Abstract
OBJECTIVE CA125 is recommended by many countries as the primary screening test for ovarian cancer. But there are patients with ovarian cancer having normal CA125. We hope to identify the types of EOC with normal CA125 levels better by building a refined model based on the ultrasound radiomics, thus providing precise medical treatment for patients. METHODS We included 58 patients with EOC with normal CA125 from 2 centres, who were confirmed by preoperative ultrasound and pathology. We extracted 1130 radiomics features based on the tumour's region of interest from the most typical ultrasound image of each patient. We selected radiomics and clinical features by LASSO and logistic regression to construct Rad-score and clinical models, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curves judged their test efficacy. On the basis of the combined model, we developed a nomogram. RESULTS Area under the curves (AUCs) of 0.93 and 0.83 were achieved in both the training and test groups for the combined model. There were similar AUCs between the Rad-score and clinical models of 0.82 and 0.80, respectively. By analysing the calibration curves, it was determined that the nomogram matched actual observations in the training cohort. CONCLUSION Ultrasound radiomics can differentiate type I and type II EOC with normal CA125 levels. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This study is the first to focus on EOC cases with normal level of CA125. The subset of patients constituting 20% of the disease population may require more refined radiomics models.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e35344. [PMID: 39166005 PMCID: PMC11334804 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e35344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Prognostic models play a crucial role in providing personalised risk assessment, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating the counselling of patients with cancer. However, previous imaging-based artificial intelligence models of epithelial ovarian cancer lacked interpretability. In this study, we aimed to develop an interpretable machine-learning model to predict progression-free survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer using clinical variables and radiomics features. A total of 102 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans were enrolled in this retrospective study. Pre-surgery clinical data, including age, performance status, body mass index, tumour stage, venous blood cancer antigen-125 (CA125) level, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, red blood cell count, haemoglobin level, and platelet count, were obtained from medical records. The volume of interest for each tumour was manually delineated slice-by-slice along the boundary. A total of 2074 radiomic features were extracted from the pre- and post-contrast computed tomography images. Optimal radiomic features were selected using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator logistic regression. Multivariate Cox analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of three-year progression-free survival. The random forest algorithm developed radiomic and combined models using four-fold cross-validation. Finally, the Shapley additive explanation algorithm was applied to interpret the predictions of the combined model. Multivariate Cox analysis identified CA-125 levels (P = 0.015), tumour stage (P = 0.019), and Radscore (P < 0.001) as independent predictors of progression-free survival. The combined model based on these factors achieved an area under the curve of 0.812 (95 % confidence interval: 0.802-0.822) in the training cohort and 0.772 (95 % confidence interval: 0.727-0.817) in the validation cohort. The most impactful features on the model output were Radscore, followed by tumour stage and CA-125. In conclusion, the Shapley additive explanation-based interpretation of the prognostic model enables clinicians to understand the reasoning behind predictions better.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a deep learning (DL) model for differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian tumors of Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System Ultrasound (O-RADS US) Category 4 lesions, and validate its diagnostic performance. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 1619 US images obtained from three centers from December 2014 to March 2023. DeepLabV3 and YOLOv8 were jointly used to segment, classify, and detect ovarian tumors. Precision and recall and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were employed to assess the model performance. RESULTS A total of 519 patients (including 269 benign and 250 malignant masses) were enrolled in the study. The number of women included in the training, validation, and test cohorts was 426, 46, and 47, respectively. The detection models exhibited an average precision of 98.68% (95% CI: 0.95-0.99) for benign masses and 96.23% (95% CI: 0.92-0.98) for malignant masses. Moreover, in the training set, the AUC was 0.96 (95% CI: 0.94-0.97), whereas in the validation set, the AUC was 0.93(95% CI: 0.89-0.94) and 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91-0.96) in the test set. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive values for the training set were 0.943,0.957,0.951,0.966, and 0.936, respectively, whereas those for the validation set were 0.905,0.935, 0.935,0.919, and 0.931, respectively. In addition, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for the test set were 0.925, 0.955, 0.941, 0.956, and 0.927, respectively. CONCLUSION The constructed DL model exhibited high diagnostic performance in distinguishing benign and malignant ovarian tumors in O-RADS US category 4 lesions.

