Exploring tumor heterogeneity in colorectal liver metastases by imaging: Unsupervised machine learning of preoperative CT radiomics features for prognostic stratification. Eur J Radiol 2024; 175:111459. [PMID: 38636408 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111459] [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: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate tumor heterogeneity of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) and stratify the patients into different risk groups of prognoses following liver resection by applying an unsupervised radiomics machine-learning approach to preoperative CT images. METHODS This retrospective study retrieved clinical information and CT images of 197 patients with CRLM from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) database. Radiomics features were extracted from a segmented liver lesion identified at the portal venous phase. Those features which showed high stability, non-redundancy, and indicative information were selected. An unsupervised consensus clustering analysis on these features was adopted to identify subgroups of CRLM patients. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and liver-specific DFS were compared between the identified subgroups. Cox regression analysis was applied to evaluate prognostic risk factors. RESULTS A total of 851 radiomics features were extracted, and 56 robust features were finally selected for unsupervised clustering analysis which identified two distinct subgroups (96 and 101 patients respectively). There were significant differences in the OS, DFS, and liver-specific DFS between the subgroups (all log-rank p < 0.05). The subgroup with worse outcome using the proposed radiomics model was consistently associated with shorter OS, DFS, and liver-specific DFS, with hazard ratios of 1.78 (95 %CI: 1.12-2.83), 1.72 (95 %CI: 1.16-2.54), and 1.59 (95 %CI: 1.10-2.31), respectively. The general performance of this radiomics model outperformed the traditional Clinical Risk Score and Tumor Burden Score in the prognosis prediction after surgery for CRLM. CONCLUSION Radiomics features derived from preoperative CT images can reveal the heterogeneity of CRLM and stratify the patients with CRLM into subgroups with significantly different clinical outcomes.

Abstract
[18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and computed tomography (CT) are indispensable components in modern medicine. Although PET can provide additional diagnostic value, it is costly and not universally accessible, particularly in low-income countries. To bridge this gap, we have developed a conditional generative adversarial network pipeline that can produce FDG-PET from diagnostic CT scans based on multi-center multi-modal lung cancer datasets (n = 1,478). Synthetic PET images are validated across imaging, biological, and clinical aspects. Radiologists confirm comparable imaging quality and tumor contrast between synthetic and actual PET scans. Radiogenomics analysis further proves that the dysregulated cancer hallmark pathways of synthetic PET are consistent with actual PET. We also demonstrate the clinical values of synthetic PET in improving lung cancer diagnosis, staging, risk prediction, and prognosis. Taken together, this proof-of-concept study testifies to the feasibility of applying deep learning to obtain high-fidelity PET translated from CT.

CT radiomics can predict disease progression within 6 months after chimeric antigen receptor-modified T-cell therapy in relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients. Clin Radiol 2023; 78:e707-e717. [PMID: 37407367 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2023.05.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023]
Abstract
AIM To predict progression within 6 months after chimeric antigen receptor-modified (CAR) T-cell therapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) patients by radiomic indexes derived from contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) examinations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy R/R B-NHL patients who underwent CECT before treatment with CAR T-cells were examined retrospectively. In total, 297 volumes of interest for lesions were segmented from CECT images. Patients without and with disease progression were assigned to groups 1 and 2, respectively. Radiomic and combined predictive models were constructed by three machine-learning algorithms using features from the training set, respectively. Furthermore, predictive models were constructed based on multi-lesion-based and largest-lesion-based radiomic features, respectively. RESULTS In the test set, no marked differences were observed between the areas under the curves (AUCs) of the combined and radiomic models for all three machine-learning algorithms (all p>0.05). Differences in machine-learning algorithms did not significantly affect the predictive performances of the models. Radiomics and combined models constructed with multi-lesion-based radiomic features showed better predictive performances than those applying largest-lesion-based radiomic features (all p<0.05 for comparisons between combined models). CONCLUSION CECT-based radiomic features may be applied to predict disease progression in R/R B-NHL patients within 6 months after CAR T-cell treatment, and radiomic features from multiple lesions may have better predictive efficacy. Different machine-learning algorithms may not show significant differences in prediction performance.

SwarmDeepSurv: swarm intelligence advances deep survival network for prognostic radiomics signatures in four solid cancers. PATTERNS (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 4:100777. [PMID: 37602223 PMCID: PMC10435962 DOI: 10.1016/j.patter.2023.100777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
Survival models exist to study relationships between biomarkers and treatment effects. Deep learning-powered survival models supersede the classical Cox proportional hazards (CoxPH) model, but substantial performance drops were observed on high-dimensional features because of irrelevant/redundant information. To fill this gap, we proposed SwarmDeepSurv by integrating swarm intelligence algorithms with the deep survival model. Furthermore, four objective functions were designed to optimize prognostic prediction while regularizing selected feature numbers. When testing on multicenter sets (n = 1,058) of four different cancer types, SwarmDeepSurv was less prone to overfitting and achieved optimal patient risk stratification compared with popular survival modeling algorithms. Strikingly, SwarmDeepSurv selected different features compared with classical feature selection algorithms, including the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), with nearly no feature overlapping across these models. Taken together, SwarmDeepSurv offers an alternative approach to model relationships between radiomics features and survival endpoints, which can further extend to study other input data types including genomics.

