We aimed to develop and validate a multiparametric MR radiomics model using conventional, diffusion-, and perfusion-weighted MR imaging for better prognostication in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. A total of 216 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma were enrolled from two tertiary medical centers and divided into training (n = 158) and external validation sets (n = 58). Radiomic features were extracted from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, fluid-attenuated inversion recov ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundPseudoprogression is a diagnostic challenge in early posttreatment glioblastoma. We therefore developed and validated a radiomics model using multiparametric MRI to differentiate pseudoprogression from early tumor progression in patients with glioblastoma.MethodsThe model was developed from the enlarging contrast-enhancing portions of 61 glioblastomas within 3 months after standard treatment with 6472 radiomic features being obtained from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) maps. Imaging features were selected using a LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) logistic regression model with 10-fold cross-validation. Diagnostic performance for pseudoprogression was compared with that for single parameters (mean and minimum ADC and mean and maximum CBV) and single imaging radiomics models using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC). The model was validated with an external cohort (n = 34) imaged on a different scanner and internal prospective registry data (n = 23).ResultsTwelve significant radiomic features (3 from conventional, 2 from diffusion, and 7 from perfusion MRI) were selected for model construction. The multiparametric radiomics model (AUC, 0.90) showed significantly better performance than any single ADC or CBV parameter (AUC, 0.57-0.79, P < 0.05), and better than a single radiomics model using conventional MRI (AUC, 0.76, P = 0.012), ADC (AUC, 0.78, P = 0.014), or CBV (AUC, 0.80, P = 0.43). The multiparametric radiomics showed higher performance in the external validation (AUC, 0.85) and internal validation (AUC, 0.96) than any single approach, thus demonstrating robustness.ConclusionsIncorporating diffusion- and perfusion-weighted MRI into a radiomics model improved diagnostic performance for identifying pseudoprogression and showed robustness in a multicenter setting.

Project description:PurposeWith current gold standard treatment, which associates maximum safe surgery and chemo-radiation, the large majority of glioblastoma patients relapse within a year in the peritumoral non contrast-enhanced region (NCE). A subpopulation of glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSC) are known to be particularly radio-resistant and aggressive, and are thus suspected to be the cause of these relapses. Previous studies have shown that their distribution is heterogeneous in the NCE compartment, but no study exists on the sensitivity of medical imaging for localizing these cells. In this work, we propose to study the magnetic resonance (MR) signature of these infiltrative cells.MethodsIn the context of a clinical trial on 16 glioblastoma patients, relative Cerebral Blood Volume (rCBV) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) were measured in a preoperative diffusion and perfusion MRI examination. During surgery, two biopsies were extracted using image-guidance in the hyperintensities-FLAIR region. GSC subpopulation was quantified within the biopsies and then cultivated in selective conditions to determine their density and aggressiveness.ResultsLow ADC was found to be a good predictor of the time to GSC neurospheres formation in vitro. In addition, GSCs were found in higher concentrations in areas with high rCBV.ConclusionsThis study confirms that GSCs have a critical role for glioblastoma aggressiveness and supports the idea that peritumoral sites with low ADC or high rCBV should be preferably removed when possible during surgery and targeted by radiotherapy.

Project description:Radiomics has been proposed as a useful approach to extrapolate novel morphological and textural information from brain Magnetic resonance images (MRI). Radiomics analysis has shown unique potential in the diagnostic work-up and in the follow-up of patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. However, the potentiality of this technique in distinguishing frontotemporal dementia (FTD) subtypes has so far not been investigated. In this study, we explored the usefulness of radiomic features in differentiating FTD subtypes, namely, the behavioral variant of FTD (bvFTD), the non-fluent and/or agrammatic (PNFA) and semantic (svPPA) variants of a primary progressive aphasia (PPA). Classification analyses were performed on 3 Tesla T1-weighted images obtained from the Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration Neuroimaging Initiative. We included 49 patients with bvFTD, 25 patients with PNFA, 34 patients with svPPA, and 60 healthy controls. Texture analyses were conducted to define the first-order statistic and textural features in cortical and subcortical brain regions. Recursive feature elimination was used to select the radiomics signature for each pairwise comparison followed by a classification framework based on a support vector machine. Finally, 10-fold cross-validation was used to assess classification performances. The radiomics-based approach successfully identified the brain regions typically involved in each FTD subtype, achieving a mean accuracy of more than 80% in distinguishing between patient groups. Note mentioning is that radiomics features extracted in the left temporal regions allowed achieving an accuracy of 91 and 94% in distinguishing patients with svPPA from those with PNFA and bvFTD, respectively. Radiomics features show excellent classification performances in distinguishing FTD subtypes, supporting the clinical usefulness of this approach in the diagnostic work-up of FTD.

