Predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase status among adult patients with diffuse glioma using patient characteristics, radiomic features, and magnetic resonance imaging: Multi-modal analysis by variable vision transformer. Magn Reson Imaging 2024; 111:266-276. [PMID: 38815636 DOI: 10.1016/j.mri.2024.05.012] [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: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the performance of the multimodal model, termed variable Vision Transformer (vViT), in the task of predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) status among adult patients with diffuse glioma. MATERIALS AND METHODS vViT was designed to predict IDH status using patient characteristics (sex and age), radiomic features, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images (CE-T1WI). Radiomic features were extracted from each enhancing tumor (ET), necrotic tumor core (NCR), and peritumoral edematous/infiltrated tissue (ED). CE-T1WI were split into four images and input to vViT. In the training, internal test, and external test, 271 patients with 1070 images (535 IDH wildtype, 535 IDH mutant), 35 patients with 194 images (97 IDH wildtype, 97 IDH mutant), and 291 patients with 872 images (436 IDH wildtype, 436 IDH mutant) were analyzed, respectively. Metrics including accuracy and AUC-ROC were calculated for the internal and external test datasets. Permutation importance analysis combined with the Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare inputs. RESULTS For the internal test dataset, vViT correctly predicted IDH status for all patients. For the external test dataset, an accuracy of 0.935 (95% confidence interval; 0.913-0.945) and AUC-ROC of 0.887 (0.798-0.956) were obtained. For both internal and external test datasets, CE-T1WI ET radiomic features and patient characteristics had higher importance than other inputs (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The vViT has the potential to be a competent model in predicting IDH status among adult patients with diffuse glioma. Our results indicate that age, sex, and CE-T1WI ET radiomic features have key information in estimating IDH status.

Two-Stage Training Framework Using Multicontrast MRI Radiomics for IDH Mutation Status Prediction in Glioma. Radiol Artif Intell 2024; 6:e230218. [PMID: 38775670 PMCID: PMC11294953 DOI: 10.1148/ryai.230218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Purpose To develop a radiomics framework for preoperative MRI-based prediction of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status, a crucial glioma prognostic indicator. Materials and Methods Radiomics features (shape, first-order statistics, and texture) were extracted from the whole tumor or the combination of nonenhancing, necrosis, and edema regions. Segmentation masks were obtained via the federated tumor segmentation tool or the original data source. Boruta, a wrapper-based feature selection algorithm, identified relevant features. Addressing the imbalance between mutated and wild-type cases, multiple prediction models were trained on balanced data subsets using random forest or XGBoost and assembled to build the final classifier. The framework was evaluated using retrospective MRI scans from three public datasets (The Cancer Imaging Archive [TCIA, 227 patients], the University of California San Francisco Preoperative Diffuse Glioma MRI dataset [UCSF, 495 patients], and the Erasmus Glioma Database [EGD, 456 patients]) and internal datasets collected from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW, 356 patients), New York University (NYU, 136 patients), and University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM, 174 patients). TCIA and UTSW served as separate training sets, while the remaining data constituted the test set (1617 or 1488 testing cases, respectively). Results The best performing models trained on the TCIA dataset achieved area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values of 0.89 for UTSW, 0.86 for NYU, 0.93 for UWM, 0.94 for UCSF, and 0.88 for EGD test sets. The best performing models trained on the UTSW dataset achieved slightly higher AUCs: 0.92 for TCIA, 0.88 for NYU, 0.96 for UWM, 0.93 for UCSF, and 0.90 for EGD. Conclusion This MRI radiomics-based framework shows promise for accurate preoperative prediction of IDH mutation status in patients with glioma.

World Neurosurg 2024; 186:e7-e19. [PMID: 37995996 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.11.061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) encompass a set of tumors, and those tumors with H3K27 M mutation carry a poor prognosis. In recent years, machine learning (ML)-based radiomics have shown promising results in predicting gene mutation status non-invasively. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively evaluate the diagnostic performance of ML-based magnetic resonance imaging radiomics in predicting H3K27 M mutation status in DMG patients. METHODS A systematic search was conducted using relevant keywords in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to May 2023. Original studies evaluating the diagnostic performance of ML models in predicting H3K27 M mutation status in DMGs were enrolled. Quality assessment of the enrolled studies was conducted using QUADAS-2. Data were analyzed using STATA version 17.0 to calculate pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic score, and diagnostic odds ratio. RESULTS A total of 13 studies, including 12 retrospectives and 1 both retrospective and prospective study, enrolled 1510 (male = 777) DMG patients. Six studies underwent meta-analysis which showed a pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic score, and diagnostic odds ratio of 0.91 (95% CI 0.77-0.97), 0.81 (95% CI 0.73-0.88), 4.86 (95% CI 3.25-7.24), 0.11 (95% CI 0.04-0.29), 3.75 (95% CI 2.62-4.88), and 42.61 (95% CI 13.77-131.87), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Non-invasive prediction of H3K27 M mutation status in patients with DMGs using magnetic resonance imaging radiomics is a promising tool with good diagnostic performance. However, the pooled metrics had a wide confidence interval, which required further studies to enhance ML algorithms' accuracy and facilitate their integration into daily clinical practice.

