Longitudinal radiomics algorithm of posttreatment computed tomography images for early detecting recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after resection or ablation.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:To develop a radiomics algorithm, improving the performance of detecting recurrence, based on posttreatment CT images within one month and at suspicious time during follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 114 patients with 228 images were randomly split (7:3) into training and validation cohort. Radiomics algorithm was trained using machine learning, based on difference-in-difference (DD) features extracted from tumor and liver regions of interest on posttreatment CTs within one month after resection or ablation and when suspected recurrent lesion was observed but cannot be confirmed as HCC during follow-up. The performance was evaluated by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and was compared among radiomics algorithm, change of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and combined model of both. Five-folded cross validation (CV) was used to present the training error. RESULTS:A radiomics algorithm was established by 34 DD features selected by random forest and multivariable logistic models and showed a better AUC than that of change of AFP (0.89 [95% CI: 0.78, 1.00] vs 0.63 [95% CI: 0.42, 0.84], P?=?.04) and similar with the combined model in detecting recurrence in the validation set. Five-folded CV error in the validation cohort was 21% for the algorithm and 26% for the changes of AFP. CONCLUSIONS:The algorithm integrated radiomic features of posttreatment CT showed superior performance to that of conventional AFP and may act as a potential marker in the early detecting recurrence of HCC.

Project description:Study designRetrospective diagnostic study.ObjectiveTo automatically detect osteolytic bone metastasis lesions in the thoracolumbar region using conventional computed tomography (CT) scans, we developed a new deep learning (DL)-based computer-aided detection model.Summary of background dataRadiographic detection of bone metastasis is often difficult, even for orthopedic surgeons and diagnostic radiologists, with a consequent risk for pathologic fracture or spinal cord injury. If we can improve detection rates, we will be able to prevent the deterioration of patients' quality of life at the end stage of cancer.Materials and methodsThis study included CT scans acquired at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) Hospital between 2016 and 2022. A total of 263 positive CT scans that included at least one osteolytic bone metastasis lesion in the thoracolumbar spine and 172 negative CT scans without bone metastasis were collected for the datasets to train and validate the DL algorithm. As a test data set, 20 positive and 20 negative CT scans were separately collected from the training and validation datasets. To evaluate the performance of the established artificial intelligence (AI) model, sensitivity, precision, F1-score, and specificity were calculated. The clinical utility of our AI model was also evaluated through observer studies involving six orthopaedic surgeons and six radiologists.ResultsOur AI model showed a sensitivity, precision, and F1-score of 0.78, 0.68, and 0.72 (per slice) and 0.75, 0.36, and 0.48 (per lesion), respectively. The observer studies revealed that our AI model had comparable sensitivity to orthopaedic or radiology experts and improved the sensitivity and F1-score of residents.ConclusionWe developed a novel DL-based AI model for detecting osteolytic bone metastases in the thoracolumbar spine. Although further improvement in accuracy is needed, the current AI model may be applied to current clinical practice.Level of evidenceLevel III.

Project description:BackgroundThe high recurrence rate after radical resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) leads to its poor prognosis. We aimed to develop a model to preoperatively predict the risk of recurrence based on computed tomography (CT) radiomics and multiple clinical parameters.MethodsDatasets were retrospectively collected and analysed of 220 PDAC patients who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) and received radical resection at 3 institutions in China between 2013 and 2017, with 153 from one institution as a training set, the remaining 67 as a validation set. For each patient, CT radiomics features were extracted from intratumoral and peritumoral regions to establish intratumoral, peritumoral and combined radiomics models using artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. By incorporating clinical factors, radiomics-clinical nomograms were finally built by multivariable logistic regression analysis to predict 1- and 2-year recurrence risk.FindingsThe developed radiomics model integrating intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics features was superior to the conventionally constructed model merely using intratumoral radiomics features. Further, radiomics-clinical nomograms outperformed other models in predicting 1-year recurrence with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.916 (95%CI, 0.860-0.955) in the training set and 0.764 (95%CI, 0.644-0.859) in the validation set, and 2-year recurrence with an AUROC of 0.872 (95%CI: 0.809-0.921) in the training set and 0.773 (95%CI, 0.654-0.866) in the validation set.InterpretationThis study has developed and externally validated a radiomics-clinical nomogram integrating intra- and peritumoral CT radiomics signature as well as clinical factors to predict the recurrence risk of PDAC after radical resection, which will facilitate optimized and individualized treatment strategies.FundingThis work was supported by the National Key R&D Program of China [grant number: 2018YFE0114800], the General Program of National Natural Science Foundation of China [grant number: 81772562, 2017; 81871351, 2018], the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities [grant number: 2021FZZX005-08], and Zhejiang Provincial Key Projects of Technology Research [grant number: WKJ-ZJ-2033].

