Prediction of intraoperative press-fit stability of the acetabular cup in total hip arthroplasty using radiomics-based machine learning models. Eur J Radiol 2024; 181:111751. [PMID: 39321656 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 09/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative prediction of the acetabular cup press-fit stability in total hip arthroplasty is necessary for clinical decision-making. This study aims to establish and validate machine learning models to investigate the feasibility of predicting the intraoperative press-fit stability of the acetabular cup in total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS 226 patients who underwent primary THA from 2018 to 2022 in our hospital were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into press-fit stable or unstable groups according to the intraoperative pull-out test of the implanted cup. Then, they were randomly assigned to the training or test cohort in an 8:2 ratio. We used 3Dslicer software to segment the region of interest (ROI) of the patient's bilateral hip X-ray to extract radiomics features. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used in our feature selection. Finally, four machine learning models were employed in this study, including support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), logistic regression (LR), and XGBoost (XGB). Decision curve analysis (DCA), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the models were plotted. The area under the curve (AUC), diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were calculated as well. The AUCs of the four models were compared using the DeLong test. RESULTS Twenty-seven valuable radiomics features were determined by dimensionality reduction and selection. Regarding to the DeLong test, the AUC of the XGB model was significantly different from those of the other three models. (p < 0.05). Among all models, the XGB model exhibited the best performance with an AUC of 0.823 (95 % CI: 0.711-0.919) in the test cohort and showed optimal clinical efficacy according to the DCA. CONCLUSION Machine learning models based on X-ray radiomics can accurately predict the intraoperative press-fit stability of implanted cups preoperatively, providing surgeons with valuable information to lower the complication risk in THA.

Artificial intelligence assisted automatic screening of opportunistic osteoporosis in computed tomography images from different scanners. Eur Radiol 2024:10.1007/s00330-024-11046-2. [PMID: 39231830 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-024-11046-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES It is feasible to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and detect osteoporosis through an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted system by using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) as a reference without additional radiation exposure or cost. METHODS A deep-learning model developed based on 3312 low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) scans (trained with 2337 and tested with 975) achieved a mean dice similarity coefficient of 95.8% for T1-T12, L1, and L2 vertebral body (VB) segmentation on test data. We performed a model evaluation based on 4401 LDCT scans (obtained from scanners of 3 different manufacturers as external validation data). The BMD values of all individuals were extracted from three consecutive VBs: T12 to L2. Line regression and Bland‒Altman analyses were used to evaluate the overall detection performance. Sensitivity and specificity were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance for normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis patients. RESULTS Compared with the QCT results as the diagnostic standard, the BMD assessed had a mean error of (- 0.28, 2.37) mg/cm3. Overall, the sensitivity of a normal diagnosis was greater than that of a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis. For the diagnosis of osteoporosis, the model achieved a sensitivity > 86% and a specificity > 98%. CONCLUSION The developed tool is clinically applicable and helpful for the positioning and analysis of VBs, the measurement of BMD, and the screening of osteopenia and osteoporosis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The developed system achieved high accuracy for automatic opportunistic osteoporosis screening using low-dose chest CT scans and performed well on CT images collected from different scanners. KEY POINTS Osteoporosis is a prevalent but underdiagnosed condition that can increase the risk of fractures. This system could automatically and opportunistically screen for osteoporosis using low-dose chest CT scans obtained for lung cancer screening. The developed system performed well on CT images collected from different scanners and did not differ with patient age or sex.

Acad Radiol 2024; 31:2567-2578. [PMID: 38161089 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.11.022] [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: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Ex-smokers without spirometry or CT evidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but with mildly abnormal diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) are at higher risk of developing COPD. It remains difficult to make clinical management decisions for such ex-smokers without other objective assessments consistent with COPD. Hence, our objective was to develop a machine-learning and CT texture-analysis pipeline to dichotomize ex-smokers with normal and abnormal DLCO (DLCO≥75%pred and DLCO<75%pred). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 71 ex-smokers (50-85yrs) without COPD underwent spirometry, plethysmography, thoracic CT, and 3He MRI to generate ventilation defect percent (VDP) and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC). PyRadiomics was utilized to extract 496 CT texture-features; Boruta and principal component analysis were used for feature selection and various models were investigated for classification. Machine-learning classifiers were evaluated using area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and F1-measure. RESULTS Of 71 ex-smokers without COPD, 29 with mildly abnormal DLCO had significantly different MRI ADC (p < .001), residual-volume to total-lung-capacity ratio (p = .003), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (p = .029), and six-minute-walk distance (6MWD) (p < .001), but similar relative area of the lung < -950 Hounsfield-units (RA950) (p = .9) compared to 42 ex-smokers with normal DLCO. Logistic-regression machine-learning mixed-model trained on selected texture-features achieved the best classification accuracy of 87%. All clinical and imaging measurements were outperformed by high-high-pass filter high-gray-level-run-emphasis texture-feature (AUC=0.81), which correlated with DLCO (ρ = -0.29, p = .02), MRI ADC (ρ = 0.23, p = .048), and 6MWD (ρ = -0.25, p = .02). CONCLUSION In ex-smokers with no CT evidence of emphysema, machine-learning models exclusively trained on CT texture-features accurately classified ex-smokers with abnormal diffusing capacity, outperforming conventional quantitative CT measurements.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the performance of machine learning analysis based on proximal femur of abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans in screening for abnormal bone mass in femur. MATERIALS AND METHODS 222 patients aged 50 years or older who underwent abdominal CT and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans within 14 days were retrospectively enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned to a training cohort (n = 155) and a testing cohort (n = 67) in a ratio of 7:3. A total of 2288 candidate radiomic features were extracted from the volume region of interest - the left proximal femur of the abdominal CT scans. The most valuable radiomic features were selected using minimum-Redundancy Maximum-Relevancy and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator to construct the radiomics model. The predictive performance was assessed with receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS 13 features were chosen to establish the radiomics model. The radiomics model using logistic regression displayed excellent prediction performance in distinguishing normal bone mass and abnormal bone mass, with the area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 0.917 (95% CI, 0.867-0.967), 0.826, 0.935 and 0.780 in the training cohort. The testing cohort indicated a better performance with AUC, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 0.963 (95% CI, 0.919-0.999), 0.851, 0.923 and 0.889. CONCLUSION The radiomics model based on proximal femur of abdominal CT scans had a high predictive performance to identify abnormal bone mass in femur, which can be used as a tool for opportunistic osteoporosis screening.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the fast-growing disability-related diseases worldwide, which has significantly affected the quality of patients' lives and brings about substantial socioeconomic burdens in medical expenditure. There is currently no cure for OA once the bone damage is established. Unfortunately, the existing radiological examination is limited to grading the disease's severity and is insufficient to precisely diagnose OA, detect early OA or predict OA progression. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop novel approaches in medical image analysis to detect subtle changes for identifying early OA development and rapid progressors. Recently, radiomics has emerged as a unique approach to extracting high-dimensional imaging features that quantitatively characterise visible or hidden information from routine medical images. Radiomics data mining via machine learning has empowered precise diagnoses and prognoses of disease, mainly in oncology. Mounting evidence has shown its great potential in aiding the diagnosis and contributing to the study of musculoskeletal diseases. This paper will summarise the current development of radiomics at the crossroads between engineering and medicine and discuss the application and perspectives of radiomics analysis for OA diagnosis and prognosis. The translational potential of this article Radiomics is a novel approach used in oncology, and it may also play an essential role in the diagnosis and prognosis of OA. By transforming medical images from qualitative interpretation to quantitative data, radiomics could be the solution for precise early OA detection, progression tracking, and treatment efficacy prediction. Since the application of radiomics in OA is still in the early stages and primarily focuses on fundamental studies, this review may inspire more explorations and bring more promising diagnoses, prognoses, and management results of OA.

Abstract
Many treatments against breast cancer decrease the level of estrogen in blood, resulting in bone loss, osteoporosis and fragility fractures in breast cancer patients. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate a novel opportunistic screening for cancer treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL) in breast cancer patients using CT radiomics. Between 2011 and 2021, a total of 412 female breast cancer patients who received treatment and were followed up in our institution, had post-treatment dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) examination of the lumbar vertebrae and had post-treatment chest CT scan that encompassed the L1 vertebra, were included in this study. Results indicated that the T-score of L1 vertebra had a strongly positive correlation with the average T-score of L1-L4 vertebrae derived from DXA (r = 0.91, p < 0.05). On multivariable analysis, four clinical variables (age, body weight, menopause status, aromatase inhibitor exposure duration) and three radiomic features extracted from the region of interest of L1 vertebra (original_firstorder_RootMeanSquared, wavelet.HH_glcm_InverseVariance, and wavelet.LL_glcm_MCC) were selected for building predictive models of L1 T-score and bone health. The predictive model combining clinical and radiomic features showed the greatest adjusted R2 value (0.557), sensitivity (83.6%), specificity (74.2%) and total accuracy (79.4%) compared to models that relied solely on clinical data, radiomic features, or Hounsfield units. In conclusion, the clinical-radiomic predictive model may be used as an opportunistic screening tool for early identification of breast cancer survivors at high risk of CTIBL based on non-contrast CT images of the L1 vertebra, thereby facilitating early intervention for osteoporosis.