Abstract
The specific genetic subtypes that gliomas exhibit result in variable clinical courses and the need to involve multidisciplinary teams of neurologists, epileptologists, neurooncologists and neurosurgeons. Currently, the diagnosis of gliomas pivots mainly around the preliminary radiological findings and the subsequent definitive surgical diagnosis (via surgical sampling). Radiomics and radiogenomics present a potential to precisely diagnose and predict survival and treatment responses, via morphological, textural, and functional features derived from MRI data, as well as genomic data. In spite of their advantages, it is still lacking standardized processes of feature extraction and analysis methodology among different research groups, which have made external validations infeasible. Radiomics and radiogenomics can be used to better understand the genomic basis of gliomas, such as tumor spatial heterogeneity, treatment response, molecular classifications and tumor microenvironment immune infiltration. These novel techniques have also been used to predict histological features, grade or even overall survival in gliomas. In this review, workflows of radiomics and radiogenomics are elucidated, with recent research on machine learning or artificial intelligence in glioma.

Radiomics for residual tumour detection and prognosis in newly diagnosed glioblastoma based on postoperative [ 11C] methionine PET and T1c-w MRI. Sci Rep 2024; 14:4576. [PMID: 38403632 PMCID: PMC10894870 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-55092-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Personalized treatment strategies based on non-invasive biomarkers have potential to improve patient management in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). The residual tumour burden after surgery in GBM patients is a prognostic imaging biomarker. However, in clinical patient management, its assessment is a manual and time-consuming process that is at risk of inter-rater variability. Furthermore, the prediction of patient outcome prior to radiotherapy may identify patient subgroups that could benefit from escalated radiotherapy doses. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the capabilities of traditional radiomics and 3D convolutional neural networks for automatic detection of the residual tumour status and to prognosticate time-to-recurrence (TTR) and overall survival (OS) in GBM using postoperative [11C] methionine positron emission tomography (MET-PET) and gadolinium-enhanced T1-w magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On the independent test data, the 3D-DenseNet model based on MET-PET achieved the best performance for residual tumour detection, while the logistic regression model with conventional radiomics features performed best for T1c-w MRI (AUC: MET-PET 0.95, T1c-w MRI 0.78). For the prognosis of TTR and OS, the 3D-DenseNet model based on MET-PET integrated with age and MGMT status achieved the best performance (Concordance-Index: TTR 0.68, OS 0.65). In conclusion, we showed that both deep-learning and conventional radiomics have potential value for supporting image-based assessment and prognosis in GBM. After prospective validation, these models may be considered for treatment personalization.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide an updated overview of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in neuro-oncologic imaging and discuss current barriers to wider clinical adoption. RECENT FINDINGS A wide variety of AI applications in neuro-oncologic imaging have been developed and researched, spanning tasks from pretreatment brain tumor classification and segmentation, preoperative planning, radiogenomics, prognostication and survival prediction, posttreatment surveillance, and differentiating between pseudoprogression and true disease progression. While earlier studies were largely based on data from a single institution, more recent studies have demonstrated that the performance of these algorithms are also effective on external data from other institutions. Nevertheless, most of these algorithms have yet to see widespread clinical adoption, given the lack of prospective studies demonstrating their efficacy and the logistical difficulties involved in clinical implementation. SUMMARY While there has been significant progress in AI and neuro-oncologic imaging, clinical utility remains to be demonstrated. The next wave of progress in this area will be driven by prospective studies measuring outcomes relevant to clinical practice and go beyond retrospective studies which primarily aim to demonstrate high performance.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to assess the value of biomarker based radiomics to predict IDH mutation in gliomas. The patient cohort consists of 160 patients histopathologicaly proven of primary glioma (WHO grades 2-4) from 3 different centers. Methods To quantify the DSC perfusion signal two different mathematical modeling methods were used (Gamma fitting, leakage correction algorithms) considering the assumptions about the compartments contributing in the blood flow between the extra- and intra vascular space. Results The Mean slope of increase (MSI) and the K1 parameter of the bidirectional exchange model exhibited the highest performance with (ACC 74.3% AUROC 74.2%) and (ACC 75% AUROC 70.5%) respectively. Conclusion The proposed framework on DSC-MRI radiogenomics in gliomas has the potential of becoming a reliable diagnostic support tool exploiting the mathematical modeling of the DSC signal to characterize IDH mutation status through a more reproducible and standardized signal analysis scheme for facilitating clinical translation.

Abstract
Imaging is central to the clinical surveillance of brain tumors yet it provides limited insight into a tumor's underlying biology. Machine learning and other mathematical modeling approaches can leverage paired magnetic resonance images and image-localized tissue samples to predict almost any characteristic of a tumor. Image-based modeling takes advantage of the spatial resolution of routine clinical scans and can be applied to measure biological differences within a tumor, changes over time, as well as the variance between patients. This approach is non-invasive and circumvents the intrinsic challenges of inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity that have historically hindered the complete assessment of tumor biology and treatment responsiveness. It can also reveal tumor characteristics that may guide both surgical and medical decision-making in real-time. Here we describe a general framework for the acquisition of image-localized biopsies and the construction of spatiotemporal radiomics models, as well as case examples of how this approach may be used to address clinically relevant questions.

