Project description:In this study we assessed the repeatability of radiomics features on small prostate tumors using test-retest Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI). The premise of radiomics is that quantitative image-based features can serve as biomarkers for detecting and characterizing disease. For such biomarkers to be useful, repeatability is a basic requirement, meaning its value must remain stable between two scans, if the conditions remain stable. We investigated repeatability of radiomics features under various preprocessing and extraction configurations including various image normalization schemes, different image pre-filtering, and different bin widths for image discretization. Although we found many radiomics features and preprocessing combinations with high repeatability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient > 0.85), our results indicate that overall the repeatability is highly sensitive to the processing parameters. Neither image normalization, using a variety of approaches, nor the use of pre-filtering options resulted in consistent improvements in repeatability. We urge caution when interpreting radiomics features and advise paying close attention to the processing configuration details of reported results. Furthermore, we advocate reporting all processing details in radiomics studies and strongly recommend the use of open source implementations.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study assessed the preoperative prediction of TP53 status based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) radiomics extracted from two-dimensional (2D) and 3D images.Methods57 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent preoperative MRI were included. The diagnosis and TP53 gene test were based on resections. Of the 57 patients included 37 mutated TP53 genes and the remaining 20 had wild-type TP53 genes. Two radiologists performed manual tumour segmentation on seven different MRI image acquisition sequences per patient, including multi-phase [pre-contrast, late arterial phase (ap), portal venous phase, and delayed phase] dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) T1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). PyRadiomics-package was used to generate 558 two-dimensional (2D) and 994 three-dimensional (3D) image features. Models were constructed by support vector machine (SVM) for differentiating TP53 status and DX score method were used for feature selection. The evaluation of the model performance included area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis.ResultsThe 3D ADC-ap-DWI-T2WI model with 11 selected features yielded the best performance for differentiating TP53 status, with accuracy = 0.91 and AUC = 0.96. The model showed the good calibration. The decision curve analysis indicated that the radiomics model had clinical utility.ConclusionsA non-invasive and quantitative mpMRI-based radiomics model can accurately predict TP53 mutation status in pancreatic cancer patients and contribute to the precision treatment.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate multiparametric MRI features in predicting pathologic response after preoperative chemoradiation therapy (CRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).Experimental designForty-eight consecutive patients (January 2012-November 2014) receiving neoadjuvant CRT were enrolled. All underwent anatomical T1/T2, diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI before CRT. A total of 103 imaging features, analyzed using both volume-averaged and voxelized methods, were extracted for each patient. Univariate analyses were performed to evaluate the capability of each individual parameter in predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) or good response (GR) evaluated based on tumor regression grade. Artificial neural network with 4-fold validation technique was further utilized to select the best predictor sets to classify different response groups and the predictive performance was calculated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.ResultsThe conventional volume-averaged analysis could provide an area under ROC curve (AUC) ranging from 0.54 to 0.73 in predicting pCR. While if the models were replaced by voxelized heterogeneity analysis, the prediction accuracy measured by AUC could be improved to 0.71-0.79. Similar results were found for GR prediction. In addition, each subcategory images could generate moderate power in predicting the response, which if combining all information together, the AUC could be further improved to 0.84 for pCR and 0.89 for GR prediction, respectively.ConclusionsThrough a systematic analysis of multiparametric MR imaging features, we are able to build models with improved predictive value over conventional imaging metrics. The results are encouraging, suggesting the wealth of imaging radiomics should be further explored to help tailoring the treatment into the era of personalized medicine.

Project description:Rationale and objectivesTo develop classification and regression models interpreting tumor characteristics obtained from structural (T1w and T2w) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data for early detection of dendritic cell (DC) vaccine treatment effects and prediction of long-term outcomes for LSL-KrasG12D; LSL-Trp53R172H; Pdx-1-Cre (KPC) transgenic mice model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.Materials and methodsEight mice were treated with DC vaccine for 3 weeks while eight KPC mice were used as untreated control subjects. The reproducibility of the computed 264 features was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Key variables were determined using a three-step feature selection approach. Support vector machines classifiers were generated to differentiate treatment-related changes on tumor tissue following first- and third weeks of the DC vaccine therapy. The multivariable regression models were generated to predict overall survival (OS) and histological tumor markers of KPC mice using quantitative features.ResultsThe quantitative features computed from T1w MRI data have better reproducibility than T2w MRI features. The KPC mice in treatment and control groups were differentiated with a longitudinally increasing accuracy (first- and third weeks: 87.5% and 93.75%). The linear regression model generated with five features of T1w MRI data predicted OS with a root-mean-squared error (RMSE) <6 days. The proposed multivariate regression models predicted histological tumor markers with relative error <2.5% for fibrosis percentage (RMSE: 0.414), CK19+ area (RMSE: 0.027), and Ki67+ cells (RMSE: 0.190).ConclusionOur results demonstrated that proposed models generated with quantitative MRI features can be used to detect early treatment-related changes in tumor tissue and predict OS of KPC mice following DC vaccination.

