Identifying sarcopenia in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients using skeletal muscle CT radiomics and machine learning

Thr92Ala-DIO2 heterozygosity is associated with skeletal muscle mass and myosteatosis in patients with COVID-19

Introduction

The type 2 deiodinase and its Thr92Ala-DIO2 polymorphism have been linked to clinical outcomes in acute lung injury and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Objective

The objective was to identify a potential association between Thr92Ala-DIO2 polymorphism and body composition (appendicular muscle mass, myosteatosis, and fat distribution) and to determine whether they reflect the severity or mortality associated with the disease.

Methods

In this prospective cohort study (June-August 2020), 181 patients hospitalized with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 underwent a non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the thorax to assess body composition, laboratory tests, and genotyping for the Thr92Ala-DIO2 polymorphism.

Results

In total, 181 consecutive patients were stratified into three subgroups according to the genotype: Thr/Thr (n = 64), Thr/Ala (n = 96), and Ala/Ala (n = 21). The prevalence of low muscle area (MA) (< 92 cm²) was 52.5%. Low MA was less frequent in Ala/Thr patients (44.8%) than in Thr/Thr (60.9%) or Ala/Ala patients (61.9%) (P = 0.027). Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that the Thr/Ala allele was associated with a reduced risk of low MA (41% to 69%) and myosteatosis (62% to 72%) compared with Thr/Thr + Ala/Ala (overdominant model). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with low muscle mass and homozygosity had lower survival rates than the other groups. Notably, the heterozygotes with MA ≥92 cm² exhibited the best survival rate.

Conclusion

Thr92Ala-DIO2 heterozygosity is associated with increased skeletal MA and less myosteatosis in patients with COVID-19. The protective effect of Thr92Ala-DIO2 heterozygosity on COVID-19 mortality is restricted to patients with reduced MA.

Contrast-enhanced CT radiomics for preoperative prediction of stage in epithelial ovarian cancer: a multicenter study

BACKGROUND

Preoperative prediction of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is crucial for determining appropriate treatment strategy. This study aimed to explore the value of contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) radiomics in predicting preoperative FIGO staging of EOC, and to validate the stability of the model through an independent external dataset.

METHODS

A total of 201 EOC patients from three centers, divided into a training cohort (n = 106), internal (n = 46) and external (n = 49) validation cohorts. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression algorithm was used for screening radiomics features. Five machine learning algorithms, namely logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), and decision tree, were utilized in developing the radiomics model. The optimal performing algorithm was selected to establish the radiomics model, clinical model, and the combined model. The diagnostic performances of the models were evaluated through receiver operating characteristic analysis, and the comparison of the area under curves (AUCs) were conducted using the Delong test or F-test.

RESULTS

Seven optimal radiomics features were retained by the LASSO algorithm. The five radiomics models demonstrate that the LightGBM model exhibits notable prediction efficiency and robustness, as evidenced by AUCs of 0.83 in the training cohort, 0.80 in the internal validation cohort, and 0.68 in the external validation cohort. The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that carcinoma antigen 125 and tumor location were identified as independent predictors for the FIGO staging of EOC. The combined model exhibited best diagnostic efficiency, with AUCs of 0.95 in the training cohort, 0.83 in the internal validation cohort, and 0.79 in the external validation cohort. The F-test indicated that the combined model exhibited a significantly superior AUC value compared to the radiomics model in the training cohort (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The combined model integrating clinical characteristics and radiomics features shows potential as a non-invasive adjunctive diagnostic modality for preoperative evaluation of the FIGO staging status of EOC, thereby facilitating clinical decision-making and enhancing patient outcomes.

Applicability of the CT Radiomics of Skeletal Muscle and Machine Learning for the Detection of Sarcopenia and Prognostic Assessment of Disease Progression in Patients with Gastric and Esophageal Tumors

PURPOSE

Sarcopenia is considered a negative prognostic factor in patients with malignant tumors. Among other diagnostic options, computed tomography (CT), which is repeatedly performed on tumor patients, can be of further benefit. The present study aims to establish a framework for classifying the impact of sarcopenia on the prognosis of patients diagnosed with esophageal or gastric cancer. Additionally, it explores the significance of CT radiomics in both diagnostic and prognostic methodologies.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