Neuroradiology 2023:10.1007/s00234-023-03154-5. [PMID: 37173578 DOI: 10.1007/s00234-023-03154-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and 1p19q codeletion status are important for managing glioma patients. However, current practice dictates invasive tissue sampling for histomolecular classification. We investigated the current value of dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MR perfusion imaging as a tool for the non-invasive identification of these biomarkers. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, Medline, and Embase up to 2023 was performed, and meta-analyses were conducted. We removed studies employing machine learning models or using multiparametric imaging. We used random-effects standardized mean difference (SMD) and bivariate sensitivity-specificity meta-analyses, calculated the area under the hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and performed meta-regressions using technical acquisition parameters (e.g., time to echo [TE], repetition time [TR]) as moderators to explore sources of heterogeneity. For all estimates, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are provided. RESULTS Sixteen eligible manuscripts comprising 1819 patients were included in the quantitative analyses. IDH mutant (IDHm) gliomas had lower rCBV values compared to their wild-type (IDHwt) counterparts. The highest SMD was observed for rCBVmean, rCBVmax, and rCBV 75th percentile (SMD≈ - 0.8, 95% CI ≈ [- 1.2, - 0.5]). In meta-regression, shorter TEs, shorter TRs, and smaller slice thicknesses were linked to higher absolute SMDs. When discriminating IDHm from IDHwt, the highest pooled specificity was observed for rCBVmean (82% [72, 89]), and the highest pooled sensitivity (i.e., 92% [86, 93]) and AUC (i.e., 0.91) for rCBV 10th percentile. In the bivariate meta-regression, shorter TEs and smaller slice gaps were linked to higher pooled sensitivities. In IDHm, 1p19q codeletion was associated with higher rCBVmean (SMD = 0.9 [0.2, 1.5]) and rCBV 90th percentile (SMD = 0.9 [0.1, 1.7]) values. CONCLUSIONS Identification of vascular signatures predictive of IDH and 1p19q status is a novel promising application of DSC perfusion. Standardization of acquisition protocols and post-processing of DSC perfusion maps are warranted before widespread use in clinical practice.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that equips machines with human-like intelligence and enables them to learn, reason, and solve problems when presented with data in various formats. Neurosurgery is often at the forefront of innovative and disruptive technologies, which have similarly altered the course of acute and chronic diseases. In diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, AI is used to analyze images. The use of robots in the field of neurosurgery is also increasing. In neurointensive care units, AI is used to analyze data and provide care to critically ill patients. Moreover, AI can be used to predict a patient's prognosis. Several AI applications have already been introduced in the field of neurosurgery, and many more are expected in the near future. Ultimately, it is our responsibility to keep pace with this evolution to provide meaningful outcomes and personalize each patient's care. Rather than blindly relying on AI in the future, neurosurgeons should gain a thorough understanding of it and use it to enhance their patient care.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the potential of quantitative radiomic data extracted from conventional MR images in discriminating IDH-mutant grade 4 astrocytomas from IDH-wild-type glioblastomas (GBMs). A cohort of 57 treatment-naïve patients with IDH-mutant grade 4 astrocytomas (n = 23) and IDH-wild-type GBMs (n = 34) underwent anatomical imaging on a 3T MR system with standard parameters. Post-contrast T1-weighted and T2-FLAIR images were co-registered. A semi-automatic segmentation approach was used to generate regions of interest (ROIs) from different tissue components of neoplasms. A total of 1050 radiomic features were extracted from each image. The data were split randomly into training and testing sets. A deep learning-based data augmentation method (CTGAN) was implemented to synthesize 200 datasets from the training sets. A total of 18 classifiers were used to distinguish two genotypes of grade 4 astrocytomas. From generated data using 80% training set, the best discriminatory power was obtained from core tumor regions overlaid on post-contrast T1 using the K-best feature selection algorithm and a Gaussian naïve Bayes classifier (AUC = 0.93, accuracy = 0.92, sensitivity = 1, specificity = 0.86, PR_AUC = 0.92). Similarly, high diagnostic performances were obtained from original and generated data using 50% and 30% training sets. Our findings suggest that conventional MR imaging-based radiomic features combined with machine/deep learning methods may be valuable in discriminating IDH-mutant grade 4 astrocytomas from IDH-wild-type GBMs.

Abstract
AIM OF STUDY Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive brain cancer in adults that kills most patients in the first year due to ineffective treatment. Different clinical, biomedical, and image data features are needed to analyze GBM, increasing complexities. Besides, they lead to weak performances for machine learning models due to ignoring physicians' knowledge. Therefore, this paper proposes a hierarchical model based on Fuzzy C-mean (FCM) clustering, Wrapper feature selection, and twelve classifiers to analyze treatment plans. METHODOLOGY/APPROACH The proposed method finds the effectiveness of previous and current treatment plans, hierarchically determining the best decision for future treatment plans for GBM patients using clinical data, biomedical data, and different image data. A case study is presented based on the Cancer Genome Atlas Glioblastoma Multiforme dataset to prove the effectiveness of the proposed model. This dataset is analyzed using data preprocessing, experts' knowledge, and a feature reduction method based on the Principal Component Analysis. Then, the FCM clustering method is utilized to reinforce classifier learning. OUTCOMES OF STUDY The proposed model finds the best combination of Wrapper feature selection and classifier for each cluster based on different measures, including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F-score, and G-mean according to a hierarchical structure. It has the best performance among other reinforced classifiers. Besides, this model is compatible with real-world medical processes for GBM patients based on clinical, biomedical, and image data.

