Preoperative CT-Based Deep Learning Model for Predicting Risk Stratification in Patients With Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors.


ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop and evaluate a deep learning model (DLM) for predicting the risk stratification of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).

Methods

Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT images of 733 patients with GISTs were retrospectively obtained from two centers between January 2011 and June 2020. The datasets were split into training (n = 241), testing (n = 104), and external validation cohorts (n = 388). A DLM for predicting the risk stratification of GISTs was developed using a convolutional neural network and evaluated in the testing and external validation cohorts. The performance of the DLM was compared with that of radiomics model by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs) and the Obuchowski index. The attention area of the DLM was visualized as a heatmap by gradient-weighted class activation mapping.

Results

In the testing cohort, the DLM had AUROCs of 0.90 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.84, 0.96), 0.80 (95% CI: 0.72, 0.88), and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.83, 0.95) for low-malignant, intermediate-malignant, and high-malignant GISTs, respectively. In the external validation cohort, the AUROCs of the DLM were 0.87 (95% CI: 0.83, 0.91), 0.64 (95% CI: 0.60, 0.68), and 0.85 (95% CI: 0.81, 0.89) for low-malignant, intermediate-malignant, and high-malignant GISTs, respectively. The DLM (Obuchowski index: training, 0.84; external validation, 0.79) outperformed the radiomics model (Obuchowski index: training, 0.77; external validation, 0.77) for predicting risk stratification of GISTs. The relevant subregions were successfully highlighted with attention heatmap on the CT images for further clinical review.

Conclusion

The DLM showed good performance for predicting the risk stratification of GISTs using CT images and achieved better performance than that of radiomics model.