CT scans of 83 patients with esophageal or gastric cancer taken at the time of diagnosis and during a follow-up period of one year were evaluated retrospectively. A total of 330 CT scans were analyzed. Seventy three of these patients received operative tumor resection after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 74% of the patients were male. The mean age was 64 years (31-83 years). Three time points (t) were defined as a basis for the statistical analysis in order to structure the course of the disease: t1 = initial diagnosis, t2 = following (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy and t3 = end of the first year after surgery in the "surgery" group or end of the first year after chemotherapy. Sarcopenia was determined using the psoas muscle index (PMI). The additional analysis included the analysis of selected radiomic features of the psoas major, quadratus lumborum, and erector spinae muscles at the L3 level. Disease progression was monitored according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST 1.1). CT scans and radiomics were used to assess the likelihood of tumor progression and their correlation to sarcopenia. For machine learning, the established algorithms decision tree (DT), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and random forest (RF) were applied. To evaluate the performance of each model, a 10-fold cross-validation as well as a calculation of Accuracy and Area Under the Curve (AUC) was used.

RESULTS

During the observation period of the study, there was a significant decrease in PMI. This was most evident in patients with surgical therapy in the comparison between diagnosis and after both neoadjuvant therapy and surgery (each p < 0.001). Tumor progression (PD) was not observed significantly more often in the patients with sarcopenia compared to those without sarcopenia at any time point (p = 0.277 to p = 0.465). On average, PD occurred after 271.69 ± 104.20 days. The time from initial diagnosis to PD in patients "with sarcopenia" was not significantly shorter than in patients "without sarcopenia" at any of the time points (p = 0.521 to p = 0.817). The CT radiomics of skeletal muscle could predict both sarcopenia and tumor progression, with the best results for the psoas major muscle using the RF algorithm. For the detection of sarcopenia, the Accuracy was 0.90 ± 0.03 and AUC was 0.96 ± 0.02. For the prediction of PD, the Accuracy was 0.88 ± 0.04 and the AUC was 0.93 ± 0.04.

CONCLUSIONS

In the present study, the CT radiomics of skeletal muscle together with machine learning correlated with the presence of sarcopenia, and this can additionally assist in predicting disease progression. These features can be classified as promising alternatives to conventional methods, with great potential for further research and future clinical application. However, when sarcopenia was diagnosed with PMI, no significant correlation between sarcopenia and PD could be observed.

Machine Learning for Sarcopenia Prediction in the Elderly Using Socioeconomic, Infrastructure, and Quality-of-Life Data

Since the WHO's 2021 aging redefinition emphasizes "healthy aging" by focusing on the elderly's ability to perform daily activities, sarcopenia, which is defined as the loss of skeletal muscle mass, is now becoming a critical health concern, especially in South Korea with a rapidly aging population. Therefore, we develop a prediction model for sarcopenia by using machine learning (ML) techniques based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data 2008-2011, in which we focus on the role of socioeconomic status (SES), social infrastructure, and quality of life (QoL) in the prevalence of sarcopenia. We successfully identify sarcopenia with approximately 80% accuracy by using random forest (RF) and LightGBM (LGB), CatBoost (CAT), and a deep neural network (DNN). For prediction reliability, we achieve area under curve (AUC) values of 0.831, 0.868, and 0.773 for both genders, males, and females, respectively. Especially when using only male data, all the models consistently exhibit better performance overall. Furthermore, using the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis, we find several common key features, which mainly contribute to model building. These include SES features, such as monthly household income, housing type, marriage status, and social infrastructure accessibility. Furthermore, the causal relationships of household income, per capita neighborhood sports facility area, and life satisfaction are analyzed to establish an effective prediction model for sarcopenia management in an aging population.

Radiomics of spinal muscles: toward a radiological biomarker for allograft rejection in lung transplant

PURPOSE

To assess the role of muscle composition and radiomics in predicting allograft rejection in lung transplant.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The last available HRCT before surgery of lung transplant candidates referring to our tertiary center from January 2010 to February 2020 was retrospectively examined. Only scans with B30 kernel reconstructions and 1 mm slice thickness were included. One radiologist segmented the spinal muscles of each patient at the level of the 11th dorsal vertebra by an open-source software. The same software was used to extract Hu values and 72 radiomic features of first and second order. Factor analysis was applied to select highly correlating features and then their prognostic value for allograft rejection was investigated by logistic regression analysis (level of significance p < 0.05). In case of significant results, the diagnostic value of the model was computed by ROC curves.

RESULTS

Overall 200 patients had a HRCT prior to the transplant but only 97 matched the inclusion criteria (29 women; mean age 50.4 ± 13 years old). Twenty-one patients showed allograft rejection. The following features were selected by the factor analysis: cluster prominence, Imc2, gray level non-uniformity normalized, median, kurtosis, gray level non-uniformity, and inverse variance. The radiomic-based model including also Hu demonstrated that only the feature Imc2 acts as a predictor of allograft rejection (p = 0.021). The model showed 76.6% accuracy and the Imc2 value of 0.19 demonstrated 81% sensitivity and 64.5% specificity in predicting lung transplant rejection.

