Abstract
In the field of computational oncology, patient status is often assessed using radiology-genomics, which includes two key technologies and data, such as radiology and genomics. Recent advances in deep learning have facilitated the integration of radiology-genomics data, and even new omics data, significantly improving the robustness and accuracy of clinical predictions. These factors are driving artificial intelligence (AI) closer to practical clinical applications. In particular, deep learning models are crucial in identifying new radiology-genomics biomarkers and therapeutic targets, supported by explainable AI (xAI) methods. This review focuses on recent developments in deep learning for radiology-genomics integration, highlights current challenges, and outlines some research directions for multimodal integration and biomarker discovery of radiology-genomics or radiology-omics that are urgently needed in computational oncology.

Abstract
Background Noninvasively detecting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma patients before targeted therapy remains a challenge. This study aimed to develop a 3-dimensional (3D) convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning model to predict EGFR mutation status using computed tomography (CT) images. Methods We retrospectively collected 660 patients from 2 large medical centers. The patients were divided into training (n=528) and external test (n=132) sets according to hospital source. The CNN model was trained in a supervised end-to-end manner, and its performance was evaluated using an external test set. To compare the performance of the CNN model, we constructed 1 clinical and 3 radiomics models. Furthermore, we constructed a comprehensive model combining the highest-performing radiomics and CNN models. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used as primary measures of performance for each model. Delong test was used to compare performance differences between different models. Results Compared with the clinical [training set, area under the curve (AUC) =69.6%, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.661-0.732; test set, AUC =68.4%, 95% CI, 0.609-0.752] and the highest-performing radiomics models (training set, AUC =84.3%, 95% CI, 0.812-0.873; test set, AUC =72.4%, 95% CI, 0.653-0.794) models, the CNN model (training set, AUC =94.3%, 95% CI, 0.920-0.961; test set, AUC =94.7%, 95% CI, 0.894-0.978) had significantly better predictive performance for predicting EGFR mutation status. In addition, compared with the comprehensive model (training set, AUC =95.7%, 95% CI, 0.942-0.971; test set, AUC =87.4%, 95% CI, 0.820-0.924), the CNN model had better stability. Conclusions The CNN model has excellent performance in non-invasively predicting EGFR mutation status in patients with lung adenocarcinoma and is expected to become an auxiliary tool for clinicians.

Abstract
Develop a radiomics nomogram that integrates deep learning, radiomics, and clinical variables to predict epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We retrospectively included 438 patients who underwent curative surgery and completed driver-gene mutation tests for stage I NSCLC from four academic medical centers. Predictive models were established by extracting and analyzing radiomic features in intratumoral, peritumoral, and habitat regions of CT images to identify EGFR mutation status in stage I NSCLC. Additionally, three deep learning models based on the intratumoral region were constructed. A nomogram was developed by integrating representative radiomic signatures, deep learning, and clinical features. Model performance was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The established habitat radiomics features demonstrated encouraging performance in discriminating between EGFR mutant and wild-type, with predictive ability superior to other single models (AUC 0.886, 0.812, and 0.790 for the training, validation, and external test sets, respectively). The radiomics-based nomogram exhibited excellent performance, achieving the highest AUC values of 0.917, 0.837, and 0.809 in the training, validation, and external test sets, respectively. Decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated that the nomogram provided a higher net benefit than other radiomics models, offering valuable information for treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiogenomics is an emerging technology that integrates genomics and medical image-based radiomics, which is considered a promising approach toward achieving precision medicine. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze the research status, dynamic trends, and evolutionary trajectory in the radiogenomics field using bibliometric methods. METHODS The relevant literature published up to 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Excel was used to analyze the annual publication trend. VOSviewer was used for constructing the keywords co-occurrence network and the collaboration networks among countries and institutions. CiteSpace was used for citation keywords burst analysis and visualizing the references timeline. RESULTS A total of 3237 papers were included and exported in plain-text format. The annual number of publications showed an increasing annual trend. China and the United States have published the most papers in this field, with the highest number of citations in the United States and the highest average number per item in the Netherlands. Keywords burst analysis revealed that several keywords, including "big data," "magnetic resonance spectroscopy," "renal cell carcinoma," "stage," and "temozolomide," experienced a citation burst in recent years. The timeline views demonstrated that the references can be categorized into 8 clusters: lower-grade glioma, lung cancer histology, lung adenocarcinoma, breast cancer, radiation-induced lung injury, epidermal growth factor receptor mutation, late radiotherapy toxicity, and artificial intelligence. CONCLUSIONS The field of radiogenomics is attracting increasing attention from researchers worldwide, with the United States and the Netherlands being the most influential countries. Exploration of artificial intelligence methods based on big data to predict the response of tumors to various treatment methods represents a hot spot research topic in this field at present.

Predicting MET exon 14 skipping mutation in pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma by whole-tumour texture analysis combined with clinical and conventional contrast-enhanced computed tomography features. Transl Lung Cancer Res 2024; 13:1232-1246. [PMID: 38973946 PMCID: PMC11225047 DOI: 10.21037/tlcr-24-56] [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: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
Background Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare, highly malignant type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a poor prognosis. Targeted drugs for MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping mutation can have considerable clinical benefits. This study aimed to predict METex14 skipping mutation in PSC patients by whole-tumour texture analysis combined with clinical and conventional contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) features. Methods This retrospective study included 56 patients with PSC diagnosed by pathology. All patients underwent CECT before surgery or other treatment, and both targeted DNA- and RNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used to detect METex14 skipping mutation status. The patients were divided into two groups: METex14 skipping mutation and nonmutation groups. Overall, 1,316 texture features of the whole tumour were extracted. We also collected 12 clinical and 20 conventional CECT features. After dimensionality reduction and selection, predictive models were established by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Models were evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), and the clinical utility of the model was assessed by decision curve analysis. Results METex14 skipping mutation was detected in 17.9% of PSCs. Mutations were found more frequently in those (I) who had smaller long- or short-axis diameters (P=0.02, P=0.01); (II) who had lower T stages (I, II) (P=0.02); and (III) with pseudocapsular or annular enhancement (P=0.03). The combined model based on the conventional and texture models yielded the best performance in predicting METex14 skipping mutation with the highest AUC (0.89). The conventional and texture models also had good performance (AUC =0.83 conventional; =0.88 texture). Conclusions Whole-tumour texture analysis combined with clinical and conventional CECT features may serve as a noninvasive tool to predict the METex14 skipping mutation status in PSC.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to non-invasively predict epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in patients with lung adenocarcinoma using multi-phase computed tomography (CT) radiomics features. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 424 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were recruited from two hospitals who underwent preoperative non-enhanced CT (NE-CT) and enhanced CT (including arterial phase CT [AP-CT], and venous phase CT [VP-CT]). Patients were divided into training (n = 297) and external validation (n = 127) cohorts according to hospital. Radiomics features were extracted from the NE-CT, AP-CT, and VP-CT images, respectively. The Wilcoxon test, correlation analysis, and simulated annealing were used for feature screening. A clinical model and eight radiomics models were established. Furthermore, a clinical-radiomics model was constructed by incorporating multi-phase CT features and clinical risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the models. RESULTS The predictive performance of multi-phase CT radiomics model (AUC of 0.925 [95% CI, 0.879-0.971] in the validation cohort) was higher than that of NE-CT, AP-CT, VP-CT, and clinical models (AUCs of 0.860 [95% CI,0.794-0.927], 0.792 [95% CI, 0.713-0.871], 0.753 [95% CI, 0.669-0.838], and 0.706 [95% CI, 0.620-0.791] in the validation cohort, respectively) (all P < 0.05). The predictive performance of the clinical-radiomics model (AUC of 0.927 [95% CI, 0.882-0.971] in the validation cohort) was comparable to that of multi-phase CT radiomics model (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Our multi-phase CT radiomics model showed good performance in identifying the EGFR mutation status in patients with lung adenocarcinoma, which may assist personalized treatment decisions.

