Project description: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 recovery, diffusion-weighted imaging, and dynamic susceptibility contrast imaging. After radiomic feature selection using LASSO regression, an individualized radiomic score was calculated. A multiparametric MR prognostic model was built using the radiomic score and clinical predictors. The results showed that the multiparametric MR prognostic model (radiomics score + clinical predictors) exhibited good discrimination (C-index, 0.74) and performed better than a conventional MR radiomics model (C-index, 0.65, P < 0.0001) or clinical predictors (C-index, 0.66; P < 0.0001). The multiparametric MR prognostic model also showed robustness in external validation (C-index, 0.70). Our results indicate that the incorporation of diffusion- and perfusion-weighted MR imaging into an MR radiomics model to improve prognostication in glioblastoma patients improved its performance over that achievable using clinical predictors alone.

Project description:BackgroundPreoperative pelvic lymph node metastasis (PLNM) prediction can help clinicians determine whether to perform pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). The purpose of this research is to explore the feasibility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-based radiomics for preoperative PLNM prediction in PCa patients at the nodal level.MethodsThe preoperative MR images of 1116 pathologically confirmed lymph nodes (LNs) from 84 PCa patients were enrolled. The subjects were divided into a primary cohort (67 patients with 192 positive and 716 negative LNs) and a held-out cohort (17 patients with 43 positive and 165 negative LNs) at a 4:1 ratio. Two preoperative pelvic lymph node metastasis (PLNM) prediction models were constructed based on automatic LN segmentation with quantitative radiological LN features alone (Model 1) and combining radiological and radiomics features (Model 2) via multiple logistic regression. The visual assessments of junior (Model 3) and senior (Model 4) radiologists were compared.ResultsNo significant difference was found between the area under the curve (AUCs) of Models 1 and 2 (0.89 vs. 0.90; P = 0.573) in the held-out cohort. Model 2 showed the highest AUC (0.83, 95% CI 0.76, 0.89) for PLNM prediction in the LN subgroup with a short diameter ≤ 10 mm compared with Model 1 (0.78, 95% CI 0.70, 0.84), Model 3 (0.66, 95% CI 0.52, 0.77), and Model 4 (0.74, 95% CI 0.66, 0.88). The nomograms of Models 1 and 2 yielded C-index values of 0.804 and 0.910, respectively, in the held-out cohort. The C-index of the nomogram analysis (0.91) and decision curve analysis (DCA) curves confirmed the clinical usefulness and benefit of Model 2.ConclusionsA DWI-based radiomics nomogram incorporating the LN radiomics signature with quantitative radiological features is promising for PLNM prediction in PCa patients, particularly for normal-sized LNM.

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:Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is proven useful to differentiate benign and malignant soft tissue tumors (STTs). Radiomics utilizing a vast array of extracted imaging features has a potential to uncover disease characteristics. We aim to assess radiomics using DWI can outperform the conventional DWI for STT differentiation. In 151 patients with 80 benign and 71 malignant tumors, ADCmean and ADCmin were measured on solid portion within the mass by two different readers. For radiomics approach, tumors were segmented and 100 original radiomic features were extracted on ADC map. Eight radiomics models were built with training set (n = 105), using combinations of 2 different algorithms-multivariate logistic regression (MLR) and random forest (RF)-and 4 different inputs: radiomics features (R), R + ADCmin (I), R + ADCmean (E), R + ADCmin and ADCmean (A). All models were validated with test set (n = 46), and AUCs of ADCmean, ADCmin, MLR-R, RF-R, MLR-I, RF-I, MLR-E, RF-E, MLR-A and RF-A models were 0.729, 0.753 0.698, 0.700, 0.773, 0.807, 0.762, 0.744, 0.773 and 0.807, respectively, without statistically significant difference. In conclusion, radiomics approach did not add diagnostic value to conventional ADC measurement for differentiating benign and malignant STTs.

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:OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical feasibility of synthetic diffusion-weighted imaging (sDWI) at different b-values in patients with breast cancer by assessing the diagnostic image quality and the quantitative measurements compared with conventional diffusion-weighted imaging (cDWI). MATERIALS AND METHODS:Fifty patients with breast cancer were assessed using cDWI at b-values of 800 and 1500 s/mm² (cDWI800 and cDWI1500) and sDWI at b-values of 1000 and 1500 s/mm² (sDWI1000 and sDWI1500). Qualitative analysis (normal glandular tissue suppression, overall image quality, and lesion conspicuity) was performed using a 4-point Likert-scale for all DWI sets and the cancer detection rate (CDR) was calculated. We also evaluated cancer-to-parenchyma contrast ratios for each DWI set in 45 patients with the lesion identified on any of the DWI sets. Statistical comparisons were performed using Friedman test, one-way analysis of variance, and Cochran's Q test. RESULTS:All parameters of qualitative analysis, cancer-to-parenchyma contrast ratios, and CDR increased with increasing b-values, regardless of the type of imaging (synthetic or conventional) (p < 0.001). Additionally, sDWI1500 provided better lesion conspicuity than cDWI1500 (3.52 ± 0.92 vs. 3.39 ± 0.90, p < 0.05). Although cDWI1500 showed better normal glandular tissue suppression and overall image quality than sDWI1500 (3.66 ± 0.78 and 3.73 ± 0.62 vs. 3.32 ± 0.90 and 3.35 ± 0.81, respectively; p < 0.05), there was no significant difference in their CDR (90.0%). Cancer-to-parenchyma contrast ratios were greater in sDWI1500 than in cDWI1500 (0.63 ± 0.17 vs. 0.55 ± 0.18, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION:sDWI1500 can be feasible for evaluating breast cancers in clinical practice. It provides higher tumor conspicuity, better cancer-to-parenchyma contrast ratio, and comparable CDR when compared with cDWI1500.