Abstract
This study utilized deep learning to classify osteoporosis and predict bone density using opportunistic CT scans and independently tested the models on data from different hospitals and equipment. Results showed high accuracy and strong correlation with QCT results, showing promise for expanding osteoporosis screening and reducing unnecessary radiation and costs. PURPOSE To explore the feasibility of using deep learning to establish a model for osteoporosis classification and bone density value prediction based on opportunistic CT scans and to verify its generalization and diagnostic ability using an independent test set. METHODS A total of 1219 cases of opportunistic CT scans were included in this study, with QCT results as the reference standard. The training set: test set: independent test set ratio was 703: 176: 340, and the independent test set data of 340 cases were from 3 different hospitals and 4 different CT scanners. The VB-Net structure automatic segmentation model was used to segment the trabecular bone, and DenseNet was used to establish a three-classification model and bone density value prediction regression model. The performance parameters of the models were calculated and evaluated. RESULTS The ROC curves showed that the mean AUCs of the three-category classification model for categorizing cases into "normal," "osteopenia," and "osteoporosis" for the training set, test set, and independent test set were 0.999, 0.970, and 0.933, respectively. The F1 score, accuracy, precision, recall, precision, and specificity of the test set were 0.903, 0.909, 0.899, 0.908, and 0.956, respectively, and those of the independent test set were 0.798, 0.815, 0.792, 0.81, and 0.899, respectively. The MAEs of the bone density prediction regression model in the training set, test set, and independent test set were 3.15, 6.303, and 10.257, respectively, and the RMSEs were 4.127, 8.561, and 13.507, respectively. The R-squared values were 0.991, 0.962, and 0.878, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.996, 0.981, and 0.94, respectively, and the p values were all < 0.001. The predicted values and bone density values were highly positively correlated, and there was a significant linear relationship. CONCLUSION Using deep learning neural networks to process opportunistic CT scan images of the body can accurately predict bone density values and perform bone density three-classification diagnosis, which can reduce the radiation risk, economic consumption, and time consumption brought by specialized bone density measurement, expand the scope of osteoporosis screening, and have broad application prospects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Digital X-ray imaging is essential for diagnosing osteoporosis, but distinguishing affected patients from healthy individuals using these images remains challenging. OBJECTIVE This study introduces a novel method using deep learning to improve osteoporosis diagnosis from bone X-ray images. METHODS A dataset of bone X-ray images was analyzed using a newly proposed procedure. This procedure involves segregating the images into regions of interest (ROI) and non-ROI, thereby reducing data redundancy. The images were then processed to enhance both spatial and statistical features. For classification, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier was employed to distinguish between osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic cases. RESULTS The proposed method demonstrated a promising Area under the Curve (AUC) of 90.8% in diagnosing osteoporosis, benchmarking favorably against existing techniques. This signifies a high level of accuracy in distinguishing osteoporosis patients from healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method effectively distinguishes between osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic cases using bone X-ray images. By enhancing image features and employing SVM classification, the technique offers a promising tool for efficient and accurate osteoporosis diagnosis.

Abstract
Pulmonary imaging measurements using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) have the potential to deepen our understanding of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by measuring airway and parenchymal pathologic information that cannot be provided by spirometry. Currently, MRI and CT measurements are not included in mortality risk predictions, diagnosis, or COPD staging. We evaluated baseline pulmonary function, MRI and CT measurements alongside imaging texture-features to predict 10-year all-cause mortality in ex-smokers with (n = 93; 31 females; 70 ± 9years) and without (n = 69; 29 females, 69 ± 9years) COPD. CT airway and vessel measurements, helium-3 (3He) MRI ventilation defect percent (VDP) and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) were quantified. MRI and CT texture-features were extracted using PyRadiomics (version2.2.0). Associations between 10-year all-cause mortality and all clinical and imaging measurements were evaluated using multivariable regression model odds-ratios. Machine-learning predictive models for 10-year all-cause mortality were evaluated using area-under-receiver-operator-characteristic-curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity analyses. DLCO (%pred) (HR = 0.955, 95%CI: 0.934-0.976, p < 0.001), MRI ADC (HR = 1.843, 95%CI: 1.260-2.871, p < 0.001), and CT informational-measure-of-correlation (HR = 3.546, 95% CI: 1.660-7.573, p = 0.001) were the strongest predictors of 10-year mortality. A machine-learning model trained on clinical, imaging, and imaging textures was the best predictive model (AUC = 0.82, sensitivity = 83%, specificity = 84%) and outperformed the solely clinical model (AUC = 0.76, sensitivity = 77%, specificity = 79%). In ex-smokers, regardless of COPD status, addition of CT and MR imaging texture measurements to clinical models provided unique prognostic information of mortality risk that can allow for better clinical management.Clinical Trial Registration: www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT02279329.

EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2023; 32:3892-3905. [PMID: 37624438 DOI: 10.1007/s00586-023-07887-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Imminent new vertebral fracture (NVF) is highly prevalent after vertebral augmentation (VA). An accurate assessment of the imminent risk of NVF could help to develop prompt treatment strategies. PURPOSE To develop and validate predictive models that integrated the radiomic features and clinical risk factors based on machine learning algorithms to evaluate the imminent risk of NVF. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, a total of 168 patients with painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures treated with VA were evaluated. Radiomic features of L1 vertebrae based on lumbar T2-weighted images were obtained. Univariate and LASSO-regression analyses were applied to select the optimal features and construct radiomic signature. The radiomic signature and clinical signature were integrated to develop a predictive model by using machine learning algorithms including LR, RF, SVM, and XGBoost. Receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration curve analyses were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the models. RESULTS The radiomic-XGBoost model with the highest AUC of 0.93 of the training cohort and 0.9 of the test cohort among the machine learning algorithms. The combined-XGBoost model with the best performance with an AUC of 0.9 in the training cohort and 0.9 in the test cohort. The radiomic-XGBoost model and combined-XGBoost model achieved better performance to assess the imminent risk of NVF than that of the clinical risk factors alone (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Radiomic and machine learning modeling based on T2W images of preoperative lumbar MRI had an excellent ability to evaluate the imminent risk of NVF after VA.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:791. [PMID: 37803313 PMCID: PMC10557221 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06911-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low back pain is a widely prevalent symptom and the foremost cause of disability on a global scale. Although various degenerative imaging findings observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been linked to low back pain and disc herniation, none of them can be considered pathognomonic for this condition, given the high prevalence of abnormal findings in asymptomatic individuals. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge regarding whether radiomics features in MRI images combined with clinical features can be useful for prediction modeling of treatment success. The objective of this study was to explore the potential of radiomics feature analysis combined with clinical features and artificial intelligence-based techniques (machine learning/deep learning) in identifying MRI predictors for the prediction of outcomes after lumbar disc herniation surgery. METHODS We included n = 172 patients who underwent discectomy due to disc herniation with preoperative T2-weighted MRI examinations. Extracted clinical features included sex, age, alcohol and nicotine consumption, insurance type, hospital length of stay (LOS), complications, operation time, ASA score, preoperative CRP, surgical technique (microsurgical versus full-endoscopic), and information regarding the experience of the performing surgeon (years of experience with the surgical technique and the number of surgeries performed at the time of surgery). The present study employed a semiautomatic region-growing volumetric segmentation algorithm to segment herniated discs. In addition, 3D-radiomics features, which characterize phenotypic differences based on intensity, shape, and texture, were extracted from the computed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. Selected features identified by feature importance analyses were utilized for both machine learning and deep learning models (n = 17 models). RESULTS The mean accuracy over all models for training and testing in the combined feature set was 93.31 ± 4.96 and 88.17 ± 2.58. The mean accuracy for training and testing in the clinical feature set was 91.28 ± 4.56 and 87.69 ± 3.62. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest a minimal but detectable improvement in predictive tasks when radiomics features are included. However, the extent of this advantage should be considered with caution, emphasizing the potential of exploring multimodal data inputs in future predictive modeling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We analyzed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiomics labels from tuberculous spondylitis (TBS) and brucella spondylitis (BS) to build machine learning models that differentiate TBS from BS and culture-positive TBS (TBS(+)) from culture-negative TBS (TBS(-). METHODS This retrospective study included 56 patients with BS, 63 patients with TBS(+) and 71 patients with TBS(-). Radiomics labels were extracted from T2-weighted fat-suppression images. MRI labels were analyzed via logistic regression (LR); radiomics labels were analyzed by t-tests, SelectKBest, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) models were established using radiomics or joint (radiomics+MRI) labels. Models were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves, areas under the curve (AUCs), decision curve analysis (DCA), and Hosmer-Lemeshow tests. RESULTS When joint-label models were used to compare BS vs TBS(+) and BS vs TBS(-) groups, SVM AUCs were 0.904 and 0.944, respectively, whereas RF AUCs were 0.950 and 0.947, respectively; these were higher than the AUCs of the MRI label-based LR model. DCA showed that radiomics-based machine learning models had a greater net benefit; Hosmer-Lemeshow tests demonstrated good prediction consistency for all models. CONCLUSIONS Radiomics can help distinguish TBS from BS and TBS(+) from TBS(-).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study developed a diagnostic tool combining machine learning (ML) segmentation and radiomic texture analysis (RTA) for bone density screening using chest low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). METHODS A total of 197 patients who underwent LDCT followed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were analyzed. First, an autosegmentation model was trained using LDCT to delineate the thoracic vertebral body (VB). Second, a two-level classifier was developed using radiomic features extracted from VBs for the hierarchical pairwise classification of each patient's bone status. All the patients were initially classified as either normal or abnormal, and all patients with abnormal bone density were then subdivided into an osteopenia group and an osteoporosis group. The performance of the classifier was evaluated through fivefold cross-validation. RESULTS The model for automated VB segmentation achieved a Sorenson-Dice coefficient of 0.87 ± 0.01. Furthermore, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve scores for the two-level classifier were 0.96 ± 0.01 for detecting abnormal bone density (accuracy = 0.91 ± 0.02; sensitivity = 0.93 ± 0.03; specificity = 0.89 ± 0.03) and 0.98 ± 0.01 for distinguishing osteoporosis (accuracy = 0.94 ± 0.02; sensitivity = 0.95 ± 0.03; specificity = 0.93 ± 0.03). The testing prediction accuracy levels for the first- and second-level classifiers were 0.92 ± 0.04 and 0.94 ± 0.05, respectively. The overall testing prediction accuracy of our method was 0.90 ± 0.05. CONCLUSION The combination of ML segmentation and RTA for automated bone density prediction based on LDCT scans is a feasible approach that could be valuable for osteoporosis screening during lung cancer screening. KEY POINTS • This study developed an automatic diagnostic tool combining machine learning-based segmentation and radiomic texture analysis for bone density screening using chest low-dose computed tomography. • The developed method enables opportunistic screening without quantitative computed tomography or a dedicated phantom. • The developed method could be integrated into the current clinical workflow and used as an adjunct for opportunistic screening or for patients who are ineligible for screening with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop and assess the performance of machine learning (ML) models based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics analysis for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) diagnosis. METHODS This retrospective study analysed 148 consecutive patients (72 with KOA and 76 without) with available MRI image data, where radiomics features in cartilage portions were extracted and then filtered. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to quantify the reproducibility of features, and a threshold of 0.8 was set. The training and validation cohorts consisted of 117 and 31 cases, respectively. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression method was employed for feature selection. The ML classifiers were logistic regression (LR), K-nearest neighbour (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM). In each algorithm, ten models derived from all available planes of three joint compartments and their various combinations were, respectively, constructed for comparative analysis. The performance of classifiers was mainly evaluated and compared by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS All models achieved satisfying performances, especially the Final model, where accuracy and area under ROC curve (AUC) of LR classifier were 0.968, 0.983 (0.957-1.000, 95% CI) in the validation cohort, and 0.940, 0.984 (0.969-0.995, 95% CI) in the training cohort, respectively. CONCLUSION The MRI radiomics analysis represented promising performance in noninvasive and preoperative KOA diagnosis, especially when considering all available planes of all three compartments of knee joints.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the aging population of society, the incidence rate of osteoporosis is increasing year by year. Early diagnosis of osteoporosis plays a significant role in the progress of disease prevention. As newly developed technology, computed tomography (CT) radiomics could discover radiomic features difficult to recognize visually, providing convenient, comprehensive and accurate osteoporosis diagnosis. This study aimed to develop and validate a clinical-radiomics model based on the monochromatic imaging of single source dual-energy CT for osteoporosis prediction. METHODS One hundred sixty-four participants who underwent both single source dual-energy CT and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) lumbar-spine examination were enrolled in a study cohort including training datasets (n = 114 [30 osteoporosis and 84 non-osteoporosis]) and validation datasets (n = 50 [12 osteoporosis and 38 non-osteoporosis]). One hundred seven radiomics features were extracted from 70-keV monochromatic CT images. With QCT as the reference standard, a radiomics signature was built by using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression on the basis of reproducible features. A clinical-radiomics model was constructed by incorporating the radiomics signature and a significant clinical predictor (age) using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Model performance was assessed by its calibration, discrimination and clinical usefulness. RESULTS The radiomics signature comprised 14 selected features and showed good calibration and discrimination in both training and validation cohorts. The clinical-radiomics model, which incorporated the radiomics signature and a significant clinical predictor (age), also showed good discrimination, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.938 (95% confidence interval, 0.903-0.952) in the training cohort and an AUC of 0.988 (95% confidence interval, 0.967-0.998) in the validation cohort, and good calibration. The clinical-radiomics model stratified participants into groups with osteoporosis and non-osteoporosis with an accuracy of 94.0% in the validation cohort. Decision curve analysis (DCA) demonstrated that the radiomics signature and the clinical-radiomics model were clinically useful. CONCLUSIONS The clinical-radiomics model incorporating the radiomics signature and a clinical parameter had a good ability to predict osteoporosis based on dual-energy CT monoenergetic imaging.

