Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Brain invasion in meningioma has independent associations with increased risks of tumor progression, lesion recurrence, and poor prognosis. Therefore, this study aimed to construct a model for predicting brain invasion in WHO grade II meningioma by using preoperative MRI. Methods
One hundred seventy-three patients with brain invasion and 111 patients without brain invasion were included. Three mainstream features, namely, traditional semantic features and radiomics features from tumor and tumor-to-brain interface regions, were acquired. Predictive models correspondingly constructed on each feature set or joint feature set were constructed. Results
Traditional semantic findings, e.g., peritumoral edema and other four features, had comparable performance in predicting brain invasion with each radiomics feature set. By taking advantage of semantic features and radiomics features from tumoral and tumor-to-brain interface regions, an integrated nomogram that quantifies the risk factor of each selected feature was constructed and had the best performance in predicting brain invasion (area under the curve values were 0.905 in the training set and 0.895 in the test set). Conclusions
This study provided a clinically available and promising approach to predict brain invasion in WHO grade II meningiomas by using preoperative MRI.

Project description:BackgroundTumor grade is associated with the treatment and prognosis of endometrial cancer (EC). The accurate preoperative prediction of the tumor grade is essential for EC risk stratification. Herein, we aimed to assess the performance of a multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics nomogram for predicting high-grade EC.MethodsOne hundred and forty-three patients with EC who had undergone preoperative pelvic MRI were retrospectively enrolled and divided into a training set (n =100) and a validation set (n =43). Radiomic features were extracted based on T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. The minimum absolute contraction selection operator (LASSO) was implemented to obtain optimal radiomics features and build the rad-score. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the clinical MRI features and build a clinical model. We developed a radiomics nomogram by combining important clinical MRI features and rad-score. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the performance of the three models. The clinical net benefit of the nomogram was assessed using decision curve analysis (DCA), net reclassification index (NRI), and integrated discrimination index (IDI).ResultsIn total, 35/143 patients had high-grade EC and 108 had low-grade EC. The areas under the ROC curves of the clinical model, rad-score, and radiomics nomogram were 0.837 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.754-0.920), 0.875 (95% CI: 0.797-0.952), and 0.923 (95% CI: 0.869-0.977) for the training set; 0.857 (95% CI: 0.741-0.973), 0.785 (95% CI: 0.592-0.979), and 0.914 (95% CI: 0.827-0.996) for the validation set, respectively. The radiomics nomogram showed a good net benefit according to the DCA. NRIs were 0.637 (0.214-1.061) and 0.657 (0.079-1.394), and IDIs were 0.115 (0.077-0.306) and 0.053 (0.027-0.357) in the training set and validation set, respectively.ConclusionThe radiomics nomogram based on multiparametric MRI can predict the tumor grade of EC before surgery and yield a higher performance than that of dilation and curettage.

Project description:BackgroundMeningioma invasion can be preoperatively recognized by radiomics features, which significantly contributes to treatment decision-making. Here, we aimed to evaluate the comparative performance of radiomics signatures derived from varying regions of interests (ROIs) in predicting BI and ascertaining the optimal width of the peritumoral regions needed for accurate analysis.MethodsFive hundred and five patients from Wuhan Union Hospital (internal cohort) and 214 cases from Taihe Hospital (external validation cohort) pathologically diagnosed as meningioma were included in our study. Feature selection was performed from 1,015 radiomics features respectively obtained from nine different ROIs (brain-tumor interface (BTI)2-5mm; whole tumor; the amalgamation of the two regions) on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging using least-absolute shrinkage and selection operator and random forest. Principal component analysis with varimax rotation was employed for feature reduction. Receiver operator curve was utilized for assessing discrimination of the classifier. Furthermore, clinical index was used to detect the predictive power.ResultsModel obtained from BTI4mm ROI has the maximum AUC in the training set (0.891 (0.85, 0.932)), internal validation set (0.851 (0.743, 0.96)), and external validation set (0.881 (0.833, 0.928)) and displayed statistically significant results between nine radiomics models. The most predictive radiomics features are almost entirely generated from GLCM and GLDM statistics. The addition of PEV to radiomics features (BTI4mm) enhanced model discrimination of invasive meningiomas.ConclusionsThe combined model (radiomics classifier with BTI4mm ROI + PEV) had greater diagnostic performance than other models and its clinical application may positively contribute to the management of meningioma patients.