Project description:Background:To evaluate the association of multiparametric and multiregional MRI-features with key molecular characteristics in patients with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma. Methods:Retrospective data evaluation was approved by the local ethics committee of the University of Heidelberg (ethics approval number: S-320/2012) and informed consent was waived. Preoperative MRI-features were correlated with key molecular characteristics within a single-institutional cohort of 152 patients with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma. Preoperative MRI-features (n=31) included multiparametric (anatomical, diffusion-, perfusion-, and susceptibility-weighted images) and multiregional (contrast enhancing and non-enhancing FLAIR-hyperintense) information with (histogram) quantification of tumor volumes, volume ratios, apparent diffusion coefficients, cerebral blood flow / volume (CBF / CBV) and intratumoral susceptibility signals. Molecular characteristics determined with the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 array included global DNA-methylation subgroups (e.g. mesenchymal (MES), RTK I “PGFRA”, RTK II “classic”), MGMT-promoter methylation status and hallmark copy-number-variations (EGFR-, PDGFRA-, MDM4- and CDK4-amplification; PTEN-, CDKN2A-, NF1- and RB1-loss). Univariate analyses (voxel-lesion-symptom-mapping for tumor location, Wilcoxon-test for all other MRI-features) as well as machine-learning models were applied to study the strength of association and discriminative value of MRI-features for predicting underlying molecular characteristics. Results: There was no tumor location predilection for any of the assessed molecular parameters (permutation-adjusted p>0.05 each). Univariate imaging parameter associations were noted for EGFR amplification and CDKN2A loss, both demonstrating increased nrCBV and nrCBF values (performance of these parameters, as assessed by the area under the ROC curve ranged from 63 to 69%, FDR-adjusted p<0.05, respectively). Subjecting all MRI-features to machine-learning-based classification allowed to predict EGFR amplification status and the RTK II “classic” GB subgroup with a moderate, yet significantly greater accuracy (63% for EGFR [p<0.01] and 61% for RTK II [p=0.01]) than the prediction by chance, whereas prediction accuracy for all other molecular parameters was non-significant (p>0.05, all models). Conclusions: In summary, we found univariate associations between established MRI-features and molecular characteristics, however not of sufficient strength to allow the generation of machine-learning classification models for reliable and clinically meaningful prediction of the assessed molecular characteristics in patients with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma.

Project description:This study investigated the performance of simultaneous 18F-FDG PET/MRI of the breast as a platform for comprehensive radiomics analysis for breast cancer subtype analysis, hormone receptor status, proliferation rate and lymphonodular and distant metastatic spread. One hundred and twenty-four patients underwent simultaneous 18F-FDG PET/MRI. Breast tumors were segmented and radiomic features were extracted utilizing CERR software following the IBSI guidelines. LASSO regression was employed to select the most important radiomics features prior to model development. Five-fold cross validation was then utilized alongside support vector machines, resulting in predictive models for various combinations of imaging data series. The highest AUC and accuracy for differentiation between luminal A and B was achieved by all MR sequences (AUC 0.98; accuracy 97.3). The best results in AUC for prediction of hormone receptor status and proliferation rate were found based on all MR and PET data (ER AUC 0.87, PR AUC 0.88, Ki-67 AUC 0.997). PET provided the best determination of grading (AUC 0.71), while all MR and PET analyses yielded the best results for lymphonodular and distant metastatic spread (0.81 and 0.99, respectively). 18F-FDG PET/MRI enables comprehensive high-quality radiomics analysis for breast cancer phenotyping and tumor decoding, utilizing the perks of simultaneously acquired morphologic, functional and metabolic data.

Project description:Background and purposeDespite availability of advanced imaging, distinguishing radiation necrosis from recurrent brain tumors noninvasively is a big challenge in neuro-oncology. Our aim was to determine the feasibility of radiomic (computer-extracted texture) features in differentiating radiation necrosis from recurrent brain tumors on routine MR imaging (gadolinium T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR).Materials and methodsA retrospective study of brain tumor MR imaging performed 9 months (or later) post-radiochemotherapy was performed from 2 institutions. Fifty-eight patient studies were analyzed, consisting of a training (n = 43) cohort from one institution and an independent test (n = 15) cohort from another, with surgical histologic findings confirmed by an experienced neuropathologist at the respective institutions. Brain lesions on MR imaging were manually annotated by an expert neuroradiologist. A set of radiomic features was extracted for every lesion on each MR imaging sequence: gadolinium T1WI, T2WI, and FLAIR. Feature selection was used to identify the top 5 most discriminating features for every MR imaging sequence on the training cohort. These features were then evaluated on the test cohort by a support vector machine classifier. The classification performance was compared against diagnostic reads by 2 expert neuroradiologists who had access to the same MR imaging sequences (gadolinium T1WI, T2WI, and FLAIR) as the classifier.ResultsOn the training cohort, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was highest for FLAIR with 0.79; 95% CI, 0.77-0.81 for primary (n = 22); and 0.79, 95% CI, 0.75-0.83 for metastatic subgroups (n = 21). Of the 15 studies in the holdout cohort, the support vector machine classifier identified 12 of 15 studies correctly, while neuroradiologist 1 diagnosed 7 of 15 and neuroradiologist 2 diagnosed 8 of 15 studies correctly, respectively.ConclusionsOur preliminary results suggest that radiomic features may provide complementary diagnostic information on routine MR imaging sequences that may improve the distinction of radiation necrosis from recurrence for both primary and metastatic brain tumors.