Vertebral trabecular bone texture analysis in opportunistic MRI and CT scan can distinguish patients with and without osteoporotic vertebral fracture: A preliminary study. Eur J Radiol 2023; 158:110642. [PMID: 36527774 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2022.110642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the potential of texture parameters from opportunistic MRI and CT for the detection of patients with vertebral fragility fracture, to design a decision tree and to compute a Random Forest analysis for the prediction of fracture risk. METHODS One hundred and eighty vertebrae of sixty patients with at least one (30) or without (30) a fragility fracture were retrospectively assessed. Patients had a DXA, an MRI and a CT scan from the three first lumbar vertebrae. Vertebrae texture analysis was performed in routine abdominal or lumbar CT and lumbar MRI using 1st and 2nd order texture parameters. Hounsfield Unit Bone density (HU BD) was also measured on CT-scan images. RESULTS Twelve texture parameters, Z-score and HU BD were significantly different between the two groups whereas T score and BMD were not. The inter observer reproducibility was good to excellent. Decision tree showed that age and HU BD were the most relevant factors to predict the fracture risk with a 93 % sensitivity and 56 % specificity. AUC was 0.91 in MRI and 0.92 in CT-scan using the Random Forest analysis. The corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 72 % and 93 % in MRI and 83 and 89 % in CT. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to compare texture indices computed from opportunistic CT and MR images. Age and HU-BD together with selected texture parameters could be used to assess risk fracture. Machine learning algorithm can detect fracture risk in opportunistic CT and MR imaging and might be of high interest for the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

[PMID: 36656878 PMCID: PMC9851527 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0280523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Legal age estimation of living individuals is a critically important issue, and radiomics is an emerging research field that extracts quantitative data from medical images. However, no reports have proposed age-related radiomics features of the condylar head or an age classification model using those features. This study aimed to introduce a radiomics approach for various classifications of legal age (18, 19, 20, and 21 years old) based on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of the mandibular condylar head, and to evaluate the usefulness of the radiomics features selected by machine learning models as imaging biomarkers. CBCT images from 85 subjects were divided into eight age groups for four legal age classifications: ≤17 and ≥18 years old groups (18-year age classification), ≤18 and ≥19 years old groups (19-year age classification), ≤19 and ≥20 years old groups (20-year age classification) and ≤20 and ≥21 years old groups (21-year age classification). The condylar heads were manually segmented by an expert. In total, 127 radiomics features were extracted from the segmented area of each condylar head. The random forest (RF) method was utilized to select features and develop the age classification model for four legal ages. After sorting features in descending order of importance, the top 10 extracted features were used. The 21-year age classification model showed the best performance, with an accuracy of 91.18%, sensitivity of 80%, and specificity of 95.83%. Radiomics features of the condylar head using CBCT showed the possibility of age estimation, and the selected features were useful as imaging biomarkers.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2022; 108:e283-e294. [PMID: 36494103 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgac722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Fractures are serious consequence of osteoporosis in old adults. However, few longitudinal studies showed the role of computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics in predicting osteoporotic fractures. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the performance of CT radiomics-based model for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) in a longitudinal study. METHODS 7906 subjects without OVF who were aged over 50 years, and underwent CT scans between 2016 and 2019 were enrolled and followed up until 2021. Seventy-two cases of new OVF were identified. One hundred and forty-four people without OVF during follow-up were selected as control. Radiomics features were extracted from baseline CT images. CT values of trabecular bone, and area and density of erector spinae were determined. Cox regression analysis was used to identify the independent associated factors. The predictive performance of the nomogram was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve. RESULTS CT value of vertebra (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 2.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07, 3.89), radiomics score (aHR = 6.56, 95%CI:3.47, 12.38) and area of erector spinae (aHR = 1.68, 95%CI: 1.02, 2.78) were independently associated with OVF. Radscore was associated with severe OVF (aHR = 6.00, 95% CI:2.78-12.93). The nomogram showed good discrimination with a C-index of 0.82 (95%CI: 0.77, 0.87). The area under the curve of nomogram and radscore were both higher than osteoporosis + muscle area for 3-year and 4-year risk of fractures (p < 0.05). Decision curve also demonstrated that the radiomics nomogram was useful. CONCLUSIONS Bone radiomics is associated with OVF and the nomogram based on radiomics signature and muscle provides a tool for the prediction of OVF.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is emerging evidence that radiomics analyses can improve detection of skeletal fragility. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated radiomics features (RFs) on computed tomography (CT) images of the lumbar spine in subjects with or without fragility vertebral fractures (VFs). METHODS Two-hundred-forty consecutive individuals (mean age 60.4 ± 15.4, 130 males) were evaluated by radiomics analyses on opportunistic lumbar spine CT. VFs were diagnosed in 58 subjects by morphometric approach on CT or XR-ray spine (D4-L4) images. DXA measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) was performed on 17 subjects with VFs. RESULTS Twenty RFs were used to develop the machine learning model reaching 0.839 and 0.789 of AUROC in the train and test datasets, respectively. After correction for age, VFs were significantly associated with RFs obtained from non-fractured vertebrae indicating altered trabecular microarchitecture, such as low-gray level zone emphasis (LGLZE) [odds ratio (OR) 1.675, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.215-2.310], gray level non-uniformity (GLN) (OR 1.403, 95% CI 1.023-1.924) and neighboring gray-tone difference matrix (NGTDM) contrast (OR 0.692, 95% CI 0.493-0.971). Noteworthy, no significant differences in LGLZE (p = 0.94), GLN (p = 0.40) and NGDTM contrast (p = 0.54) were found between fractured subjects with BMD T score < - 2.5 SD and those in whom VFs developed in absence of densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS Artificial intelligence-based analyses on spine CT images identified RFs associated with fragility VFs. Future studies are needed to test the predictive value of RFs on opportunistic CT scans in identifying subjects with primary and secondary osteoporosis at high risk of fracture.

