Dataset Information

Integrated models incorporating radiologic and radiomic features predict meningioma grade, local failure, and overall survival.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We investigated prognostic models based on clinical, radiologic, and radiomic feature to preoperatively identify meningiomas at risk for poor outcomes.

Methods

Retrospective review was performed for 303 patients who underwent resection of 314 meningiomas (57% World Health Organization grade I, 35% grade II, and 8% grade III) at two independent institutions, which comprised primary and external datasets. For each patient in the primary dataset, 16 radiologic and 172 radiomic features were extracted from preoperative magnetic resonance images, and prognostic features for grade, local failure (LF) or overall survival (OS) were identified using the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank tests and recursive partitioning analysis. Regressions and random forests were used to generate and test prognostic models, which were validated using the external dataset.

Results

Multivariate analysis revealed that apparent diffusion coefficient hypointensity (HR 5.56, 95% CI 2.01-16.7, P = .002) was associated with high grade meningioma, and low sphericity was associated both with increased LF (HR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1-3.5, P = .02) and worse OS (HR 2.94, 95% CI 1.47-5.56, P = .002). Both radiologic and radiomic predictors of adverse meningioma outcomes were significantly associated with molecular markers of aggressive meningioma biology, such as somatic mutation burden, DNA methylation status, and FOXM1 expression. Integrated prognostic models combining clinical, radiologic, and radiomic features demonstrated improved accuracy for meningioma grade, LF, and OS (area under the curve 0.78, 0.75, and 0.78, respectively) compared to models based on clinical features alone.

Conclusions

Preoperative radiologic and radiomic features such as apparent diffusion coefficient and sphericity can predict tumor grade, LF, and OS in patients with meningioma.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to establish a dedicated deep-learning model (DLM) on routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to investigate DLM performance in automated detection and segmentation of meningiomas in comparison to manual segmentations. Another purpose of our work was to develop a radiomics model based on the radiomics features extracted from automatic segmentation to differentiate low- and high-grade meningiomas before surgery.MaterialsA total of 326 patients with pathologically confirmed meningiomas were enrolled. Samples were randomly split with a 6:2:2 ratio to the training set, validation set, and test set. Volumetric regions of interest (VOIs) were manually drawn on each slice using the ITK-SNAP software. An automatic segmentation model based on SegResNet was developed for the meningioma segmentation. Segmentation performance was evaluated by dice coefficient and 95% Hausdorff distance. Intra class correlation (ICC) analysis was applied to assess the agreement between radiomic features from manual and automatic segmentations. Radiomics features derived from automatic segmentation were extracted by pyradiomics. After feature selection, a model for meningiomas grading was built.ResultsThe DLM detected meningiomas in all cases. For automatic segmentation, the mean dice coefficient and 95% Hausdorff distance were 0.881 (95% CI: 0.851-0.981) and 2.016 (95% CI:1.439-3.158) in the test set, respectively. Features extracted on manual and automatic segmentation are comparable: the average ICC value was 0.804 (range, 0.636-0.933). Features extracted on manual and automatic segmentation are comparable: the average ICC value was 0.804 (range, 0.636-0.933). For meningioma classification, the radiomics model based on automatic segmentation performed well in grading meningiomas, yielding a sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.778 (95% CI: 0.701-0.856), 0.860 (95% CI: 0.722-0.908), 0.848 (95% CI: 0.715-0.903) and 0.842 (95% CI: 0.807-0.895) in the test set, respectively.ConclusionsThe DLM yielded favorable automated detection and segmentation of meningioma and can help deploy radiomics for preoperative meningioma differentiation in clinical practice.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with persistent pulmonary subsolid nodules have a relatively high incidence of lung adenocarcinoma. Preoperative early diagnosis of invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma spectrum lesions could help avoid extensive advanced cancer management and overdiagnosis in lung cancer screening programs.MethodsIn total, 260 consecutive patients with persistent subsolid nodules ≤30 mm (n=260) confirmed by surgical pathology were retrospectively investigated from February 2016 to August 2020 at the Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital. All patients underwent surgical resection within 3 months of the chest CT exam. The study subjects were divided into a training cohort (N=195) and a validation cohort (N=65) at a ratio of 3:1. The purpose of our study was to develop and validate a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-derived nomogram integrating semantic-radiomic features in differentiating preinvasive and invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesions, and compare its predictive value with clinical-semantic, semantic, and radiologist's performance.ResultsIn the training cohort of 195 subsolid nodules, 106 invasive lesions and 89 preinvasive lesions were identified. We developed a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-derived combined nomogram prediction model based on six predictors (nodular size, CTR, roundness, GLCM_Entropy_log10, HISTO_Entropy_log10, and CONVENTIONAL_Humean) to predict the invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesions. Compared with other predictive models, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-derived model showed better diagnostic performance with an area under the curve of 0.957 (95% CI: 0.918 to 0.981) for detecting invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesions with balanced sensitivity (92.45%) and specificity (88.64%). The results of Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed P values of 0.394 and 0.787 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively, indicating good calibration power.ConclusionsWe developed a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-derived model integrating semantic-radiomic features with good calibration. This nomogram may help physicians to identify invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesions for guidance in personalized medicine and make more informed decisions on managing subsolid nodules.
