Abstract
OBJECTIVES At present, there are many limitations in the evaluation of lymph node metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma. Currently, there is a demand for a safe and accurate method to predict lymph node metastasis of lung cancer. In this study, radiomics was used to accurately predict the lymph node status of lung adenocarcinoma patients based on contrast-enhanced CT. METHODS A total of 503 cases that fulfilled the analysis requirements were gathered from two distinct hospitals. Among these, 287 patients exhibited lymph node metastasis (LNM +) while 216 patients were confirmed to be without lymph node metastasis (LNM-). Using both traditional and deep learning methods, 22,318 features were extracted from the segmented images of each patient's enhanced CT. Then, the spearman test and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were used to effectively reduce the dimension of the feature data, enabling us to focus on the most pertinent features and enhance the overall analysis. Finally, the classification model of lung adenocarcinoma lymph node metastasis was constructed by machine learning algorithm. The Accuracy, AUC, Specificity, Precision, Recall and F1 were used to evaluate the efficiency of the model. RESULTS By incorporating a comprehensively selected set of features, the extreme gradient boosting method (XGBoost) effectively distinguished the status of lymph nodes in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The Accuracy, AUC, Specificity, Precision, Recall and F1 of the prediction model performance on the external test set were 0.765, 0.845, 0.705, 0.784, 0.811 and 0.797, respectively. Moreover, the decision curve analysis, calibration curve and confusion matrix of the model on the external test set all indicated the stability and accuracy of the model. CONCLUSIONS Leveraging enhanced CT images, our study introduces a noninvasive classification prediction model based on the extreme gradient boosting method. This approach exhibits remarkable precision in identifying the lymph node status of lung adenocarcinoma patients, offering a safe and accurate alternative to invasive procedures. By providing clinicians with a reliable tool for diagnosing and assessing disease progression, our method holds the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall quality of clinical practice.

Predictive value of radiomic features extracted from primary lung adenocarcinoma in forecasting thoracic lymph node metastasis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:246. [PMID: 38762472 PMCID: PMC11102161 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-024-03020-x] [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: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of radiomics in thoracic lymph node metastasis (LNM) of lung adenocarcinoma is increasing, but diagnostic performance of radiomics from primary tumor to predict LNM has not been systematically reviewed. Therefore, this study sought to provide a general overview regarding the methodological quality and diagnostic performance of using radiomic approaches to predict the likelihood of LNM in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS Studies were gathered from literature databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Web of Science Core Collection, and the Cochrane library. The Radiomic Quality Score (RQS) and the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) were both used to assess the quality of each study. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) of the best radiomics models in the training and validation cohorts were calculated. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were also conducted. RESULTS Seventeen studies with 159 to 1202 patients each were enrolled between the years of 2018 to 2022, of which ten studies had sufficient data for the quantitative evaluation. The percentage of RQS was between 11.1% and 44.4% and most of the studies were considered to have a low risk of bias and few applicability concerns in QUADAS-2. Pyradiomics and logistic regression analysis were the most commonly used software and methods for radiomics feature extraction and selection, respectively. In addition, the best prediction models in seventeen studies were mainly based on radiomics features combined with non-radiomics features (semantic features and/or clinical features). The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of the training cohorts were 0.84 (95% confidence interval (CI) [0.73-0.91]), 0.88 (95% CI [0.81-0.93]), and 0.93(95% CI [0.90-0.95]), respectively. For the validation cohorts, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC were 0.89 (95% CI [0.82-0.94]), 0.86 (95% CI [0.74-0.93]) and 0.94 (95% CI [0.91-0.96]), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Radiomic features based on the primary tumor have the potential to predict preoperative LNM of lung adenocarcinoma. However, radiomics workflow needs to be standardized to better promote the applicability of radiomics. TRIAL REGISTRATION CRD42022375712.

Quant Imaging Med Surg 2024; 14:749-764. [PMID: 38223109 PMCID: PMC10784007 DOI: 10.21037/qims-23-447] [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: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Background The accurate assessment of lymph node metastasis (LNM) is crucial for the staging, treatment, and prognosis of lung cancer. In this study, we explored the potential value of dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography (SDCT) quantitative parameters in the prediction of LNM in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods In total, 91 patients presenting with solid solitary pulmonary nodules (8 mm < diameter ≤30 mm) with pathologically confirmed NSCLC (57 without LNM, and 34 with LNM) were enrolled in the study. The patients' basic clinical data and the SDCT morphological features were analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. The Mann-Whitney U-test and independent sample t-test were used to analyze the differences in multiple SDCT quantitative parameters between the non-LNM and LNM groups. The diagnostic efficacy of the corresponding parameters in predicting LNM in NSCLC was evaluated by plotting the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the independent predictive factors of LNM in NSCLC. Interobserver agreement was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots. Results There were no significant differences between the non-LNM and LNM groups in terms of age, sex, and smoking history. Lesion size and vascular convergence sign differed significantly between the two groups (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in the six tumor markers. The SDCT quantitative parameters [SAR40keV, SAR70keV, Δ40keV, Δ70keV, CER40keV, CER70keV, NEF40keV, NEF70keV, λ, normalized iodine concentration (NIC) and NZeff] were significantly higher in the non-LNM group than the LNM group (P<0.05). The ROC analysis showed that CER40keV, NIC, and CER70keV had higher diagnostic efficacy than other quantitative parameters in predicting LNM [areas under the curve (AUCs) =0.794, 0.791, and 0.783, respectively]. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that size, λ, and NIC were independent predictive factors of LNM. The combination of size, λ, and NIC had the highest diagnostic efficacy (AUC =0.892). The interobserver repeatability of the SDCT quantitative and derived quantitative parameters in the study was good (ICC: 0.801-0.935). Conclusions The SDCT quantitative parameters combined with the clinical data have potential value in predicting LNM in NSCLC. The size + λ + NIC combined parameter model could further improve the prediction efficacy of LNM.