Abstract
(1) Background: Gliomas are the most common primary brain neoplasms accounting for roughly 40−50% of all malignant primary central nervous system tumors. We aim to develop a deep learning-based framework for automated segmentation and prediction of biomarkers and prognosis in patients with gliomas. (2) Methods: In this retrospective two center study, patients were included if they (1) had a diagnosis of glioma with known surgical histopathology and (2) had preoperative MRI with FLAIR sequence. The entire tumor volume including FLAIR hyperintense infiltrative component and necrotic and cystic components was segmented. Deep learning-based U-Net framework was developed based on symmetric architecture from the 512 × 512 segmented maps from FLAIR as the ground truth mask. (3) Results: The final cohort consisted of 208 patients with mean ± standard deviation of age (years) of 56 ± 15 with M/F of 130/78. DSC of the generated mask was 0.93. Prediction for IDH-1 and MGMT status had a performance of AUC 0.88 and 0.62, respectively. Survival prediction of <18 months demonstrated AUC of 0.75. (4) Conclusions: Our deep learning-based framework can detect and segment gliomas with excellent performance for the prediction of IDH-1 biomarker status and survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Being the most common primary brain tumor, glioblastoma presents as an extremely challenging malignancy to treat with dismal outcomes despite treatment. Varying molecular epidemiology of glioblastoma between patients and intra-tumoral heterogeneity explains the failure of current one-size-fits-all treatment modalities. Radiomics uses machine learning to identify salient features of the tumor on brain imaging and promises patient-specific management in glioblastoma patients. METHODS We performed a comprehensive review of the available literature on studies investigating the role of radiomics and radiogenomics models for the diagnosis, stratification, prognostication as well as treatment planning and monitoring of glioblastoma. RESULTS Classifiers based on a combination of various MRI sequences, genetic information and clinical data can predict non-invasive tumor diagnosis, overall survival and treatment response with reasonable accuracy. However, the use of radiomics for glioblastoma treatment remains in infancy as larger sample sizes, standardized image acquisition and data extraction techniques are needed to develop machine learning models that can be translated effectively into clinical practice. CONCLUSION Radiomics has the potential to transform the scope of glioblastoma management through personalized medicine.

Abstract
Recent developments in glioma categorization based on biological genotypes and application of computational machine learning or deep learning based predictive models using multi-modal MRI biomarkers to assess these genotypes provides potential assurance for optimal and personalized treatment plans and efficacy. Artificial intelligence based quantified assessment of glioma using MRI derived hand-crafted or auto-extracted features have become crucial as genomic alterations can be associated with MRI based phenotypes. This survey integrates all the recent work carried out in state-of-the-art radiomics, and Artificial Intelligence based learning solutions related to molecular diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring with the aim to create a structured resource on radiogenomic analysis of glioma. Challenges such as inter-scanner variability, requirement of benchmark datasets, prospective validations for clinical applicability are discussed with further scope for designing optimal solutions for glioma stratification with immediate recommendations for further diagnostic decisions and personalized treatment plans for glioma patients.

Automated Machine-Learning Framework Integrating Histopathological and Radiological Information for Predicting IDH1 Mutation Status in Glioma. FRONTIERS IN BIOINFORMATICS 2021; 1:718697.

Abstract
Diffuse gliomas are the most common malignant primary brain tumors. Identification of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations aids the diagnostic classification of these tumors and the prediction of their clinical outcomes. While histology continues to play a key role in frozen section diagnosis, as a diagnostic reference and as a method for monitoring disease progression, recent research has demonstrated the ability of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences for predicting IDH genotypes. In this paper, we aim to improve the prediction accuracy of IDH1 genotypes by integrating multi-modal imaging information from digitized histopathological data derived from routine histological slide scans and the MRI sequences including T1-contrast (T1) and Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging (T2-FLAIR). In this research, we have established an automated framework to process, analyze and integrate the histopathological and radiological information from high-resolution pathology slides and multi-sequence MRI scans. Our machine-learning framework comprehensively computed multi-level information including molecular level, cellular level, and texture level information to reflect predictive IDH genotypes. Firstly, an automated pre-processing was developed to select the regions of interest (ROIs) from pathology slides. Secondly, to interactively fuse the multimodal complementary information, comprehensive feature information was extracted from the pathology ROIs and segmented tumor regions (enhanced tumor, edema and non-enhanced tumor) from MRI sequences. Thirdly, a Random Forest (RF)-based algorithm was employed to identify and quantitatively characterize histopathological and radiological imaging origins, respectively. Finally, we integrated multi-modal imaging features with a machine-learning algorithm and tested the performance of the framework for IDH1 genotyping, we also provided visual and statistical explanation to support the understanding on prediction outcomes. The training and testing experiments on 217 pathologically verified IDH1 genotyped glioma cases from multi-resource validated that our fully automated machine-learning model predicted IDH1 genotypes with greater accuracy and reliability than models that were based on radiological imaging data only. The accuracy of IDH1 genotype prediction was 0.90 compared to 0.82 for radiomic result. Thus, the integration of multi-parametric imaging features for automated analysis of cross-modal biomedical data improved the prediction accuracy of glioma IDH1 genotypes.