Abstract
Noninvasively and accurately predicting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status is a clinically vital problem. Moreover, further identifying the most suspicious area related to the EGFR mutation status can guide the biopsy to avoid false negatives. Deep learning methods based on computed tomography (CT) images may improve the noninvasive prediction of EGFR mutation status and potentially help clinicians guide biopsies by visual methods. Inspired by the potential inherent links between EGFR mutation status and invasiveness information, we hypothesized that the predictive performance of a deep learning network can be improved through extra utilization of the invasiveness information. Here, we created a novel explainable transformer network for EGFR classification named gated multiple instance learning transformer (GMILT) by integrating multi-instance learning and discriminative weakly supervised feature learning. Pathological invasiveness information was first introduced into the multitask model as embeddings. GMILT was trained and validated on a total of 512 patients with adenocarcinoma and tested on three datasets (the internal test dataset, the external test dataset, and The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) public dataset). The performance (area under the curve (AUC) =0.772 on the internal test dataset) of GMILT exceeded that of previously published methods and radiomics-based methods (i.e., random forest and support vector machine) and attained a preferable generalization ability (AUC =0.856 in the TCIA test dataset and AUC =0.756 in the external dataset). A diameter-based subgroup analysis further verified the efficiency of our model (most of the AUCs exceeded 0.772) to noninvasively predict EGFR mutation status from computed tomography (CT) images. In addition, because our method also identified the "core area" of the most suspicious area related to the EGFR mutation status, it has the potential ability to guide biopsies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Magnetic resonance (MR)-based radiomics features of brain metastases are utilised to predict epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression in adenocarcinoma, with the aim to identify the most predictive MR sequence. METHODS A retrospective inclusion of 268 individuals with brain metastases from adenocarcinoma across two institutions was conducted. Utilising T1-weighted imaging (T1 contrast-enhanced [T1-CE]) and T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2-FLAIR) sequences, 1,409 radiomics features were extracted. These sequences were randomly divided into training and test sets at a 7:3 ratio. The selection of relevant features was done using the least absolute shrinkage selection operator, and the training cohort's support vector classifier model was employed to generate the predictive model. The performance of the radiomics features was evaluated using a separate test set. RESULTS For contrast-enhanced T1-CE cohorts, the radiomics features based on 19 selected characteristics exhibited excellent discrimination. No significant differences in age, sex, and time to metastasis were observed between the groups with EGFR mutations or HER2 + and those with wild-type EGFR or HER2 (p > 0.05). Radiomics feature analysis for T1-CE revealed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.98, classification accuracy of 0.93, sensitivity of 0.92, and specificity of 0.93 in the training cohort. In the test set, the AUC was 0.82. The 19 radiomics features for the T2-FLAIR sequence showed AUCs of 0.86 in the training set and 0.70 in the test set. CONCLUSIONS This study developed a T1-CE signature that could serve as a non-invasive adjunctive tool to determine the presence of EGFR mutations and HER2 + status in adenocarcinoma, aiding in the direction of treatment plans. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT We propose radiomics features based on T1-CE brain MR sequences that are both evidence-based and non-invasive. These can be employed to guide clinical treatment planning in patients with brain metastases from adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Estrogen deficiency in the early postmenopausal phase is associated with an increased long-term risk of cognitive decline or dementia. Non-invasive characterization of the pathological features of the pathological hallmarks in the brain associated with postmenopausal women (PMW) could enhance patient management and the development of therapeutic strategies. Radiomics is a means to quantify the radiographic phenotype of a diseased tissue via the high-throughput extraction and mining of quantitative features from images acquired from modalities such as CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study set out to explore the correlation between radiomics features based on MRI and pathological features of the hippocampus and cognitive function in the PMW mouse model. Ovariectomized (OVX) mice were used as PWM models. MRI scans were performed two months after surgery. The brain's hippocampal region was manually annotated, and the radiomic features were extracted with PyRadiomics. Chemiluminescence was used to evaluate the peripheral blood estrogen level of mice, and the Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the cognitive ability of mice. Nissl staining and immunofluorescence were used to quantify neuronal damage and COX1 expression in brain sections of mice. The OVX mice exhibited marked cognitive decline, brain neuronal damage, and increased expression of mitochondrial complex IV subunit COX1, which are pathological phenomena commonly observed in the brains of AD patients, and these phenotypes were significantly correlated with radiomics features (p < 0.05, |r|>0.5), including Original_firstorder_Interquartile Range, Original_glcm_Difference Average, Original_glcm_Difference Average and Wavelet-LHH_glszm_Small Area Emphasis. Meanwhile, the above radiomics features were significantly different between the sham-operated and OVX groups (p < 0.01) and were associated with decreased serum estrogen levels (p < 0.05, |r|>0.5). This initial study indicates that the above radiomics features may have a role in the assessment of the pathology of brain damage caused by estrogen deficiency using routinely acquired structural MR images.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate radiomics based on primary nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and distant metastases to predict epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status. METHODS A total of 290 patients (mean age, 58.21 ± 9.28) diagnosed with brain (BM, n = 150) or spinal bone metastasis (SM, n = 140) from primary NSCLC were enrolled as a primary cohort. An external validation cohort, consisting of 69 patients (mean age, 59.87 ± 7.23; BM, n = 36; SM, n = 33), was enrolled from another center. Thoracic computed tomography-based features were extracted from the primary tumor and peritumoral area and selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to build a radiomic signature (RS-primary). Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging-based features were calculated and selected from the BM and SM to build RS-BM and RS-SM, respectively. The RS-BM-Com and RS-SM-Com were developed by integrating the most important features from the primary tumor, BM, and SM. RESULTS Six computed tomography-based features showed high association with EGFR mutation status: 3 from intratumoral and 3 from peritumoral areas. By combination of features from primary tumor and metastases, the developed RS-BM-Com and RS-SM-Com performed well with areas under curve in the training (RS-BM-Com vs RS-BM, 0.936 vs 0.885, P = 0.177; RS-SM-Com vs RS-SM, 0.929 vs 0.843, P = 0.003), internal validation (RS-BM-Com vs RS-BM, 0.920 vs 0.858, P = 0.492; RS-SM-Com vs RS-SM, 0.896 vs 0.859, P = 0.379), and external validation (RS-BM-Com vs RS-BM, 0.882 vs 0.805, P = 0.263; RS-SM-Com vs RS-SM, 0.865 vs 0.816, P = 0.312) cohorts. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that the accuracy of detecting EGFR mutations significantly enhanced in the presence of metastases in primary NSCLC. The established radiomic signatures from this approach may be useful as new predictors for patients with distant metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-dose CT screening can reduce lung cancer-related mortality. However, most screen-detected pulmonary abnormalities do not develop into cancer and it often remains challenging to identify malignant nodules, particularly among indeterminate nodules. We aimed to develop and assess prediction models based on radiological features to discriminate between benign and malignant pulmonary lesions detected on a baseline screen. METHODS Using four international lung cancer screening studies, we extracted 2060 radiomic features for each of 16 797 nodules (513 malignant) among 6865 participants. After filtering out low-quality radiomic features, 642 radiomic and 9 epidemiological features remained for model development. We used cross-validation and grid search to assess three machine learning (ML) models (eXtreme Gradient Boosted Trees, random forest, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)) for their ability to accurately predict risk of malignancy for pulmonary nodules. We report model performance based on the area under the curve (AUC) and calibration metrics in the held-out test set. RESULTS The LASSO model yielded the best predictive performance in cross-validation and was fit in the full training set based on optimised hyperparameters. Our radiomics model had a test-set AUC of 0.93 (95% CI 0.90 to 0.96) and outperformed the established Pan-Canadian Early Detection of Lung Cancer model (AUC 0.87, 95% CI 0.85 to 0.89) for nodule assessment. Our model performed well among both solid (AUC 0.93, 95% CI 0.89 to 0.97) and subsolid nodules (AUC 0.91, 95% CI 0.85 to 0.95). CONCLUSIONS We developed highly accurate ML models based on radiomic and epidemiological features from four international lung cancer screening studies that may be suitable for assessing indeterminate screen-detected pulmonary nodules for risk of malignancy.

