Project description:BackgroundLung cancer is the most common primary tumor metastasizing to the brain. A significant proportion of lung cancer patients show epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status discordance between the primary cancer and the corresponding brain metastases, which can affect prognosis and therapeutic decision-making. However, it is not always feasible to obtain brain metastases samples. The aim of this study was to establish a radiomic model to predict the EGFR mutation status of lung cancer brain metastases.MethodsData from 162 patients with resected brain metastases originating from lung cancer (70 with mutant EGFR, 92 with wild-type EGFR) were retrospectively analyzed. Radiomic features were extracted using preoperative brain magnetic resonance (MR) images (contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, T1CE; T2-weighted imaging, T2WI; T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, T2 FLAIR; and combinations of these sequences), to establish machine learning-based models for predicting the EGFR status of excised brain metastases (108 metastases for training and 54 metastases for testing). The least absolute shrinkage selection operator was used to select informative features; radiomics models were built with logistic regression of the training cohort, and model performance was evaluated using an independent test set.ResultsThe best-performing model was a combination of 10 features selected from multiple sequences (two from T1CE, five from T2WI, and three from T2 FLAIR) in both the training and test sets, resulting in classification area under the curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity values of 0.85 and 0.81, 77.8% and 75.9%, 83.7% and 73.1%, and 73.8% and 78.6%, respectively.ConclusionsRadiomic signatures integrating multi-sequence MR images have the potential to noninvasively predict the EGFR mutation status of lung cancer brain metastases.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify imaging markers that reflect the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status by comparing computed tomography (CT) imaging-based histogram features between bone metastases with and without EGFR mutation in patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma.Materials and methodsThis retrospective study included 57 patients, with pathologically confirmed bone metastasis of primary lung adenocarcinoma. EGFR mutation status of bone metastases was confirmed by gene detection. The CT imaging of the metastatic bone lesions which were obtained between June 2014 and December 2017 were collected and analyzed. A total of 42 CT imaging-based histogram features were automatically extracted. Feature selection was conducted using Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, single-factor logistic regression analysis and Spearman correlation analysis. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to compare the effectiveness of features in distinguishing between EGFR(+) and EGFR(-) groups. DeLong's test was used to analyze the differences between the area under the curve (AUC) values.ResultsThree histogram features, namely range, skewness, and quantile 0.975 were significantly associated with EGFR mutation status. After combining these three features and combining range and skewness, we obtained the same AUC values, sensitivity and specificity. Meanwhile, the highest AUC value was achieved (AUC 0.783), which also had a higher sensitivity (0.708) and specificity (0.788). The differences between AUC values of the three features and their various combinations were statistically insignificant.ConclusionCT imaging-based histogram features of bone metastases with and without EGFR mutation in patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma were identified, and they may contribute to diagnosis and prediction of EGFR mutation status.

Project description:BackgroundBreast Cancer (BC) is a highly heterogeneous and complex disease. Personalized treatment options require the integration of multi-omic data and consideration of phenotypic variability. Radiogenomics aims to merge medical images with genomic measurements but encounter challenges due to unpaired data consisting of imaging, genomic, or clinical outcome data. In this study, we propose the utilization of a well-trained conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) to address the unpaired data issue in radiogenomic analysis of BC. The generated images will then be used to predict the mutations status of key driver genes and BC subtypes.MethodsWe integrated the paired MRI and multi-omic (mRNA gene expression, DNA methylation, and copy number variation) profiles of 61 BC patients from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). To facilitate this integration, we employed a Bayesian Tensor Factorization approach to factorize the multi-omic data into 17 latent features. Subsequently, a cGAN model was trained based on the matched side-view patient MRIs and their corresponding latent features to predict MRIs for BC patients who lack MRIs. Model performance was evaluated by calculating the distance between real and generated images using the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) metric. BC subtype and mutation status of driver genes were obtained from the cBioPortal platform, where 3 genes were selected based on the number of mutated patients. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was constructed and trained using the generated MRIs for mutation status prediction. Receiver operating characteristic area under curve (ROC-AUC) and precision-recall area under curve (PR-AUC) were used to evaluate the performance of the CNN models for mutation status prediction. Precision, recall and F1 score were used to evaluate the performance of the CNN model in subtype classification.ResultsThe FID of the images from the well-trained cGAN model based on the test set is 1.31. The CNN for TP53, PIK3CA, and CDH1 mutation prediction yielded ROC-AUC values 0.9508, 0.7515, and 0.8136 and PR-AUC are 0.9009, 0.7184, and 0.5007, respectively for the three genes. Multi-class subtype prediction achieved precision, recall and F1 scores of 0.8444, 0.8435 and 0.8336 respectively. The source code and related data implemented the algorithms can be found in the project GitHub at https://github.com/mattthuang/BC_RadiogenomicGAN .ConclusionOur study establishes cGAN as a viable tool for generating synthetic BC MRIs for mutation status prediction and subtype classification to better characterize the heterogeneity of BC in patients. The synthetic images also have the potential to significantly augment existing MRI data and circumvent issues surrounding data sharing and patient privacy for future BC machine learning studies.