Project description:BackgroundBrain invasion by meningioma is a stand-alone criterion for tumor atypia in the 2016 World Health Organization classification, but no imaging parameter has yet been shown to be sufficient for predicting it. The aim of this study was to develop and validate an MRI-based radiomics model from the brain-to-tumor interface to predict brain invasion by meningioma.MethodsPreoperative T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging data were obtained from 454 patients (88 patients with brain invasion) between 2012 and 2017. Feature selection was performed from 3222 radiomics features obtained in the 1 cm thickness tumor-to-brain interface region using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator. Peritumoral edema volume, age, sex, and selected radiomics features were used to construct a random forest classifier-based diagnostic model. The performance was evaluated using the areas under the curves (AUCs) of the receiver operating characteristic in an independent cohort of 150 patients (29 patients with brain invasion) between 2018 and 2019.ResultsVolume of peritumoral edema was an independent predictor of brain invasion (P < 0.001). The top 6 interface radiomics features plus the volume of peritumoral edema were selected for model construction. The combined model showed the highest performance for prediction of brain invasion in the training (AUC 0.97; 95% CI: 0.95-0.98) and validation sets (AUC 0.91; 95% CI: 0.84-0.98), and improved diagnostic performance over volume of peritumoral edema only (AUC 0.76; 95% CI: 0.66-0.86).ConclusionAn imaging-based model combining interface radiomics and peritumoral edema can help to predict brain invasion by meningioma and improve the diagnostic performance of known clinical and imaging parameters.

Project description:PurposeTo predict chromosome 7 gain and chromosome 10 loss (+7/-10) in IDH wild-type (IDH-wt) histologically low-grade gliomas (LGG) by machine learning models based on MRI radiomics and semantic features.MethodsA total of 122 patients diagnosed as IDH-wt histologically LGG were retrospectively included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into a training group and a test group in a ratio of 7:3. The radiomics features were extracted from axial T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR and CET1 sequences, respectively. The distance correlation (DC) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were used to select the radiomics signatures. Three machine learning algorithms including neural network (NN), support vector machine (SVM), and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to construct radiomics models. In addition, a nomogram was developed by combining the optimal radiomics signature with clinical risk factors, and the potential clinical utility of the nomogram was evaluated using decision curve analysis.ResultsThe LDA+DC model was identified as the optimal classifier among the six radiomics models. Necrosis was determined as a risk factor for +7/-10 in IDH-wt histologically LGG. The nomogram achieved the best performance, with an AUC of 0.854 and an accuracy of 0.778 in the independent test group. The decision curve of the nomogram confirmed its clinical usefulness in a wide range of thresholds.ConclusionThe nomogram combining radiomics and semantic features can predict the +7/-10 status effectively, which may contribute to the risk stratification and individualized treatment planning of patients with IDH-wt histologically LGG.