Abstract
Approximately 50% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients would develop metastasis with poor prognosis, therefore, it is necessary to effectively predict metastasis in clinical treatment. In this study, we aimed to establish a machine-learning model for predicting metastasis in CRC patients by considering radiomics and transcriptomics simultaneously. Here, 1023 patients with CRC from three centers were collected and divided into five queues (Dazhou Central Hospital n = 517, Nanchong Central Hospital n = 120 and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) n = 386). A total of 854 radiomics features were extracted from tumor lesions on CT images, and 217 differentially expressed genes were obtained from non-metastasis and metastasis tumor tissues using RNA sequencing. Based on radiotranscriptomic (RT) analysis, a novel RT model was developed and verified through genetic algorithms (GA). Interleukin (IL)-26, a biomarker in RT model, was verified for its biological function in CRC metastasis. Furthermore, 15 radiomics variables were screened through stepwise regression, which was highly correlated with the IL26 expression level. Finally, a radiomics model (RA) was established by combining GA and stepwise regression analysis with radiomics features. The RA model exhibited favorable discriminatory ability and accuracy for metastasis prediction in two independent verification cohorts. We designed multicenter, multi-scale cohorts to construct and verify novel combined radiomics and genomics models for predicting metastasis in CRC. Overall, RT model and RA model might help clinicians in directing personalized diagnosis and therapeutic regimen selection for patients with CRC.

Abstract
Global incidence rate of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease has been increasing rapidly. In some countries and regions, its incidence rate is higher than that of tuberculosis. It is easily confused with tuberculosis. The topic of this study is to identify two diseases using CT radioomics. The aim in the present study was to investigate the value of CT-based radiomics to analyze consolidation features in differentiation of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). A total of 156 patients (75 with NTM pulmonary disease and 81 with TB) exhibiting consolidation characteristics in Shandong Public Health Clinical Center were retrospectively analyzed. Subsequently, 305 regions of interest of CT consolidation were outlined. Using a random number generated via a computer, 70 and 30% of consolidations were allocated to the training and the validation cohort, respectively. By means of variance threshold, when investigating the effective radiomics features, SelectKBest and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression method were employed for feature selection and combined to calculate the radiomics score. K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) and logistic regression (LR) were used to analyze effective radiomics features. A total of 18 patients with NTM pulmonary disease and 18 with TB possessing consolidation characteristics in Jinan Infectious Disease Hospital were collected for external validation of the model. A total of three methods was used in the selection of 52 optimal features. For KNN, the area under the curve (AUC; sensitivity, specificity) for the training and validation cohorts were 0.98 (0.93, 0.94) and 0.90 (0.88, 083), respectively; for SVM, AUC was 0.99 (0.96, 0.96) and 0.92 (0.86, 0.85) and for LR, AUC was 0.99 (0.97, 0.97) and 0.89 (0.88, 0.85). In the external validation cohort, AUC values of models were all >0.84 and LR classifier exhibited the most significant precision, recall and F1 score (0.87, 0.94 and 0.88, respectively). LR classifier possessed the best performance in differentiating diseases. Therefore, CT-based radiomics analysis of consolidation features may distinguish NTM pulmonary disease from TB.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the added value of radiomics models from preoperative chest CT in predicting the presence of spread through air spaces (STAS) in the early stage of surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas using multiple validation datasets. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 550 early-stage surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas in 521 patients, classified into training, test, internal validation, and temporal validation sets (n=211, 90, 91, and 158, respectively). Radiomics features were extracted from the segmented tumors on preoperative chest CT, and a radiomics score (Rad-score) was calculated to predict the presence of STAS. Diagnostic performance of the conventional model and the combined model, based on a combination of conventional and radiomics features, for the diagnosis of the presence of STAS were compared using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Rad-score was significantly higher in the STAS-positive group compared to the STAS-negative group in the training, test, internal, and temporal validation sets. The performance of the combined model was significantly higher than that of the conventional model in the training set {AUC: 0.784 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.722-0.846] vs. AUC: 0.815 (95% CI: 0.759-0.872), p=0.042}. In the temporal validation set, the combined model showed a significantly higher AUC than that of the conventional model (p=0.001). The combined model showed a higher AUC than the conventional model in the test and internal validation sets, albeit with no statistical significance. CONCLUSION A quantitative CT radiomics model can assist in the non-invasive prediction of the presence of STAS in the early stage of lung adenocarcinomas.

Abstract
AIM To investigate whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics features of brain metastases (BMs) can predict epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between June 2014 and December 2022, 58 histopathologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma patients (27 with EGFR wild-type, 31 with EGFR mutation) who underwent gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced brain MRI were recruited retrospectively. A total of 123 metastatic brain lesions were allocated randomly into the training cohort (n=86) and test cohort (n=37) at a ratio of 7:3. Radiomics models based on multi-sequence MRI images in different regions such as volume of interest (VOI)enhancing tumour, VOIwholetumour, VOIperitumour 1mm, VOIperitumour 3mm, and VOIperitumour 5mm were built. The optimal radiomics model was integrated into the clinical or radiological indicators to construct a fusion model through multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The optimal radiomics model based on the VOIperitumour 1mm, a combination of nine features selected from the fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence, yielded areas under the curves (AUCs) of >0.75 in the training and test cohorts. The prediction of the fusion model with integration of clinical factors (age) and radiomics score (the optimal radiomics model) was not better than that of the optimal radiomics model alone in the test cohort (AUC: 0.808 and 0.785, respectively, p=0.525). CONCLUSION The FLAIR radiomics model based on VOIperitumour 1mm as an effective biomarker helps predict EGFR mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma patients with BMs and then assists clinicians in selecting optimal treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative prediction of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with liver metastasis (LM) may have potential clinical values for assisting in treatment decision-making. PURPOSE To explore the value of tumor-liver interface (TLI)-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics for detecting the EGFR mutation in NSCLC patients with LM. METHODS This retrospective study included 123 and 44 patients from hospital 1 (between Feb. 2018 and Dec. 2021) and hospital 2 (between Nov. 2015 and Aug. 2022), respectively. The patients received contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CET1) and T2-weighted (T2W) liver MRI scans before treatment. Radiomics features were extracted from MRI images of TLI and the whole tumor region, separately. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to screen the features and establish radiomics signatures (RSs) based on TLI (RS-TLI) and the whole tumor (RS-W). The RSs were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS A total of 5 and 6 features were identified highly correlated with the EGFR mutation status from TLI and the whole tumor, respectively. The RS-TLI showed better prediction performance than RS-W in the training (AUCs, RS-TLI vs. RS-W, 0.842 vs. 0.797), internal validation (AUCs, RS-TLI vs. RS-W, 0.771 vs. 0.676) and external validation (AUCs, RS-TLI vs. RS-W, 0.733 vs. 0.679) cohort. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that TLI-based radiomics can improve prediction performance of the EGFR mutation in lung cancer patients with LM. The established multi-parametric MRI radiomics models may be used as new markers that can potentially assist in personalized treatment planning.