An [ 18F]FDG PET/3D-ultrashort echo time MRI-based radiomics model established by machine learning facilitates preoperative assessment of lymph node status in non-small cell lung cancer. Eur Radiol 2024; 34:318-329. [PMID: 37530809 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09978-2] [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: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop an [18F]FDG PET/3D-UTE model based on clinical factors, three-dimensional ultrashort echo time (3D-UTE), and PET radiomics features via machine learning for the assessment of lymph node (LN) status in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS A total of 145 NSCLC patients (training, 101 cases; test, 44 cases) underwent whole-body [18F]FDG PET/CT and chest [18F]FDG PET/MRI were enrolled. Preoperative clinical factors and 3D-UTE, CT, and PET radiomics features were analyzed. The Mann-Whitney U test, LASSO regression, and SelectKBest were used for feature extraction. Five machine learning algorithms were used to establish prediction models, which were evaluated by the area under receiver-operator characteristic (ROC), DeLong test, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS A prediction model based on random forest, consisting of four clinical factors, six 3D-UTE, and six PET radiomics features, was used as the final model for PET/3D-UTE. The AUCs of this model were 0.912 and 0.791 in the training and test sets, respectively, which not only showed different degrees of improvement over individual models such as clinical, 3D-UTE, and PET (AUC-training = 0.838, 0.834, and 0.828, AUC-test = 0.756, 0.745, and 0.768, respectively) but also achieved the similar diagnostic efficacy as the optimal PET/CT model (AUC-training = 0.890, AUC-test = 0.793). The calibration curves and DCA indicated good consistency (C-index, 0.912) and clinical utility of this model, respectively. CONCLUSION The [18F]FDG PET/3D-UTE model based on clinical factors, 3D-UTE, and PET radiomics features using machine learning methods could noninvasively assess the LN status of NSCLC. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT A machine learning model of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ three-dimensional ultrashort echo time could noninvasively assess the lymph node status of non-small cell lung cancer, which provides a novel method with less radiation burden for clinical practice. KEY POINTS • The 3D-UTE radiomics model using the PLS-DA classifier was significantly associated with LN status in NSCLC and has similar diagnostic performance as the clinical, CT, and PET models. • The [18F]FDG PET/3D-UTE model based on clinical factors, 3D-UTE, and PET radiomics features using the RF classifier could noninvasively assess the LN status of NSCLC and showed improved diagnostic performance compared to the clinical, 3D-UTE, and PET models. • In the assessment of LN status in NSCLC, the [18F]FDG PET/3D-UTE model has similar diagnostic efficacy as the [18F]FDG PET/CT model that incorporates clinical factors and CT and PET radiomics features.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a prediction model for early recurrence of stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) that combines radiomics features based on preoperative CT with tumour spread through air spaces (STAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS The most recent preoperative thin-section chest CT scans and postoperative pathological haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections were retrospectively collected from patients with a postoperative pathological diagnosis of stage I LUAD. Regions of interest were manually segmented, and radiomics features were extracted from the tumour and peritumoral regions extended by 3 voxel units, 6 voxel units, and 12 voxel units, and 2D and 3D deep learning image features were extracted by convolutional neural networks. Then, the RAdiomics Integrated with STAS model (RAISm) was constructed. The performance of RAISm was then evaluated in a development cohort and validation cohort. RESULTS A total of 226 patients from two medical centres from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively included as the development cohort for the model and were randomly split into a training set (72.6%, n = 164) and a test set (27.4%, n = 62). From June 2019 to December 2019, 51 patients were included in the validation cohort. RAISm had excellent discrimination in predicting the early recurrence of stage I LUAD in the training cohort (AUC = 0.847, 95% CI 0.762-0.932) and validation cohort (AUC = 0.817, 95% CI 0.625-1.000). RAISm outperformed single modality signatures and other combinations of signatures in terms of discrimination and clinical net benefits. CONCLUSION We pioneered combining preoperative CT-based radiomics with STAS to predict stage I LUAD recurrence postoperatively and confirmed the superior effect of the model in validation cohorts, showing its potential to assist in postoperative treatment strategies.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to establish a predictive model for occult lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with clinical stage I-A non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on contrast-enhanced CT. Methods A total of 598 patients with stage I-IIA NSCLC from different hospitals were randomized into the training and validation group. The "Radiomics" tool kit of AccuContour software was employed to extract the radiomics features of GTV and CTV from chest-enhanced CT arterial phase pictures. Then, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was applied to reduce the number of variables and develop GTV, CTV, and GTV+CTV models for predicting occult lymph node metastasis (LNM). Results Eight optimal radiomics features related to occult LNM were finally identified. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the three models showed good predictive effects. The area under the curve (AUC) value of GTV, CTV, and GTV+CTV model in the training group was 0.845, 0.843, and 0.869, respectively. Similarly, the corresponding AUC values in the validation group were 0.821, 0.812, and 0.906. The combined GTV+CTV model exhibited a better predictive performance in the training and validation group by the Delong test (p<0.05). Moreover, the decision curve showed that the combined GTV+CTV predictive model was superior to the GTV or CTV model. Conclusion The radiomics prediction models based on GTV and CTV can predict occult LNM in patients with clinical stage I-IIA NSCLC preoperatively, and the combined GTV+CTV model is the optimal strategy for clinical application.