Sebro R, la Garza-Ramos CD. Utilizing machine learning for opportunistic screening for low BMD using CT scans of the cervical spine. J Neuroradiol 2022; 50:293-301. [PMID: 36030924 DOI: 10.1016/j.neurad.2022.08.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Computed Tomography (CT) scans of the cervical spine are often performed to evaluate patients for trauma and degenerative changes of the cervical spine. We hypothesized that the CT attenuation of the cervical vertebrae can be used to identify patients who should be screened for osteoporosis. METHODS Retrospective study of 253 patients (177 training/validation and 76 test) with unenhanced CT scans of the cervical spine and DXA studies within 12 months of each other. Volumetric segmentation of C1-T1, clivus, and first ribs was performed to obtain the CT attenuation of each bone. The correlations of the CT attenuations between the bones and with DXA measurements were evaluated. Univariate receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analyses, and multivariate classifiers (Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, Naïve Bayes (NB), and Support Vector Machines (SVM)) analyzing the CT attenuation of all bones, were utilized to predict patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) T-scores <-1. RESULTS There were positive correlations between the CT attenuation of each bone, and with the DXA measurements. A CT attenuation threshold of 305.2 Hounsfield Units (HU) at C3 had the highest accuracy =0.763 (AUC=0.814) to detect femoral neck BMD T-scores ≤-1 and a CT attenuation threshold of 323.6 HU at C3 had the highest accuracy=0.774 (AUC=0.843) to detect osteopenia/osteoporosis. The SVM classifier (AUC=0.756) had higher AUC than the RF (AUC=0.692, P=0.224), XGBoost (AUC=0.736; P=0.814), NB (AUC=0.622, P=0.133) and CT threshold of 305.2 HU at C3 (AUC=0.704, P=0.531) classifiers to identify patients with femoral neck BMD T-scores <-1. The SVM classifier (accuracy=0.816) was more accurate than using the CT threshold of 305.2 HU at C3 (accuracy=0.671) (McNemar's χ12=7.55, P=0.006). CONCLUSION Opportunistic screening for low BMD can be done using cervical spine CT scans. A SVM classifier was more accurate than using the CT threshold of 305.2 HU at C3.

Abstract
Background To develop and validate a quantitative computed tomography (QCT) based radiomics model for discriminating osteoporosis and osteopenia.
Methods A total of 635 patients underwent QCT were retrospectively included from November 2016 to November 2019. The patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis (N = 590) were divided into a training cohort (N = 414) and a test cohort (N = 176). Radiomics features were extracted from the QCT images of the third lumbar vertebra. Minimum redundancy and maximum relevance and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were used for data dimensional reduction, features selection and radiomics model building. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to construct the combined clinical-radiomic model that incorporated radiomics signatures and clinical characteristics. The performance of the combined clinical-radiomic model was evaluated by the area under the curve of receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC–AUC), accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. Results The patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis were randomly divided into training and test cohort with a ratio of 7:3. Six more predictive radiomics signatures, age, alkaline phosphatase and homocysteine were selected to construct the combined clinical-radiomic model for diagnosis of osteoporosis and osteopenia. The AUC of the combined clinical-radiomic model was 0.96 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.95 to 0.98) in the training cohort and 0.96 (95% CI 0.92 to 1.00) in the test cohort, which were superior to the clinical model alone (training-AUC = 0.81, test-AUC = 0.79). The calibration curve demonstrated that the radiomics nomogram had good agreement between prediction and observation and decision curve analysis confirmed clinically useful. Conclusions The combined clinical-radiomic model that incorporates the radiomics score and clinical risk factors, can serve as a reliable and powerful tool for discriminating osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Abstract
Metabolic bone diseases comprise a wide spectrum. Osteoporosis, the most frequent, characteristically involves the spine, with a high impact on health care systems and on the morbidity of patients due to the occurrence of vertebral fractures (VFs).Part II of this review completes an overview of state-of-the-art techniques on the imaging of metabolic bone diseases of the spine, focusing on specific populations and future perspectives. We address the relevance of diagnosis and current status on VF assessment and quantification. We also analyze the diagnostic techniques in the pediatric population and then review the assessment of body composition around the spine and its potential application. We conclude with a discussion of the future of osteoporosis screening, through opportunistic diagnosis and the application of artificial intelligence.

Radiomic Modeling of Bone Density and Rib Fracture Risk After Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Adv Radiat Oncol 2022; 7:100884. [PMID: 35647405 PMCID: PMC9133372 DOI: 10.1016/j.adro.2021.100884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Our purpose was to determine whether bone density and bone-derived radiomic metrics in combination with dosimetric variables could improve risk stratification of rib fractures after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods and Materials A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with early-stage NSCLC treated with SBRT. Dosimetric data and rib radiomic data extracted using PyRadiomics were used for the analysis. A subset of patients had bone density scans that were used to create a predicted bone density score for all patients. A 10-fold cross validated approach with 10 resamples was used to find the top univariate logistic models and elastic net regression models that predicted for rib fracture. Results A total of 192 treatment plans were included in the study with a rib fracture rate of 16.1%. A predicted bone density score was created from a multivariate model with vertebral body Hounsfield units and patient weight, with an R-squared of 0.518 compared with patient dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry T-scores. When analyzing all patients, a low predicted bone density score approached significance for increased risk of rib fracture (P = .07). On competing risk analysis, when stratifying patients based on chest wall V30 Gy and bone density score, those with a V30 Gy ≥30 cc and a low bone density score had a significantly higher risk of rib fracture compared with all other patients (P < .001), with a predicted 2-year risk of rib fracture of 28.6% (95% confidence interval, 17.2%-41.1%) and 4.9% (95% confidence interval, 2.3%-9.0%), respectively. Dosimetric variables were the primary drivers of fracture risk. A multivariate elastic net regression model including all dosimetric variables was the best predictor of rib fracture (area under the curve [AUC], 0.864). Bone density variables (AUC, 0.618) and radiomic variables (AUC, 0.617) have better predictive power than clinical variables that exclude bone density (AUC, 0.538). Conclusion Radiomic features, including a bone density score that includes vertebral body Hounsfield units and radiomic signatures from the ribs, can be used to stratify risk of rib fracture after SBRT for NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop a predictive model to detect osteoporosis using radiomic features from lumbar spine computed tomography (CT) images. METHODS A total of 133 patients were included in this retrospective study, 41 men and 92 women, with a mean age of 65.45 ± 9.82 years (range: 31-94 years); 53 had normal bone mineral density, 32 osteopenia, and 48 osteoporosis. For each patient, the L1-L4 vertebrae on the CT images were automatically segmented using SenseCare and defined as regions of interest (ROIs). In total, 1,197 radiomic features were extracted from these ROIs using PyRadiomics. The most significant features were selected using logistic regression and Pearson correlation coefficient matrices. Using these features, we constructed three linear classification models based on the random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithms, respectively. The training and test sets were repeatedly selected using fivefold cross-validation. The model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) and confusion matrix. RESULTS The classification model based on RF had the highest performance, with an AUC of 0.994 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.979-1.00) for differentiating normal BMD and osteoporosis, 0.866 (95% CI: 0.779-0.954) for osteopenia versus osteoporosis, and 0.940 (95% CI: 0.891-0.989) for normal BMD versus osteopenia. CONCLUSIONS The excellent performance of this radiomic model indicates that lumbar spine CT images can effectively be used to identify osteoporosis and as a tool for opportunistic osteoporosis screening.