Nguyen HS, Ho DKN, Nguyen NN, Tran HM, Tam KW, Le NQK. Predicting EGFR Mutation Status in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using Artificial Intelligence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Acad Radiol 2024; 31:660-683. [PMID: 37120403 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.03.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) render a substantial promise for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status prediction in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to evaluate the performance and quality of AI algorithms that use radiomics features in predicting EGFR mutation status in patient with NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed (Medline), EMBASE, Web of Science, and IEEExplore for studies published up to February 28, 2022. Studies utilizing an AI algorithm (either conventional machine learning [cML] and deep learning [DL]) for predicting EGFR mutations in patients with NSLCL were included. We extracted binary diagnostic accuracy data and constructed a bivariate random-effects model to obtain pooled sensitivity, specificity, and 95% confidence interval. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42021278738. RESULTS Our search identified 460 studies, of which 42 were included. Thirty-five studies were included in the meta-analysis. The AI algorithms exhibited an overall area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.789 and pooled sensitivity and specificity levels of 72.2% and 73.3%, respectively. The DL algorithms outperformed cML in terms of AUC (0.822 vs. 0.775) and sensitivity (80.1% vs. 71.1%), but had lower specificity (70.0% vs. 73.8%, p-value < 0.001) compared to cML. Subgroup analysis revealed that the use of positron-emission tomography/computed tomography, additional clinical information, deep feature extraction, and manual segmentation can improve diagnostic performance. CONCLUSION DL algorithms can serve as a novel method for increasing predictive accuracy and thus have considerable potential for use in predicting EGFR mutation status in patient with NSCLC. We also suggest that guidelines on using AI algorithms in medical image analysis should be developed with a focus on oncologic radiomics.

Abstract
Objectives Patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) can benefit from individualized targeted therapy. This study aims to develop, compare, analyse prediction models based on dual-energy spectral computed tomography (DESCT) and CT-based radiomic features to non-invasively predict EGFR mutation status in LUAD. Materials and methods Patients with LUAD (n = 175), including 111 patients with and 64 patients without EGFR mutations, were enrolled in the current study. All patients were randomly divided into a training dataset (122 cases) and validation dataset (53 cases) at a ratio of 7:3. After extracting CT-based radiomic, DESCT and clinical features, we built seven prediction models and a nomogram of the best prediction. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the mean area under the curve (AUC) values were used for comparisons among the models to obtain the best prediction model for predicting EGFR mutations. Results The best distinguishing ability is the combined model incorporating radiomic, DESCT and clinical features for predicting the EGFR mutation status with an AUC of 0.86 (95 % CI: 0.79-0.92) in the training group and an AUC value of 0.83 (95 % CI: 0.73, 0.96) in the validation group. Conclusions Our study provides a predictive nomogram non-invasively with a combination of CT-based radiomic, DESCT and clinical features, which can provide image-based biological information for targeted therapy of LUAD with EGFR mutations.

Hybrid deep multi-task learning radiomics approach for predicting EGFR mutation status of non-small cell lung cancer in CT images. Phys Med Biol 2023; 68:245021. [PMID: 37972417 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6560/ad0d43] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Objective.Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation genotyping plays a pivotal role in targeted therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to develop a computed tomography (CT) image-based hybrid deep radiomics model to predict EGFR mutation status in NSCLC and investigate the correlations between deep image and quantitative radiomics features.Approach.First, we retrospectively enrolled 818 patients from our centre and 131 patients from The Cancer Imaging Archive database to establish a training cohort (N= 654), an independent internal validation cohort (N= 164) and an external validation cohort (N= 131). Second, to predict EGFR mutation status, we developed three CT image-based models, namely, a multi-task deep neural network (DNN), a radiomics model and a feature fusion model. Third, we proposed a hybrid loss function to train the DNN model. Finally, to evaluate the model performance, we computed the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) and decision curve analysis curves of the models.Main results.For the two validation cohorts, the feature fusion model achieved AUC values of 0.86 ± 0.03 and 0.80 ± 0.05, which were significantly higher than those of the single-task DNN and radiomics models (allP< 0.05). There was no significant difference between the feature fusion and the multi-task DNN models (P> 0.8). The binary prediction scores showed excellent prognostic value in predicting disease-free survival (P= 0.02) and overall survival (P< 0.005) for validation cohort 2.Significance.The results demonstrate that (1) the feature fusion and multi-task DNN models achieve significantly higher performance than that of the conventional radiomics and single-task DNN models, (2) the feature fusion model can decode the imaging phenotypes representing NSCLC heterogeneity related to both EGFR mutation and patient NSCLC prognosis, and (3) high correlations exist between some deep image and radiomics features.

Clin Radiol 2023; 78:e993-e1000. [PMID: 37726191 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2023.08.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the feasibility of intranodular and perinodular computed tomography (CT) radiomics features for predicting the occurrence of pulmonary haemorrhage after percutaneous CT-guided transthoracic lung biopsy (PCTLB) in pulmonary nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data for 332 patients with pulmonary nodules who underwent PCTLB were reviewed retrospectively. Pulmonary haemorrhage after PCTLB was evaluated using CT (144 cases occurred). Radiomics features based on gross nodular (GNV) and perinodular volumes (PNV) were extracted from pre-biopsy CT images and features selection using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, and three radiomics scores (rad-scores) were built. Rad-scores, clinical, and clinical-radiomic models were developed and evaluated to predict the occurrence of pulmonary haemorrhage. RESULTS Five, five, and six significant features were selected for prediction of pulmonary haemorrhage based on GNV, PNV, and GNV + PNV, respectively. Lesion depth was the only clinical characteristics related to pulmonary haemorrhage. Lesion depth and rad-score based on GNV, PNV, and GNV + PNV for predicting the pulmonary haemorrhage achieved areas under the curves (AUCs) of 0.656, 0.645, 0.651, and 0.635 in the validation group, respectively. Three clinical-radiomic models improved the AUCs to 0.743, 0.723, and 0.748. The performance of rad-score_GNV + PNV combined with lesion depth outperformed the clinical model (p=0.024) and the radiomics signature (p=0.038). In addition, the radiomics signatures were significantly associated with higher-grade pulmonary haemorrhage (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Radiomics features from intranodular and perinodular regions of pulmonary nodules have good predictive ability for pulmonary haemorrhage after PCTLB, which may provide additional predictive value for clinical practice.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 which enters the body via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and altering its gene expression. Altered ACE2 plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Gene expression profiling, however, is invasive and costly, and is not routinely performed. In contrast, medical imaging such as computed tomography (CT) captures imaging features that depict abnormalities, and it is widely available. Computerized quantification of image features has enabled 'radiogenomics', a research discipline that identifies image features that are associated with molecular characteristics. Radiogenomics between ACE2 and COVID-19 has yet to be done primarily due to the lack of ACE2 expression data among COVID-19 patients. Similar to COVID-19, patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) exhibit altered ACE2 expression and, LUAD data are abundant. We present a radiogenomics framework to derive image features (ACE2-RGF) associated with ACE2 expression data from LUAD. The ACE2-RGF was then used as a surrogate biomarker for ACE2 expression. We adopted conventional feature selection techniques including ElasticNet and LASSO. Our results show that: i) the ACE2-RGF encoded a distinct collection of image features when compared to conventional techniques, ii) the ACE2-RGF can classify COVID-19 from normal subjects with a comparable performance to conventional feature selection techniques with an AUC of 0.92, iii) ACE2-RGF can effectively identify patients with critical illness with an AUC of 0.85. These findings provide unique insights for automated COVID-19 analysis and future research.