Project description:ObjectivesThe clinical management of meningioma is guided by tumor grade and biological behavior. Currently, the assessment of tumor grade follows surgical resection and histopathologic review. Reliable techniques for pre-operative determination of tumor grade may enhance clinical decision-making.MethodsA total of 175 meningioma patients (103 low-grade and 72 high-grade) with pre-operative contrast-enhanced T1-MRI were included. Fifteen radiomic (quantitative) and 10 semantic (qualitative) features were applied to quantify the imaging phenotype. Area under the curve (AUC) and odd ratios (OR) were computed with multiple-hypothesis correction. Random-forest classifiers were developed and validated on an independent dataset (n = 44).ResultsTwelve radiographic features (eight radiomic and four semantic) were significantly associated with meningioma grade. High-grade tumors exhibited necrosis/hemorrhage (ORsem = 6.6, AUCrad = 0.62-0.68), intratumoral heterogeneity (ORsem = 7.9, AUCrad = 0.65), non-spherical shape (AUCrad = 0.61), and larger volumes (AUCrad = 0.69) compared to low-grade tumors. Radiomic and sematic classifiers could significantly predict meningioma grade (AUCsem = 0.76 and AUCrad = 0.78). Furthermore, combining them increased the classification power (AUCradio = 0.86). Clinical variables alone did not effectively predict tumor grade (AUCclin = 0.65) or show complementary value with imaging data (AUCcomb = 0.84).ConclusionsWe found a strong association between imaging features of meningioma and histopathologic grade, with ready application to clinical management. Combining qualitative and quantitative radiographic features significantly improved classification power.

Project description:ObjectivePreoperative prediction of meningioma venous sinus invasion would facilitate the selection of surgical approaches and predicting the prognosis. To predict venous sinus invasion in meningiomas, we used radiomic signatures to construct a model based on preoperative contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1C) and T2-weighted (T2) magnetic resonance imaging.MethodsIn total, 599 patients with pathologically confirmed meningioma were retrospectively enrolled. For each patient enrolled in this study, 1595 radiomic signatures were extracted from T1C and T2 image sequences. Pearson correlation analysis and recursive feature elimination were used to select the most relevant signatures extracted from different image sequences, and logistic regression algorithms were used to build a radiomic model for risk prediction of meningioma sinus invasion. Furthermore, a nomogram was built by incorporating clinical characteristics and radiomic signatures, and a decision curve analysis was used to evaluate the clinical utility of the nomogram.ResultsTwenty radiomic signatures that were significantly related to venous sinus invasion were screened from 3190 radiomic signatures. Venous sinus invasion was associated with tumor position, and the clinicoradiomic model that incorporated the above characteristics (20 radiomic signatures and tumor position) had the best discriminating ability. The areas under the curve for the training and validation cohorts were 0.857 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.824-0.890) and 0.824 (95% CI, 0.752-0.8976), respectively.InterpretationThe clinicoradiomic model had good predictive performance for venous sinus invasion in meningioma, which can aid in devising surgical strategies and predicting prognosis.