[PMID: 34648115 PMCID: PMC8651601 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-021-03870-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Purpose In glioma, molecular alterations are closely associated with disease prognosis. This study aimed to develop a radiomics-based multiple gene prediction model incorporating mutual information of each genetic alteration in glioblastoma and grade 4 astrocytoma, IDH-mutant. Methods From December 2014 through January 2020, we enrolled 418 patients with pathologically confirmed glioblastoma (based on the 2016 WHO classification). All selected patients had preoperative MRI and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation, O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation, epidermal growth factor receptor amplification, and alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) loss status. Patients were randomly split into training and test sets (7:3 ratio). Enhancing tumor and peritumoral T2-hyperintensity were auto-segmented, and 660 radiomics features were extracted. We built binary relevance (BR) and ensemble classifier chain (ECC) models for multi-label classification and compared their performance. In the classifier chain, we calculated the mean absolute Shapley value of input features. Results The micro-averaged area under the curves (AUCs) for the test set were 0.804 and 0.842 in BR and ECC models, respectively. IDH mutation status was predicted with the highest AUCs of 0.964 (BR) and 0.967 (ECC). The ECC model showed higher AUCs than the BR model for ATRX (0.822 vs. 0.775) and MGMT promoter methylation (0.761 vs. 0.653) predictions. The mean absolute Shapley values suggested that predicted outcomes from the prior classifiers were important for better subsequent predictions along the classifier chains. Conclusion We built a radiomics-based multiple gene prediction chained model that incorporates mutual information of each genetic alteration in glioblastoma and grade 4 astrocytoma, IDH-mutant and performs better than a simple bundle of binary classifiers using prior classifiers’ prediction probability.

Abstract
The natural history and treatment landscape of primary brain tumours are complicated by the varied tumour behaviour of primary or secondary gliomas (high-grade transformation of low-grade lesions), as well as the dilemmas with identification of radiation necrosis, tumour progression, and pseudoprogression on MRI. Radiomics and radiogenomics promise to offer precise diagnosis, predict prognosis, and assess tumour response to modern chemotherapy/immunotherapy and radiation therapy. This is achieved by a triumvirate of morphological, textural, and functional signatures, derived from a high-throughput extraction of quantitative voxel-level MR image metrics. However, the lack of standardisation of acquisition parameters and inconsistent methodology between working groups have made validations unreliable, hence multi-centre studies involving heterogenous study populations are warranted. We elucidate novel radiomic and radiogenomic workflow concepts and state-of-the-art descriptors in sub-visual MR image processing, with relevant literature on applications of such machine learning techniques in glioma management.

Abstract
Big data has transformed into a trend phrase in healthcare and neurosurgery, becoming a pervasive and inescapable phrase in everyday life. The upsurge in big data applications is a direct consequence of the drastic boom in information technology as well as the growing number of internet-connected devices called the Internet of Things in healthcare. Compared with business, marketing, and other sectors, healthcare applications are lagging due to a lack of technical knowledge among healthcare workers, technological limitations in acquiring and analyzing the data, and improper governance of healthcare big data. Despite these limitations, the medical literature is flooded with big data-related articles, and most of these are filled with abstruse terminologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, artificial neural network, and algorithm. Many of the recent articles are restricted to neurosurgical registries, creating a false impression that big data is synonymous with registries. Others advocate that the utilization of big data will be the panacea to all healthcare problems and research in the future. Without a proper understanding of these principles, it becomes easy to get lost without the ability to differentiate hype from reality. To that end, the authors give a brief narrative of big data analysis in neurosurgery and review its applications, limitations, and the challenges it presents for neurosurgeons and healthcare professionals naive to this field. Awareness of these basic concepts will allow neurosurgeons to understand the literature regarding big data, enabling them to make better decisions and deliver personalized care.

Abstract
Radiomics supposes an alternative non-invasive tumor characterization tool, which has experienced increased interest with the advent of more powerful computers and more sophisticated machine learning algorithms. Nonetheless, the incorporation of radiomics in cancer clinical-decision support systems still necessitates a thorough analysis of its relationship with tumor biology. Herein, we present a systematic review focusing on the clinical evidence of radiomics as a surrogate method for tumor molecular profile characterization. An extensive literature review was conducted in PubMed, including papers on radiomics and a selected set of clinically relevant and commonly used tumor molecular markers. We summarized our findings based on different cancer entities, additionally evaluating the effect of different modalities for the prediction of biomarkers at each tumor site. Results suggest the existence of an association between the studied biomarkers and radiomics from different modalities and different tumor sites, even though a larger number of multi-center studies are required to further validate the reported outcomes.