Combined radiomics of primary tumour and bone metastasis improve the prediction of EGFR mutation status and response to EGFR-TKI therapy for NSCLC. Phys Med 2023; 116:103177.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop radiomics models of primary tumour and spinal metastases to predict epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and therapeutic response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS We enrolled 203 patients with spinal metastases between December 2017 and September 2021, classified as patients with the EGFR mutation or EGFR wild-type. All patients underwent thoracic CT and spinal MRI scans before any treatment. Radiomics analysis was performed to extract features from primary tumour and metastases images and identify predictive features with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator. Radiomics signatures (RS) were constructed based on primary tumour (RS-Pri), metastases (RS-Met), and in combination (RS-Com) to predict EGFR mutation status and response to EGFR-TKI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis with 10-fold cross-validation was applied to assess the performance of the models. RESULTS To predict the EGFR mutation status, the RS based on the combination of primary tumour and metastases improved the prediction AUCs compared to those based on the primary tumour or metastasis alone in the training (RS-Com-EGFR: 0.927) and validation (RS-Com-EGFR: 0.812) cohorts. To predict response to EGFR-TKI, the developed RS based on combined primary tumour and metastasis generated the highest AUCs in the training (RS-Com-TKI: 0.880) and validation (RS-Com-TKI: 0.798) cohort. CONCLUSIONS Primary NSCLC and spinal metastases can provide complementary information to predict the EGFR mutation status and response to EGFR-TKI. The developed models that integrate primary lesions and metastases may be potential imaging markers to guide individual treatment decisions.

Abstract
AIM To develop a model using radiomics features extracted from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) to predict the BRAF mutation in patients with melanoma brain metastases (MBM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 220 tumours were classified into two groups. One was a group whose BRAF mutation was identified, and the other group whose BRAF mutation was not identified. We extracted 1,962 radiomics features from gadolinium contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI treatment-planning images. Synthetic Minority Over-sampling TEchnique (SMOTE) was performed to address the unbalanced data-related issues. A single-layer neural network (NN) was used to build predictive models with radiomics features. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and the area under the curve (AUC) were evaluated to assess the model performance. RESULTS The prediction performance for the final evaluation without the SMOTE had an accuracy of 77.14%, a specificity of 82.44%, a sensitivity of 81.85%, and an AUC of 0.79. The application of SMOTE improved the prediction model to an accuracy of 83.1%, a specificity of 87.07%, a sensitivity of 78.82%, and an AUC of 0.82. CONCLUSION The current study showed the feasibility of generating a highly accurate NN model for the BRAF mutation prediction. The prediction performance improved with SMOTE. The model assists physicians to obtain more accurate expectations of the treatment outcome without a genetic test.

Abstract
Personalized medicine has revolutionized approaches to treatment in the field of lung cancer by enabling therapies to be specific to each patient. However, physicians encounter an immense number of challenges in providing the optimal treatment regimen for the individual given the sheer complexity of clinical aspects such as tumor molecular profile, tumor microenvironment, expected adverse events, acquired or inherent resistance mechanisms, the development of brain metastases, the limited availability of biomarkers and the choice of combination therapy. The integration of innovative next-generation technologies such as deep learning-a subset of machine learning-and radiomics has the potential to transform the field by supporting clinical decision making in cancer treatment and the delivery of precision therapies while integrating numerous clinical considerations. In this review, we present a brief explanation of the available technologies, the benefits of using these technologies in predicting immunotherapy response in lung cancer, and the expected future challenges in the context of precision medicine.

Abstract
Radiomics has become a research field that involves the process of converting standard nursing images into quantitative image data, which can be combined with other data sources and subsequently analyzed using traditional biostatistics or artificial intelligence (Al) methods. Due to the capture of biological and pathophysiological information by radiomics features, these quantitative radiomics features have been proven to provide fast and accurate non-invasive biomarkers for lung cancer risk prediction, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment response monitoring, and tumor biology. In this review, radiomics has been emphasized and discussed in lung cancer research, including advantages, challenges, and drawbacks.

Eur Radiol 2023; 33:7902-7912. [PMID: 37142868 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09709-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop radiomics signatures from multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to detect epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and predict the response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastasis (BM). METHODS We included 230 NSCLC patients with BM treated at our hospital between January 2017 and December 2021 and 80 patients treated at another hospital between July 2014 and October 2021 to form the primary and external validation cohorts, respectively. All patients underwent contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1C) and T2-weighted (T2W) MRI, and radiomics features were extracted from both the tumor active area (TAA) and peritumoral edema area (POA) for each patient. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used to identify the most predictive features. Radiomics signatures (RSs) were constructed using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS For predicting the EGFR mutation status, the created RS-EGFR-TAA and RS-EGFR- POA showed similar performance. By combination of TAA and POA, the multi-region combined RS (RS-EGFR-Com) achieved the highest prediction performance, with AUCs of 0.896, 0.856, and 0.889 in the primary training, internal validation, and external validation cohort, respectively. For predicting response to EGFR-TKI, the multi-region combined RS (RS-TKI-Com) generated the highest AUCs in the primary training (AUC = 0.817), internal validation (AUC = 0.788), and external validation (AUC = 0.808) cohort, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested values of multiregional radiomics of BM for predicting EGFR mutations and response to EGFR-TKI. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The application of radiomic analysis of multiparametric brain MRI has proven to be a promising tool to stratify which patients can benefit from EGFR-TKI therapy and to facilitate the precise therapeutics of NSCLC patients with brain metastases. KEY POINTS • Multiregional radiomics can improve efficacy in predicting therapeutic response to EGFR-TKI therapy in NSCLC patients with brain metastasis. • The tumor active area (TAA) and peritumoral edema area (POA) may hold complementary information related to the therapeutic response to EGFR-TKI. • The developed multi-region combined radiomics signature achieved the best predictive performance and may be considered as a potential tool for predicting response to EGFR-TKI.