CONCLUSION

The radiomic feature Imc2 demonstrated to be a predictor of allograft rejection in lung transplant.

Identification of radiomic biomarkers in a set of four skeletal muscle groups on Dixon MRI of the NAKO MR study

In this work, we propose a processing pipeline for the extraction and identification of meaningful radiomics biomarkers in skeletal muscle tissue as displayed using Dixon-weighted MRI. Diverse and robust radiomics features can be identified that may be of aid in the accurate quantification e.g. varying degrees of sarcopenia in respective muscles of large cohorts. As such, the approach comprises the texture feature extraction from raw data based on well established approaches, such as a nnU-Net neural network and the Pyradiomics toolbox, a subsequent selection according to adequate conditions for the muscle tissue of the general population, and an importance-based ranking to further narrow the amount of meaningful features with respect to auxiliary targets. The performance was investigated with respect to the included auxiliary targets, namely age, body mass index (BMI), and fat fraction (FF). Four skeletal muscles with different fiber architecture were included: the mm. glutaei, m. psoas, as well as the extensors and adductors of the thigh. The selection allowed for a reduction from 1015 available texture features to 65 for age, 53 for BMI, and 36 for FF from the available fat/water contrast images considering all muscles jointly. Further, the dependence of the importance rankings calculated for the auxiliary targets on validation sets (in a cross-validation scheme) was investigated by boxplots. In addition, significant differences between subgroups of respective auxiliary targets as well as between both sexes were shown to be present within the ten lowest ranked features by means of Kruskal-Wallis H-tests and Mann-Whitney U-tests. The prediction performance for the selected features and the ranking scheme were verified on validation sets by a random forest based multi-class classification, with strong area under the curve (AUC) values of the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) of 73.03 ± 0.70 % and 73.63 ± 0.70 % for the water and fat images in age, 80.68 ± 0.30 % and 88.03 ± 0.89 % in BMI, as well as 98.36 ± 0.03 % and 98.52 ± 0.09 % in FF.

Prognostic radiomic signature for head and neck cancer: development and validation on a multi-centric MRI dataset

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

Prognosis in locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC) is currently based on TNM staging system and tumor subsite. However, quantitative imaging features (i.e., radiomic features) from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may provide additional prognostic info. The aim of this work is to develop and validate an MRI-based prognostic radiomic signature for locally advanced HNC.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Radiomic features were extracted from T1- and T2-weighted MRI (T1w and T2w) using the segmentation of the primary tumor as mask. In total 1072 features (536 per image type) were extracted for each tumor. A retrospective multi-centric dataset (n=285) was used for features selection and model training. The selected features were used to fit a Cox proportional hazard regression model for overall survival (OS) that outputs the radiomic signature. The signature was then validated on a prospective multi-centric dataset (n=234). Prognostic performance for OS and disease-free survival (DFS) was evaluated using C-index. Additional prognostic value of the radiomic signature was explored.

RESULTS

The radiomic signature had C-index=0.64 for OS and C-index=0.60 for DFS in the validation set. The addition of the radiomic signature to other clinical features (TNM staging and tumor subsite) increased prognostic ability for both OS (HPV- C-index 0.63 to 0.65; HPV+ C-index 0.75 to 0.80) and DFS (HPV- C-index 0.58 to 0.61; HPV+ C-index 0.64 to 0.65).

CONCLUSION

An MRI-based prognostic radiomic signature was developed and prospectively validated. Such signature can successfully integrate clinical factors in both HPV+ and HPV- tumors. Grant support: European Union Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, Grant/Award, Number: 689715.

Sarcopenia - Definition, Radiological Diagnosis, Clinical Significance

BACKGROUND

 Sarcopenia is an age-related syndrome characterized by a loss of muscle mass and strength. As a result, the independence of the elderly is reduced and the hospitalization rate and mortality increase. The onset of sarcopenia often begins in middle age due to an unbalanced diet or malnutrition in association with a lack of physical activity. This effect is intensified by concomitant diseases such as obesity or metabolic diseases including diabetes mellitus.