Project description:ObjectiveTo develop a combined nomogram based on preoperative multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (mMRI) and clinical information for predicting recurrence in patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC).MethodsThis retrospective study enrolled 141 patients with clinicopathologically confirmed HGSOC, including 65 patients with recurrence and 76 without recurrence. Radiomics features were extracted from the mMRI images (FS-T2WI, DWI, and T1WI+C). L1 regularization-based least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was performed to select radiomics features. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to build the classification models. A nomogram was established by incorporating clinical risk factors and radiomics Radscores. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristics, accuracy, and calibration curves were assessed to evaluate the performance of classification models and nomograms in discriminating recurrence. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the associations between the Radscore or clinical factors and disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsOne clinical factor and seven radiomics signatures were ultimately selected to establish the predictive model for this study. The AUCs for identifying recurrence in the training and validation cohorts were 0.76 (0.68, 0.84) and 0.67 (0.53, 0.81) with the clinical model, 0.78 (0.71, 0.86) and 0.74 (0.61, 0.86) with the multiradiomics model, and 0.83 (0.77, 0.90) and 0.78 (0.65, 0.90) with the combined nomogram, respectively. The DFS was significantly shorter in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group.ConclusionBy incorporating radiomics Radscores and clinical factors, we created a radiomics nomogram to preoperatively identify patients with HGSOC who have a high risk of recurrence, which may serve as a potential tool to guide personalized treatment.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to develop and validate a radiomics nomogram for preoperative prediction of Ki-67 proliferative index (Ki-67 PI) expression in patients with meningioma.MethodsA total of 280 patients from 2 independent hospital centers were enrolled. Patients from center I were randomly divided into a training cohort of 168 patients and a test cohort of 72 patients, and 40 patients from center II served as an external validation cohort. Interoperator reproducibility test, Z-score standardization, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) binary logistic regression were used to select radiomics features, which were extracted from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (CE-T1WI) imaging. The radiomics signature for predicting Ki-67 PI expression was developed and validated using 4 classifiers including logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), and adaptive boost (AdaBoost). Finally, combined radiological characteristics with radiomics signature were used to establish the nomogram to predict the risk of high Ki-67 PI expression in patients with meningioma.ResultsFourteen radiomics features were used to construct the radiomics signature. The radiomics nomogram that incorporated the radiomics signature and radiological characteristics showed excellent discrimination in the training, test, and validation cohorts with areas under the curve of 0.817 (95% CI: 0.753-0.881), 0.822 (95% CI: 0.727-0.916), and 0.845 (95% CI: 0.708-0.982), respectively. In addition, the calibration curve for the nomogram demonstrated good agreement between prediction and actual observation.ConclusionsThe proposed contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics nomogram could be an effective tool to predict the risk of Ki-67 high expression in patients with meningioma.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Prediction of brain invasion pre-operatively rather than postoperatively would contribute to the selection of surgical techniques, predicting meningioma grading and prognosis. Here, we aimed to predict the risk of brain invasion in meningioma pre-operatively using a nomogram by incorporating radiomic and clinical features. METHODS:In this case-control study, 1728 patients from Beijing Tiantan Hospital (training cohort: n = 1070) and Lanzhou University Second Hospital (external validation cohort: n = 658) were diagnosed with meningiomas by histopathology. Radiomic features were extracted from the T1-weighted post-contrast and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to select the most informative features of different modalities. The support vector machine algorithm was used to predict the risk of brain invasion. Furthermore, a nomogram was constructed by incorporating radiomics signature and clinical risk factors, and decision curve analysis was used to validate the clinical usefulness of the nomogram. FINDINGS:Sixteen features were significantly correlated with brain invasion. The clinicoradiomic model derived from the fusing MRI sequences and sex resulted in the best discrimination ability for risk prediction of brain invasion, with areas under the curves (AUCs) of 0•857 (95% CI, 0•831-0•887) and 0•819 (95% CI, 0•775-0•863) and sensitivities of 72•8% and 90•1% in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. INTERPRETATION:Our clinicoradiomic model showed good performance and high sensitivity for risk prediction of brain invasion in meningioma, and can be applied in patients with meningiomas.

Project description:BackgroundSmall (< 4 cm) clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of small renal cancer and its prognosis is poor. However, conventional radiological characteristics obtained by computed tomography (CT) are not sufficient to predict the nuclear grade of small ccRCC before surgery.MethodsA total of 113 patients with histologically confirmed ccRCC were randomly assigned to the training set (n = 67) and the testing set (n = 46). The baseline and CT imaging data of the patients were evaluated statistically to develop a clinical model. A radiomics model was created, and the radiomics score (Rad-score) was calculated by extracting radiomics features from the CT images. Then, a clinical radiomics nomogram was developed using multivariate logistic regression analysis by combining the Rad-score and critical clinical characteristics. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the discrimination of small ccRCC in both the training and testing sets.ResultsThe radiomics model was constructed using six features obtained from the CT images. The shape and relative enhancement value of the nephrographic phase (REV of the NP) were found to be independent risk factors in the clinical model. The area under the curve (AUC) values for the training and testing sets for the clinical radiomics nomogram were 0.940 and 0.902, respectively. Decision curve analysis (DCA) revealed that the radiomics nomogram model was a better predictor, with the highest degree of coincidence.ConclusionThe CT-based radiomics nomogram has the potential to be a noninvasive and preoperative method for predicting the WHO/ISUP grade of small ccRCC.