Abstract
Early acquired resistance (EAR) to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in lung adenocarcinomas before radiographic advance cannot be perceived by the naked eye. This study aimed to discover and validate a CT radiomic model to precisely identify the EAR. Training cohort (n = 67) and internal test cohort (n = 29) were from the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, and external test cohort (n = 29) was from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College. Follow-up CT images at three different times of each patient were collected: (1) baseline images before EGFR-TKIs therapy; (2) first follow-up images after EGFR-TKIs therapy (FFT); (3) EAR images, which were the last follow-up images before radiographic advance. The features extracted from FFT and EAR were used to construct the classic radiomic model. The delta features which were calculated by subtracting the baseline from either FFT or EAR were used to construct the delta radiomic model. The classic radiomic model achieved AUC 0.682 and 0.641 in training and internal test cohorts, respectively. The delta radiomic model achieved AUC 0.730 and 0.704 in training and internal test cohorts, respectively. Over the external test cohort, the delta radiomic model achieved AUC 0.661. The decision curve analysis showed that when threshold of the probability of the EAR to the EGFR-TKIs was between 0.3 and 0.82, the proposed model was more benefit than treating all patients. Based on two central studies, the delta radiomic model derived from the follow-up non-enhanced CT images can help clinicians to identify the EAR to EGFR-TKIs in lung adenocarcinomas before radiographic advance and optimize clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Non-invasive methods to assess mutational status, as well as novel prognostic biomarkers, are warranted to foster therapy personalization of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study investigated the association of contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) radiomic features of lung adenocarcinoma lesions, alone or integrated with clinical parameters, with tumor mutational status (EGFR, KRAS, ALK alterations) and Overall Survival (OS). In total, 261 retrospective and 48 prospective patients were enrolled. A Radiomic Score (RS) was created with LASSO-Logistic regression models to predict mutational status. Radiomic, clinical and clinical-radiomic models were trained on retrospective data and tested (Area Under the Curve, AUC) on prospective data. OS prediction models were trained and tested on retrospective data with internal cross-validation (C-index). RS significantly predicted each alteration at training (radiomic and clinical-radiomic AUC 0.95-0.98); validation performance was good for EGFR (AUC 0.86), moderate for KRAS and ALK (AUC 0.61-0.65). RS was also associated with OS at univariate and multivariable analysis, in the latter with stage and type of treatment. The validation C-index was 0.63, 0.79, and 0.80 for clinical, radiomic, and clinical-radiomic models. The study supports the potential role of CT radiomics for non-invasive identification of gene alterations and prognosis prediction in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma, to be confirmed with independent studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to develop a radiomic nomogram to predict T790M mutation of lung adenocarcinoma base on non-enhanced CT lung images. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed demographic data and lung CT images of 215 lung adenocarcinoma patients with T790M gene test results. 215 patients (including 52 positive) were divided into a training set (n = 150, 36 positive) and an independent test set (n = 65, 16 positive). Multivariate logistic regression was used to select demographic data and CT semantic features to build clinical model. We extracted quantitative features from the volume of interest (VOI) of the lesion, and developed the radiomic model with different feature selection algorithms and classifiers. The models were trained by a 5-fold cross validation strategy on the training set and assessed on the test set. ROC was used to estimate the performance of the clinical model, radiomic model, and merged nomogram. RESULTS Three demographic features (gender, smoking, emphysema) and ten radiomic features (Kruskal-Wallis as selection algorithm, LASSO Logistic Regression as classifier) were determined to build the models. The AUC of the clinical model, radiomic model, and nomogram in the test set were 0.742(95%CI, 0.619-0.843), 0.810(95%CI, 0.696-0.907), 0.841(95%CI, 0.743-0.938), respectively. The predictive efficacy of the nomogram was better than the clinical model (p = 0.042). The nomogram predicted T790M mutation with cutoff value was 0.69 and the score was above 130. CONCLUSION The nomogram developed in this study is a non-invasive, convenient, and economical method for predicting T790M mutation of lung adenocarcinoma, which has a good prospect for clinical application.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to build a deep learning system using enhanced computed tomography (CT) portal-phase images for predicting colorectal cancer patients' preoperative staging and RAS gene mutation status. METHODS The contrast-enhanced CT image dataset comprises the CT portal-phase images from a retrospective cohort of 231 colorectal cancer patients. The deep learning system was developed via migration learning for colorectal cancer detection, staging, and RAS gene mutation status prediction. This study used pre-trained Yolov7, vision transformer (VIT), swin transformer (SWT), EfficientNetV2, and ConvNeXt. 4620, and contrast-enhanced CT images and annotated tumor bounding boxes were included in the tumor identification and staging dataset. A total of 19,700 contrast-enhanced CT images comprise the RAS gene mutation status prediction dataset. RESULTS In the validation cohort, the Yolov7-based detection model detected and staged tumors with a mean accuracy precision (IoU = 0.5) (mAP_0.5) of 0.98. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) in the test set and validation set for the VIT-based prediction model in predicting the mutation status of the RAS genes was 0.9591 and 0.9554, respectively. The detection network and prediction network of the deep learning system demonstrated great performance in explaining contrast-enhanced CT images. CONCLUSION In this study, a deep learning system was created based on the foundation of contrast-enhanced CT portal-phase imaging to preoperatively predict the stage and RAS mutation status of colorectal cancer patients. This system will help clinicians choose the best treatment option to increase colorectal cancer patients' chances of survival and quality of life.

Abstract
PURPOSE It was reported that individual heterogeneity among malignancies (IHAM) might correlate well to the prognosis of lung cancer; however, seldom radiomic study is on this field. Standard deviation (SD) in statistics could scale average amount of variability of a variable; therefore, we used SD of CT feature (FeatureSD) among primary tumor and malignant lymph nodes (LNs) in an individual to represent IHAM, and its prognostic ability was explored. METHODS The enrolled patients who had accepted PET/CT scans were selected from our previous study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03648151). The patients had primary tumor and at least one LN, and standardized uptake value of LN higher than 2.0 and 2.5 were enrolled as the cohort 1 (n = 94) and 2 (n = 88), respectively. FeatureSD from the combined or thin-section CT were calculated among primary tumor and malignant LNs in each patient, and were separately selected by the survival XGBoost method. Finally, their prognostic ability was compared to the significant patient characteristics identified by the Cox regression. RESULTS In the univariate and multi-variate Cox analysis, surgery, target therapy, and TNM stage were significantly against OS in the both cohorts. In the survival XGBoost analysis of the thin-section CT dataset, none FeatureSD could be repeatably ranked on the top list of the both cohorts. For the combined CT dataset, only one FeatureSD ranked in the top three of both cohorts, but the three significant factors in the Cox regression were not even on the list. Both in the cohort 1 and 2, C-index of the model composed of the three factors could be improved by integrating the continuous FeatureSD; furthermore, that of each factor was obviously lower than FeatureSD. CONCLUSION Standard deviation of CT features among malignant foci within an individual was a powerful prognostic factor in vivo for lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It exhibits, at the mesoscopic scale, phenotypic characteristics that are generally indiscernible to the human eye but can be captured non-invasively on medical imaging as radiomic features, which can form a high dimensional data space amenable to machine learning. Radiomic features can be harnessed and used in an artificial intelligence paradigm to risk stratify patients, and predict for histological and molecular findings, and clinical outcome measures, thereby facilitating precision medicine for improving patient care. Compared to tissue sampling-driven approaches, radiomics-based methods are superior for being non-invasive, reproducible, cheaper, and less susceptible to intra-tumoral heterogeneity. This review focuses on the application of radiomics, combined with artificial intelligence, for delivering precision medicine in lung cancer treatment, with discussion centered on pioneering and groundbreaking works, and future research directions in the area.

Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis and Radiomics Quality Score Assessment of CT Radiomics-Based Models Predicting Tumor EGFR Mutation Status in Patients with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11433. [PMID: 37511192 PMCID: PMC10380456 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241411433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Assessment of the quality and current performance of computed tomography (CT) radiomics-based models in predicting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Two medical literature databases were systematically searched, and articles presenting original studies on CT radiomics-based models for predicting EGFR mutation status were retrieved. Forest plots and related statistical tests were performed to summarize the model performance and inter-study heterogeneity. The methodological quality of the selected studies was assessed via the Radiomics Quality Score (RQS). The performance of the models was evaluated using the area under the curve (ROC AUC). The range of the Risk RQS across the selected articles varied from 11 to 24, indicating a notable heterogeneity in the quality and methodology of the included studies. The average score was 15.25, which accounted for 42.34% of the maximum possible score. The pooled Area Under the Curve (AUC) value was 0.801, indicating the accuracy of CT radiomics-based models in predicting the EGFR mutation status. CT radiomics-based models show promising results as non-invasive alternatives for predicting EGFR mutation status in NSCLC patients. However, the quality of the studies using CT radiomics-based models varies widely, and further harmonization and prospective validation are needed before the generalization of these models.