METHOD

 With effective preventative diagnostic procedures and specific therapeutic treatment of sarcopenia, the negative effects on the individual can be reduced and the negative impact on health as well as socioeconomic effects can be prevented. Various diagnostic options are available for this purpose. In addition to basic clinical methods such as measuring muscle strength, sarcopenia can also be detected using imaging techniques like dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and sonography. DXA, as a simple and cost-effective method, offers a low-dose option for assessing body composition. With cross-sectional imaging techniques such as CT and MRI, further diagnostic possibilities are available, including MR spectroscopy (MRS) for noninvasive molecular analysis of muscle tissue. CT can also be used in the context of examinations performed for other indications to acquire additional parameters of the skeletal muscles (opportunistic secondary use of CT data), such as abdominal muscle mass (total abdominal muscle area - TAMA) or the psoas as well as the pectoralis muscle index. The importance of sarcopenia is already well studied for patients with various tumor entities and also infections such as SARS-COV2.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

 Sarcopenia will become increasingly important, not least due to demographic changes in the population. In this review, the possibilities for the diagnosis of sarcopenia, the clinical significance, and therapeutic options are described. In particular, CT examinations, which are repeatedly performed on tumor patients, can be used for diagnostics. This opportunistic use can be supported by the use of artificial intelligence.

KEY POINTS

· Sarcopenia is an age-related syndrome with loss of muscle mass and strength.. · Early detection and therapy can prevent negative effects of sarcopenia.. · In addition to DEXA, cross-sectional imaging techniques (CT, MRI) are available for diagnostic purposes.. · The use of artificial intelligence (AI) offers further possibilities in sarcopenia diagnostics..

Blood pressure stratification using photoplethysmography and light gradient boosting machine

Introduction: Globally, hypertension (HT) is a substantial risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality; hence, rapid identification and treatment of HT is crucial. In this study, we tested the light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) machine learning method for blood pressure stratification based on photoplethysmography (PPG), which is used in most wearable devices. Methods: We used 121 records of PPG and arterial blood pressure (ABP) signals from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III public database. PPG, velocity plethysmography, and acceleration plethysmography were used to estimate blood pressure; the ABP signals were used to determine the blood pressure stratification categories. Seven feature sets were established and used to train the Optuna-tuned LightGBM model. Three trials compared normotension (NT) vs. prehypertension (PHT), NT vs. HT, and NT + PHT vs. HT. Results: The F1 scores for these three classification trials were 90.18%, 97.51%, and 92.77%, respectively. The results showed that combining multiple features from PPG and its derivative led to a more accurate classification of HT classes than using features from only the PPG signal. Discussion: The proposed method showed high accuracy in stratifying HT risks, providing a noninvasive, rapid, and robust method for the early detection of HT, with promising applications in the field of wearable cuffless blood pressure measurement.

Deep learning radiomics under multimodality explore association between muscle/fat and metastasis and survival in breast cancer patients

Sarcopenia is correlated with poor clinical outcomes in breast cancer (BC) patients. However, there is no precise quantitative study on the correlation between body composition changes and BC metastasis and survival. The present study proposed a deep learning radiomics (DLR) approach to investigate the effects of muscle and fat on distant metastasis and death outcomes in BC patients. Image feature extraction was performed on 4th thoracic vertebra (T4) and 11th thoracic vertebra (T11) on computed tomography (CT) image levels by DLR, and image features were combined with clinical information to predict distant metastasis in BC patients. Clinical information combined with DLR significantly predicted distant metastasis in BC patients. In the test cohort, the area under the curve of model performance on clinical information combined with DLR was 0.960 (95% CI: 0.942-0.979, P < 0.001). The patients with distant metastases had a lower pectoral muscle index in T4 (PMI/T4) than in patients without metastases. PMI/T4 and visceral fat tissue area in T11 (VFA/T11) were independent prognostic factors for the overall survival in BC patients. The pectoralis muscle area in T4 (PMA/T4) and PMI/T4 is an independent prognostic factor for distant metastasis-free survival in BC patients. The current study further confirmed that muscle/fat of T4 and T11 levels have a significant effect on the distant metastasis of BC. Appending the network features of T4 and T11 to the model significantly enhances the prediction performance of distant metastasis of BC, providing a valuable biomarker for the early treatment of BC patients.

Prediction of renal damage in children with IgA vasculitis based on machine learning

This article is objected to explore the value of machine learning algorithm in predicting the risk of renal damage in children with IgA vasculitis by constructing a predictive model and analyzing the related risk factors of IgA vasculitis Nephritis in children. Case data of 288 hospitalized children with IgA vasculitis from November 2018 to October 2021 were collected. The data included 42 indicators such as demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms and laboratory tests, etc. Univariate feature selection was used for feature extraction, and logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), decision tree and random forest (RF) algorithms were used separately for classification prediction. Lastly, the performance of four algorithms is compared using accuracy rate, recall rate and AUC. The accuracy rate, recall rate and AUC of the established RF model were 0.83, 0.86 and 0.91 respectively, which were higher than 0.74, 0.80 and 0.89 of the logistic regression model; higher than 0.70, 0.80 and 0.89 of SVM model; higher than 0.74, 0.80 and 0.81 of the decision tree model. The top 10 important features provided by RF model are: Persistent purpura ≥4 weeks, Cr, Clinic time, ALB, WBC, TC, Relapse, TG, Recurrent purpura and EB-DNA. The model based on RF algorithm has better performance in the prediction of children with IgA vasculitis renal damage, indicated by better classification accuracy, better classification effect and better generalization performance.