METHODS Demographic parameters and clinically features were analyzed in 107 patients with stage I-IIIB NSCLC, while 73 of these patients received CT scanning and radiomic characteristics for prognosis assessment. Texture analysis features include histogram, gray size area matrix and gray co-occurrence matrix features. The clinical risk features were identified using univariate and multivariate logistic analyses. By incorporating the radiomics score (Rad-score) and clinical risk features with multivariate cox regression, a combined nomogram was built. The nomogram performance was assessed by its calibration, clinical usefulness and Harrell's concordance index (C-index). The 5-year OS between the dichotomized subgroups was compared using Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis and the log-rank test. RESULTS Consisting of 4 selected features, the radiomics signature showed a favorable discriminative performance for prognosis, with an AUC of 0.91 (95% CI: 0.84 ~ 0.97). The nomogram, consisting of the radiomics signature, N stage, and tumor size, showed good calibration. The nomogram also exhibited prognostic ability with a C-index of 0.91 (95% CI, 0.86-0.95) for OS. The decision curve analysis indicated that the nomogram was clinically useful. According to the KM survival curves, the low-risk group had higher 5-year survival rate compared to high-risk. CONCLUSION The as developed nomogram, combining with preoperative radiomics evidence, N stage, and tumor size, has potential to preoperatively predict the prognosis of NSCLC with a high accuracy and could assist to treatment for the NSCLC patients in the clinic.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the value of computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics with artificial intelligence (AI) in predicting pathological lymph node metastasis (pN) in patients with clinical stage 0-IA non-small cell lung cancer (c-stage 0-IA NSCLC). This study enrolled 720 patients who underwent complete surgical resection for c-stage 0-IA NSCLC, and were assigned to the derivation and validation cohorts. Using the AI software Beta Version (Fujifilm Corporation, Japan), 39 AI imaging factors, including 17 factors from the AI ground-glass nodule analysis and 22 radiomics features from nodule characterization analysis, were extracted to identify factors associated with pN. Multivariate analysis showed that clinical stage IA3 (p = 0.028), solid-part size (p < 0.001), and average solid CT value (p = 0.033) were independently associated with pN. The receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the area under the curve and optimal cut-off values of the average solid CT value relevant to pN were 0.761 and -103 Hounsfield units, and the threshold provided sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive values of 69%, 65%, and 94% in the entire cohort, respectively. Measuring the average solid-CT value of tumors for pN may have broad applications such as guiding individualized surgical approaches and postoperative treatment.

Abstract
Radiomics is a technique that extracts quantitative features from medical images using data-characterization algorithms. Radiomic features can be used to identify tissue characteristics and radiologic phenotyping that is not observable by clinicians. A typical workflow for a radiomics study includes cohort selection, radiomic feature extraction, feature and predictive model selection, and model training and validation. While there has been increasing attention given to radiomic feature extraction, standardization, and reproducibility, currently, there is a lack of rigorous evaluation of feature selection methods and predictive models. Herein, we review the published radiomics investigations in CT lung cancer and provide an overview of the commonly used radiomic feature selection methods and predictive models. We also compare limitations of various methods in clinical applications and present sources of uncertainty associated with those methods. This review is expected to help raise awareness of the impact of radiomic feature and model selection methods on the integrity of radiomics studies.