Abstract
The complex pathobiology of lung cancer, and its spread worldwide, has prompted research studies that combine radiomic and genomic approaches. Indeed, the early identification of genetic alterations and driver mutations affecting the tumor is fundamental for correctly formulating the prognosis and therapeutic response. In this work, we propose a radiogenomic workflow to detect the presence of KRAS and EGFR mutations using radiomic features extracted from computed tomography images of patients affected by lung adenocarcinoma. To this aim, we investigated several feature selection algorithms to identify the most significant and uncorrelated sets of radiomic features and different classification models to reveal the mutational status. Then, we employed the SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) technique to increase the understanding of the contribution given by specific radiomic features to the identification of the investigated mutations. Two cohorts of patients with lung adenocarcinoma were used for the study. The first one, obtained from the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA), consisted of 60 cases (25% EGFR, 23% KRAS); the second one, provided by the Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria 'Ospedali Riuniti' of Foggia, was composed of 55 cases (16% EGFR, 28% KRAS). The best-performing models proposed in our study achieved an AUC of 0.69 and 0.82 on the validation set for predicting the mutational status of EGFR and KRAS, respectively. The Multi-layer Perceptron model emerged as the top-performing model for both oncogenes, in some cases outperforming the state of the art. This study showed that radiomic features can be associated with EGFR and KRAS mutational status in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Prognostic predictors of radical resection of stage I-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer: the role of preoperative CT texture features, conventional imaging features, and clinical features in a retrospectively analyzed. BMC Pulm Med 2023; 23:122. [PMID: 37060067 PMCID: PMC10105471 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-023-02422-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the value of preoperative computed tomography (CT) texture features, routine imaging features, and clinical features in the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after radical resection. METHODS Demographic parameters and clinically features were analyzed in 107 patients with stage I-IIIB NSCLC, while 73 of these patients received CT scanning and radiomic characteristics for prognosis assessment. Texture analysis features include histogram, gray size area matrix and gray co-occurrence matrix features. The clinical risk features were identified using univariate and multivariate logistic analyses. By incorporating the radiomics score (Rad-score) and clinical risk features with multivariate cox regression, a combined nomogram was built. The nomogram performance was assessed by its calibration, clinical usefulness and Harrell's concordance index (C-index). The 5-year OS between the dichotomized subgroups was compared using Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis and the log-rank test. RESULTS Consisting of 4 selected features, the radiomics signature showed a favorable discriminative performance for prognosis, with an AUC of 0.91 (95% CI: 0.84 ~ 0.97). The nomogram, consisting of the radiomics signature, N stage, and tumor size, showed good calibration. The nomogram also exhibited prognostic ability with a C-index of 0.91 (95% CI, 0.86-0.95) for OS. The decision curve analysis indicated that the nomogram was clinically useful. According to the KM survival curves, the low-risk group had higher 5-year survival rate compared to high-risk. CONCLUSION The as developed nomogram, combining with preoperative radiomics evidence, N stage, and tumor size, has potential to preoperatively predict the prognosis of NSCLC with a high accuracy and could assist to treatment for the NSCLC patients in the clinic.

Abstract
To study the classification efficiency of using texture feature machine learning method in distinguishing solid lung adenocarcinoma (SADC) and tuberculous granulomatous nodules (TGN) that appear as solid nodules (SN) in non-enhanced CT images. 200 patients with SADC and TGN who underwent thoracic non-enhanced CT examination from January 2012 to October 2019 were included in the study, 490 texture eigenvalues of 6 categories were extracted from the lesions in the non-enhanced CT images of these patients for machine learning, the classification prediction model is established by using relatively the best classifier selected according to the fitting degree of learning curve in the process of machine learning, and the effectiveness of the model was tested and verified. The logistic regression model of clinical data (including demographic data and CT parameters and CT signs of solitary nodules) was used for comparison. The prediction model of clinical data was established by logistic regression, and the classifier was established by machine learning of radiologic texture features. The area under the curve was 0.82 and 0.65 for the prediction model based on clinical CT and only CT parameters and CT signs, and 0.870 based on Radiomics characteristics. The machine learning prediction model developed by us can improve the differentiation efficiency of SADC and TGN with SN, and provide appropriate support for treatment decisions.

Abstract
Technological advances now make it possible to study a patient from multiple angles with high-dimensional, high-throughput multi-scale biomedical data. In oncology, massive amounts of data are being generated ranging from molecular, histopathology, radiology to clinical records. The introduction of deep learning has significantly advanced the analysis of biomedical data. However, most approaches focus on single data modalities leading to slow progress in methods to integrate complementary data types. Development of effective multimodal fusion approaches is becoming increasingly important as a single modality might not be consistent and sufficient to capture the heterogeneity of complex diseases to tailor medical care and improve personalised medicine. Many initiatives now focus on integrating these disparate modalities to unravel the biological processes involved in multifactorial diseases such as cancer. However, many obstacles remain, including lack of usable data as well as methods for clinical validation and interpretation. Here, we cover these current challenges and reflect on opportunities through deep learning to tackle data sparsity and scarcity, multimodal interpretability, and standardisation of datasets.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the key to targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in lung cancer. Traditional identification of EGFR mutation status requires biopsy and sequence testing, which may not be suitable for certain groups who cannot perform biopsy. In this paper, using easily accessible and non-invasive CT images, the residual neural network (ResNet) with mixed loss based on batch training technique is proposed for identification of EGFR mutation status in lung cancer. In this model, the ResNet is regarded as the baseline for feature extraction to avoid the gradient disappearance. Besides, a new mixed loss based on the batch similarity and the cross entropy is proposed to guide the network to better learn the model parameters. The proposed mixed loss utilizes the similarity among batch samples to evaluate the distribution of training data, which can reduce the similarity of different classes and the difference of the same classes. In the experiments, VGG16Net, DenseNet, ResNet18, ResNet34 and ResNet50 models with the mixed loss are trained on the public CT dataset with 155 patients including EGFR mutation status from TCIA. The trained networks are employed to the collected preoperative CT dataset with 56 patients from the cooperative hospital for validating the efficiency of the proposed models. Experimental results show that the proposed models are more appropriate and effective on the lung cancer dataset for identifying the EGFR mutation status. In these models, the ResNet34 with mixed loss is optimal (accuracy = 81.58%, AUC = 0.8861, sensitivity = 80.02%, specificity = 82.90%).

Abstract
Background Predicting the mutation status of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene based on an integrated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) image of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a noninvasive, low-cost method which is valuable for targeted therapy. Although deep learning has been very successful in robotic vision, it is still challenging to predict gene mutations in PET/CT-derived studies because of the small amount of medical data and the different parameters of PET/CT devices. Methods We used the advanced EfficientNet-V2 model to predict the EGFR mutation based on fused PET/CT images. First, we extracted 3-dimensional (3D) pulmonary nodules from PET and CT as regions of interest (ROIs). We then fused each single PET and CT image. The network model was used to predict the mutation status of lung nodules by the new data after fusion, and the model was weighted adaptively. The EfficientNet-V2 model used multiple channels to represent nodules comprehensively. Results We trained the EfficientNet-V2 model through our PET/CT fusion algorithm using a dataset of 150 patients. The prediction accuracy of EGFR and non-EGFR mutations was 86.25% in the training dataset, and the accuracy rate was 81.92% in the validation set. Conclusions Combined with experiments, the demonstrated PET/CT fusion algorithm outperformed radiomics methods in predicting EGFR and non-EGFR mutations in NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Radiomics is one of the research frontiers in the field of imaging and has excellent diagnostic performance. However, there is a lack of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based omics studies on identifying pathological subtypes of lung cancer. Here we explored the value of the contrast-enhanced MRI-T2-weighted imaging (T2WI)-based radiomic analysis in distinguishing adenocarcinoma (Ade) from squamous cell carcinoma (Squ) with solid components >8 mm. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of a total of 71 lung cancer patients who undergoing contrast-enhanced MRI and computed tomography (CT) before treatment, and the nodules had solid components ≥8 mm in our center from January 2020 to September 2021. All enrolled patients were divided into Squ and Ade groups according to the pathological results. In addition, the two groups were randomly divided into training set and validation set in a ratio of about 7:3. Radiomics software was used to extract the relevant radiomic features. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) was used to screen radiomic features that were most relevant to lung cancer subtypes, thus calculating the radiomic scores (Rad-score) and constructing the radiomic models. Multivariate logistic regression was used to combine relevant clinical features with Rad-score to form combined model nomograms. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. the area under the ROC curve (AUC), the decision curve analysis (DCA) and the DeLong's test were used to evaluate the clinical application potentials. Results The sensitivity and specificity of the clinical model based on smoking was 75.0% and 93.8%. The AUC of the constructed magnetic resonance (MR)-Rad model for differentiating the pathological subtypes of lung cancer was 0.8651 in the validation sets. The AUC of the CT-Rad model in the validation set were 0.9286. The combined model constructed by combining clinical features and Rad-score had AUC of 0.8016, for identifying the 2 pathological subtypes of lung cancer in the validation set. There was no significant difference in diagnostic performance between MR-Rad model and CT-Rad model (P>0.05). Conclusions The MR-Rad model has a diagnostic performance similar to that of CT-Rad model, while the diagnostic performance of the combined mode was better than the single MR model.