Abstract
This study aims to measure the reproducibility of radiomics features in ankle bone radiography over changes in post-processing parameters including contrast, edge enhancement and latitude. Lateral ankle bone radiographies for sixty patients were obtained from three digital radiology centers. All images were acquired by same image acquisition settings. A two-dimensional region of interest was drawn in any image and 93 features from 6 feature sets including first and second order were extracted. The coefficient of variation (COV) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated to assess feature reproducibility for each center and among all centers in three scenarios: Adams (Nat Rev Endocrinol 9(1):28, 2013) ten different contrast Brown et al. (J Med Imaging 5(1):011017, 2018) ten different edge enhancement and Hirvasniemi et al. (Osteoarthr Cartilage 27(6):906-914, 2019) ten different image latitude parameters. Based on ICC analysis, it is observed that 46-100-44% of Histogram, 54-72-42% of GLCM, 43-76-36% of GLDM, 60-90-17% of GLRLM, 33-19-21% of GLSZM and 13-20-0% of NGTDM radiomics features had 90% < ICC < 100% over changes in contrast-edge enhancement-latitude changes respectively. Based on COV, GLRLM was only feature set that 100% of their features had COV ≤ 5% over changes in contrast and edge enhancement. The results presented here, indicating that radiomics features extracted are vulnerable over changes in contrast, edge enhancement and latitude. The most reproducible features that introduced in this study could be used for further clinical decision making.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
To investigate and verify the efficiency and effectiveness of a nomogram based on radiomics labels in predicting the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
Methods
By reviewing medical records that were analysed over the past three years, clinical and imaging data of 200 lumbar disc patients at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were obtained. The collected cases were randomly divided into a training group (n = 140) and a testing group (n = 60) at a ratio of 7:3. Two radiologists with experience in reading orthopaedics images independently segmented the ROIs. The whole intervertebral disc with the most obvious protrusion in the sagittal plane T2WI lumbar MRI as a mask (ROI) is sketched. The LASSO (Least Absolute Shrinkage And Selection Operator) algorithm was used to filter the features after extracting the radiomics features. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to construct a quantitative imaging Rad‑Score for the selected features with nonzero coefficients. The radiomics labels and nomogram were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC). The calibration curve was used to evaluate the consistency between the nomogram prediction and the actual treatment plan. The DCA decision curve was used to evaluate the clinical applicability of the nomogram.
Result
Following feature extraction, 11 radiomics features were used to construct the radiomics label for predicting the treatment plan of LDH. A nomogram was then constructed. The AUC was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.90–0.97), with a sensitivity of 89%, a specificity of 91%, a positive predictive value of 92.7%, a negative predictive value of 89.4%, and an accuracy of 91%. The calibration curve showed that there was good consistency between the prediction and the actual observation. The DCA decision curve analysis showed that the nomogram of the imaging group has great potential for clinical application when the risk threshold is between 5 and 72%.
Conclusion
A nomogram based on radiomics labels has good predictive value for the treatment of LDH and can be used as a reference for clinical decision-making.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop French guidelines by experts to standardize data acquisition, image interpretation, and reporting in rectal cancer staging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Evidence-based data and opinions of experts of GRERCAR (Groupe de REcherche en Radiologie sur le CAncer du Rectum [i.e., Rectal Cancer Imaging Research Group]) and GRECCAR (Groupe de REcherche en Chirurgie sur le CAncer du Rectum [i.e., Rectal Cancer Surgery Research Group]) were combined using the RAND-UCLA Appropriateness Method to attain consensus guidelines. Experts scoring of reporting template and protocol for data acquisition were collected; responses were analyzed and classified as "Recommended" versus "Not recommended" (when ≥ 80% consensus among experts) or uncertain (when < 80% consensus among experts). RESULTS Consensus regarding patient preparation, MRI sequences, staging and reporting was attained using the RAND-UCLA Appropriateness Method. A consensus was reached for each reporting template item among the experts. Tailored MRI protocol and standardized report were proposed. CONCLUSION These consensus recommendations should be used as a guide for rectal cancer staging with MRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although lumbar bone marrow fat fraction (BMFF) has been demonstrated to be predictive of osteoporosis, its utility is limited by the requirement of manual segmentation. Additionally, quantitative features beyond simple BMFF average remain to be explored. In this study, we developed a fully automated radiomic pipeline using deep learning-based segmentation to detect osteoporosis and abnormal bone density (ABD) using a <20 s modified Dixon (mDixon) sequence. METHODS In total, 222 subjects underwent quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and lower back magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Bone mineral density (BMD) were extracted from L1-L3 using QCT as the reference standard; 206 subjects (48.8±14.9 years old, 140 females) were included in the final analysis, and were divided temporally into the training/validation set (142/64 subjects). A deep-learning network was developed to perform automated segmentation. Radiomic models were built using the same training set to predict ABD and osteoporosis using the mDixon maps. The performance was evaluated using the temporal validation set comprised of 64 subjects, along with the automated segmentation. Additional 25 subjects (56.1±8.8 years, 14 females) from another site and a different scanner vendor was included as independent validation to evaluate the performance of the pipeline. RESULTS The automated segmentation achieved an outstanding mean dice coefficient of 0.912±0.062 compared to manual in the temporal validation. Task-based evaluation was performed in the temporal validation set, for predicting ABD and osteoporosis, the area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 0.925/0.899, 0.923/0.667, 0.789/0.873, 0.844/0.844, respectively. These values were comparable to that of manual segmentation. External validation (cross-vendor) was also performed; the area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 0.688/0.913, 0.786/0.857, 0.545/0.944, 0.680/0.920 for ABD and osteoporosis prediction, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our work is the first attempt using radiomics to predict osteoporosis with BMFF map, and the deep-learning based segmentation will further facilitate the clinical utility of the pipeline as a screening tool for early detection of ABD.

Preoperative prediction of residual back pain after vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: Initial application of a radiomics score based nomogram.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) obtain pain relief after vertebral augmentation, but some will experience residual back pain (RBP) after surgery. Although several risk factors of RBP have been reported, it is still difficult to estimate the risk of RBP preoperatively. Radiomics is helpful for disease diagnosis and outcome prediction by establishing complementary relationships between human-recognizable and computer-extracted features. However, musculoskeletal radiomics investigations are less frequently reported. OBJECTIVE This study aims to establish a radiomics score (rad-score) based nomogram for the preoperative prediction of RBP in OVCF patients. METHODS The training cohort of 731 OVCF patients was used for nomogram development, and the validation cohort was utilized for performance test. RBP was determined as the score of visual analogue scale ≥ 4 at both 3 and 30 days following surgery. After normalization, the RBP-related radiomics features were selected to create rad-scores. These rad-scores, along with the RBP predictors initially identified by univariate analyses, were included in the multivariate analysis to establish a nomogram for the assessment of the RBP risk in OVCF patients preoperatively. RESULTS A total of 81 patients (11.2%) developed RBP postoperatively. We finally selected 8 radiomics features from 1316 features extracted from each segmented image to determine the rad-score. Multivariate analysis revealed that the rad-score plus bone mineral density, intravertebral cleft, and thoracolumbar fascia injury were independent factors of RBP. Our nomograms based on these factors demonstrated good discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility in both training and validation cohorts. Furthermore, it achieved better performance than the rad-score itself, as well as the nomogram only incorporating regular features. CONCLUSION We developed and validated a nomogram incorporating the rad-score and regular features for preoperative prediction of the RBP risk in OVCF patients, which contributed to improved surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
AIMS Despite the promising results achieved by radiomics prognostic models for various clinical applications, multiple challenges still need to be addressed. The two main limitations of radiomics prognostic models include information limitation owing to single imaging modalities and the selection of optimum machine learning and feature selection methods for the considered modality and clinical outcome. In this work, we applied several feature selection and machine learning methods to single-modality positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) and multimodality PET/CT fusion to identify the best combinations for different radiomics modalities towards overall survival prediction in non-small cell lung cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A PET/CT dataset from The Cancer Imaging Archive, including subjects from two independent institutions (87 and 95 patients), was used in this study. Each cohort was used once as training and once as a test, followed by averaging of the results. ComBat harmonisation was used to address the centre effect. In our proposed radiomics framework, apart from single-modality PET and CT models, multimodality radiomics models were developed using multilevel (feature and image levels) fusion. Two different methods were considered for the feature-level strategy, including concatenating PET and CT features into a single feature set and alternatively averaging them. For image-level fusion, we used three different fusion methods, namely wavelet fusion, guided filtering-based fusion and latent low-rank representation fusion. In the proposed prognostic modelling framework, combinations of four feature selection and seven machine learning methods were applied to all radiomics modalities (two single and five multimodalities), machine learning hyper-parameters were optimised and finally the models were evaluated in the test cohort with 1000 repetitions via bootstrapping. Feature selection and machine learning methods were selected as popular techniques in the literature, supported by open source software in the public domain and their ability to cope with continuous time-to-event survival data. Multifactor ANOVA was used to carry out variability analysis and the proportion of total variance explained by radiomics modality, feature selection and machine learning methods was calculated by a bias-corrected effect size estimate known as ω2. RESULTS Optimum feature selection and machine learning methods differed owing to the applied radiomics modality. However, minimum depth (MD) as feature selection and Lasso and Elastic-Net regularized generalized linear model (glmnet) as machine learning method had the highest average results. Results from the ANOVA test indicated that the variability that each factor (radiomics modality, feature selection and machine learning methods) introduces to the performance of models is case specific, i.e. variances differ regarding different radiomics modalities and fusion strategies. Overall, the greatest proportion of variance was explained by machine learning, except for models in feature-level fusion strategy. CONCLUSION The identification of optimal feature selection and machine learning methods is a crucial step in developing sound and accurate radiomics risk models. Furthermore, optimum methods are case specific, differing due to the radiomics modality and fusion strategy used.