Project description:BackgroundAn accurate prediction of tissue outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients is of high interest for treatment decision making. To date, various machine learning models have been proposed that combine multi-parametric imaging data for this purpose. However, most of these machine learning models were trained using voxel information extracted from the whole brain, without taking differences in susceptibility to ischemia into account that exist between brain regions. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a local tissue outcome prediction approach, which makes predictions using locally trained machine learning models and thus accounts for regional differences.Material and methodsMulti-parametric MRI data from 99 acute ischemic stroke patients were used for the development and evaluation of the local tissue outcome prediction approach. Diffusion (ADC) and perfusion parameter maps (CBF, CBV, MTT, Tmax) and corresponding follow-up lesion masks for each patient were registered to the MNI brain atlas. Logistic regression (LR) and random forest (RF) models were trained employing a local approach, which makes predictions using models individually trained for each specific voxel position using the corresponding local data. A global approach, which uses a single model trained using all voxels of the brain, was used for comparison. Tissue outcome predictions resulting from the global and local RF and LR models, as well as a combined (hybrid) approach were quantitatively evaluated and compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC), the Dice coefficient, and the sensitivity and specificity metrics.ResultsStatistical analysis revealed the highest ROC AUC and Dice values for the hybrid approach. With 0.872 (ROC AUC; LR) and 0.353 (Dice; RF), these values were significantly higher (p < 0.01) than the values of the two other approaches. In addition, the local approach achieved the highest sensitivity of 0.448 (LR). Overall, the hybrid approach was only outperformed in sensitivity (LR) by the local approach and in specificity by both other approaches. However, in these cases the effect sizes were comparatively small.ConclusionThe results of this study suggest that using locally trained machine learning models can lead to better lesion outcome prediction results compared to a single global machine learning model trained using all voxel information independent of the location in the brain.

Project description:ObjectivesTo explore the potential of Radiomics alone and in combination with a diffusion-weighted derived quantitative parameter, namely the apparent diffusion co-efficient (ADC), using supervised classification algorithms in the prediction of outcomes and prognosis.Materials and methodsRetrospective evaluation of the imaging was conducted for a study cohort of uterine cervical cancer, candidates for radical treatment with chemo radiation. ADC values were calculated from the darkest part of the tumor, both before (labeled preADC) and post treatment (labeled postADC) with chemo radiation. Post extraction of 851 Radiomics features and feature selection analysis-by taking the union of the features that had Pearson correlation >0.35 for recurrence, >0.49 for lymph node and >0.40 for metastasis-was performed to predict clinical outcomes.ResultsThe study enrolled 52 patients who presented with variable FIGO stages in the age range of 28-79 (Median = 53 years) with a median follow-up of 26.5 months (range: 7-76 months). Disease recurrence occurred in 12 patients (23%). Metastasis occurred in 15 patients (28%). A model generated with 24 radiomics features and preADC using a monotone multi-layer perceptron neural network to predict the recurrence yields an AUC of 0.80 and a Kappa value of 0.55 and shows that the addition of radiomics features to ADC values improves the statistical metrics by approximately 40% for AUC and approximately 223% for Kappa. Similarly, the neural network model for prediction of metastasis returns an AUC value of 0.84 and a Kappa value of 0.65, thus exceeding performance expectations by approximately 25% for AUC and approximately 140% for Kappa. There was a significant input of GLSZM features (SALGLE and LGLZE) and GLDM features (SDLGLE and DE) in correlation with clinical outcomes of recurrence and metastasis.ConclusionsThe study is an effort to bridge the unmet need of translational predictive biomarkers in the stratification of uterine cervical cancer patients based on prognosis.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate stability and machine learning-based classification performance of radiomic features of spine bone tumors using diffusion- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Material and methodsThis retrospective study included 101 patients with histology-proven spine bone tumor (22 benign; 38 primary malignant; 41 metastatic). All tumor volumes were manually segmented on morphologic T2-weighted sequences. The same region of interest (ROI) was used to perform radiomic analysis on ADC map. A total of 1702 radiomic features was considered. Feature stability was assessed through small geometrical transformations of the ROIs mimicking multiple manual delineations. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) quantified feature stability. Feature selection consisted of stability-based (ICC > 0.75) and significance-based selections (ranking features by decreasing Mann-Whitney p-value). Class balancing was performed to oversample the minority (i.e., benign) class. Selected features were used to train and test a support vector machine (SVM) to discriminate benign from malignant spine tumors using tenfold cross-validation.ResultsA total of 76.4% radiomic features were stable. The quality metrics for the SVM were evaluated as a function of the number of selected features. The radiomic model with the best performance and the lowest number of features for classifying tumor types included 8 features. The metrics were 78% sensitivity, 68% specificity, 76% accuracy and AUC 0.78.ConclusionSVM classifiers based on radiomic features extracted from T2- and diffusion-weighted imaging with ADC map are promising for classification of spine bone tumors. Radiomic features of spine bone tumors show good reproducibility rates.

