analysis proved the clinical usefulness of the nomogram and multi-energy radiomics model. Conclusion The pre-treatment DECT-based clinical-radiomics nomogram showed good performance in predicting clinical response to systemic chemotherapy in AGC, which may contribute to clinical decision-making and improving patient survival.