Sarcopenia in rheumatic disorders: what the radiologist and rheumatologist should know

Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass, strength, and function. Increasing evidence shows that sarcopenia is common in patients with rheumatic disorders. Although sarcopenia can be diagnosed using bioelectrical impedance analysis or DXA, increasingly it is diagnosed using CT, MRI, and ultrasound. In rheumatic patients, CT and MRI allow "opportunistic" measurement of body composition, including surrogate markers of sarcopenia, from studies obtained during routine patient care. Recognition of sarcopenia is important in rheumatic patients because sarcopenia can be associated with disease progression and poor outcomes. This article reviews how opportunistic evaluation of sarcopenia in rheumatic patients can be accomplished and potentially contribute to improved patient care.

Sarcopenia: imaging assessment and clinical application

Sarcopenia is a progressive, generalized skeletal muscle disorder characterized by reduction of muscle mass and strength. It is associated with increased adverse outcomes including falls, fractures, physical disability, and mortality, particularly, in elderly patients. Nowadays, sarcopenia has become a specific imaging biomarker able to predict clinical outcomes of patients. Muscle fibre reduction has shown to be an unfavourable pre-operative predictive factor in patients with cancer, and is associated with worse clinical outcomes in terms of postoperative complications, morbidity, mortality, and lower tolerance of chemoradiation therapy. Several imaging modalities, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, CT, MRI, and US can be used to estimate muscle mass and quality to reach the diagnosis of sarcopenia. This article reviews the clinical implications of sarcopenia, how this condition can be assessed through different imaging modalities, and future perspectives of imaging of sarcopenia.

Bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging based radiomics for the identification of benign and malignant prostate lesions: cross-vendor validation

The purpose of this study was to develop Bi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (BP-MRI) based radiomics models for differentiation between benign and malignant prostate lesions, and to cross-vendor validate the generalization ability of the models. The prebiopsy BP-MRI data (T2-Weighted Image [T2WI] and the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient [ADC]) of 459 patients with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer were acquired using two scanners from different vendors. The prostate biopsies are the reference standard for diagnosing benign and malignant prostate lesions. The training set was 168 patients' data from Siemens (Vendor 1), and the inner test set was 70 patients' data from the same vendor. The external test set was 221 patients' data from GE (Vendor 2). The lesion Region of Interest (ROI) was manually delineated by experienced radiologists. A total of 851 radiomics features including shape, first-order statistical, texture, and wavelet features were extracted from ROI in T2WI and ADC, respectively. Two feature-ranking methods (Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance [MRMR] and Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test [WRST]) and three classifiers (Random Forest [RF], Support Vector Machine [SVM], and the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator [LASSO] regression) were investigated for their efficacy in building single-parametric radiomics signatures. A biparametric radiomics model was built by combining the optimal single-parametric radiomics signatures. A comprehensive diagnosis model was built by combining the biparametric radiomics model with age and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) value using multivariable logistic regression. All models were built in the training set and independently validated in the inner and external test sets, and the performances of models in the diagnosis of benign and malignant prostate lesions were quantified by the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC). The mean AUCs of the inner and external test sets were calculated for each model. The non-inferiority test was used to test if the AUC of model in external test was not inferior to the AUC of model in inner test. Combining MRMR and LASSO produced the best-performing single-parametric radiomics signatures with the highest mean AUC of 0.673 for T2WI (inner test AUC = 0.729 vs. external test AUC = 0.616, p = 0.569) and the highest mean AUC of 0.810 for ADC (inner test AUC = 0.822 vs. external test AUC = 0.797, p = 0.102). The biparametric radiomics model produced a mean AUC of 0.833 (inner test AUC = 0.867 vs. external test AUC = 0.798, p = 0.051). The comprehensive diagnosis model had an improved mean AUC of 0.911 (inner test AUC = 0.935 vs. external test AUC = 0.886, p = 0.010). The comprehensive diagnosis model for differentiating benign from malignant prostate lesions was accurate and generalizable.