We developed multi-modality radiomic models by integrating information extracted from18F-FDG PET and CT images using feature- and image-level fusions, toward improved prognosis for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients. Two independent cohorts of NSCLC patients from two institutions (87 and 95 patients) were cycled as training and testing datasets. Fusion approaches were applied at two levels, namely feature- and image-levels. For feature-level fusion, radiomic features were extracted individually from CT and PET images and concatenated. Alternatively, radiomic features extracted separately from CT and PET images were averaged. For image-level fusion, wavelet fusion was utilized and tuned with two parameters, namely CT weight and Wavelet Band Pass Filtering Ratio. Clinical and combined clinical + radiomic models were developed. Gray level discretization was performed at 3 different levels (16, 32 and 64) and 225 radiomics features were extracted. Overall survival (OS) was considered as the endpoint. For feature reduction, correlated (redundant) features were excluded using Spearman's correlation, and best combination of top ten features with highest concordance-indices (via univariate Cox model) were selected in each model for further multivariate Cox model. Moreover, prognostic score's median, obtained from the training cohort, was used intact in the testing cohort as a threshold to classify patients into low- versus high-risk groups, and log-rank test was applied to assess differences between the Kaplan-Meier curves. Overall, while models based on feature-level fusion strategy showed limited superiority over single-modalities, image-level fusion strategy significantly outperformed both single-modality and feature-level fusion strategies. As such, the clinical model (C-index = 0.656) outperformed all models from single-modality and feature-level strategies, but was outperformed by certain models from image-level fusion strategy. Our findings indicated that image-level fusion multi-modality radiomics models outperformed single-modality, feature-level fusion, and clinical models for OS prediction of NSCLC patients.

[PMID: 34029404 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-based bone mineral density testing is standard to diagnose osteoporosis to detect individuals at high risk of fracture. A radiomics approach to extract quantifiable texture features from DXA hip images may improve hip fracture prediction without additional costs. Here, we investigated whether bone radiomics scores from DXA hip images could improve hip fracture prediction in a community-based cohort of older women. The derivation set (143 women who sustained hip fracture [mean age 73 years, time to fracture median 2.1 years] versus 290 age-matched women [mean age 73 years] who did not sustain hip fracture during follow-up [median 5.5 years]) were split into the train set (75%) and the test set (25% hold-out set). Among various models using 14 selected features out of 300 texture features mined from DXA hip images in the train set, random forest model was selected as the best model to build a bone radiomics score (range 0 to 100) based on the performance in the test set. In a community-based cohort (2029 women, mean age 71 years) as the clinical validation set, the bone radiomics score was calculated using a model fitted in the train set. A total of 34 participants (1.7%) sustained hip fracture during median follow-up of 5.4 years (mean bone radiomics score 40 ± 16 versus 28 ± 12 in non-fractured, p < 0.001). A one-point bone radiomics score increment was associated with a 4% elevated risk of incident hip fracture (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.04, p = 0.001) after adjustment for age, body mass index (BMI), previous history of fracture, and femoral neck T-score, with improved model fit when added to covariates (likelihood ratio chi-square 10.74, p = 0.001). The association between bone radiomics score with incident hip fracture remained robust (aHR = 1.06, p < 0.001) after adjustment for FRAX hip fracture probability. Bone radiomics scores estimated from texture features of DXA hip images have the potential to improve hip fracture prediction. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Effect of Patient Clinical Variables in Osteoporosis Classification Using Hip X-rays in Deep Learning Analysis. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 57:medicina57080846. [PMID: 34441052 PMCID: PMC8398956 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57080846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: A few deep learning studies have reported that combining image features with patient variables enhanced identification accuracy compared with image-only models. However, previous studies have not statistically reported the additional effect of patient variables on the image-only models. This study aimed to statistically evaluate the osteoporosis identification ability of deep learning by combining hip radiographs with patient variables. Materials andMethods: We collected a dataset containing 1699 images from patients who underwent skeletal-bone-mineral density measurements and hip radiography at a general hospital from 2014 to 2021. Osteoporosis was assessed from hip radiographs using convolutional neural network (CNN) models (ResNet18, 34, 50, 101, and 152). We also investigated ensemble models with patient clinical variables added to each CNN. Accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, F1 score, and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated as performance metrics. Furthermore, we statistically compared the accuracy of the image-only model with that of an ensemble model that included images plus patient factors, including effect size for each performance metric. Results: All metrics were improved in the ResNet34 ensemble model compared with the image-only model. The AUC score in the ensemble model was significantly improved compared with the image-only model (difference 0.004; 95% CI 0.002–0.0007; p = 0.0004, effect size: 0.871). Conclusions: This study revealed the additional effect of patient variables in identification of osteoporosis using deep CNNs with hip radiographs. Our results provided evidence that the patient variables had additive synergistic effects on the image in osteoporosis identification.

Abstract
Radiomics is the quantitative analysis of standard-of-care medical imaging; the information obtained can be applied within clinical decision support systems to create diagnostic, prognostic, and/or predictive models. Radiomics analysis can be performed by extracting hand-crafted radiomics features or via deep learning algorithms. Radiomics has evolved tremendously in the last decade, becoming a bridge between imaging and precision medicine. Radiomics exploits sophisticated image analysis tools coupled with statistical elaboration to extract the wealth of information hidden inside medical images, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and/or Positron emission tomography (PET) scans, routinely performed in the everyday clinical practice. Many efforts have been devoted in recent years to the standardization and validation of radiomics approaches, to demonstrate their usefulness and robustness beyond any reasonable doubts. However, the booming of publications and commercial applications of radiomics approaches warrant caution and proper understanding of all the factors involved to avoid "scientific pollution" and overly enthusiastic claims by researchers and clinicians alike. For these reasons the present review aims to be a guidebook of sorts, describing the process of radiomics, its pitfalls, challenges, and opportunities, along with its ability to improve clinical decision-making, from oncology and respiratory medicine to pharmacological and genotyping studies.

Uncontrolled Confounders May Lead to False or Overvalued Radiomics Signature: A Proof of Concept Using Survival Analysis in a Multicenter Cohort of Kidney Cancer. Front Oncol 2021; 11:638185. [PMID: 34123789 PMCID: PMC8191735 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.638185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2020] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose We aimed to explore potential confounders of prognostic radiomics signature predicting survival outcomes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients and demonstrate how to control for them. Materials and Methods Preoperative contrast enhanced abdominal CT scan of ccRCC patients along with pathological grade/stage, gene mutation status, and survival outcomes were retrieved from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA)/The Cancer Genome Atlas-Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (TCGA-KIRC) database, a publicly available dataset. A semi-automatic segmentation method was applied to segment ccRCC tumors, and 1,160 radiomics features were extracted from each segmented tumor on the CT images. Non-parametric principal component decomposition (PCD) and unsupervised hierarchical clustering were applied to build the radiomics signature models. The factors confounding the radiomics signature were investigated and controlled sequentially. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analyses were performed to test the association between radiomics signatures and survival outcomes. Results 183 patients of TCGA-KIRC cohort with available imaging, pathological, and clinical outcomes were included in this study. All 1,160 radiomics features were included in the first radiomics signature. Three additional radiomics signatures were then modelled in successive steps removing redundant radiomics features first, removing radiomics features biased by CT slice thickness second, and removing radiomics features dependent on tumor size third. The final radiomics signature model was the most parsimonious, unbiased by CT slice thickness, and independent of tumor size. This final radiomics signature stratified the cohort into radiomics phenotypes that are different by cancer-specific and recurrence-free survival; HR (95% CI) = 3.0 (1.5-5.7), p <0.05 and HR (95% CI) = 6.6 (3.1-14.1), p <0.05, respectively. Conclusion Radiomics signature can be confounded by multiple factors, including feature redundancy, image acquisition parameters like slice thickness, and tumor size. Attention to and proper control for these potential confounders are necessary for a reliable and clinically valuable radiomics signature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We evaluate the feasibility of treatment response prediction using MRI-based pre-, post-, and delta-radiomic features for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients treated by neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 53 LARC patients divided into a training set (Center#1, n = 36) and external validation set (Center#2, n = 17). T2-weighted (T2W) MRI was acquired for all patients, 2 weeks before and 4 weeks after nCRT. Ninety-six radiomic features, including intensity, morphological and second- and high-order texture features were extracted from segmented 3D volumes from T2W MRI. All features were harmonized using ComBat algorithm. Max-Relevance-Min-Redundancy (MRMR) algorithm was used as feature selector and k-nearest neighbors (KNN), Naïve Bayes (NB), Random forests (RF), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) algorithms were used as classifiers. The evaluation was performed using the area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. RESULTS In univariate analysis, the highest AUC in pre-, post-, and delta-radiomic features were 0.78, 0.70, and 0.71, for GLCM_IMC1, shape (surface area and volume) and GLSZM_GLNU features, respectively. In multivariate analysis, RF and KNN achieved the highest AUC (0.85 ± 0.04 and 0.81 ± 0.14, respectively) among pre- and post-treatment features. The highest AUC was achieved for the delta-radiomic-based RF model (0.96 ± 0.01) followed by NB (0.96 ± 0.04). Overall. Delta-radiomics model, outperformed both pre- and post-treatment features (P-value <0.05). CONCLUSION Multivariate analysis of delta-radiomic T2W MRI features using machine learning algorithms could potentially be used for response prediction in LARC patients undergoing nCRT. We also observed that multivariate analysis of delta-radiomic features using RF classifiers can be used as powerful biomarkers for response prediction in LARC.