Abstract
Simple Summary Glioma prognosis and treatment are based on histopathological characteristics and molecular profile. Following the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines (2016), the most important molecular diagnostic markers include IDH1/2-genotype and 1p/19q codeletion status, although more recent publications also include ARTX genotype and TERT- and MGMT promoter methylation. Machine learning algorithms (MLAs), however, were described to successfully determine these molecular characteristics non-invasively by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The aim of this review and meta-analysis was to define the diagnostic accuracy of MLAs with regard to these different molecular markers. We found high accuracies of MLAs to predict each individual molecular marker, with IDH1/2-genotype being the most investigated and the most accurate. Radiogenomics could therefore be a promising tool for discriminating genetically determined gliomas in a non-invasive fashion. Although encouraging results are presented here, large-scale, prospective trials with external validation groups are warranted. Abstract Treatment planning and prognosis in glioma treatment are based on the classification into low- and high-grade oligodendroglioma or astrocytoma, which is mainly based on molecular characteristics (IDH1/2- and 1p/19q codeletion status). It would be of great value if this classification could be made reliably before surgery, without biopsy. Machine learning algorithms (MLAs) could play a role in achieving this by enabling glioma characterization on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data without invasive tissue sampling. The aim of this study is to provide a performance evaluation and meta-analysis of various MLAs for glioma characterization. Systematic literature search and meta-analysis were performed on the aggregated data, after which subgroup analyses for several target conditions were conducted. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42020191033. We identified 724 studies; 60 and 17 studies were eligible to be included in the systematic review and meta-analysis, respectively. Meta-analysis showed excellent accuracy for all subgroups, with the classification of 1p/19q codeletion status scoring significantly poorer than other subgroups (AUC: 0.748, p = 0.132). There was considerable heterogeneity among some of the included studies. Although promising results were found with regard to the ability of MLA-tools to be used for the non-invasive classification of gliomas, large-scale, prospective trials with external validation are warranted in the future.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common primary intraparenchymal tumor of the brain and the 5-year survival rate of high-grade glioma is poor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for detecting, characterizing and monitoring brain tumors but definitive diagnosis still relies on surgical pathology. Machine learning has been applied to the analysis of MRI data in glioma research and has the potential to change clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. This systematic review synthesizes and analyzes the current state of machine learning applications to glioma MRI data and explores the use of machine learning for systematic review automation. Various datapoints were extracted from the 153 studies that met inclusion criteria and analyzed. Natural language processing (NLP) analysis involved keyword extraction, topic modeling and document classification. Machine learning has been applied to tumor grading and diagnosis, tumor segmentation, non-invasive genomic biomarker identification, detection of progression and patient survival prediction. Model performance was generally strong (AUC = 0.87 ± 0.09; sensitivity = 0.87 ± 0.10; specificity = 0.0.86 ± 0.10; precision = 0.88 ± 0.11). Convolutional neural network, support vector machine and random forest algorithms were top performers. Deep learning document classifiers yielded acceptable performance (mean 5-fold cross-validation AUC = 0.71). Machine learning tools and data resources were synthesized and summarized to facilitate future research. Machine learning has been widely applied to the processing of MRI data in glioma research and has demonstrated substantial utility. NLP and transfer learning resources enabled the successful development of a replicable method for automating the systematic review article screening process, which has potential for shortening the time from discovery to clinical application in medicine.

Abstract
Background Early identification of glioma molecular phenotypes can lead to understanding of patient prognosis and treatment guidance. We aimed to develop a multiparametric MRI texture analysis model using a combination of conventional and diffusion MRI to predict a wide range of biomarkers in patients with glioma. Methods In this retrospective study, patients were included if they (1) had diagnosis of gliomas with known IDH1, EGFR, MGMT, ATRX, TP53, and PTEN status from surgical pathology and (2) had preoperative MRI including FLAIR, T1c+ and diffusion for radiomic texture analysis. Statistical analysis included logistic regression and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to determine the optimal model for predicting glioma biomarkers. A comparative analysis between ROCs (conventional only vs conventional + diffusion) was performed. Results From a total of 111 patients included, 91 (82%) were categorized to training and 20 (18%) to test datasets. Constructed cross-validated model using a combination of texture features from conventional and diffusion MRI resulted in overall AUC/accuracy of 1/79% for IDH1, 0.99/80% for ATRX, 0.79/67% for MGMT, and 0.77/66% for EGFR. The addition of diffusion data to conventional MRI features significantly (P < .05) increased predictive performance for IDH1, MGMT, and ATRX. The overall accuracy of the final model in predicting biomarkers in the test group was 80% (IDH1), 70% (ATRX), 70% (MGMT), and 75% (EGFR). Conclusion Addition of MR diffusion to conventional MRI features provides added diagnostic value in preoperative determination of IDH1, MGMT, and ATRX in patients with glioma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Differentiating glioblastoma from solitary brain metastasis preoperatively using conventional MR images is challenging. Deep learning models have shown promise in performing classification tasks. The diagnostic performance of a deep learning-based model in discriminating glioblastoma from solitary brain metastasis using preoperative conventional MR images was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records of 598 patients with histologically confirmed glioblastoma or solitary brain metastasis at our institution between February 2006 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative contrast-enhanced T1WI and T2WI were preprocessed and roughly segmented with rectangular regions of interest. A deep neural network was trained and validated using MR images from 498 patients. The MR images of the remaining 100 were used as an internal test set. An additional 143 patients from another tertiary hospital were used as an external test set. The classifications of ResNet-50 and 2 neuroradiologists were compared for their accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and area under the curve. RESULTS The areas under the curve of ResNet-50 were 0.889 and 0.835 in the internal and external test sets, respectively. The area under the curve of neuroradiologists 1 and 2 were 0.889 and 0.768 in the internal test set and 0.857 and 0.708 in the external test set, respectively. CONCLUSIONS A deep learning-based model may be a supportive tool for preoperative discrimination between glioblastoma and solitary brain metastasis using conventional MR images.

