Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a predictive model for osteoporosis and osteopenia prediction by fusing deep transfer learning (DTL) features and classical radiomics features based on single-source dual-energy computed tomography (CT) virtual monochromatic imaging. METHODS A total of 606 lumbar vertebrae with dual-energy CT imaging and quantitative CT (QCT) evaluation were included in the retrospective study and randomly divided into the training (n = 424) and validation (n = 182) cohorts. Radiomics features and DTL features were extracted from 70-keV monochromatic CT images, followed by feature selection and model construction, radiomics and DTL features models were established. Then, we integrated the selected two types of features into a features fusion model. We developed a two-level classifier for the hierarchical pairwise classification of each vertebra. All the vertebrae were first classified into osteoporosis and non-osteoporosis groups, then non-osteoporosis group was classified into osteopenia and normal groups. QCT was used as reference. The predictive performance and clinical usefulness of three models were evaluated and compared. RESULTS The area under the curve (AUC) of the features fusion, radiomics and DTL models for the classification between osteoporosis and non-osteoporosis were 0.981, 0.999, 0.997 in the training cohort and 0.979, 0.943, 0.848 in the validation cohort. Furthermore, the AUCs of the previously mentioned models for the differentiation between osteopenia and normal were 0.994, 0.971, 0.996 in the training cohort and 0.990, 0.968, 0.908 in the validation cohort. The overall accuracy of the previously mentioned models for two-level classifications was 0.979, 0.955, 0.908 in the training cohort and 0.918, 0.885, 0.841 in the validation cohort. Decision curve analysis showed that all models had high clinical value. CONCLUSION The feature fusion model can be used for osteoporosis and osteopenia prediction with improved predictive ability over a radiomics model or a DTL model alone.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:100. [PMID: 36750927 PMCID: PMC9903590 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-06096-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND With the aging population of society, the incidence rate of osteoporosis is increasing year by year. Early diagnosis of osteoporosis plays a significant role in the progress of disease prevention. As newly developed technology, computed tomography (CT) radiomics could discover radiomic features difficult to recognize visually, providing convenient, comprehensive and accurate osteoporosis diagnosis. This study aimed to develop and validate a clinical-radiomics model based on the monochromatic imaging of single source dual-energy CT for osteoporosis prediction. METHODS One hundred sixty-four participants who underwent both single source dual-energy CT and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) lumbar-spine examination were enrolled in a study cohort including training datasets (n = 114 [30 osteoporosis and 84 non-osteoporosis]) and validation datasets (n = 50 [12 osteoporosis and 38 non-osteoporosis]). One hundred seven radiomics features were extracted from 70-keV monochromatic CT images. With QCT as the reference standard, a radiomics signature was built by using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression on the basis of reproducible features. A clinical-radiomics model was constructed by incorporating the radiomics signature and a significant clinical predictor (age) using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Model performance was assessed by its calibration, discrimination and clinical usefulness. RESULTS The radiomics signature comprised 14 selected features and showed good calibration and discrimination in both training and validation cohorts. The clinical-radiomics model, which incorporated the radiomics signature and a significant clinical predictor (age), also showed good discrimination, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.938 (95% confidence interval, 0.903-0.952) in the training cohort and an AUC of 0.988 (95% confidence interval, 0.967-0.998) in the validation cohort, and good calibration. The clinical-radiomics model stratified participants into groups with osteoporosis and non-osteoporosis with an accuracy of 94.0% in the validation cohort. Decision curve analysis (DCA) demonstrated that the radiomics signature and the clinical-radiomics model were clinically useful. CONCLUSIONS The clinical-radiomics model incorporating the radiomics signature and a clinical parameter had a good ability to predict osteoporosis based on dual-energy CT monoenergetic imaging.

Associations between paraspinal muscles fatty infiltration and lumbar vertebral bone mineral density - An investigation by fast kVp switching dual-energy CT and QCT. Eur J Radiol Open 2022; 9:100447. [PMID: 36277658 PMCID: PMC9579482 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejro.2022.100447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2022] [Revised: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 10/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To investigate the relationship between paraspinal muscles fat content and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD). Methods A total of 119 participants were enrolled in our study (60 males, age: 50.88 ± 17.79 years, BMI: 22.80 ± 3.80 kg·m-2; 59 females, age: 49.41 ± 17.69 years, BMI: 22.22 ± 3.12 kg·m-2). Fat content of paraspinal muscles (erector spinae (ES), multifidus (MS), and psoas (PS)) were measured at (ES L1/2-L4/5; MS L2/3-L5/S1; PS L2/3-L5/S1) levels using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT). Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) was used to assess BMD of L1 and L2. Linear regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between BMD of the lumbar spine and paraspinal muscles fat content with age, sex, and BMI. The variance inflation factor (VIF) was used to detect the degree of multicollinearity among the variables. P < .05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference. Results The paraspinal muscles fat content had a fairly significant inverse association with lumbar BMD after controlling for age, sex, and BMI (adjusted R 2 = 0.584-0.630, all P < .05). Conclusion Paraspinal muscles fat content was negatively associated with BMD.Paraspinal muscles fatty infiltration may be considered as a potential marker to identify BMD loss.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis is a common, progressive disease related to low bone mineral density (BMD). If it can be diagnosed at an early stage, osteoporosis is treatable. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is one of the current reference standards of BMD measurement, but dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is considered to be a potential alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of phantomless in vivo DECT-based BMD quantification in comparison with QCT. Methods A total of 128 consecutive participants who underwent DECT lumbar examinations between July 2018 and February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The density of calcium (water), hydroxyapatite (water), calcium (fat), and hydroxyapatite (fat) [DCa(Wa), DHAP(Wa), DCa(Fat) and DHAP(Fat), respectively] were measured along with BMD in the trabecular bone of lumbar level 1-2 by DECT and QCT. Linear regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between DECT- and QCT-derived BMD at both the participant level and the vertebral level. Linear regression models were quantitatively evaluated with adjusted R-square, normalized mean squared error (NMSE) and relative error (RE). Bland-Altman analysis was conducted to assess agreement between measurements. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Strong correlations were observed between DECT- and QCT-derived BMD at both the participant level and the vertebral level (adjusted R2 =0.983-0.987; NMSE = 1.6-2.1%; RElinear =0.6-0.9%). Bland-Altman plots indicated high agreement between both measurements. DCa(Fat) and DHAP(Fat) showed relatively similar and optimal predictive capability for QCT-derived BMD (both: adjusted R2 =0.987, NMSE =1.6%, RElinear =0.6%). Conclusions Fast kVp switching DECT enabled accurate phantomless in vivo BMD quantification of the lumbar spine. DCa(Fat) and DHAP(Fat) had relatively similar and optimal predictive capability.