Project description:BackgroundEarly recurrence (ER) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is defined as recurrence that occurs within two years after resection. Our study aimed to determine the optimal peritumoral regions of interest (ROI) range by comparing the effect of multiple peritumoral radiomics ROIs on predicting ER of HCC, and to develop and validate a combined clinical-radiomics prediction model.MethodsA total of 160 HCC patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n=112) and a validation cohort (n=48). The intratumoral original ROI was outlined based on enhanced computed tomography images and then used as the base to sequentially extend outward 1-5 mm to form peritumoral ROI. We developed a logistic regression model to predict ER of HCC. The efficacy of different ROI prediction models was compared to determine the optimal ROI. The combined model divided the patients into a high-risk group and low-risk group.ResultsNinety-seven (60.6%) of the patients were ER; the remaining 63 (39.4%) were not ER. The area under the curve values and 95% confidence intervals for ROI 3 were 0.867 (0.802-0.933) and 0.807 (0.682-0.931) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively, and ROI 3 was identified as the optimal ROI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis determined microvascular invasion (MVI) (P=0.037) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (P=0.013) to be independent risk factors for ER. The combined clinical-radiomic model containing the radiomics score, MVI, and AFP had the optimal predictive efficacy, with area under the curve values and 95% confidence intervals of 0.903 (0.848-0.957) and 0.830 (0.709-0.952) in the training and validation cohort, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed significantly ER predicted in the high-risk group than the low-risk group (P<0.001).ConclusionsPeritumoral radiomics 3 mm range was determined as the optimal ROI in this study. The clinical-radiomics combined models can effectively stratify high- and low-risk patients for timely clinical treatment and decision making.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To construct a prediction model based on peritumoral radiomics signatures from CT images and investigate its efficiency in predicting early recurrence (ER) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In total, 156 patients with primary HCC were randomly divided into the training cohort (109 patients) and the validation cohort (47 patients). From the pretreatment CT images, we extracted 3-phase two-dimensional images from the largest cross-sectional area of the tumor. A region of interest (ROI) was manually delineated around the lesion for tumoral radiomics (T-RO) feature extraction, and another ROI was outlined with an additional 2 cm peritumoral area for peritumoral radiomics (PT-RO) feature extraction. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression model was applied for feature selection and model construction. The T-RO and PT-RO models were constructed. In the validation cohort, the prediction efficiencies of the two models and peritumoral enhancement (PT-E) were evaluated qualitatively by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves and decision curves and quantitatively by area under the curve (AUC), the category-free net reclassification index (cfNRI) and integrated discrimination improvement values (IDI). RESULTS:By comparing AUC values, the prediction accuracy in the validation cohort was good for the PT-RO model (0.80 vs. 0.79, P = 0.47) but poor for the T-RO model (0.82 vs. 0.62, P < 0.01), which was significantly overfitted. In the validation cohort, the ROC curves, calibration curves and decision curves indicated that the PT-RO model had better calibration efficiency and provided greater clinical benefits. CfNRI indicated that the PT-RO model correctly reclassified 47% of ER patients and 32% of non-ER patients compared to the T-RO model (P < 0.01); additionally, the PT-RO model correctly reclassified 24% of ER patients and 41% of non-ER patients compared to PT-E (P = 0.02). IDI indicated that the PT-RO model could improve prediction accuracy by 0.22 (P < 0.01) compared to the T-RO model and by 0.20 (P = 0.01) compared to PT-E. CONCLUSION:The CT-based PT-RO model can effectively predict the ER of HCC and is more efficient than the T-RO model and the conventional imaging feature PT-E.