Abstract
Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) is one of the most common kidney diseases in children. The current diagnosis and classification of HSPN depend on pathological biopsy, which is seriously limited by its invasive and high-risk nature. The aim of the study was to explore the potential of radiomics model for evaluating the histopathological classification of HSPN based on the ultrasound (US) images. A total of 440 patients with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis proved by biopsy were analyzed retrospectively. They were grouped according to two histopathological categories: those without glomerular crescent formation (ISKDC grades I-II) and those with glomerular crescent formation (ISKDC grades III-V). The patients were randomly assigned to either a training cohort (n = 308) or a validation cohort (n = 132) with a ratio of 7:3. The sonologist manually drew the regions of interest (ROI) on the ultrasound images of the right kidney including the cortex and medulla. Then, the ultrasound radiomics features were extracted using the Pyradiomics package. The dimensions of radiomics features were reduced by Spearman correlation coefficients and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method. Finally, three radiomics models using k-nearest neighbor (KNN), logistic regression (LR), and support vector machine (SVM) were established, respectively. The predictive performance of such classifiers was assessed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. 105 radiomics features were extracted from derived US images of each patient and 14 features were ultimately selected for the machine learning analysis. Three machine learning models including k-nearest neighbor (KNN), logistic regression (LR), and support vector machine (SVM) were established for HSPN classification. Of the three classifiers, the SVM classifier performed the best in the validation cohort [area under the curve (AUC) =0.870 (95% CI, 0.795-0.944), sensitivity = 0.706, specificity = 0.950]. The US-based radiomics had good predictive value for HSPN classification, which can be served as a noninvasive tool to evaluate the severity of renal pathology and crescentic formation in children with HSPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We devoted ourselves to proving that the initial transthoracic echocardiography score (TTES) had predictive significance for patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). METHODS In this retrospective analysis, 274 CAPD patients who had PD therapy were recruited sequentially. TTE exams were performed three months following the start of PD therapy. All patients were divided into two groups based on the strength of their TTES levels. TTES's predictive value for CAPD patients was then determined using LASSO regression and Cox regression. RESULTS During a median of 52 months, 46 patients (16.8%) died from all causes, and 32 patients (11.7%) died from cardiovascular disease (CV). The TTES was computed as follows: 0.109 × aortic root diameter (ARD, mm) - 0.976 × LVEF (> 55%, yes or no) + 0.010 × left ventricular max index, (LVMI, g/m2) + 0.035 × E/e' ratio. The higher TTES value (≥ 3.7) had a higher risk of all-cause death (hazard ratio, HR, 3.70, 95% confidence index, 95%CI, 1.45-9.46, P = 0.006) as well as CV mortality (HR, 2.74, 95%CI 1.15-19.17, P = 0.042). Moreover, the TTES had an attractive predictive efficiency for all-cause mortality (AUC = 0.762, 95%CI 0.645-0.849) and CV mortality (AUC = 0.746, 95%CI 0.640-0.852). The introduced nomogram, which was based on TTES and clinical variables, exhibited a high predictive value for all-cause and CV mortality in CAPD patients. CONCLUSION TTES is a pretty good predictor of clinical outcomes, and the introduced TTES-based nomogram yields an accurate prediction value for CAPD patients.

