Predicting the invasiveness of lung adenocarcinomas appearing as ground-glass nodule on CT scan using multi-task learning and deep radiomics.

ABSTRACT: Background:Due to different treatment method and prognosis of different subtypes of lung adenocarcinomas appearing as ground-glass nodules (GGNs) on computed tomography (CT) scan, it is important to classify invasive adenocarcinomas from non-invasive adenocarcinomas. The purpose of this paper is to build and evaluate the performance of deep learning networks on the differentiation the invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma appearing as GGNs. Methods:This retrospective study included 886 GGNs from 794 pathological confirmed patients with lung adenocarcinoma for training and testing the proposed networks. Three deep learning networks, namely XimaNet (deep learning-based classification model), XimaSharp (classification and nodule segmentation model), and Deep-RadNet (deep learning and radiomics combined classification model, i.e., deep radiomics) were built. Three classification tasks, namely task 1: classification of AAH/AIS and MIA, task 2: classification of MIA and IAC, and task 3: classification of non-invasive adenocarcinomas and invasive adenocarcinomas (AAH/AIS&MIA and IAC) were conducted to evaluate the model performance. The Z-test was used to compare the model performance. Results:The AUC for classification of AAH/AIS with MIA were 0.891, 0.841 and 0.779 for Deep-RadNet, XimaNet and XimaSharp respectively. The AUC for classification of MIA with IAC were 0.889, 0.785 and 0.778 for three networks and AUC for classification of AAH/AIS&MIA with IAC were 0.941, 0.892 and 0.827 respectively. The performance of deep_RadNet was better than the other two models with the Z-test (P<0.05). Conclusions:Deep-RadNet with the visual heat map could evaluate the invasiveness of GGNs accurately and intuitively, providing a theoretical basis for individualized and accurate medical treatment of patients with GGNs.

Project description:Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of CT radiographic images and radiomics features for invasive classification of lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as ground-glass nodules (GGNs) in computer tomography (CT). Methods: A total of 312 GGNs were enrolled in this retrospective study. All GGNs were randomly divided into training set (n = 219) and test set (n = 93). Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to establish a clinical model, while the minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm were used to select the radiomics features and construct the radiomics model. A combined model was finally built by combining these two models. The performance of these models was assessed in both training and test set. A combined nomogram was developed based on the combined model and evaluated with its calibration curves and C-index. Results: Diameter [odds ratio (OR), 1.159; p ＜ 0.001], lobulation (OR, 2.953; p = 0.002), and vascular changes (OR, 3.431; p ＜ 0.001) were retained as independent predictors of the invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) group. Eleven radiomics features were selected by mRMR and LASSO method to established radiomics model. The clinical model and radiomics mode showed good predictive ability in both training set and test set. When two models were combined, the diagnostic area under the curve (AUC) value was higher than the single clinical or radiomics model (training set: 0.86 vs. 0.83 vs. 0.82; test set: 0.80 vs. 0.78 vs. 0.79). The constructed combined nomogram could effectively quantify the risk degree of 3 image features and Rad score with a C-index of 0.855 (95%: 0.805∼0.905). Conclusion: Radiographic and radiomics features show high accuracy in the invasive diagnosis of GGNs, and their combined analysis can improve the diagnostic efficacy of IAC manifesting as GGNs. The nomogram, serving as a noninvasive and accurate predictive tool, can help judge the invasiveness of GGNs prior to surgery and assist clinicians in creating personalized treatment strategies.

Project description:Objectives: To investigate the performance of radiomic-based quantitative analysis on CT images in predicting invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs). Methods: A total of 275 lung adenocarcinoma cases, with 322 pGGNs resected surgically and confirmed pathologically, from January 2015 to October 2017 were enrolled in this retrospective study. All nodules were split into training and test cohorts randomly with a ratio of 4:1 to establish models to predict between pGGN-like adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)/minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and invasive adenocarcinoma (IVA). Radiomic feature extraction was performed using Pyradiomics with semi-automatically segmented tumor regions on CT scans that were contoured with an in-house plugin for 3D-Slicer. Random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) were used for feature selection and predictive model building in the training cohort. Three different predictive models containing conventional, radiomic, and combined models were built on the basis of the selected clinical, radiological, and radiomic features. The predictive performance of each model was evaluated through the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC). The predictive performance of two radiologists (A and B) and our radiomic predictive model were further investigated in the test cohort to see if radiomic predictive model could improve radiologists' performance in prediction between pGGN-like AIS/MIA and IVA. Results: Among 322 nodules, 48 (14.9%) were AIS and 102 (31.7%) were MIA with 172 (53.4%) for IVA. Age, diameter, density, and nine meaningful radiomic features were selected for model building in the training cohort. Three predictive models showed good performance in prediction between pGGN-like AIS/MIA and IVA (AUC > 0.8, P < 0.05) in both training and test cohorts. The AUC values in the test cohort were 0.824 (95% CI, 0.723-0.924), 0.833 (95% CI, 0.733-0.934), and 0.848 (95% CI, 0.750-0.946) for conventional, radiomic, and combined models, respectively. The predictive accuracy was 73.44 and 59.38% for radiologist A and radiologist B in the test cohort and was improved dramatically to 79.69 and 75.00% with the aid of our radiomic predictive model. Conclusion: The predictive models built in our study showed good predictive power with good accuracy and sensitivity, which provided a non-invasive, convenient, economic, and repeatable way for the prediction between IVA and AIS/MIA representing as pGGNs. The radiomic predictive model outperformed two radiologists in predicting pGGN-like AIS/MIA and IVA, and could significantly improve the predictive performance of the two radiologists, especially radiologist B with less experience in medical imaging diagnosis. The selected radiomic features in our research did not provide more useful information to improve the combined predictive model's performance.