Abstract
AIM To develop and validate a nomogram model that combines computed tomography (CT)-based radiological factors extracted from deep-learning and clinical factors for the early predictions of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (ICI-P). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty ICI-P patients and 101 patients without ICI-P were divided randomly into the training (n=113) and test (n=28) sets. The convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm was used to extract the CT-based radiological features of predictable ICI-P and calculated the CT score of each patient. A nomogram model to predict the risk of ICI-P was developed by logistic regression. RESULTS CT score was calculated from five radiological features extracted by the residual neural network-50-V2 with feature pyramid networks. Four predictors of ICI-P in the nomogram model included a clinical feature (pre-existing lung diseases), two serum markers (absolute lymphocyte count and lactate dehydrogenase), and a CT score. The area under curve of the nomogram model in the training (0.910 versus 0.871 versus 0.778) and test (0.900 versus 0.856 versus 0.869) sets was better than the radiological and clinical models. The nomogram model showed good consistency and better clinical practicability. CONCLUSION The nomogram model that combined CT-based radiological factors and clinical factors can be used as a new non-invasive tool for the early prediction of ICI-P in lung cancer patients after immunotherapy with low cost and low manual input.

Abstract
Radiomics is a technique that extracts quantitative features from medical images using data-characterization algorithms. Radiomic features can be used to identify tissue characteristics and radiologic phenotyping that is not observable by clinicians. A typical workflow for a radiomics study includes cohort selection, radiomic feature extraction, feature and predictive model selection, and model training and validation. While there has been increasing attention given to radiomic feature extraction, standardization, and reproducibility, currently, there is a lack of rigorous evaluation of feature selection methods and predictive models. Herein, we review the published radiomics investigations in CT lung cancer and provide an overview of the commonly used radiomic feature selection methods and predictive models. We also compare limitations of various methods in clinical applications and present sources of uncertainty associated with those methods. This review is expected to help raise awareness of the impact of radiomic feature and model selection methods on the integrity of radiomics studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the potential of subregional radiomics as a novel tumor marker in predicting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status and response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in NSCLC patients with brain metastasis (BM). MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 230 patients from center 1, and 80 patients were included from center 2 to form a primary and external validation cohort, respectively. Patients underwent contrast-enhanced T1-weighted and T2-weighted MRI scans before treatment. The individual- and population-level clustering was used to partition the peritumoral edema area (POA) into phenotypically consistent subregions. Radiomics features were calculated and selected from the tumor active area (TAA), POA and subregions, and used to develop models. Prediction values of each region were investigated and compared with receiver operating characteristic curves and Delong test. RESULTS For predicting EGFR mutations, a multi-region combined model (EGFR-Fusion) was developed based on joint of the partitioned metastasis/brain parenchyma (M/BP)-interface and TAA, and generated the highest prediction performance in the training (AUC = 0.945, SEN = 0.878, SPE = 0.937), internal validation (AUC = 0.880, SEN = 0.733, SPE = 0.969), and external validation (AUC = 0.895, SEN = 0.875, SPE = 0.800) cohorts. For predicting response to EGFR-TKI, the developed multi-region combined model (TKI-Fusion) yielded predictive AUCs of 0.869 (SEN = 0.717, SPE = 0.884), 0.786 (SEN = 0.708, SPE = 0.818), and 0.802 (SEN = 0.750, SPE = 0.800) in the training, internal validation and external validation cohort, respectively. CONCLUSION Our study revealed that complementary information regarding the EGFR status and response to EGFR-TKI can be provided by subregional radiomics. The proposed radiomics models may be new markers to guide treatment plans for NSCLC patients with BM.

Abstract
Rapid-paced development and adaptability of artificial intelligence algorithms have secured their almost ubiquitous presence in the field of oncological imaging. Artificial intelligence models have been created for a variety of tasks, including risk stratification, automated detection, and segmentation of lesions, characterization, grading and staging, prediction of prognosis, and treatment response. Soon, artificial intelligence could become an essential part of every step of oncological workup and patient management. Integration of neural networks and deep learning into radiological artificial intelligence algorithms allow for extrapolating imaging features otherwise inaccessible to human operators and pave the way to truly personalized management of oncological patients.Although a significant proportion of currently available artificial intelligence solutions belong to basic and translational cancer imaging research, their progressive transfer to clinical routine is imminent, contributing to the development of a personalized approach in oncology. We thereby review the main applications of artificial intelligence in oncological imaging, describe the example of their successful integration into research and clinical practice, and highlight the challenges and future perspectives that will shape the field of oncological radiology.

The tumor detection and staging dataset consisted of 4860 enhanced CT images and annotated tumor bounding boxes. The HER2 state prediction dataset consisted of 38900 enhanced CT images. RESULTS The DetectionNet based on Yolov5 realized tumor detection and staging and achieved a mean Average Precision (IoU=0.5) (mAP_0.5) of 0.909 in the external validation cohort. The VIT-based PredictionNet performed optimally in HER2 status prediction with the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) of 0.9721 and 0.9995 in the TCIA cohort and prospective cohort, respectively. DLS included DetectionNet and PredictionNet had shown excellent performance in CT image interpretation. CONCLUSION This study developed the enhanced CT-based DLS to preoperatively predict the stage and HER2 status of gastric cancer patients, which will help in choosing the appropriate treatment to improve the survival of gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Simple Summary Targeted therapy against epidermal growth factor (EGFR) mutations has become the standard of care for non-small cell lung cancer, and there has not been an efficient genetic test for non-small cell lung cancer patients. The present study aims to find a novel data-driven genetic testing method that can effectively predict the mutation status of EGFR based on a prediction model combining clinical features. The results of this study provide a powerful theoretical basis for the establishment of an effective mutation prediction model. The prediction model can provide a high reference value aiding in EGFR mutation diagnosis and subsequent treatment course. Abstract Data from 758 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively collected. All patients had undergone computed tomography imaging and EGFR gene testing. Radiomic features were extracted using the medical imaging tool 3D-Slicer and were combined with the clinical features to build a machine learning prediction model. The high-dimensional feature set was screened for optimal feature subsets using principal component analysis (PCA) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Model prediction of EGFR mutation status in the validation group was evaluated using multiple classifiers. We showed that six clinical features and 622 radiomic features were initially collected. Thirty-one radiomic features with non-zero correlation coefficients were obtained by LASSO regression, and 24 features correlated with label values were obtained by PCA. The shared radiomic features determined by these two methods were selected and combined with the clinical features of the respective patient to form a subset of features related to EGFR mutations. The full dataset was partitioned into training and test sets at a ratio of 7:3 using 10-fold cross-validation. The area under the curve (AUC) of the four classifiers with cross-validations was: (1) K-nearest neighbor (AUCmean = 0.83, Acc = 81%); (2) random forest (AUCmean = 0.91, Acc = 83%); (3) LGBM (AUCmean = 0.94, Acc = 88%); and (4) support vector machine (AUCmean = 0.79, Acc = 83%). In summary, the subset of radiographic and clinical features selected by feature engineering effectively predicted the EGFR mutation status of this NSCLC patient cohort.