Abstract
Introduction We aimed to predict platinum sensitivity using routine baseline multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and established clinical data in a radiomics framework. Methods We evaluated 96 patients with ovarian cancer who underwent multimodal MRI and routine laboratory tests between January 2016 and December 2020. The patients underwent diffusion-weighted, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted, and T2-weighted MRI. Subsequently, 293 radiomic features were extracted by manually identifying tumor regions of interest. The features were subjected to the least absolute shrinkage and selection operators, leaving only a few selected features. We built the first prediction model with a tree-based classifier using selected radiomics features. A second prediction model was built by combining the selected radiomic features with four established clinical factors: age, disease stage, initial tumor marker level, and treatment course. Both models were built and tested using a five-fold cross-validation. Results Our radiomics model predicted platinum sensitivity with an AUC of 0.65 using a few radiomics features related to heterogeneity. The second combined model had an AUC of 0.77, confirming the incremental benefits of the radiomics model in addition to models using established clinical factors. Conclusion Our combined radiomics-clinical data model was effective in predicting platinum sensitivity in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aim was to conduct a systematic review of the literature reporting the application of radiomics to imaging techniques in patients with ovarian lesions. METHODS MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, Ovid and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for relevant articles. Using PRISMA criteria, data were extracted from short-listed studies. Validity and bias were assessed independently by 2 researchers in consensus using the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool. Radiomic Quality Score (RQS) was utilised to assess radiomic methodology. RESULTS After duplicate removal, 63 articles were identified, of which 33 were eligible. Fifteen assessed lesion classifications, 10 treatment outcomes, 5 outcome predictions, 2 metastatic disease predictions and 1 classification/outcome prediction. The sample size ranged from 28 to 501 patients. Twelve studies investigated CT, 11 MRI, 4 ultrasound and 1 FDG PET-CT. Twenty-three studies (70%) incorporated 3D segmentation. Various modelling methods were used, most commonly LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) (10/33). Five studies (15%) compared radiomic models to radiologist interpretation, all demonstrating superior performance. Only 6 studies (18%) included external validation. Five studies (15%) had a low overall risk of bias, 9 (27%) moderate, and 19 (58%) high risk of bias. The highest RQS achieved was 61.1%, and the lowest was - 16.7%. CONCLUSION Radiomics has the potential as a clinical diagnostic tool in patients with ovarian masses and may allow better lesion stratification, guiding more personalised patient care in the future. Standardisation of the feature extraction methodology, larger and more diverse patient cohorts and real-world evaluation is required before clinical translation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Radiomics shows promising results in improving lesion stratification, treatment selection and outcome prediction. Modelling with larger cohorts and real-world evaluation is required before clinical translation. KEY POINTS • Radiomics is emerging as a tool for enhancing clinical decisions in patients with ovarian masses. • Radiomics shows promising results in improving lesion stratification, treatment selection and outcome prediction. • Modelling with larger cohorts and real-world evaluation is required before clinical translation.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a polyfactorial process associated with alterations in metabolic pathways. A high-performance screening tool for EOC is in high demand to improve prognostic outcome but is still missing. Here, a concave octahedron Mn2 O3 /(Co,Mn)(Co,Mn)2 O4 (MO/CMO) composite with a heterojunction, rough surface, hollow interior, and sharp corners is developed to record metabolic patterns of ovarian tumors by laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS). The MO/CMO composites with multiple physical effects induce enhanced light absorption, preferred charge transfer, increased photothermal conversion, and selective trapping of small molecules. The MO/CMO shows ≈2-5-fold signal enhancement compared to mono- or dual-enhancement counterparts, and ≈10-48-fold compared to the commercialized products. Subsequently, serum metabolic fingerprints of ovarian tumors are revealed by MO/CMO-assisted LDI-MS, achieving high reproducibility of direct serum detection without treatment. Furthermore, machine learning of the metabolic fingerprints distinguishes malignant ovarian tumors from benign controls with the area under the curve value of 0.987. Finally, seven metabolites associated with the progression of ovarian tumors are screened as potential biomarkers. The approach guides the future depiction of the state-of-the-art matrix for intensive MS detection and accelerates the growth of nanomaterials-based platforms toward precision diagnosis scenarios.

[PMID: 36303093 PMCID: PMC9935717 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-09180-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the methodological rigor of radiomics-based studies using noninvasive imaging in ovarian setting. METHODS Multiple medical literature archives (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) were searched to retrieve original studies focused on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), or positron emission tomography (PET) radiomics for ovarian disorders' assessment. Two researchers in consensus evaluated each investigation using the radiomics quality score (RQS). Subgroup analyses were performed to assess whether the total RQS varied according to first author category, study aim and topic, imaging modality, and journal quartile. RESULTS From a total of 531 items, 63 investigations were finally included in the analysis. The studies were greatly focused (94%) on the field of oncology, with CT representing the most used imaging technique (41%). Overall, the papers achieved a median total RQS 6 (IQR, -0.5 to 11), corresponding to a percentage of 16.7% of the maximum score (IQR, 0-30.6%). The scoring was low especially due to the lack of prospective design and formal validation of the results. At subgroup analysis, the 4 studies not focused on oncological topic showed significantly lower quality scores than the others. CONCLUSIONS The overall methodological rigor of radiomics studies in the ovarian field is still not ideal, limiting the reproducibility of results and potential translation to clinical setting. More efforts towards a standardized methodology in the workflow are needed to allow radiomics to become a viable tool for clinical decision-making. KEY POINTS • The 63 included studies using noninvasive imaging for ovarian applications were mostly focused on oncologic topic (94%). • The included investigations achieved a median total RQS 6 (IQR, -0.5 to 11), indicating poor methodological rigor. • The RQS was low especially due to the lack of prospective design and formal validation of the results.