Project description:Early and accurate mild cognitive impairment (MCI) detection within a heterogeneous, nonclinical population is needed to improve care for persons at risk of developing dementia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based classification may aid early diagnosis of MCI, but has only been applied within clinical cohorts. We aimed to determine the generalizability of MRI-based classification probability scores to detect MCI on an individual basis within a general population. To determine classification probability scores, an AD, mild-AD, and moderate-AD detection model were created with anatomical and diffusion MRI measures calculated from a clinical Alzheimer's Disease (AD) cohort and subsequently applied to a population-based cohort with 48 MCI and 617 normal aging subjects. Each model's ability to detect MCI was quantified using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and compared with an MCI detection model trained and applied to the population-based cohort. The AD-model and mild-AD identified MCI from controls better than chance level (AUC = 0.600, p = 0.025; AUC = 0.619, p = 0.008). In contrast, the moderate-AD-model was not able to separate MCI from normal aging (AUC = 0.567, p = 0.147). The MCI-model was able to separate MCI from controls better than chance (p = 0.014) with mean AUC values comparable with the AD-model (AUC = 0.611, p = 1.0). Within our population-based cohort, classification models detected MCI better than chance. Nevertheless, classification performance rates were moderate and may be insufficient to facilitate robust MRI-based MCI detection on an individual basis. Our data indicate that multiparametric MRI-based classification algorithms, that are effective in clinical cohorts, may not straightforwardly translate to applications in a general population.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate and validate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based machine learning classifiers for early identification of poor responders after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).MethodsPatients with LARC who underwent nCRT were included in this retrospective study (207 patients). After preprocessing of multiparametric MRI, radiomics features were extracted and four feature selection methods were used to select robust features. The selected features were used to build five machine learning classifiers, and 20 (four feature selection methods × five machine learning classifiers) predictive models for the screening of poor responders were constructed. The predictive models were evaluated according to the area under the curve (AUC), F1 score, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.ResultsEighty percent of all predictive models constructed achieved an AUC of more than 0.70. A predictive model using a support vector machine classifier with the minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) selection method followed by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) selection method showed superior prediction performance, with an AUC of 0.923, an F1 score of 88.14%, and accuracy of 91.03%. The predictive performance of the constructed models was not improved by ComBat compensation.ConclusionsIn rectal cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, machine learning classifiers with radiomics features extracted from multiparametric MRI were able to accurately discriminate poor responders from good responders. The techniques should provide additional information to guide patient-tailored treatment.

Project description:ObjectivesThe postoperative early recurrence (ER) rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is 50%, and no highly reliable predictive tool has been developed yet. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a predictive model with radiomics analysis based on multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) images to predict early recurrence of HCC.MethodsIn total, 302 patients (training dataset: n = 211; validation dataset: n = 91) with pathologically confirmed HCC who underwent preoperative MR imaging were enrolled in this study. Three-dimensional regions of interest of the entire lesion were accessed by manually drawing along the tumor margins on the multiple sequences of MR images. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression were then applied to select ER-related radiomics features and construct radiomics signatures. Univariate analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to identify the significant clinico-radiological factors and establish a clinico-radiological model. A predictive model of ER incorporating the fusion radiomics signature and clinico-radiological risk factors was constructed. The diagnostic performance and clinical utility of this model were measured by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC), calibration curve, and decision curve analyses.ResultsThe fusion radiomics signature consisting of 6 radiomics features achieved good prediction performance (training dataset: AUC = 0.85, validation dataset: AUC = 0.79). The predictive model of ER integrating clinico-radiological risk factors and the fusion radiomics signature improved the prediction efficacy with AUCs of 0.91 and 0.87 in the training and validation datasets, respectively. Furthermore, the nomogram and ER risk stratification system based on the predictive model demonstrated encouraging predictions of the individualized risk of ER and gave three risk groups with low, intermediate, or high risk of ER.ConclusionsThe proposed predictive model incorporating clinico-radiological factors and the fusion radiomics signature derived from multiparametric MR images may be an effective tool for the individualized prediction of postoperative ER in patients with HCC.
