Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mitosis karyorrhexis index (MKI) can reflect the proliferation status of neuroblastoma cells. This study aimed to investigate the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) radiomics features associated with the MKI status in neuroblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS 246 neuroblastoma patients were retrospectively included and divided into three groups: low-MKI, intermediate-MKI, and high-MKI. They were randomly stratified into a training set and a testing set at a ratio of 8:2. Tumor regions of interest were delineated on arterial-phase CECT images, and radiomics features were extracted. After reducing the dimensionality of the radiomics features, a random forest algorithm was employed to establish a three-class classification model to predict MKI status. RESULTS The classification model consisted of 5 radiomics features. The mean area under the curve (AUC) of the classification model was 0.916 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.913-0.921) in the training set and 0.858 (95% CI 0.841-0.864) in the testing set. Specifically, the classification model achieved AUCs of 0.928 (95% CI 0.927-0.934), 0.915 (95% CI 0.912-0.919), and 0.901 (95% CI 0.900-0.909) for predicting low-MKI, intermediate-MKI, and high-MKI, respectively, in the training set. In the testing set, the classification model achieved AUCs of 0.873 (95% CI 0.859-0.882), 0.860 (95% CI 0.852-0.872), and 0.820 (95% CI 0.813-0.839) for predicting low-MKI, intermediate-MKI, and high-MKI, respectively. CONCLUSIONS CECT radiomics features were found to be correlated with MKI status and are helpful for reflecting the proliferation status of neuroblastoma cells.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to develop highly precise radiomics and deep learning models to accurately detect acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) using a T1WI image. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 604 brain magnetic resonance data of ALL group and normal children (NC) group. Two radiologists independently retrieved radiomics features after manually delineating the area of interest along the clivus at the median sagittal position of T1WI. According to the 9:1 ratio, all samples were randomly divided into the training cohort and the testing cohort. support vector machine was then used to classify the radiomics model using the features that had a correlation coefficient of greater than 0.99 in the training cohort. The Efficientnet-B3 network model received the training set images to create a deep learning model. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC curve were calculated in order to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the different models after the validation of two aforementioned models in the testing cohort. RESULTS The deep learning model had a higher AUC value of 0.981 than the radiomics model's value of 0.962 in the testing cohort. Delong's test showed no statistical difference between the two models (P>0.05). The accuracy/sensitivity/specificity/negative predictive value/positive predictive value achieved 0.9180/0.9565/0.8947/0.9714/0.8462 for the radiomics model and 0.9344/0.8696/0.9737/0.9250/0.9524 for deep learning model. CONCLUSIONS The deep learning and radiomics models showed high AUC values in the training and test cohorts. They also exhibited good diagnostic efficacy for predicting ALL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop and assess the precision of a radiomics signature based on computed tomography imaging for predicting segmental chromosomal aberrations (SCAs) status at 1p36 and 11q23 in neuroblastoma. METHODS Eighty-seven pediatric patients diagnosed with neuroblastoma and with confirmed genetic testing for SCAs status at 1p36 and 11q23 were enrolled and randomly stratified into a training set and a test set. Radiomics features were extracted from 3-phase computed tomography images and analyzed using various statistical methods. An optimal set of radiomics features was selected using a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model to calculate the radiomics score for each patient. The radiomics signature was validated using receiver operating characteristic curves to obtain the area under the curve and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Eight radiomics features were carefully selected and used to compute the radiomics score, which demonstrated a statistically significant distinction between the SCAs and non-SCAs groups in both sets. The radiomics signature achieved an area under the curve of 0.869 (95% CI, 0.788-0.943) and 0.883 (95% CI, 0.753-0.978) in the training and test sets, respectively. The accuracy of the radiomics signature was 0.817 and 0.778 in the training and test sets, respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test confirmed that the radiomics signature was well calibrated. CONCLUSIONS Computed tomography-based radiomics signature has the potential to predict SCAs at 1p36 and 11q23 in neuroblastoma.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To identify ultra-high-risk (UHR) neuroblastoma patients who experienced disease-related mortality within 18 months of diagnosis within the high-risk cohort using computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 105 high-risk neuroblastoma patients, divided into a training set (n = 74) and a test set (n = 31). Radiomics features were extracted and selected from arterial phase CT images, and an optimal radiomics signature was established using the support vector machine algorithm. Evaluation metrics, including area under the curve (AUC) and 95% confidence interval (CI), were calculated. Furthermore, the fit and clinical benefit of the signature, along with its correlation with overall survival (OS), were analyzed. RESULTS The optimal radiomics signature comprised 11 features. In the training set, AUC and accuracy were 0.911 (95% CI: 0.840-0.982) and 0.892, respectively. In the test set, AUC and accuracy were 0.828 (95% CI: 0.669-0.987) and 0.839, respectively. There was no significant difference between predicted probability and actual probability, and the signature demonstrated net benefit. The concordance index of this signature for predicting OS was 0.743 (95% CI: 0.672-0.814) in the training set and 0.688 (95% CI: 0.566-0.810) in the test set. Moreover, the signature achieved AUC values of 0.832, 0.863, and 0.721 for 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year OS in the training set, and 0.870, 0.836, and 0.638 in the test set for the respective time periods. CONCLUSION The utilization of CT-based radiomics signature to identify an UHR subgroup of neuroblastoma patients within the high-risk cohort can help aid in predicting early disease progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the role of CT radiomics in distinguishing Wilms tumor (WT) from clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) in pediatric patients. