Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the diagnostic value of multimodal MRI radiomics based on T2-weighted fluid attenuated inversion recovery imaging (T2WI-FLAIR) combined with T1-weighted contrast enhanced imaging (T1WI-CE) in the early differentiation of high-grade glioma recurrence from pseudoprogression.
Methods
A total of one hundred eighteen patients with brain gliomas who were diagnosed from March 2014 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the clinical characteristics, the patients were randomly split into a training group (n = 83) and a test group (n = 35) at a 7 : 3 ratio. The region of interest (ROI) was delineated, and 2632 radiomic features were extracted. We used multiple logistic regression to establish a classification model, including the T1 model, T2 model, and T1 + T2 model, to differentiate recurrence from pseudoprogression. The diagnostic efficiency of the model was evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy (ACC) and by analyzing the calibration curve of the nomogram and decision curve.
Results
There were 75 cases of recurrence and 43 cases of pseudoprogression. The diagnostic efficacies of the multimodal MRI-based radiomic model were relatively high. The AUC values and ACC of the training group were 0.831 and 77.11%, respectively, and the AUC values and ACC of the test group were 0.829 and 88.57%, respectively. The calibration curve of the nomogram showed that the discrimination probability was consistent with the actual occurrence in the training group, and the discrimination probability was roughly the same as the actual occurrence in the test group. In the decision curve analysis, the T1 + T2 model showed greater overall net efficiency.
Conclusion
The multimodal MRI radiomic model has relatively high efficiency in the early differentiation of recurrence from pseudoprogression, and it could be helpful for clinicians in devising correct treatment plans so that patients can be treated in a timely and accurate manner.