Abstract
The objective of this feasibility study was to assess computed tomography (CT) texture analysis (CTTA) of pulmonary lesions as a predictor of overall survival in patients with suspected lung cancer on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT). In a retrospective pilot study, 94 patients (52 men and 42 women; mean age, 67.2 ± 10.8 yrs) from 1 center with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) underwent CTTA on the primary lesion by 2 individual readers. Both simple and multivariate Cox regression analyses correlating textural parameters with overall survival were performed. Statistically significant parameters were selected, and optimal cutoff values were determined. Kaplan-Meier plots based on these results were produced. Simple Cox regression analysis showed that normalized uniformity had a hazard ratio (HR) of 16.059 (3.861-66.788, P < .001), and skewness had an HR of 1.914 (1.330-2.754, P < .001). The optimal cutoff values for both parameters were 0.8602 and 0.1554, respectively. Normalized uniformity, clinical stage, and skewness were found to be prognostic factors for overall survival in multivariate analysis. Tumor heterogeneity, assessed by normalized uniformity and skewness on CECT may be a prognostic factor for overall survival.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to develop an F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) radiomic model for predicting mediastinal lymph node metastasis (LNM) in presurgical patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: The study enrolled 320 patients with lung adenocarcinoma (288 internal and 32 external cases) and extracted 190 radiomic features using the LIFEx package. Optimal radiomic features to build a radiomic model were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm. Logistic regression was used to build the clinical and complex (combined radiomic and clinical variables) models. Results: Ten radiomic features were selected. In the training group, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the complex model was significantly higher than that of the radiomic and clinical models [0.924 (95% CI: 0.887-0.961) vs. 0.863 (95% CI: 0.814-0.912; p = 0.001) and 0.838 (95% CI: 0.783-0.894; p = 0.000), respectively]. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values of the radiomic model were 0.857, 0.790, 0.811, and 0.651 and 0.924, respectively, which were better than that of visual evaluation (0.539, 0.724, 0.667, and 0.472 and 0.775, respectively) and PET semiquantitative analyses (0.619, 0.732, 0.697, and 0.513 and 0.808, respectively). Conclusions: 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics showed good predictive performance for LNM and improved the N-stage accuracy of lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Background We evaluated the role of radiomics applied to contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) in the detection of lymph node (LN) metastases in patients with known lung cancer compared to 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET)/CT as a reference. Methods This retrospective analysis included 381 patients with 1,799 lymph nodes (450 malignant, 1,349 negative). The data set was divided into a training and validation set. A radiomics analysis with 4 filters and 6 algorithms resulting in 24 different radiomics signatures and a bootstrap algorithm (Bagging) with 30 bootstrap iterations was performed. A decision curve analysis was applied to generate a net benefit to compare the radiomics signature to two expert radiologists as one-by-one and as a prescreening tool in combination with the respective radiologist and only the radiologists. Results All 24 modeling methods showed good and reliable discrimination for malignant/benign LNs (area under the curve 0.75−0.87). The decision curve analysis showed a net benefit for the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) classifier for the entire probability range and outperformed the expert radiologists except for the high probability range. Using the radiomics signature as a prescreening tool for the radiologists did not improve net benefit. Conclusions Radiomics showed good discrimination power irrespective of the modeling technique in detecting LN metastases in patients with known lung cancer. The LASSO classifier was a suitable diagnostic tool and even outperformed the expert radiologists, except for high probabilities. Radiomics failed to improve clinical benefit as a prescreening tool.

Abstract
Background To investigate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT molecular radiomics combined with a clinical model in predicting thoracic lymph node metastasis (LNM) in invasive lung adenocarcinoma (≤ 3 cm). Methods A total of 528 lung adenocarcinoma patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. Five models were developed for the prediction of thoracic LNM, including PET radiomics, CT radiomics, PET/CT radiomics, clinical and integrated PET/CT radiomics-clinical models. Ten PET/CT radiomics features and two clinical characteristics were selected for the construction of the integrated PET/CT radiomics-clinical model. The predictive performance of all models was examined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and clinical utility was validated by nomogram analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results According to ROC curve analysis, the integrated PET/CT molecular radiomics-clinical model outperformed the clinical model and the three other radiomics models, and the area under the curve (AUC) values of the integrated model were 0.95 (95% CI: 0.93–0.97) in the training group and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.89–0.97) in the test group. The nomogram analysis and DCA confirmed the clinical application value of this integrated model in predicting thoracic LNM. Conclusions The integrated PET/CT molecular radiomics-clinical model proposed in this study can ensure a higher level of accuracy in predicting the thoracic LNM of clinical invasive lung adenocarcinoma (≤ 3 cm) compared with the radiomics model or clinical model alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs can regulate tumor metastasis either as oncomiRs or suppressor miRNAs. Here, we investigated the role of microRNA 224 (miR-224) in lymphatic metastasis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS The expression of miR-224 was demonstrated by a validation cohort of 156 lung cancer patients (77 cases with lymphatic metastasis) by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to study the malignant phenotype after upregulation and inhibition of miR-224 expression. Furthermore, the direct target genes of miR-224 were determined by a luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS First, miR-224 was identified as a highly expressed