MRI Radiomic Features to Predict IDH1 Mutation Status in Gliomas: A Machine Learning Approach using Gradient Tree Boosting. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21218004. [PMID: 33121211 PMCID: PMC7662499 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21218004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Revised: 10/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with gliomas, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status have been studied as a prognostic indicator. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have demonstrated promise in utilizing radiomic features to study disease processes in the brain. We investigate whether ML analysis of multiparametric radiomic features from preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can predict IDH1 mutation status in patients with glioma. This retrospective study included patients with glioma with known IDH1 status and preoperative MRI. Radiomic features were extracted from Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) and Diffused Weighted Imaging (DWI). The dataset was split into training, validation, and testing sets by stratified sampling. Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) was applied to the training sets. eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) classifiers were trained, and the hyperparameters were tuned. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), accuracy, and f1-scores were collected. A total of 100 patients (age: 55 ± 15, M/F 60/40); with IDH1 mutant (n = 22) and IDH1 wildtype (n = 78) were included. The best performance was seen with a DWI-trained XGBoost model, which achieved ROC with Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.97, accuracy of 0.90, and f1-score of 0.75 on the test set. The FLAIR-trained XGBoost model achieved ROC with AUC of 0.95, accuracy of 0.90, f1-score of 0.75 on the test set. A model that was trained on combined FLAIR-DWI radiomic features did not provide incremental accuracy. The results show that a XGBoost classifier using multiparametric radiomic features derived from preoperative MRI can predict IDH1 mutation status with > 90% accuracy.

A radiomics-clinical nomogram for preoperative prediction of IDH1 mutation in primary glioblastoma multiforme. Clin Radiol 2020; 75:963.e7-963.e15. [PMID: 32921406 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2020.07.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
AIM To develop and validate an individualised radiomics-clinical nomogram for the prediction of the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status in primary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) based on radiomics features and clinical variables. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective study, preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images were obtained of 122 patients with primary glioblastoma (development cohort = 101; validation cohort = 21). Radiomics features were extracted from total tumour based on the post-contrast high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted MRI images. Radiomics features were selected by using a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) binomial regression model with nested cross-validation. Then, a radiomics-clinical nomogram was constructed by combining relevant radiomics features and clinical variables and subsequently tested by using the independent validation cohort. RESULTS A total of 105 features were quantified on the 3D MRI images of each patient, and eight were selected to construct the radiomics model for predicting IDH1 mutation status. The mean classification accuracy and mean κ value achieved with the model were 88.4±3% and 0.701±0.08, respectively. The radiomics-clinical nomogram, which combines eight radiomics features and three clinical variables (patient age, sex and tumour location), demonstrated good discrimination (C-index 0.934 [95% CI, 0.874 to 0.994]; F1 score 0.78) and performed well with the validation cohort (C-index 0.963 [95% CI, 0.957 to 0.969]; F1 score 0.91; AUC 0.956). CONCLUSIONS A radiomics-clinical nomogram was developed and proved to be valuable in the non-invasive, individualised prediction of the IDH1 mutation status in patients with primary GBM. The nomogram can be applied using clinical conditions to facilitate preoperative patient evaluation.

Abstract
Advances in computerized image analysis and the use of artificial intelligence-based approaches for image-based analysis and construction of prediction algorithms represent a new era for noninvasive biomarker discovery. In recent literature, it has become apparent that radiologic images can serve as mineable databases that contain large amounts of quantitative features with potential clinical significance. Extraction and analysis of these quantitative features is commonly referred to as texture or radiomic analysis. Numerous studies have demonstrated applications for texture and radiomic characterization methods for assessing brain tumors to improve noninvasive predictions of tumor histologic characteristics, molecular profile, distinction of treatment-related changes, and prediction of patient survival. In this review, the current use and future potential of texture or radiomic-based approaches with machine learning for brain tumor image analysis and prediction algorithm construction will be discussed. This technology has the potential to advance the value of diagnostic imaging by extracting currently unused information on medical scans that enables more precise, personalized therapy; however, significant barriers must be overcome if this technology is to be successfully implemented on a wide scale for routine use in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase genes IDH1 and IDH2 are frequently found in diffuse and anaplastic astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumours as well as in secondary glioblastomas. As IDH is a very important prognostic, diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for glioma, it is of paramount importance to determine its mutational status. The haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is a valuable tool in precision oncology as it guides histopathology-based diagnosis and proceeding patient's treatment. However, H&E staining alone does not determine the IDH mutational status of a tumour. Deep learning methods applied to MRI data have been demonstrated to be a useful tool in IDH status prediction, however the effectiveness of deep learning on H&E slides in the clinical setting has not been investigated so far. Furthermore, the performance of deep learning methods in medical imaging has been practically limited by small sample sizes currently available. Here we propose a data augmentation method based on the Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) deep learning methodology, to improve the prediction performance of IDH mutational status using H&E slides. The H&E slides were acquired from 266 grade II-IV glioma patients from a mixture of public and private databases, including 130 IDH-wildtype and 136 IDH-mutant patients. A baseline deep learning model without data augmentation achieved an accuracy of 0.794 (AUC = 0.920). With GAN-based data augmentation, the accuracy of the IDH mutational status prediction was improved to 0.853 (AUC = 0.927) when the 3,000 GAN generated training samples were added to the original training set (24,000 samples). By integrating also patients' age into the model, the accuracy improved further to 0.882 (AUC = 0.931). Our findings show that deep learning methodology, enhanced by GAN data augmentation, can support physicians in gliomas' IDH status prediction.