Abstract
Objective To assess the predictive value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics for progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). Methods 191 patients with prostate cancer confirmed by puncture biopsy or surgical pathology were included in this retrospective study, including 133 in the training group and 58 in the validation group. All patients underwent T2WI and DWI serial scans. Three radiomics models were constructed using univariate logistic regression and Gradient Boosting Decision Tree(GBDT) for feature screening, followed by Cox risk regression to construct a mixed model combining radiomics features and clinicopathological risk factors and to draw a nomogram. The performance of the models was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration curve and decision curve analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied for survival analysis. Results Compared with the radiomics model, the hybrid model consisting of a combination of radiomics features and clinical data performed the best in predicting PFS in PCa patients, with AUCs of 0.926 and 0.917 in the training and validation groups, respectively. Decision curve analysis showed that the radiomics nomogram had good clinical application and the calibration curve proved to have good stability. Survival curves showed that PFS was shorter in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group. Conclusion The hybrid model constructed from radiomics and clinical data showed excellent performance in predicting PFS in prostate cancer patients. The nomogram provides a non-invasive diagnostic tool for risk stratification of clinical patients.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a nomogram based on an ultrasound radiomics model to predict the risk grade of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). 216 GIST patients pathologically diagnosed between December 2016 and December 2021 were reviewed and divided into a training cohort (n = 163) and a validation cohort (n = 53) in a ratio of 3:1. The tumor region of interest was depicted on each patient’s ultrasound image using ITK-SNAP, and the radiomics features were extracted. By filtering unstable features and using Spearman’s correlation analysis, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm, a radiomics score was derived to predict the malignant potential of GISTs. a radiomics nomogram that combines the radiomics score and clinical ultrasound predictors was constructed and assessed in terms of calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness. The radiomics score from ultrasound images was significantly associated with the malignant potential of GISTs. The radiomics nomogram was superior to the clinical ultrasound nomogram and the radiomics score, and it achieved an AUC of 0.90 in the validation cohort. Based on the decision curve analysis, the radiomics nomogram was found to be more clinically significant and useful. A nomogram consisting of radiomics score and the maximum tumor diameter demonstrated the highest accuracy in the prediction of risk grade in GISTs. The outcomes of our study provide vital insights for important preoperative clinical decisions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ovarian cancer is one of the most common causes of death in gynecological tumors, and its most common type is epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). This study aimed to establish a radiomics signature based on ultrasound images to predict the histopathological types of EOC. METHODS Overall, 265 patients with EOC who underwent preoperative ultrasonography and surgery were eligible. They were randomly sorted into two cohorts (training cohort: test cohort = 7:3). We outlined the region of interest of the tumor on the ultrasound images of the lesion. Then, the radiomics features were extracted. Clinical, Rad-score and combined models were constructed based on the least absolute shrinkage, selection operator, and logistic regression analysis. The performance of the models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves and decision curve analysis (DCA). A nomogram was formulated based on the combined prediction model. RESULTS The combined model had good performance in predicting EOC histopathological types, with an AUC of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.77-0.90) and 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71-0.93) in the training and test cohorts, respectively. The calibration curves showed that the nomogram estimation was consistent with the actual observations. DCA also verified the clinical value of the combined model. CONCLUSIONS The combined model containing clinical and ultrasound radiomics features showed an excellent performance in predicting type I and type II EOC. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This study presents the first application of ultrasound radiomics features to distinguish EOC histopathological types. The proposed clinical-radiomics nomogram could help gynecologists non-invasively identify EOC types before surgery.