Abstract
Objectives To develop a radiomics model based on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) to predict the lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and provide decision-making support for clinicians. Patients and Methods This retrospective study enrolled 334 patients with surgically resected and pathologically confirmed ESCC, including 96 patients with LVI and 238 patients without LVI. All enrolled patients were randomly divided into a training cohort and a testing cohort at a ratio of 7:3, with the training cohort containing 234 patients (68 patients with LVI and 166 without LVI) and the testing cohort containing 100 patients (28 patients with LVI and 72 without LVI). All patients underwent preoperative CECT scans within 2 weeks before operation. Quantitative radiomics features were extracted from CECT images, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was applied to select radiomics features. Logistic regression (Logistic), support vector machine (SVM), and decision tree (Tree) methods were separately used to establish radiomics models to predict the LVI status in ESCC, and the best model was selected to calculate Radscore, which combined with two clinical CT predictors to build a combined model. The clinical model was also developed by using logistic regression. The receiver characteristic curve (ROC) and decision curve (DCA) analysis were used to evaluate the model performance in predicting the LVI status in ESCC. Results In the radiomics model, Sphericity and gray-level non-uniformity (GLNU) were the most significant radiomics features for predicting LVI. In the clinical model, the maximum tumor thickness based on CECT (cThick) in patients with LVI was significantly greater than that in patients without LVI (P<0.001). Patients with LVI had higher clinical N stage based on CECT (cN stage) than patients without LVI (P<0.001). The ROC analysis showed that both the radiomics model (AUC values were 0.847 and 0.826 in the training and testing cohort, respectively) and the combined model (0.876 and 0.867, respectively) performed better than the clinical model (0.775 and 0.798, respectively), with the combined model exhibiting the best performance. Conclusions The combined model incorporating radiomics features and clinical CT predictors may potentially predict the LVI status in ESCC and provide support for clinical treatment decisions.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and its clinical consequence, bone fracture, is a multifactorial disease that has been the object of extensive research. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have enabled the field of artificial intelligence (AI) to make impressive breakthroughs in complex data environments where human capacity to identify high-dimensional relationships is limited. The field of osteoporosis is one such domain, notwithstanding technical and clinical concerns regarding the application of ML methods. This qualitative review is intended to outline some of these concerns and to inform stakeholders interested in applying AI for improved management of osteoporosis. A systemic search in PubMed and Web of Science resulted in 89 studies for inclusion in the review. These covered one or more of four main areas in osteoporosis management: bone properties assessment (n = 13), osteoporosis classification (n = 34), fracture detection (n = 32), and risk prediction (n = 14). Reporting and methodological quality was determined by means of a 12-point checklist. In general, the studies were of moderate quality with a wide range (mode score 6, range 2 to 11). Major limitations were identified in a significant number of studies. Incomplete reporting, especially over model selection, inadequate splitting of data, and the low proportion of studies with external validation were among the most frequent problems. However, the use of images for opportunistic osteoporosis diagnosis or fracture detection emerged as a promising approach and one of the main contributions that ML could bring to the osteoporosis field. Efforts to develop ML-based models for identifying novel fracture risk factors and improving fracture prediction are additional promising lines of research. Some studies also offered insights into the potential for model-based decision-making. Finally, to avoid some of the common pitfalls, the use of standardized checklists in developing and sharing the results of ML models should be encouraged. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Machine learning-based prognostic modeling using clinical data and quantitative radiomic features from chest CT images in COVID-19 patients. Comput Biol Med 2021; 132:104304. [PMID: 33691201 PMCID: PMC7925235 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2021.104304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 02/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop prognostic models for survival (alive or deceased status) prediction of COVID-19 patients using clinical data (demographics and history, laboratory tests, visual scoring by radiologists) and lung/lesion radiomic features extracted from chest CT images. METHODS Overall, 152 patients were enrolled in this study protocol. These were divided into 106 training/validation and 46 test datasets (untouched during training), respectively. Radiomic features were extracted from the segmented lungs and infectious lesions separately from chest CT images. Clinical data, including patients' history and demographics, laboratory tests and radiological scores were also collected. Univariate analysis was first performed (q-value reported after false discovery rate (FDR) correction) to determine the most predictive features among all imaging and clinical data. Prognostic modeling of survival was performed using radiomic features and clinical data, separately or in combination. Maximum relevance minimum redundancy (MRMR) and XGBoost were used for feature selection and classification. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were used to assess the prognostic performance of the models on the test datasets. RESULTS For clinical data, cancer comorbidity (q-value < 0.01), consciousness level (q-value < 0.05) and radiological score involved zone (q-value < 0.02) were found to have high correlated features with outcome. Oxygen saturation (AUC = 0.73, q-value < 0.01) and Blood Urea Nitrogen (AUC = 0.72, q-value = 0.72) were identified as high clinical features. For lung radiomic features, SAHGLE (AUC = 0.70) and HGLZE (AUC = 0.67) from GLSZM were identified as most prognostic features. Amongst lesion radiomic features, RLNU from GLRLM (AUC = 0.73), HGLZE from GLSZM (AUC = 0.73) had the highest performance. In multivariate analysis, combining lung, lesion and clinical features was determined to provide the most accurate prognostic model (AUC = 0.95 ± 0.029 (95%CI: 0.95-0.96), accuracy = 0.88 ± 0.046 (95% CI: 0.88-0.89), sensitivity = 0.88 ± 0.066 (95% CI = 0.87-0.9) and specificity = 0.89 ± 0.07 (95% CI = 0.87-0.9)). CONCLUSION Combination of radiomic features and clinical data can effectively predict outcome in COVID-19 patients. The developed model has significant potential for improved management of COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are serious health problems. We conducted a randomized, open-label, phase I/IIa study to determine the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) and teriparatide (parathyroid hormone 1-34) in OVCFs. Twenty subjects with recent OVCFs were randomized to teriparatide (20 μg/day, daily subcutaneous injection for 6 months) treatment alone or combined treatment of WJ-MSCs (intramedullary [4 × 107 cells] injection and intravenous [2 × 108 cells] injection after 1 week) and teriparatide (20 μg/day, daily subcutaneous injection for 6 months). Fourteen subjects (teriparatide alone, n = 7; combined treatment, n = 7) completed follow-up assessment (visual analog scale [VAS], Oswestry Disability Index [ODI], Short Form-36 [SF-36], bone mineral density [BMD], bone turnover measured by osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry [DXA], computed tomography [CT]). Our results show that (a) combined treatment with WJ-MSCs and teriparatide is feasible and tolerable for the patients with OVCFs; (b) the mean VAS, ODI, and SF-36 scores significantly improved in the combined treatment group; (c) the level of bone turnover markers were not significantly different between the two groups; (d) BMD T-scores of spine and hip by DXA increased in both control and experimental groups without a statistical difference; and (e) baseline spine CT images and follow-up CT images at 6 and 12 months showed better microarchitecture in the combined treatment group. Our results indicate that combined treatment of WJ-MSCs and teriparatide is feasible and tolerable and has a clinical benefit for fracture healing by promoting bone architecture.

PLoS One 2021; 16:e0247330. [PMID: 33661911 PMCID: PMC7932154 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0247330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Osteoporosis has increased and developed into a serious public health concern worldwide. Despite the high prevalence, osteoporosis is silent before major fragility fracture and the osteoporosis screening rate is low. Abdomen-pelvic CT (APCT) is one of the most widely conducted medical tests. Artificial intelligence and radiomics analysis have recently been spotlighted. This is the first study to evaluate the prediction performance of femoral osteoporosis using machine-learning analysis with radiomics features and APCT. Materials and methods 500 patients (M: F = 70:430; mean age, 66.5 ± 11.8yrs; range, 50–96 years) underwent both dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and APCT within 1 month. The volume of interest of the left proximal femur was extracted and 41 radiomics features were calculated using 3D volume of interest analysis. Top 10 importance radiomic features were selected by the intraclass correlation coefficient and random forest feature selection. Study cohort was randomly divided into 70% of the samples as the training cohort and the remaining 30% of the sample as the validation cohort. Prediction performance of machine-learning analysis was calculated using diagnostic test and comparison of area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed between training and validation cohorts. Results The osteoporosis prevalence of this study cohort was 20.8%. The prediction performance of the machine-learning analysis to diagnose osteoporosis in the training and validation cohorts were as follows; accuracy, 92.9% vs. 92.7%; sensitivity, 86.6% vs. 80.0%; specificity, 94.5% vs. 95.8%; positive predictive value, 78.4% vs. 82.8%; and negative predictive value, 96.7% vs. 95.0%. The AUC to predict osteoporosis in the training and validation cohorts were 95.9% [95% confidence interval (CI), 93.7%-98.1%] and 96.0% [95% CI, 93.2%-98.8%], respectively, without significant differences (P = 0.962). Conclusion Prediction performance of femoral osteoporosis using machine-learning analysis with radiomics features and APCT showed high validity with more than 93% accuracy, specificity, and negative predictive value.