miRNA in tumor tissues with lymphatic metastasis, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.57 as determined by qPCR analysis of a validation cohort of 156 lung cancer patients. Then, in vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that forced expression of miR-224 in H1299 cells promoted not only cell viability, plate colony formation, migration and invasion in vitro but also tumor growth and lung metastasis in vivo. Consistently, inhibition of miR-224 suppressed malignant characteristics both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, molecular mechanistic research suggested that miR-224 enhanced NSCLC by directly targeting the tumor suppressor angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL). CONCLUSIONS Overall, the collective findings demonstrate that miR-224 is a potential biomarker for the prediction of lymphatic metastasis of NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate the imbalanced data correction based PET/CT radiomics model for predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) in clinical stage T1 lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). METHODS A total of 183 patients (148/35 non-metastasis/LNM) with pathologically confirmed LUAD were retrospectively included. The cohorts were divided into training vs. validation cohort in a ratio of 7:3. A total of 487 radiomics features were extracted from PET and CT components separately for radiomics model construction. Four clinical features and seven PET/CT radiological features were extracted for traditional model construction. To balance the distribution of majority (non-metastasis) class and minority (LNM) class, the imbalance-adjustment strategies using ten data re-sampling methods were adopted. Three multivariate models (denoted as Traditional, Radiomics, and Combined) were constructed using multivariable logistic regression analysis, where the combined model incorporated all of the significant clinical, radiological, and radiomics features. One hundred times repeated Monte Carlo cross-validation was used to assess the application order of feature selection and imbalance-adjustment strategies in the machine learning pipeline. Prediction performance of each model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and Geometric mean score (G-mean). RESULTS A total of 2 clinical parameters, 2 radiological features, 3 PET, and 5 CT radiomics features were significantly associated with LNM. The combined model with Edited Nearest Neighbors (ENN) re-sampling methods showed strong prediction performance than traditional model or radiomics model with the AUC of 0.94 (95%CI = 0.86-0.97) vs. 0.89 (95%CI = 0.79-0.93), 0.92 (95%CI = 0.85-0.97), and G-mean of 0.88 vs. 0.82, 0.80 in the training cohort, and the AUC of 0.75 (95%CI = 0.57-0.91) vs. 0.68 (95%CI = 0.36-0.83), 0.71 (95%CI = 0.48-0.83) and G-mean of 0.76 vs. 0.64, 0.51 in the validation cohort. The combination of performing feature selection before data re-sampling obtains a better result than the reverse combination (AUC 0.76 ± 0.06 vs. 0.70 ± 0.07, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The combined model (consisting of age, histological type, C/T ratio, MATV, and radiomics signature) integrated with ENN re-sampling methods had strong lymph node metastasis prediction performance for imbalance cohorts in clinical stage T1 LUAD. Radiomics signatures extracted from PET/CT images could provide complementary prediction information compared with traditional model.

PURPOSE To investigate and validate the prognostic value of nomogram models for predicting disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). METHODS In this retrospective study, 223 patients (age 54.38 ± 10.93 years) with pathologically confirmed ccRCC who underwent resection and lymph node dissection between March 2010 and September 2018 were investigated. All patients were randomly divided into training (n = 155) and validation (n = 68) cohorts. Radiomics features were extracted from computed tomography (CT) images in the unenhanced, corticomedullary, and nephrographic phases. Radiomic score was calculated and combined with clinicopathological factors for model construction and nomogram development. Clinicopathological factors and imaging features were collected at initial diagnosis. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between the radiomics signature and prognosis outcomes. RESULTS There were four prognostic factors for predicting DFS and five factors for predicting OS in our nomogram model (P < 0.05). The radiomics signature correlated independently with DFS (hazard ratio = 27; P < 0.001) and OS (hazard ratio = 25; P < 0.001). The nomogram showed excellent performance (C-index = 0.825) for predicting DFS. The combined nomogram also showed the highest C-index for OS (C-index = 0.943), which was verified in the validation dataset. CONCLUSION The combined nomogram model based on radiomics, clinicopathological factors, and preoperative CT features can accurately perform prognosis and survival analysis and can potentially be used for preoperative non-invasive survival prediction in ccRCC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish and validate a model capable of predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. METHODS Preoperative clinical and CT imaging data on patients with NSCLC undergoing surgery were retrospectively analyzed. A model was developed using a training cohort of 290 patients. The univariate analysis followed by dichotomous logistic regression was performed to estimate different risk factors of lymph node metastasis, and a nomogram was constructed. Using another testing cohort of 120 patients, the performance of the nomogram was validated using several evaluation methods and indices and evaluated including via the area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS CT-based imaging signs were important independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in NSCLC patients. The possible risk factors also included four other independent risk factors through dichotomous logistic regression, i.e., age, SIRI, PNI and CEA, which were filtered and included in the nomogram. Nomogram yields AUC values of 0.828 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.778-0.877] in the training cohort and 0.816 (95% CI: 0.737-0.895) in the validation cohort, respectively. The calibration curves showed high agreement in both the training and validation cohorts. At the threshold probability of 0-0.8, the nomogram increases the net outcomes compared to the treat-none and treat-all lines in the decision curve. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram based on the PNI and CT images signs holds promise as a novel and accurate tool for predicting the LNM in NSCLC patients and guiding intraoperative lymph node dissection.

