Project description:BACKGROUND:To investigate associations between lower-grade glioma (LGG) mRNA-based subtypes (R1-R4) and MR features. METHODS:mRNA-based subtyping was obtained from the LGG dataset in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We identified matching patients (n?=?145) in The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) who underwent MR imaging. The associations between mRNA-based subtypes and MR features were assessed. RESULTS:In the TCGA-LGG dataset, patients with the R2 subtype had the shortest median OS months (P?<?0.05). The time-dependent ROC for the R2 subtype was 0.78 for survival at 12?months, 0.76 for survival at 24?months, and 0.76 for survival at 36?months. In the TCIA-LGG dataset, 41 (23.7%) R1 subtype, 40 (23.1%) R2 subtype, 19 (11.0%) R3 subtype and 45 (26.0%) R4 subtype cases were identified. Multivariate analysis revealed that enhancing margin (ill-defined, OR: 9.985; P?=?0.003) and T1?+?C/T2 mismatch (yes, OR: 0.091; P?=?0.023) were associated with the R1 subtype (AUC: 0.708). The average accuracy of the ten-fold cross validation was 71%. Proportion of contrast-enhanced (CE) tumour (>?5%, OR: 14.733; P?<?0.001) and necrosis/cystic changes (yes, OR: 0.252; P?=?0.009) were associated with the R2 subtype (AUC: 0.832). The average accuracy of the ten-fold cross validation was 82%. Haemorrhage (yes, OR: 8.55; P?<?0.001) was positively associated with the R3 subtype (AUC: 0.689). The average accuracy of the ten-fold cross validation was 87%. Proportion of CE tumour (>?5%, OR: 0.14; P?<?0.001) was negatively associated with the R4 subtype (AUC: 0.672). The average accuracy of the ten-fold cross validation was 71%. For the prediction of the R2 subtype, the nomogram showed good discrimination and calibration. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that prediction with the R2 model was clinically useful. CONCLUSIONS:Patients with the R2 subtype had the worst prognosis. We demonstrated that MRI features can identify distinct LGG mRNA-based molecular subtypes.

Project description:PET-based cardiac nuclear imaging plays a large role in the management of ischemic heart disease. Compared with conventional single-photon emission CT myocardial perfusion imaging, PET provides superior accuracy in diagnosis of coronary artery disease and, with the incorporation of myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve, adds value in assessing prognosis for established coronary and microvascular disease. This review describes these and other uses of PET in ischemic heart disease, including assessing myocardial viability in ischemic cardiomyopathy. Developments in novel PET flow tracers and molecular imaging tools to assess atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability, vascular calcification, and vascular remodeling also are described.

Project description:The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the current state of the art of imaging-derived biomarkers predictive of genetic alterations and immunotherapy targets in lung cancer. We included original research studies reporting the development and validation of imaging feature-based models. The overall quality, the standard of reporting and the advancements towards clinical practice were assessed. Eighteen out of the 24 selected articles were classified as "high-quality" studies according to the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2). The 18 "high-quality papers" adhered to Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) with a mean of 62.9%. The majority of "high-quality" studies (16/18) were classified as phase II. The most commonly used imaging predictors were radiomic features, followed by visual qualitative computed tomography (CT) features, convolutional neural network-based approaches and positron emission tomography (PET) parameters, all used alone or combined with clinicopathologic features. The majority (14/18) were focused on the prediction of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. Thirty-five imaging-based models were built to predict the EGFR status. The model's performances ranged from weak (n = 5) to acceptable (n = 11), to excellent (n = 18) and outstanding (n = 1) in the validation set. Positive outcomes were also reported for the prediction of ALK rearrangement, ALK/ROS1/RET fusions and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Despite the promising results in terms of predictive performance, image-based models, suffering from methodological bias, require further validation before replacing traditional molecular pathology testing.