Project description:BackgroundsA significant proportion of breast cancer patients showed receptor discordance between primary cancers and breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM), which significantly affected therapeutic decision-making. But it was not always feasible to obtain BCBM tissues. The aim of the present study was to analyze the receptor status of primary breast cancer and matched brain metastases and establish radiomic signatures to predict the receptor status of BCBM.MethodsThe receptor status of 80 matched primary breast cancers and resected brain metastases were retrospectively analyzed. Radiomic features were extracted using preoperative brain MRI (contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging, T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, and combinations of these sequences) collected from 68 patients (45 and 23 for training and test sets, respectively) with BCBM excision. Using least absolute shrinkage selection operator and logistic regression model, the machine learning-based radiomic signatures were constructed to predict the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status of BCBM.ResultsDiscordance between the primary cancer and BCBM was found in 51.3% of patients, with 27.5%, 27.5%, and 5.0% discordance for ER, PR, and HER2, respectively. Loss of receptor expression was more common (33.8%) than gain (18.8%). The radiomic signatures built using combination sequences had the best performance in the training and test sets. The combination model yielded AUCs of 0.89, 0.88, and 0.87, classification sensitivities of 71.4%, 90%, and 87.5%, specificities of 81.2%, 76.9%, and 71.4%, and accuracies of 78.3%, 82.6%, and 82.6% for ER, PR, and HER2, respectively, in the test set.ConclusionsReceptor conversion in BCBM was common, and radiomic signatures show potential for noninvasively predicting BCBM receptor status.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Distinct molecular subgroups of pediatric medulloblastoma confer important differences in prognosis and therapy. Currently, tissue sampling is the only method to obtain information for classification. Our goal was to develop and validate radiomic and machine learning approaches for predicting molecular subgroups of pediatric medulloblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In this multi-institutional retrospective study, we evaluated MR imaging datasets of 109 pediatric patients with medulloblastoma from 3 children's hospitals from January 2001 to January 2014. A computational framework was developed to extract MR imaging-based radiomic features from tumor segmentations, and we tested 2 predictive models: a double 10-fold cross-validation using a combined dataset consisting of all 3 patient cohorts and a 3-dataset cross-validation, in which training was performed on 2 cohorts and testing was performed on the third independent cohort. We used the Wilcoxon rank sum test for feature selection with assessment of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve to evaluate model performance. RESULTS:Of 590 MR imaging-derived radiomic features, including intensity-based histograms, tumor edge-sharpness, Gabor features, and local area integral invariant features, extracted from imaging-derived tumor segmentations, tumor edge-sharpness was most useful for predicting sonic hedgehog and group 4 tumors. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed superior performance of the double 10-fold cross-validation model for predicting sonic hedgehog, group 3, and group 4 tumors when using combined T1- and T2-weighted images (area under the curve = 0.79, 0.70, and 0.83, respectively). With the independent 3-dataset cross-validation strategy, select radiomic features were predictive of sonic hedgehog (area under the curve = 0.70-0.73) and group 4 (area under the curve = 0.76-0.80) medulloblastoma. CONCLUSIONS:This study provides proof-of-concept results for the application of radiomic and machine learning approaches to a multi-institutional dataset for the prediction of medulloblastoma subgroups.

Project description:BackgroundIn this study we retrospectively evaluated the capability of computed tomography (CT)-based radiomic features to predict epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in surgically-resected peripheral lung adenocarcinomas in an Asian cohort of patients.Patients and methodsTwo hundred ninety-eight patients with surgically resected peripheral lung adenocarcinomas were investigated in this institutional review board-approved retrospective study with requirement waived to obtain informed consent. Two hundred nineteen quantitative 3-D features were extracted from segmented volumes of each tumor, and 59 of these, which were considered independent features, were included in the analysis. Clinical and pathological information was obtained from the institutional database.ResultsMutant EGFR was significantly associated with female sex (P = .0005); never smoker status (P < .0001), lepidic predominant adenocarcinomas (P = .017), and low or intermediate pathologic grade (P = .0002). Statistically significant differences were found in 11 radiomic features between EGFR mutant and wild type groups in univariate analysis. Mutant EGFR status could be predicted by a set of 5 radiomic features that fell into 3 broad groups: CT attenuation energy, tumor main direction, and texture defined according to wavelets and Laws (area under the curve [AUC], 0.647). A multiple logistic regression model showed that adding radiomic features to a clinical model resulted in a significant improvement of predicting power, because the AUC increased from 0.667 to 0.709 (P < .0001).ConclusionComputed tomography-based radiomic features of peripheral lung adenocarcinomas can capture useful information regarding tumor phenotype, and the model we built can be useful to predict the presence of EGFR mutations in peripheral lung adenocarcinoma in Asian patients when mutational profiling is not available or possible.