Project description:Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) constitutes a major functional parameter performed in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The DW sequence is performed by acquiring a set of native images described by their b-values, each b-value representing the strength of the diffusion MR gradients specific to that sequence. By fitting the data with models describing the motion of water in tissue, an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map is built and allows the assessment of water mobility inside the tissue. The high cellularity of tumors restricts the water diffusion and decreases the value of ADC within tumors, which makes them appear hypointense on ADC maps. The role of this sequence now largely exceeds its first clinical apparitions in neuroimaging, whereby the method helped diagnose the early phases of cerebral ischemic stroke. The applications extend to whole-body imaging for both neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. This review emphasizes the integration of DWI in the genitourinary system imaging by outlining the sequence's usage in female pelvis, prostate, bladder, penis, testis and kidney MRI. In gynecologic imaging, DWI is an essential sequence for the characterization of cervix tumors and endometrial carcinomas, as well as to differentiate between leiomyosarcoma and benign leiomyoma of the uterus. In ovarian epithelial neoplasms, DWI provides key information for the characterization of solid components in heterogeneous complex ovarian masses. In prostate imaging, DWI became an essential part of multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) to detect prostate cancer. The Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) scoring the probability of significant prostate tumors has significantly contributed to this success. Its contribution has established mpMRI as a mandatory examination for the planning of prostate biopsies and radical prostatectomy. Following a similar approach, DWI was included in multiparametric protocols for the bladder and the testis. In renal imaging, DWI is not able to robustly differentiate between malignant and benign renal tumors but may be helpful to characterize tumor subtypes, including clear-cell and non-clear-cell renal carcinomas or low-fat angiomyolipomas. One of the most promising developments of renal DWI is the estimation of renal fibrosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. In conclusion, DWI constitutes a major advancement in genitourinary imaging with a central role in decision algorithms in the female pelvis and prostate cancer, now allowing promising applications in renal imaging or in the bladder and testicular mpMRI.

Project description:Background1p/19q co-deletion in low-grade gliomas (LGG, World Health Organization grade II and III) is of great significance in clinical decision making. We aim to use radiomics analysis to predict 1p/19q co-deletion in LGG based on amide proton transfer weighted (APTw), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and conventional MRI.MethodsThis retrospective study included 90 patients histopathologically diagnosed with LGG. We performed a radiomics analysis by extracting 8454 MRI-based features form APTw, DWI and conventional MR images and applied a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm to select radiomics signature. A radiomics score (Rad-score) was generated using a linear combination of the values of the selected features weighted for each of the patients. Three neuroradiologists, including one experienced neuroradiologist and two resident physicians, independently evaluated the MR features of LGG and provided predictions on whether the tumor had 1p/19q co-deletion or 1p/19q intact status. A clinical model was then constructed based on the significant variables identified in this analysis. A combined model incorporating both the Rad-score and clinical factors was also constructed. The predictive performance was validated by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, DeLong analysis and decision curve analysis. P < 0.05 was statistically significant.ResultsThe radiomics model and the combined model both exhibited excellent performance on both the training and test sets, achieving areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.948 and 0.966, as well as 0.909 and 0.896, respectively. These results surpassed the performance of the clinical model, which achieved AUCs of 0.760 and 0.766 on the training and test sets, respectively. After performing Delong analysis, the clinical model did not significantly differ in predictive performance from three neuroradiologists. In the training set, both the radiomic and combined models performed better than all neuroradiologists. In the test set, the models exhibited higher AUCs than the neuroradiologists, with the radiomics model significantly outperforming resident physicians B and C, but not differing significantly from experienced neuroradiologist.ConclusionsOur results suggest that our algorithm can noninvasively predict the 1p/19q co-deletion status of LGG. The predictive performance of radiomics model was comparable to that of experienced neuroradiologist, significantly outperforming the diagnostic accuracy of resident physicians, thereby offering the potential to facilitate non-invasive 1p/19q co-deletion prediction of LGG.

Project description:Diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI is a rapid technique that measures the mobility of water molecules within tissue, reflecting the cellular microenvironment. At DW MRI, breast cancers typically exhibit reduced diffusivity and appear hyperintense to surrounding tissues. On the basis of this characteristic, DW MRI may offer an unenhanced method to detect breast cancer without the costs and safety concerns associated with dynamic contrast material-enhanced MRI, the current reference standard in the setting of high-risk screening. This application of DW MRI has not been widely explored but is particularly timely given the growing health concerns related to the long-term use of gadolinium-based contrast material. Moreover, increasing breast density notification legislation across the United States is raising awareness of the limitations of mammography in women with dense breasts, emphasizing the need for additional cost-effective supplemental screening examinations. Preliminary studies suggest unenhanced MRI with DW MRI may provide higher sensitivity than screening mammography for the detection of breast malignancies. Larger prospective multicenter trials are needed to validate single-center findings and assess the performance of DW MRI for generalized breast cancer screening. Standardization of DW MRI acquisition and interpretation is essential to ensure reliable sensitivity and specificity, and an optimal approach for screening using readily available techniques is proposed here.