Project description:Radiogenomics aims at investigating the relationship between imaging radiomic features and gene expression alterations. This study addressed the potential prognostic complementary value of contrast enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) radiomic features and gene expression data in primary colorectal cancers (CRC). Sixty-four patients underwent CT scans and radiomic features were extracted from the delineated tumor volume. Gene expression analysis of a small set of genes, previously identified as relevant for CRC, was conducted on surgical samples from the same tumors. The relationships between radiomic and gene expression data was assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Multiple testing was not performed, as this was a pilot study. Cox regression was used to identify variables related to overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). ABCC2 gene expression was correlated with N (p = 0.016) and M stages (p = 0.022). Expression changes of ABCC2, CD166, CDKNV1 and INHBB genes exhibited significant correlations with some radiomic features. OS was associated with Ratio 3D Surface/volume (p = 0.022) and ALDH1A1 expression (p = 0.042), whereas clinical stage (p = 0.004), ABCC2 expression (p = 0.035), and EntropyGLCM_E (p = 0.0031), were prognostic factors for PFS. Combining CE-CT radiomics with gene expression analysis and histopathological examination of primary CRC could provide higher prognostic stratification power, leading to improved patient management.

Project description:Immuno-positron emission tomography (immunoPET) is a molecular imaging modality combining the high sensitivity of PET with the specific targeting ability of monoclonal antibodies. Various radioimmunotracers have been successfully developed to target a broad spectrum of molecules expressed by malignant cells or tumor microenvironments. Only a few are translated into clinical studies and barely into clinical practices. Some drawbacks include slow radioimmunotracer kinetics, high physiologic uptake in lymphoid organs, and heterogeneous activity in tumoral lesions. Measures are taken to overcome the disadvantages, and new tracers are being developed. In this review, we aim to mention the fundamental components of immunoPET imaging, explore the groundbreaking success achieved using this new technique, and review different radioimmunotracers employed in various solid tumors to elaborate on this relatively new imaging modality.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients are known to have heterogeneous clinical presentation and pathologic patterns. We hypothesize that AD dementia can be categorized into subtypes based on multimodal imaging biomarkers such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), tau positron emission tomography (PET), and amyloid PET. We collected 3T MRI, 18F-THK5351 PET, and 18F-flutemetamol (FLUTE) PET data from 83 patients with AD dementia [Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) ≤1] and 60 normal controls (NC), and applied surface-based analyses to measure cortical thickness, THK5351 standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) and FLUTE SUVR for each participant. For the patient group, we performed an agglomerative hierarchical clustering analysis using the three multimodal imaging features on the vertices (n = 3 × 79,950). The identified AD subtypes were compared to NC using general linear models adjusting for age, sex, and years of education. We mapped the effect size within significant cortical regions reaching a corrected p-vertex <0.05 (random field theory). Our surface-based multimodal framework has revealed three distinct subtypes among AD patients: medial temporal-dominant subtype (MT, n = 44), parietal-dominant subtype (P, n = 19), and diffuse atrophy subtype (D, n = 20). The topography of cortical atrophy and THK5351 retention differentiates between the three subtypes. In the case of FLUTE, three subtypes did not show distinct topographical differences, although cortical composite retention was significantly higher in the P type than in the MT type. These three subtypes also differed in demographic and clinical features. In conclusion, AD patients may be clustered into three subtypes with distinct topographical features of cortical atrophy and tau deposition, although amyloid deposition may not differ across the subtypes in terms of topography.

Project description:Purpose: To create a radiogenomic map linking computed tomographic (CT) image features and gene expression profiles generated by RNA sequencing for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: A cohort of 113 patients with NSCLC diagnosed between April 2008 and September 2014 who had preoperative CT data and tumor tissue available was studied. For each tumor, a thoracic radiologist recorded 87 semantic image features, selected to reflect radiologic characteristics of nodule shape, margin, texture, tumor environment, and overall lung characteristics. Next, total RNA was extracted from the tissue and analyzed with RNA sequencing technology. Ten highly coexpressed gene clusters, termed metagenes, were identified, validated in publicly available gene-expression cohorts, and correlated with prognosis. Next, a radiogenomics map was built that linked semantic image features to metagenes by using the t statistic and the Spearman correlation metric with multiple testing correction. Results: RNA sequencing analysis resulted in 10 metagenes that capture a variety of molecular pathways, including the epidermal growth factor (EGF) pathway. A radiogenomic map was created with 32 statistically significant correlations between semantic image features and metagenes. Conclusions: Radiogenomic analysis of NSCLC showed multiple associations between semantic image features and metagenes that represented canonical molecular pathways

