Radiomics and Machine Learning Can Differentiate Transient Osteoporosis from Avascular Necrosis of the Hip.

ABSTRACT: Differentiation between transient osteoporosis (TOH) and avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip is a longstanding challenge in musculoskeletal radiology. The purpose of this study was to utilize MRI-based radiomics and machine learning (ML) for accurate differentiation between the two entities. A total of 109 hips with TOH and 104 hips with AVN were retrospectively included. Femoral heads and necks with segmented radiomics features were extracted. Three ML classifiers (XGboost, CatBoost and SVM) using 38 relevant radiomics features were trained on 70% and validated on 30% of the dataset. ML performance was compared to two musculoskeletal radiologists, a general radiologist and two radiology residents. XGboost achieved the best performance with an area under the curve (AUC) of 93.7% (95% CI from 87.7 to 99.8%) among ML models. MSK radiologists achieved an AUC of 90.6% (95% CI from 86.7% to 94.5%) and 88.3% (95% CI from 84% to 92.7%), respectively, similar to residents. The general radiologist achieved an AUC of 84.5% (95% CI from 80% to 89%), significantly lower than of XGboost (p = 0.017). In conclusion, radiomics-based ML achieved a performance similar to MSK radiologists and significantly higher compared to general radiologists in differentiating between TOH and AVN.

Project description:BackgroundOsteoporosis has increased and developed into a serious public health concern worldwide. Despite the high prevalence, osteoporosis is silent before major fragility fracture and the osteoporosis screening rate is low. Abdomen-pelvic CT (APCT) is one of the most widely conducted medical tests. Artificial intelligence and radiomics analysis have recently been spotlighted. This is the first study to evaluate the prediction performance of femoral osteoporosis using machine-learning analysis with radiomics features and APCT.Materials and methods500 patients (M: F = 70:430; mean age, 66.5 ± 11.8yrs; range, 50-96 years) underwent both dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and APCT within 1 month. The volume of interest of the left proximal femur was extracted and 41 radiomics features were calculated using 3D volume of interest analysis. Top 10 importance radiomic features were selected by the intraclass correlation coefficient and random forest feature selection. Study cohort was randomly divided into 70% of the samples as the training cohort and the remaining 30% of the sample as the validation cohort. Prediction performance of machine-learning analysis was calculated using diagnostic test and comparison of area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed between training and validation cohorts.ResultsThe osteoporosis prevalence of this study cohort was 20.8%. The prediction performance of the machine-learning analysis to diagnose osteoporosis in the training and validation cohorts were as follows; accuracy, 92.9% vs. 92.7%; sensitivity, 86.6% vs. 80.0%; specificity, 94.5% vs. 95.8%; positive predictive value, 78.4% vs. 82.8%; and negative predictive value, 96.7% vs. 95.0%. The AUC to predict osteoporosis in the training and validation cohorts were 95.9% [95% confidence interval (CI), 93.7%-98.1%] and 96.0% [95% CI, 93.2%-98.8%], respectively, without significant differences (P = 0.962).ConclusionPrediction performance of femoral osteoporosis using machine-learning analysis with radiomics features and APCT showed high validity with more than 93% accuracy, specificity, and negative predictive value.