Abstract
AIM To develop and validate a nomogram to predict 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by combining optimised radiomics features, clinicopathological factors, and conventional image features extracted from three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 172 patients with NSCLC were selected to construct the model, and 74 and 72 patients were selected for internal validation and external testing, respectively. A total of 828 radiomics features were extracted from each patient's 3D CT images. Univariable Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were used to select features and generate a radiomics signature (radscore). The performance of the nomogram was evaluated by calibration curves, clinical practicability, and the c-index. Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis was used to compare the overall survival (OS) between the two subgroups. RESULT The radiomics features of the NSCLC patients correlated significantly with survival time. The c-indexes of the nomogram in the training cohort, internal validation cohort, and external test cohort were 0.670, 0.658, and 0.660, respectively. The calibration curves showed that the predicted survival time was close to the actual survival time. Decision curve analysis shows that the nomogram could be useful in the clinic. According to KM analysis, the 1-, 2- and 5-year survival rates of the low-risk group were higher than those of the high-risk group. CONCLUSION The nomogram, combining the radscore, clinicopathological factors, and conventional CT parameters, can improve the accuracy of survival prediction in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Clinical occult lymph node metastasis (cOLNM) means that the lymph node is negatively diagnosed by preoperative computed tomography (CT), but has been proven to be positive by postoperative pathology. The aim of this study was to establish and validate a nomogram based on radiomics features for the preoperative prediction of cOLNM in early-stage solid lung adenocarcinoma patients. Methods A total of 244 patients with clinical T1-2N0M0 solid lung adenocarcinoma who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced chest CT were divided into a primary group (n = 160) and an independent validation group from another hospital (n = 84). The records of 851 radiomics features of each primary tumor were extracted. LASSO analysis was used to reduce the data dimensionality and select features. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized to identify independent predictors of cOLNM and develop a predictive nomogram. The performance of the predictive model was assessed by its calibration and discrimination. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed to estimate the clinical usefulness of the nomogram. Results The predictive model consisted of a clinical factor (CT-reported tumor size) and a radiomics feature (Rad-score). The nomogram presented good discrimination, with a C-index of 0.782 (95% CI, 0.768–0.796) in the primary cohort and 0.813 (95% CI, 0.787–0.839) in the validation cohort, and good calibration. DCA showed that the radiomics nomogram was clinically useful. Conclusion This study develops and validates a nomogram that incorporates clinical and radiomics factors. It can be tailored for the individualized preoperative prediction of cOLNM in early-stage solid lung adenocarcinoma patients.

CT-Based Peritumoral and Intratumoral Radiomics as Pretreatment Predictors of Atypical Responses to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Across Tumor Types: A Preliminary Multicenter Study. Front Oncol 2021; 11:729371. [PMID: 34733781 PMCID: PMC8560023 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.729371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a new strategy based on radiomics features extracted from intra- and peritumoral regions on CT images for the prediction of atypical responses to the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in cancer patients. METHODS In total, 135 patients derived from five hospitals with pathologically confirmed malignancies receiving ICI were included in this retrospective study. Atypical responses including pseudoprogression (PsP) and hyperprogression disease (HPD) were identified as their definitions. A subgroup of standard progression disease (sPD) in 2018 was also involved in this study. Based on pretreatment CT imaging, a total of 107 features were extracted from intra- and peri-tumoral regions, respectively. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) algorithm was used for feature selection, and multivariate logistic analysis was used to develop radiomics signature (RS). Finally, a total of nine RSs, derived from intra-tumoral, peri-tumoral, and combination of both regions, were built respectively to distinguish PsP vs. HPD, PsP vs. sPD, and HPD vs. sPD. The performance of the RSs was evaluated with discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness. RESULTS No significant difference was found when compared in terms of clinical characteristics of PsP, HPD, and sPD. RS based on combined regions outperformed those from either intra-tumoral or peri-tumoral alone, yielding an AUC (accuracy) of 0.834 (0.827) for PsP vs. HPD, 0.923 (0.868) for PsP vs. sPD, and 0.959 (0.894) for HPD vs. sPD in the training datasets, and 0.835 (0.794) for PsP vs. HPD, 0.919 (0.867) for PsP vs. sPD, and 0.933 (0.842) for HPD vs. sPD in the testing datasets. The combined RS showed good fitness (Hosmer-Lemeshow test p > 0.05) and provided more net benefit than the treat-none or treat-all scheme by decision curve analysis in both training and testing datasets. CONCLUSION Pretreatment radiomics are helpful to predict atypical responses to ICI across tumor types. The combined RS outperformed those from either intra- or peri-tumoral alone which may provide a more comprehensive characterization of atypical responses to ICI.