Project description:BackgroundPancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) grade is very important for treatment strategy of PNETs. The present study aimed to find the quantitative radiomic features for predicting grades of PNETs in MR images.Materials and methodsTotally 48 patients but 51 lesions with a pathological tumor grade were subdivided into low grade (G1) group and intermediate grade (G2) group. The ROI was manually segmented slice by slice in 3D-T1 weighted sequence with and without enhancement. Statistical differences of radiomic features between G1 and G2 groups were analyzed using the independent sample t-test. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to find better predictors in distinguishing G1 and G2 groups. Finally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was constructed to assess diagnostic performance of each model.ResultsNo significant difference between G1 and G2 groups (P > 0.05) in non-enhanced 3D-T1 images was found. Significant differences in the arterial phase analysis between the G1 and the G2 groups appeared as follows: the maximum intensity feature (P = 0.021); the range feature (P = 0.039). Multiple logistic regression analysis based on univariable model showed the maximum intensity feature (P=0.023, OR = 0.621, 95% CI: 0.433-0.858) was an independent predictor of G1 compared with G2 group, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.695.ConclusionsThe maximum intensity feature of radiomic features in MR images can help to predict PNETs grade risk.

Project description:Background: To develop and validate a radiomic nomogram incorporating radiomic features with clinical variables for individual local recurrence risk assessment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients before initial treatment. Methods: One hundred and forty patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 80) and a validation cohort (n = 60). A total of 970 radiomic features were extracted from pretreatment magnetic resonance (MR) images of NPC patients from May 2007 to December 2013. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used for selecting radiomic features associated with local recurrence, and multivariate analyses was used for building radiomic nomogram. Results: Eight contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CET1-w) image features and seven T2-weighted (T2-w) image features were selected to build a Cox proportional hazard model in the training cohort, respectively. The radiomic nomogram, which combined radiomic features and multiple clinical variables, had a good evaluation ability (C-index: 0.74 [95% CI: 0.58, 0.85]) in the validation cohort. The radiomic nomogram successfully categorized those patients into low- and high-risk groups with significant differences in the rate of local recurrence-free survival (P <0.05). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that MR imaging-based radiomics can be used as an aid tool for the evaluation of local recurrence, in order to develop tailored treatment targeting specific characteristics of individual patients.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images are often collected with different imaging parameters, which may impact the calculated values of myocardial radiomic features.PurposeTo investigate the sensitivity of myocardial radiomic features to changes in imaging parameters in cardiac MR images.Study typeProspective.PopulationA total of 11 healthy participants/five patients.Field strength/ sequenceA 3 T/cine balanced steady-state free-precession, T1 -weighted spoiled gradient-echo, T2 -weighted turbo spin-echo, and quantitative T1 and T2 mapping. For each sequence, the flip angle, in-plane resolution, slice thickness, and parallel imaging technique were varied to study the sensitivity of radiomic features to alterations in imaging parameters.AssessmentMyocardial contours were manually delineated by experienced readers, and a total of 1023 radiomic features were extracted using PyRadiomics with 11 image filters and six feature families.Statistical testsSensitivity was defined as the standardized mean difference (D effect size), and the robust features were defined at sensitivity < 0.2. Sensitivity analysis was performed on predefined sets of reproducible features. The analysis was performed using the entire cohort of 16 subejcts.Results64% of radiomic features were robust (sensitivity < 0.2) to changes in any imaging parameter. In qualitative sequences, radiomic features were most sensitive to changes in in-plane spatial resolution (spatial resolution: 0.6 vs. flip angle: 0.19, parallel imaging: 0.18, slice thickness: 0.07; P < 0.01 for all); in quantitative sequences, radiomic features were least sensitive to changes in spatial resolution (spatial resolution: 0.07 vs. slice thickness: 0.16, flip angle: 0.24; P < 0.01 for all). In an individual feature level, no singular feature family/image filter was identified as robust (sensitivity < 0.2) across sequences; however, highly sensitive features were predominantly associated with high-frequency wavelet filters across all sequences (32/50 features).Data conclusionIn cardiac MR, a considerable number of radiomic features are sensitive to changes in sequence parameters.Evidence level1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.