IDH1 mutation prediction using MR-based radiomics in glioblastoma: comparison between manual and fully automated deep learning-based approach of tumor segmentation. Eur J Radiol 2020; 128:109031. [PMID: 32417712 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2020.109031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2019] [Revised: 04/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to determine whether MR-based radiomics of glioblastoma can predict the isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation status and compare predictive performances between manual and fully automatic deep-learning segmentations. METHOD Forty-five glioblastoma patients with pretreatment T2-weighted MRIs were retrospectively evaluated. Manual segmentations of glioblastoma and peri-tumoral edema were trained via a deep neural network (V-Net). An independent external cohort of 137 glioblastoma patients from the Cancer Imaging Archive was also included (test set 1, n = 46; test set 2, n = 91). Test set 1-without known IDH1 status-was used to calculate dice similarity coefficients (DSC) between the two segmentation methods (manual & V-Net). From test set 2, all-relevant radiomic features were selected via a random forest-based wrapper algorithm for IDH1 prediction. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves with areas under the curve (AUC) were plotted as performance metrics for both methods. RESULTS Among 136 patients (45 and 91 patients from our institution and test set 2, respectively), 17 patients (11.2 %) had IDH1 mutations. The mean DSC of test set 1 was 0.78 ± 0.14 (range, 0.34-0.94). A subset of 9 all-relevant features (8.4 %, 9/107) was selected. V-Net segmentation of the test set 2 yielded similar performance in predicting IDH1 mutation as compared to manual segmentation (V-Net AUC = 0.86 vs. manual AUC = 0.90). The optimal cut-point threshold of AUC yielded 86.8 % accuracy for manual segmentation and 75.8 % for V-Net segmentation. CONCLUSIONS V-Net showed robust segmentation capability of glioblastoma on T2-weighted MRI. All-relevant radiomics features from both segmentation methods yielded a similar performance in IDH1 prediction.

Abstract
Background To evaluate radiomics analysis in neuro-oncologic studies according to a radiomics quality score (RQS) system to find room for improvement in clinical use. Methods Pubmed and Embase were searched up the terms radiomics or radiogenomics and gliomas or glioblastomas until February 2019. From 189 articles, 51 original research articles reporting the diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive utility were selected. The quality of the methodology was evaluated according to the RQS. The adherence rates for the six key domains were evaluated: image protocol and reproducibility, feature reduction and validation, biologic/clinical utility, performance index, a high level of evidence, and open science. Subgroup analyses for journal type (imaging vs. clinical) and biomarker (diagnostic vs. prognostic/predictive) were performed. Results The median RQS was 11 out of 36 and adherence rate was 37.1%. Only 29.4% performed external validation. The adherence rate was high for reporting imaging protocol (100%), feature reduction (94.1%), and discrimination statistics (96.1%), but low for conducting test-retest analysis (2%), prospective study (3.9%), demonstrating potential clinical utility (2%), and open science (5.9%). None of the studies conducted a phantom study or cost-effectiveness analysis. Prognostic/predictive studies received higher score than diagnostic studies in comparison to gold standard (P < .001), use of calibration (P = .02), and cut-off analysis (P = .001). Conclusions The quality of reporting of radiomics studies in neuro-oncology is currently insufficient. Validation is necessary using external dataset, and improvements need to be made to feature reproducibility, demonstrating clinical utility, pursuits of a higher level of evidence, and open science.

Abstract
The adult diffusely infiltrating low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are typically IDH mutant and slow-growing gliomas having moderately increased cellularity generally without mitosis, necrosis, and microvascular proliferation. Supra-total resection of LGG significantly increases the overall survival by delaying malignant transformation compared with a simple debulking so accurate MR diagnosis is crucial for treatment planning. Data from meta-analysis support the addition of diffusion and perfusion-weighted MR imaging and MR spectroscopy in the diagnosis of suspected LGG. Typically, LGG has lower cellularity (ADCmin), angiogenesis (rCBVmax), capillary permeability (Ktrans), and mitotic activity (Cho/Cr ratio) compared to high-grade glioma. The identification of 2-hydroxyglutarate by MR spectroscopy can reflect the IDH status of the tumor. The initial low ADCmin, high rCBVmax, and Ktrans values are consistent with the poor prognosis. The gradual increase in intratumoral Cho/Cr ratio and rCBVmax values are well correlated with tumor progression. Besides MR-based technical artifacts, which are minimized by the voxel-based assessment of data obtained by histogram analysis, the problems derived from the diversity and the analysis of imaging data should be solved by using artificial intelligence techniques. The quantitative multiparametric MR imaging of LGG can either improve the diagnostic accuracy of their differential diagnosis or assess their prognosis.