Abstract
PURPOSE To construct MRI radiomics nomograms that can predict short-term response after TACE in HCC patients with diameter less than 5 cm. METHODS MRI images and clinical data of 153 cases with tumor diameter less than 5 cm before TACE from 3 hospitals were collected retrospectively and divided into 1 internal training set and 1 external validation set. The T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI arterial phase (DCE-MR AP) images were studied. Multivariable logistic regression was used to construct Radiomics models, Clinics models, and Nomograms based on T2WI and DCE-MR AP, respectively. The receiver characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive performance of each model. RESULTS In this study, 113 eligible cases in Hospital 1 were collected as the training set, and 40 eligible cases in other hospitals were used as the verification set. 11 T2WI features and 11 DCE-MRI AP features with the most predictive value were finally screened. 3 models based on T2WI and 3 models based on DCE-MRI AP were established, respectively. The area under curve (AUC) value of Nomogram based on T2WI of training set and validation set was 0.83 and 0.81, respectively. The AUC value of the models based on T2WI and models based on AP was almost equal, and Nomograms were the most effective models among all three types of models. CONCLUSION MRI-based Nomogram has greater predictive efficacy to predict the response after TACE than Radiomics and Clinics models alone, and the efficacy of T2WI-based models and DCE-MRI AP-based models was almost equal.

Abstract
Background Based on the “seed and soil” theory proposed by previous studies, we aimed to develop and validate a combined model of machine learning for predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with peripheral lung adenocarcinoma (PLADC). Methods Radiomics models were developed in a primary cohort of 390 patients (training cohort) with pathologically confirmed PLADC from January 2016 to August 2018. The patients were divided into the LNM (−) and LNM (+) groups. Thereafter, the patients were subdivided according to TNM stages N0, N1, N2, and N3. Radiomic features from unenhanced computed tomography (CT) were extracted. Radiomic signatures of the primary tumor (R1) and adjacent pleura (R2) were built as predictors of LNM. CT morphological features and clinical characteristics were compared between both groups. A combined model incorporating R1, R2, and CT morphological features, and clinical risk factors was developed by multivariate analysis. The combined model’s performance was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. An internal validation cohort containing 166 consecutive patients from September 2018 to November 2019 was also assessed. Results Thirty-one radiomic features of R1 and R2 were significant predictors of LNM (all P < 0.05). Sex, smoking history, tumor size, density, air bronchogram, spiculation, lobulation, necrosis, pleural effusion, and pleural involvement also differed significantly between the groups (all P < 0.05). R1, R2, tumor size, and spiculation in the combined model were independent risk factors for predicting LNM in patients with PLADC, with area under the ROC curves (AUCs) of 0.897 and 0.883 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The combined model identified N0, N1, N2, and N3, with AUCs ranging from 0.691–0.927 in the training cohort and 0.700–0.951 in the validation cohort, respectively, thereby indicating good performance. Conclusion CT phenotypes of the primary tumor and adjacent pleura were significantly associated with LNM. A combined model incorporating radiomic signatures, CT morphological features, and clinical risk factors can assess LNM of patients with PLADC accurately and non-invasively.

Abstract
PURPOSE The existing CT indices do not allow quantitative prediction of clinical outcomes in acute pancreatitis (AP). The aim of this study was to develop and validate a revised CT index using a nomogram-based approach. METHODS This retrospective study comprised consecutive patients with AP who underwent contrast-enhanced CT between June 2017 and March 2019. 123 CT scans were randomly divided into training (n = 103) and validation groups (n = 20). Two radiologists analyzed CT scans for findings described in modified CT severity index and additional exploratory items (13 items). Seven items (pancreatic necrosis, number of collections, size of collections, ascites, pleural effusion, celiac artery involvement, and liver steatosis) found to be statistically significant were used for development of index. Synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) was employed to balance representation of minority classes and hence this index was named "SMOTE Application for Reading CT in AcuTe Pancreatitis (SMART-CT index)". Binomial logistic regression was used for development of prediction algorithm. Nomograms were then created and validated for each outcome. RESULTS The new CT index had area under the curve (AUC) of 0.79 [95% CI 0.65-0.93], 0.66 (95% CI 0.54-0.77), 0.75 (95% CI 0.65-0.85), 0.83 (95% CI 0.69-0.96), 0.70 (95% CI 0.60-0.81), and 0.64 (95% CI 0.53-0.75) for mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, length of hospitalization, length of ICU stay, number of admissions, and severity, respectively. The AUC of validation cohort was comparable to the training cohort. CONCLUSION The novel nomogram-based index predicts occurrence of clinical outcome with moderate accuracy.