Cancer Lett 2021; 527:107-114. [PMID: 34929334 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2021.12.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Revised: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Although conventional ultrasound (CUS) allows for clear detection of parotid gland lesions (PGLs), it fails to accurately provide benign-malignant differentiation due to overlapping morphological features. Radiomics is capable of processing large-quantity volume of data hidden in CUS image undiscovered by naked eyes. The aim was to explore the potential of CUS-based radiomics score (Rad-score) in distinguishing benign (BPGLs) and malignant PGLs (MPGLs). A consecutive of 281 PGLs (197 in training set and 84 in test set) with definite pathological confirmation was retrospectively enrolled. 1465 radiomics features were extracted from CUS images and Rad-score was constructed by using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) algorithm. Different nomogram models, including clinic-radiomics (Clin + Rad-score), CUS-clinic (CUS + Clin) and combined CUS-clinic-radiomics (CUS + Clin + Rad-score), were built using logistic regression. The diagnostic performance of different models were calculated and compared by area under receiver operating curve (AUC) and corresponding sensitivity and specificity. Finally, 26 radiomics features were independent signatures for predicting MPGLs, with MPGLs having higher Rad-scores in both cohorts (both P < 0.05). In the test population, CUS + Clin + Rad-score obtained an excellent diagnostic result, with significantly higher AUC value (AUC = 0.91) when compared to that of CUS + Clin (AUC = 0.84) and Clin + Rad-score (AUC = 0.74), respectively (both P < 0.05). In addition, the sensitivity of this combined model was higher than that of single Rad-score model (100.00% vs. 71.43%, P = 0.031) without compromising the specificity value (82.86% vs. 88.57%, P = 0.334). The calibration curve and decision curve analysis also indicated the clinical effectiveness of the proposed combined nomogram. The combined CUS-clinic-radiomics model may help improve the discrimination of BPGLs from MPGLs.

Diagnosis of Ovarian Neoplasms Using Nomogram in Combination With Ultrasound Image-Based Radiomics Signature and Clinical Factors. Front Genet 2021; 12:753948. [PMID: 34650603 PMCID: PMC8505695 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.753948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: To establish and validate a nomogram integrating radiomics signatures from ultrasound and clinical factors to discriminate between benign, borderline, and malignant serous ovarian tumors. Materials and methods: In this study, a total of 279 pathology-confirmed serous ovarian tumors collected from 265 patients between March 2013 and December 2016 were used. The training cohort was generated by randomly selecting 70% of each of the three types (benign, borderline, and malignant) of tumors, while the remaining 30% was included in the validation cohort. From the transabdominal ultrasound scanning of ovarian tumors, the radiomics features were extracted, and a score was calculated. The ability of radiomics to differentiate between the grades of ovarian tumors was tested by comparing benign vs borderline and malignant (task 1) and borderline vs malignant (task 2). These results were compared with the diagnostic performance and subjective assessment by junior and senior sonographers. Finally, a clinical-feature alone model and a combined clinical-radiomics (CCR) model were built using predictive nomograms for the two tasks. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were performed to evaluate the model performance. Results: The US-based radiomics models performed satisfactorily in both the tasks, showing especially higher accuracy in the second task by successfully discriminating borderline and malignant ovarian serous tumors compared to the evaluations by senior sonographers (AUC = 0.789 for seniors and 0.877 for radiomics models in task one; AUC = 0.612 for senior and 0.839 for radiomics model in task 2). We showed that the CCR model, comprising CA125 level, lesion location, ascites, and radiomics signatures, performed the best (AUC = 0.937, 95%CI 0.905-0.969 in task 1, AUC = 0.924, 95%CI 0.876-0.971 in task 2) in the training as well as in the validation cohorts (AUC = 0.914, 95%CI 0.851-0.976 in task 1, AUC = 0.890, 95%CI 0.794-0.987 in task 2). The calibration curve and DCA analysis of the CCR model more accurately predicted the classification of the tumors than the clinical features alone. Conclusion: This study integrates novel radiomics signatures from ultrasound and clinical factors to create a nomogram to provide preoperative diagnostic information for differentiating between benign, borderline, and malignant ovarian serous tumors, thereby reducing unnecessary and risky biopsies and surgeries.