Project description:PurposeDiffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is a contrast-free modality that has demonstrated ability to discriminate between predefined benign and malignant breast lesions. However, how well DW-MRI discriminates cancer from all other breast tissue voxels in a clinical setting is unknown. Here we explore the voxelwise ability to distinguish cancer from healthy breast tissue using signal contributions from the newly developed three-component multi-b-value DW-MRI model.Experimental designPatients with pathology-proven breast cancer from two datasets (n = 81 and n = 25) underwent multi-b-value DW-MRI. The three-component signal contributions C 1 and C 2 and their product, C 1 C 2, and signal fractions F 1, F 2, and F 1 F 2 were compared with the image defined on maximum b-value (DWI max), conventional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and apparent diffusion kurtosis (K app). The ability to discriminate between cancer and healthy breast tissue was assessed by the false-positive rate given a sensitivity of 80% (FPR80) and ROC AUC.ResultsMean FPR80 for both datasets was 0.016 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.008-0.024] for C 1 C 2, 0.136 (95% CI, 0.092-0.180) for C 1, 0.068 (95% CI, 0.049-0.087) for C 2, 0.462 (95% CI, 0.425-0.499) for F 1 F 2, 0.832 (95% CI, 0.797-0.868) for F 1, 0.176 (95% CI, 0.150-0.203) for F 2, 0.159 (95% CI, 0.114-0.204) for DWI max, 0.731 (95% CI, 0.692-0.770) for ADC, and 0.684 (95% CI, 0.660-0.709) for K app. Mean ROC AUC for C 1 C 2 was 0.984 (95% CI, 0.977-0.991).ConclusionsThe C 1 C 2 parameter of the three-component model yields a clinically useful discrimination between cancer and healthy breast tissue, superior to other DW-MRI methods and obliviating predefining lesions. This novel DW-MRI method may serve as noncontrast alternative to standard-of-care dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.

Project description:PurposeTo 1) describe textural features from diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps that can distinguish low-grade bladder cancer from high-grade, and 2) propose a radiomics-based strategy for cancer grading using texture features.Materials and methodsIn all, 61 patients with bladder cancer (29 in high- and 32 in low-grade groups) were enrolled in this retrospective study. Histogram- and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)-based radiomics features were extracted from cancerous volumes of interest (VOIs) on DWI and corresponding ADC maps of each patient acquired from 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A Mann-Whitney U-test was applied to select features with significant differences between low- and high-grade groups (P < 0.05). Then support vector machine with recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) and classification strategy was adopted to find an optimal feature subset and then to establish a classification model for grading.ResultsA total 102 features were derived from each VOI and among them, 47 candidate features were selected, which showed significant intergroup differences (P < 0.05). By the SVM-RFE method, an optimal feature subset including 22 features was further selected from candidate features. The SVM classifier using the optimal feature subset achieved the best performance in bladder cancer grading, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.861, 82.9%, 78.4%, and 87.1%, respectively.ConclusionTextural features from DWI and ADC maps can reflect the difference between low- and high-grade bladder cancer, especially those GLCM features from ADC maps. The proposed radiomics strategy using these features, combined with the SVM classifier, may better facilitate image-based bladder cancer grading preoperatively.Level of evidence3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J.

Project description:We attempted to establish a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomic model for stratifying prognostic subgroups of newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients and predicting O (6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promotor methylation (pMGMT-met) status of the tumor. Preoperative MRI scans from 201 newly diagnosed GBM patients were included in this study. A total of 489 texture features including the first-order feature, second-order features from 162 datasets, and location data from 182 datasets were collected. Supervised principal component analysis was used for prognostication and predictive modeling for pMGMT-met status was performed based on least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression. 22 radiomic features that were correlated with prognosis were used to successfully stratify patients into high-risk and low-risk groups (p = 0.004, Log-rank test). The radiomic high- and low-risk stratification and pMGMT status were independent prognostic factors. As a matter of fact, predictive accuracy of the pMGMT methylation status was 67% when modeled by two significant radiomic features. A significant survival difference was observed among the combined high-risk group, combined intermediate-risk group (this group consists of radiomic low risk and pMGMT-unmet or radiomic high risk and pMGMT-met), and combined low-risk group (p = 0.0003, Log-rank test). Radiomics can be used to build a prognostic score for stratifying high- and low-risk GBM, which was an independent prognostic factor from pMGMT methylation status. On the other hand, predictive accuracy of the pMGMT methylation status by radiomic analysis was insufficient for practical use.