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 83 cases of WT and 33 cases of CCSK. These cases were randomly stratified into a training set (n = 81) and a test set (n = 35). Several imaging features from the nephrographic phase were analyzed, including the maximum tumor diameter, the ratio of the maximum CT value of the tumor solid portion to the mean CT value of the contralateral renal vein (CTmax/CT renal vein), and the presence of dilated peritumoral cysts. Radiomics features from corticomedullary phase were extracted, selected, and subsequently integrated into a logistic regression model. We evaluated the model's performance using the area under the curve (AUC), 95% confidence interval (CI), and accuracy. RESULTS In the training set, there were statistically significant differences in the maximum tumor diameter (P = 0.021) and the presence of dilated peritumoral cysts (P = 0.005) between WT and CCSK, whereas in the test set, no statistically significant differences were observed (P > 0.05). The radiomics model, constructed using four radiomics features, demonstrated strong performance in the training set with an AUC of 0.889 (95% CI: 0.811-0.967) and an accuracy of 0.864. Upon evaluation using fivefold cross-validation in the training set, the AUC remained high at 0.863 (95% CI: 0.774-0.952), with an accuracy of 0.852. In the test set, the radiomics model achieved an AUC of 0.792 (95% CI: 0.616-0.968) and an accuracy of 0.857. CONCLUSION CT radiomics proves to be diagnostically valuable for distinguishing between WT and CCSK in pediatric cases.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma is an extremely heterogeneous tumor that commonly occurs in children. The diagnosis and treatment of this tumor pose considerable challenges due to its varied clinical presentations and intricate genetic aberrations. Presently, various imaging modalities, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography, are utilized to assess neuroblastoma. Nevertheless, these conventional imaging modalities have limitations in providing quantitative information for accurate diagnosis and prognosis. Radiomics, an emerging technique, can extract intricate medical imaging information that is imperceptible to the human eye and transform it into quantitative data. In conjunction with deep learning algorithms, radiomics holds great promise in complementing existing imaging modalities. The aim of this review is to showcase the potential of radiomics and deep learning advancements to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of current imaging modalities for neuroblastoma.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the association of computed tomography radiomics signature with progression-free survival (PFS) in neuroblastoma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively included 167 neuroblastoma patients who were divided into a training set and a test set through stratified sampling at a ratio of 7:3. Regions of interest of the primary tumours were delineated on pretreatment contrast-enhanced computed tomography images and radiomics features were extracted from them. The intraclass correlation coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression algorithm were applied to select radiomics features and construct the radiomics signature. The effectiveness of the signature in predicting PFS was evaluated using the concordance index (C-index) and 95% confidence interval in both the training and the test sets. The time-dependent receiver operator characteristic curve of the radiomics signature was plotted and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. A calibration curve was used to assess the difference between the predicted probability of the radiomics signature and the observed probability at different time points. RESULTS The radiomics signature was composed of six features, which achieved a C-index of 0.733 (95% confidence interval 0.664-0.803) in the training set and 0.734 (95% confidence interval 0.608-0.861) in the test set. In the training set, the radiomics signature yielded an AUC of 0.707, 0.737, 0.788, 0.859 and 0.829 for 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year PFS, respectively. Similarly, the radiomics signature exhibited an AUC of 0.738, 0.807, 0.761, 0.787 and 0.818 for 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year PFS, respectively, in the test set. The calibration curves showed no significant difference between the predicted probability of the radiomics signature and the observed probability for up to 5 years. CONCLUSIONS Computed tomography radiomics features exhibit a significant correlation with the PFS of neuroblastoma patients, particularly in terms of long-term outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To predict the International Neuroblastoma Pathology Classification (INPC) in neuroblastoma using a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics approach. METHODS We enrolled 297 patients with neuroblastoma retrospectively and divided them into a training group (n = 208) and a testing group (n = 89). To balance the classes in the training group, a Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique was applied. A logistic regression radiomics model based on the radiomics features after dimensionality reduction was then constructed and validated in both the training and testing groups. To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the radiomics model, the receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration curve were utilized. Moreover, the decision curve analysis to assess the net benefits of the radiomics model at different high-risk thresholds was employed. RESULTS Seventeen radiomics features were used to construct radiomics model. In the training group, radiomics model achieved an area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.851 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.805-0.897), 0.770, 0.694, and 0.847, respectively. In the testing group, radiomics model achieved an AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.816 (95% CI 0.725-0.906), 0.787, 0.793, and 0.778, respectively. The calibration curve indicated that the radiomics model was well fitted in both the training and testing groups (p > 0.05). Decision curve analysis further confirmed that the radiomics model performed well at different high-risk thresholds. CONCLUSION Radiomics analysis of contrast-enhanced CT demonstrates favorable diagnostic capabilities in distinguishing the INPC subgroups of neuroblastoma. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Radiomics features of contrast-enhanced CT images correlate with the International Neuroblastoma Pathology Classification (INPC) of neuroblastoma.