Project description:This study investigated relationships between neuroblastomas (NBs) imaging phenotypes, tumor genomic profile and patient outcome.This IRB-approved retrospective observational study included 133 NB patients (73 M, 60 F; median age 15 months, range 0-151) treated in a single institution between 1998 and 2012. A consensus review of imaging (CT-scan, MRI) categorized tumors according to both the primarily involved compartment (i.e., neck, chest, abdomen or pelvis) and the sympathetic anatomical structure the tumors rose from (i.e., cervical, paravertebral or periarterial chains, or adrenal gland). Tumor shape, volume and image-defined surgical risk factors (IDRFs) at diagnosis were recorded. Genomic profiles were assessed using array-based comparative genomic hybridization and divided into three groups: "numerical-only chromosome alterations" (NCA), "segmental chromosome alterations" (SCA) and "MYCN amplification" (MNA). Statistical analyses included Kruskal-Wallis, Chi2 and Fisher's exact tests and the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank tests and Cox model for univariate and multivariate survival analyses.A significant association between the sympathetic structure origin of tumors and genomic profiles was demonstrated. NBs arising from cervical sympathetic chains were all NCA. Paravertebral NBs were NCA or SCA in 75% and 25%, respectively and none were MNA. Periarterial NBs were NCA, SCA or MNA in 33%, 56% and 11%, respectively. Adrenal NBs were NCA, SCA or MNA in 16%, 36% and 48%, respectively. Among MNA NBs, 92% originated from the adrenal gland. The sympathetic anatomical classification was significantly better correlated to overall survival than the compartmental classification (P < .0003). The tumor volume of MNA NBs was significantly higher than NCA or SCA NBs (P < .0001). Patients with initial volume less than 160 mL had significantly better overall survival (P < .009). A "single mass" pattern was significantly more frequent in NCA NBs (P = .0003). The number of IDRFs was significantly higher in MNA NBs (P < .0001).Imaging phenotypes of neuroblastomas, including tumor origin along the sympathetic system, correlate with tumor genomic profile and patient outcome.

Project description:This study investigated the associations between image features extracted from tumor 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake and genetic alterations in patients with lung cancer. A total of 137 patients (age, 62.7?±?10.2 years) who underwent FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and targeted deep sequencing analysis for a tumor lesion, comprising 61 adenocarcinoma (ADC), 31 squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC), and 45 small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients, were enrolled in this study. From the tumor lesions, 86 image features were extracted, and 381 genes were assessed. PET features were associated with genetic mutations: 41 genes with 24 features in ADC; 35 genes with 22 features in SQCC; and 43 genes with 25 features in SCLC (FDR?<?0.05). Clusters based on PET features showed an association with alterations in oncogenic signaling pathways: Cell cycle and WNT signaling pathways in ADC (p?=?0.023, p?=?0.035, respectively); Cell cycle, p53, and WNT in SQCC (p?=?0.045, 0.009, and 0.029, respectively); and TGF? in SCLC (p?=?0.030). In addition, SUVpeak and SUVmax were associated with a mutation of the TGF? signaling pathway in ADC (FDR?=?0.001, <?0.001). In this study, PET image features had significant associations with alterations in genes and oncogenic signaling pathways in patients with lung cancer.

Project description:The specific genetic subtypes that gliomas exhibit result in variable clinical courses and the need to involve multidisciplinary teams of neurologists, epileptologists, neurooncologists and neurosurgeons. Currently, the diagnosis of gliomas pivots mainly around the preliminary radiological findings and the subsequent definitive surgical diagnosis (via surgical sampling). Radiomics and radiogenomics present a potential to precisely diagnose and predict survival and treatment responses, via morphological, textural, and functional features derived from MRI data, as well as genomic data. In spite of their advantages, it is still lacking standardized processes of feature extraction and analysis methodology among different research groups, which have made external validations infeasible. Radiomics and radiogenomics can be used to better understand the genomic basis of gliomas, such as tumor spatial heterogeneity, treatment response, molecular classifications and tumor microenvironment immune infiltration. These novel techniques have also been used to predict histological features, grade or even overall survival in gliomas. In this review, workflows of radiomics and radiogenomics are elucidated, with recent research on machine learning or artificial intelligence in glioma.
