A deep learning approach with subregion partition in MRI image analysis for metastatic brain tumor.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To propose a deep learning network with subregion partition for predicting metastatic origins and EGFR/HER2 status in patients with brain metastasis.

Methods

We retrospectively enrolled 140 patients with clinico-pathologically confirmed brain metastasis originated from primary NSCLC (n = 60), breast cancer (BC, n = 60) and other tumor types (n = 20). All patients underwent contrast-enhanced brain MRI scans. The brain metastasis was subdivided into phenotypically consistent subregions using patient-level and population-level clustering. A residual network with a global average pooling layer (RN-GAP) was proposed to calculate deep learning-based features. Features from each subregion were selected with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) to build logistic regression models (LRs) for predicting primary tumor types (LR-NSCLC for the NSCLC origin and LR-BC for the BC origin), EGFR mutation status (LR-EGFR) and HER2 status (LR-HER2).

Results

The brain metastasis can be partitioned into a marginal subregion (S1) and an inner subregion (S2) in the MRI image. The developed models showed good predictive performance in the training (AUCs, LR-NSCLC vs. LR-BC vs. LR-EGFR vs. LR-HER2, 0.860 vs. 0.909 vs. 0.850 vs. 0.900) and validation (AUCs, LR-NSCLC vs. LR-BC vs. LR-EGFR vs. LR-HER2, 0.819 vs. 0.872 vs. 0.750 vs. 0.830) set.

Conclusion

Our proposed deep learning network with subregion partitions can accurately predict metastatic origins and EGFR/HER2 status of brain metastasis, and hence may have the potential to be non-invasive and preoperative new markers for guiding personalized treatment plans in patients with brain metastasis.

Project description:Brain tumors, characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, pose a significant threat to human health. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment and improved patient outcomes. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the primary diagnostic tool for brain tumors, providing detailed visualizations of the brain's intricate structures. However, the complexity and variability of tumor shapes and locations often challenge physicians in achieving accurate tumor segmentation on MRI images. Precise tumor segmentation is essential for effective treatment planning and prognosis. To address this challenge, we propose a novel hybrid deep learning technique, Convolutional Neural Network and ResNeXt101 (ConvNet-ResNeXt101), for automated tumor segmentation and classification. Our approach commences with data acquisition from the BRATS 2020 dataset, a benchmark collection of MRI images with corresponding tumor segmentations. Next, we employ batch normalization to smooth and enhance the collected data, followed by feature extraction using the AlexNet model. This involves extracting features based on tumor shape, position, shape, and surface characteristics. To select the most informative features for effective segmentation, we utilize an advanced meta-heuristics algorithm called Advanced Whale Optimization (AWO). AWO mimics the hunting behavior of humpback whales to iteratively search for the optimal feature subset. With the selected features, we perform image segmentation using the ConvNet-ResNeXt101 model. This deep learning architecture combines the strengths of ConvNet and ResNeXt101, a type of ConvNet with aggregated residual connections. Finally, we apply the same ConvNet-ResNeXt101 model for tumor classification, categorizing the segmented tumor into distinct types. Our experiments demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed ConvNet-ResNeXt101 model compared to existing approaches, achieving an accuracy of 99.27% for the tumor core class with a minimum learning elapsed time of 0.53 s.

Project description:BackgroundTraining deep learning (DL) models to automatically recognize diseases in nasopharyngeal MRI is a challenging task, and optimizing the performance of DL models is difficult.PurposeTo develop a method of training anatomical partition-based DL model which integrates knowledge of clinical anatomical regions in otorhinolaryngology to automatically recognize diseases in nasopharyngeal MRI.Study typeSingle-center retrospective study.PopulationA total of 2485 patients with nasopharyngeal diseases (age range 14-82 years, female, 779[31.3%]) and 600 people with normal nasopharynx (age range 18-78 years, female, 281[46.8%]) were included.Sequence3.0 T; T2WI fast spin-echo sequence.AssessmentFull images (512 × 512) of 3085 patients constituted 100% of the dataset, 50% and 25% of which were randomly retained as two new datasets. Two new series of images (seg112 image [112 × 112] and seg224 image [224 × 224]) were automatically generated by a segmentation model. Four pretrained neural networks for nasopharyngeal diseases classification were trained under the nine datasets (full image, seg112 image, and seg224 image, each with 100% dataset, 50% dataset, and 25% dataset).Statistical testsThe receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the performance of the models. Analysis of variance was used to compare the performance of the models built with different datasets. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.ResultsWhen the 100% dataset was used for training, the performances of the models trained with the seg112 images (average area under the curve [aAUC] 0.949 ± 0.052), seg224 images (aAUC 0.948 ± 0.053), and full images (aAUC 0.935 ± 0.053) were similar (P = 0.611). When the 25% dataset was used for training, the mean aAUC of the models that were trained with seg112 images (0.823 ± 0.116) and seg224 images (0.765 ± 0.155) was significantly higher than the models that were trained with full images (0.640 ± 0.154).Data conclusionThe proposed method can potentially improve the performance of the DL model for automatic recognition of diseases in nasopharyngeal MRI.Level of evidence4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 1.