Radiomics predictive modeling from dual-time-point FDG PET K i parametric maps: application to chemotherapy response in lymphoma. EJNMMI Res 2023; 13:70. [PMID: 37493872 PMCID: PMC10371962 DOI: 10.1186/s13550-023-01022-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the use of dynamic radiomics features derived from dual-time-point (DTP-feature) [18F]FDG PET metabolic uptake rate Ki parametric maps to develop a predictive model for response to chemotherapy in lymphoma patients. METHODS We analyzed 126 lesions from 45 lymphoma patients (responding n = 75 and non-responding n = 51) treated with chemotherapy from two different centers. Static and DTP radiomics features were extracted from baseline static PET images and DTP Ki parametric maps. Spearman's rank correlations were calculated between static and DTP features to identify features with potential additional information. We first employed univariate analysis to determine correlations between individual features, and subsequently utilized multivariate analysis to derive predictive models utilizing DTP and static radiomics features before and after ComBat harmonization. For multivariate modeling, we utilized both the minimum redundancy maximum relevance feature selection technique and the XGBoost classifier. To evaluate our model, we partitioned the patient datasets into training/validation and testing sets using an 80/20% split. Different metrics for classification including area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), and accuracy (ACC) were reported in test sets. RESULTS Via Spearman's rank correlations, there was negligible to moderate correlation between 32 out of 65 DTP features and some static features (ρ < 0.7); all the other 33 features showed high correlations (ρ ≥ 0.7). In univariate modeling, no significant difference between AUC of DTP and static features was observed. GLRLM_RLNU from static features demonstrated a strong correlation (AUC = 0.75, p value = 0.0001, q value = 0.0007) with therapy response. The most predictive DTP features were GLCM_Energy, GLCM_Entropy, and Uniformity, each with AUC = 0.73, p value = 0.0001, and q value < 0.0005. In multivariate analysis, the mean ranges of AUCs increased following harmonization. Use of harmonization plus combining DTP and static features was shown to provide significantly improved predictions (AUC = 0.97 ± 0.02, accuracy = 0.89 ± 0.05, sensitivity = 0.92 ± 0.09, and specificity = 0.88 ± 0.05). All models depicted significant performance in terms of AUC, ACC, SEN, and SPE (p < 0.05, Mann-Whitney test). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate significant value in harmonization of radiomics features as well as combining DTP and static radiomics models for predicting response to chemotherapy in lymphoma patients.

Abstract
Radiology is integral to cancer care. Compared to molecular assays, imaging has its advantages. Imaging as a noninvasive tool can assess the entirety of tumor unbiased by sampling error and is routinely acquired at multiple time points in oncological practice. Imaging data can be digitally post-processed for quantitative assessment. The ever-increasing application of Artificial intelligence (AI) to clinical imaging is challenging radiology to become a discipline with competence in data science, which plays an important role in modern oncology. Beyond streamlining certain clinical tasks, the power of AI lies in its ability to reveal previously undetected or even imperceptible radiographic patterns that may be difficult to ascertain by the human sensory system. Here, we provide a narrative review of the emerging AI applications relevant to the oncological imaging spectrum and elaborate on emerging paradigms and opportunities. We envision that these technical advances will change radiology in the coming years, leading to the optimization of imaging acquisition and discovery of clinically relevant biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment monitoring. Together, they pave the road for future clinical translation in precision oncology.

Abstract
The objective of this review was to summarize published radiomics studies dealing with infradiaphragmatic cancers, blood malignancies, melanoma, and musculoskeletal cancers, and assess their quality. PubMed database was searched from January 1990 to February 2022 for articles performing radiomics on PET imaging of at least 1 specified tumor type. Exclusion criteria includd: non-oncological studies; supradiaphragmatic tumors; reviews, comments, cases reports; phantom or animal studies; technical articles without a clinically oriented question; studies including <30 patients in the training cohort. The review database contained PMID, first author, year of publication, cancer type, number of patients, study design, independent validation cohort and objective. This database was completed twice by the same person; discrepant results were resolved by a third reading of the articles. A total of 162 studies met inclusion criteria; 61 (37.7%) studies included >100 patients, 13 (8.0%) were prospective and 61 (37.7%) used an independent validation set. The most represented cancers were esophagus, lymphoma, and cervical cancer (n = 24, n = 24 and n = 19 articles, respectively). Most studies focused on 18F-FDG, and prognostic and response to treatment objectives. Although radiomics and artificial intelligence are technically challenging, new contributions and guidelines help improving research quality over the years and pave the way toward personalized medicine.
