Radiomics-Based Machine Learning Technology Enables Better Differentiation Between Glioblastoma and Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The aim of this study was to test whether radiomics-based machine learning can enable the better differentiation between glioblastoma (GBM) and anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO). Methods: This retrospective study involved 126 patients histologically diagnosed as GBM (n = 76) or AO (n = 50) in our institution from January 2015 to December 2018. A total number of 40 three-dimensional texture features were extracted from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images using LIFEx package. Six diagnostic models were established with selection methods and classifiers. The optimal radiomics features were separately selected into three datasets with three feature selection methods [distance correlation, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT)]. Then datasets were separately adopted into linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. Specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, and area under curve (AUC) of each model were calculated to evaluate their diagnostic performances. Results: The diagnostic performance of machine learning models was superior to human readers. Both classifiers showed promising ability in discrimination with AUC more than 0.900 when combined with suitable feature selection method. For LDA-based models, the AUC of models were 0.986, 0.994, and 0.970 in the testing group, respectively. For the SVM-based models, the AUC of models were 0.923, 0.817, and 0.500 in the testing group, respectively. The over-fitting model was GBDT + SVM, suggesting that this model was too volatile that unsuitable for classification. Conclusion: This study indicates radiomics-based machine learning has the potential to be utilized in clinically discriminating GBM from AO.

Project description:BackgroundCerebral alveolar echinococcosis (CAE) and brain metastases (BM) share similar in locations and imaging appearance. However, they require distinct treatment approaches, with CAE typically treated with chemotherapy and surgery, while BM is managed with radiotherapy and targeted therapy for the primary malignancy. Accurate diagnosis is crucial due to the divergent treatment strategies.PurposeThis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of radiomics and machine learning techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to differentiate between CAE and BM.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed MRI images of 130 patients (30 CAE and 100 BM) from Xinjiang Medical University First Affiliated Hospital and The First People's Hospital of Kashi Prefecture, between January 2014 and December 2022. The dataset was divided into training (91 cases) and testing (39 cases) sets. Three dimensional tumors were segmented by radiologists from contrast-enhanced T1WI images on open resources software 3D Slicer. Features were extracted on Pyradiomics, further feature reduction was carried out using univariate analysis, correlation analysis, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Finally, we built five machine learning models, support vector machine, logistic regression, linear discrimination analysis, k-nearest neighbors classifier, and Gaussian naïve bias and evaluated their performance via several metrics including sensitivity (recall), specificity, positive predictive value (precision), negative predictive value, accuracy and the area under the curve (AUC).ResultsThe area under curve (AUC) of support vector classifier (SVC), linear discrimination analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and gaussian naïve bias (NB) algorithms in training (testing) sets are 0.99 (0.94), 1.00 (0.87), 0.98 (0.92), 0.97 (0.97), and 0.98 (0.93), respectively. Nested cross-validation demonstrated the robustness and generalizability of the models. Additionally, the calibration plot and decision curve analysis demonstrated the practical usefulness of these models in clinical practice, with lower bias toward different subgroups during decision-making.ConclusionThe combination of radiomics and machine learning approach based on contrast enhanced T1WI images could well distinguish CAE and BM. This approach holds promise in assisting doctors with accurate diagnosis and clinical decision-making.