A Machine Learning Model Based on PET/CT Radiomics and Clinical Characteristics Predicts ALK Rearrangement Status in Lung Adenocarcinoma. Front Oncol 2021; 11:603882. [PMID: 33738250 PMCID: PMC7962599 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.603882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement status examination has been widely used in clinic for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in order to find patients that can be treated with targeted ALK inhibitors. This study intended to non-invasively predict the ALK rearrangement status in lung adenocarcinomas by developing a machine learning model that combines PET/CT radiomic features and clinical characteristics. Methods Five hundred twenty-six patients of lung adenocarcinoma with PET/CT scan examination were enrolled, including 109 positive and 417 negative patients for ALK rearrangements from February 2016 to March 2019. The Artificial Intelligence Kit software was used to extract radiomic features of PET/CT images. The maximum relevance minimum redundancy (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression were further employed to select the most distinguishable radiomic features to construct predictive models. The mRMR is a feature selection method, which selects the features with high correlation to the pathological results (maximum correlation), meanwhile retain the features with minimum correlation between them (minimum redundancy). LASSO is a statistical formula whose main purpose is the feature selection and regularization of data model. LASSO method regularizes model parameters by shrinking the regression coefficients, reducing some of them to zero. The feature selection phase occurs after the shrinkage, where every non-zero value is selected to be used in the model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the performance of the models, and the performance of different models was compared by the DeLong test. Results A total of 22 radiomic features were extracted from PET/CT images for constructing the PET/CT radiomic model, and majority of these features used were based on CT features (20 out of 22), only 2 PET features were included (PET percentile 10 and PET difference entropy). Moreover, three clinical features associated with ALK mutation (age, burr and pleural effusion) were also employed to construct a combined model of PET/CT and clinical model. We found that this combined model PET/CT-clinical model has a significant advantage to predict the ALK mutation status in the training group (AUC = 0.87) and the testing group (AUC = 0.88) compared with the clinical model alone in the training group (AUC = 0.76) and the testing group (AUC = 0.74) respectively. However, there is no significant difference between the combined model and PET/CT radiomic model. Conclusions This study demonstrated that PET/CT radiomics-based machine learning model has potential to be used as a non-invasive diagnostic method to help diagnose ALK mutation status for lung adenocarcinoma patients in the clinic.

T2-weighted Dixon MRI of the spine: A feasibility study of quantitative vertebral bone marrow analysis. Diagn Interv Imaging 2021; 102:431-438. [PMID: 33612414 DOI: 10.1016/j.diii.2021.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 01/17/2021] [Accepted: 01/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the measurements of fat fraction (FF) and in-phase vs. opposed-phase ratio between two-dimensional T2-weighted (T2W) spin-echo (SE) Dixon and three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted (T1W) volume interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) Dixon sequences in malignant vertebral lesions and normal vertebral bone marrow. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients with focal vertebral malignancies (20 men, mean age, 67.3±9.4 [SD] years; age range: 41-84 years) and 30 patients without malignant spinal disease (11 men, mean age, 70.1±12.9 [SD]; age range: 53-93 years) were retrospectively included. Each patient underwent spine MRI at 1.5 Tesla including T2W SE and T1W VIBE 2-point Dixon sequences. Two readers independently performed 3D-volume of interest (VOI) and region of interest (ROI)-based FF and IO-ratio measurements of malignant lesions and normal vertebrae. Student t-test, Pearson correlation (r) test and two-way mixed model intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to compare measurements. RESULTS T2W SE and T1W VIBE mean FF and IO-ratio were significantly smaller in malignancy compared to normal marrow, but there were significant differences of paired measurement mean values between T2W SE and T1W VIBE Dixon parameters in malignant lesions T2W SE VOI FF=9%, T2W SE ROI FF=7%, T2W SE IO-ratio=4% vs. T1W VIBE VOI FF=11%, T1W VIBE ROI FF=9%, T1W VIBE IO-ratio=-2%, and in normal vertebrae T2W SE VOI FF=74%, T2W SE ROI FF=77%, T2W SE IO-ratio=51% vs. T1W VIBE VOI FF=67%, T1W VIBE ROI FF=73%, T1W VIBE IO-ratio=58% (each P comparing the paired T2W TSE and T1W VIBE parameter, respectively<0.001). There was excellent positive correlation between T2W SE and T1W VIBE-FF (r≥0.99) and VOI and ROI FF measurements for each sequence (r≥0.99). Inter-reader agreement was excellent for all measurements (ICC≥0.94 for all). CONCLUSION Calculation of T2W SE Dixon derived FF is feasible and gave valid results that help discriminate between malignant vertebral lesions and normal vertebral bone marrow.

Abstract
Background In this COVID-19 pandemic, the differential diagnosis of viral pneumonia is still challenging. We aimed to assess the classification performance of computed tomography (CT)-based CT signs and radiomics features for discriminating COVID-19 and influenza pneumonia. Methods A total of 154 patients with confirmed viral pneumonia (COVID-19: 89 cases, influenza pneumonia: 65 cases) were collected retrospectively in this study. Pneumonia signs and radiomics features were extracted from the initial unenhanced chest CT images to build independent and combined models. The predictive performance of the radiomics model, CT sign model, the combined model was constructed based on the whole dataset and internally invalidated by using 1000-times bootstrap. Diagnostic performance of the models was assessed via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results The combined models consisted of 4 significant CT signs and 7 selected features and demonstrated better discrimination performance between COVID-19 and influenza pneumonia than the single radiomics model. For the radiomics model, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.888 (sensitivity, 86.5%; specificity, 78.4%; accuracy, 83.1%), and the AUC was 0.906 (sensitivity, 86.5%; specificity, 81.5%; accuracy, 84.4%) in the CT signs model. After combining CT signs and radiomics features, AUC of the combined model was 0.959 (sensitivity, 89.9%; specificity, 90.7%; accuracy, 90.3%). Conclusions CT-based radiomics combined with signs might be a potential method for distinguishing COVID-19 and influenza pneumonia with satisfactory performance.

Diagn Interv Imaging 2021; 102:421-430. [PMID: 33549510 DOI: 10.1016/j.diii.2021.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2020] [Revised: 01/10/2021] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of percutaneous vertebral cementoplasty (PVC) as the first-line treatment for traumatic thoracolumbar fractures within an ankylosed spinal segment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-one patients (15 men, 16 women; mean age: 79.2±11 [SD] years; age range: 66-95 years) with thoracolumbar fractures within an ankylosed spine segment without neurological impairment treated with PVC were retrospectively evaluated. All patients were controlled at six weeks and one year after PVC. Ankylosing conditions, fractures sites and types, radiological consolidation, spinal complications were assessed. Anterior/posterior vertebral height ratios were measured before and after PVC. Postoperative pain relief and treatment success (radiological fracture consolidation) rates were considered. RESULTS The 31 patients had a total of 39 fractures (19 stable [49%], 20 unstable [51%]) treated with PVC. Primary success rate of PVC (initial fracture consolidation without complication) was 61% (19/31). Seven patients (7/31; 23%) exhibited new fractures, and the secondary success rate of PVC (global fracture consolidation one year after repeat PVC) was 87% (34/39). Global consolidation rates of unstable fractures were 85% (17/20) of treated levels. Pain score was null in 84% patients (26/31) one year after PVC. There were no significant differences between pre-PVC (0.62±0.18 [SD]; range: 0.22-0.88) and post-PVC (0.60±0.18 [SD]; range: 0.35-0.88) vertebral height ratios (P=0.94). CONCLUSION PVC conveys a high overall success rate and effectively controls pain in patients with vertebral fractures within ankylosed spine segments.

MuSA: a graphical user interface for multi-OMICs data integration in radiogenomic studies. Sci Rep 2021; 11:1550. [PMID: 33452365 PMCID: PMC7811020 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-81200-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Accepted: 01/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Analysis of large-scale omics data along with biomedical images has gaining a huge interest in predicting phenotypic conditions towards personalized medicine. Multiple layers of investigations such as genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, have led to high dimensionality and heterogeneity of data. Multi-omics data integration can provide meaningful contribution to early diagnosis and an accurate estimate of prognosis and treatment in cancer. Some multi-layer data structures have been developed to integrate multi-omics biological information, but none of these has been developed and evaluated to include radiomic data. We proposed to use MultiAssayExperiment (MAE) as an integrated data structure to combine multi-omics data facilitating the exploration of heterogeneous data. We improved the usability of the MAE, developing a Multi-omics Statistical Approaches (MuSA) tool that uses a Shiny graphical user interface, able to simplify the management and the analysis of radiogenomic datasets. The capabilities of MuSA were shown using public breast cancer datasets from TCGA-TCIA databases. MuSA architecture is modular and can be divided in Pre-processing and Downstream analysis. The pre-processing section allows data filtering and normalization. The downstream analysis section contains modules for data science such as correlation, clustering (i.e., heatmap) and feature selection methods. The results are dynamically shown in MuSA. MuSA tool provides an easy-to-use way to create, manage and analyze radiogenomic data. The application is specifically designed to guide no-programmer researchers through different computational steps. Integration analysis is implemented in a modular structure, making MuSA an easily expansible open-source software.

Clin Physiol Funct Imaging 2020; 41:113-127. [PMID: 33316137 DOI: 10.1111/cpf.12686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2019] [Revised: 11/01/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The evidence-based medicine allows the physician to evaluate the risk-benefit ratio of a treatment through setting and data. Risk-based choices can be done by the doctor using different information. With the emergence of new technologies, a large amount of data is recorded offering interesting perspectives with machine learning for predictive data analytics. Machine learning is an ensemble of methods that process data to model a learning problem. Supervised machine learning algorithms consist in using annotated data to construct the model. This category allows to solve prediction data analytics problems. In this paper, we detail the use of supervised machine learning algorithms for predictive data analytics problems in medicine. In the medical field, data can be split into two categories: medical images and other data. For brevity, our review deals with any kind of medical data excluding images. In this article, we offer a discussion around four supervised machine learning approaches: information-based, similarity-based, probability-based and error-based approaches. Each method is illustrated with detailed cardiovascular and nuclear medicine examples. Our review shows that model ensemble (ME) and support vector machine (SVM) methods are the most popular. SVM, ME and artificial neural networks often lead to better results than those given by other algorithms. In the coming years, more studies, more data, more tools and more methods will, for sure, be proposed.