Abstract
Objectives To develop and validate a PET/CT nomogram for preoperative estimation of lymph node (LN) staging in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 263 pathologically confirmed LNs from 124 patients with NCSLC were retrospectively analyzed. Positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination was performed before treatment according to the clinical schedule. In the training cohort (N = 185), malignancy-related features, such as SUVmax, short-axis diameter (SAD), and CT radiomics features, were extracted from the regions of LN based on the PET/CT scan. The Minimum-Redundancy Maximum-Relevance (mRMR) algorithm and the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression model were used for feature selection and radiomics score building. The radiomics score (Rad-Score) and SUVmax were incorporated in a PET/CT nomogram using the multivariable logistic regression analysis. The performance of the proposed model was evaluated with discrimination, calibration, and clinical application in an independent testing cohort (N = 78). Results The radiomics scores consisting of 14 selected features were significantly associated with LN status for both training cohort with AUC of 0.849 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.796–0.903) and testing cohort with AUC of 0.828 (95% CI, 0.782–0.919). The PET/CT nomogram incorporating radiomics score and SUVmax showed moderate improvement of the efficiency with AUC of 0.881 (95% CI, 0.834–0.928) in the training cohort and AUC of 0.872 (95% CI, 0.797–0.946) in the testing cohort. The decision curve analysis indicated that the PET/CT nomogram was clinically useful. Conclusion The PET/CT nomogram, which incorporates Rad-Score and SUVmax, can improve the diagnostic performance of LN metastasis. Key Points • The PET/CT nomogram (Int-Score) based on lymph node (LN) PET/CT images can reliably predict LN status in NSCLC. • Int-Score is a relatively objective diagnostic method, which can play an auxiliary role in the process of clinicians making treatment decisions.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to develop a preoperative positron emission tomography (PET)-based radiomics model for predicting occult lymph node metastasis (OLM) in clinical N0 (cN0) solid lung adenocarcinoma. Methods The preoperative fluorine-18-fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET images of 370 patients with cN0 lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by histopathological examination were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into training and validation sets. Radiomics features and relevant data were extracted from PET images. A nomogram was developed in a training set via univariate and multivariate logistic analyses, and its performance was assessed by concordance-index (C-index), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) in the training and validation sets. Results The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and the radiomics signature had statistically significant differences between patients with and without OLM (P<0.05). A nomogram was developed based on the logistic analyses, and its C-index was 0.769 in the training set and 0.768 in the validation set. The calibration curve demonstrated good consistency between the nomogram-predicted probability of OLM and the actual rate. The DCA also confirmed the clinical utility of the nomogram. Conclusions A PET/computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model including CEA, MTV, and the radiomics signature was developed and demonstrated adequate predictive accuracy and clinical net benefit in the present study, and was conveniently used to facilitate the individualized preoperative prediction of OLM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and lung cancer (LC) are common diseases with a high incidence and similar symptoms, which may be misdiagnosed by radiologists, thus delaying the best treatment opportunity for patients.
AIM To develop and validate radiomics methods for distinguishing pulmonary TB from LC based on computed tomography (CT) images.
METHODS We enrolled 478 patients (January 2012 to October 2018), who underwent preoperative CT screening. Radiomics features were extracted and selected from the CT data to establish a logistic regression model. A radiomics nomogram model was constructed, with the receiver operating characteristic, decision and calibration curves plotted to evaluate the discriminative performance.
RESULTS Radiomics features extracted from lesions with 4 mm radial dilation distances outside the lesion showed the best discriminative performance. The radiomics nomogram model exhibited good discrimination, with an area under the curve of 0.914 (sensitivity = 0.890, specificity = 0.796) in the training cohort, and 0.900 (sensitivity = 0.788, specificity = 0.907) in the validation cohort. The decision curve analysis revealed that the constructed nomogram had clinical usefulness.
CONCLUSION These proposed radiomic methods can be used as a noninvasive tool for differentiation of TB and LC based on preoperative CT data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a radiomics model for preoperative identification of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). METHODS Total of 190 eligible patients were randomly divided into training (n = 100) and validation (n = 90) cohorts. Handcrafted features and deep-learning features were extracted from T2W fat suppression images. The minimum redundancy maximum relevance algorithm and LASSO regression with 10-fold cross-validation were used for key features selection. A radiomics model that incorporated the handcrafted-signature, deep-signature, and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) levels was developed by logistic regression. The model performance was assessed and validated with respect to its calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness. RESULTS Three handcrafted features and three deep-learning features were selected and used to build handcrafted- and deep-signature. The model, which incorporated the handcrafted-signature, deep-signature, and SCC-Ag, showed satisfactory calibration and discrimination in the training cohort (AUC: 0.852, 95% CI: 0.761-0.943) and the validation cohort (AUC: 0.815, 95% CI: 0.711-0.919). Decision curve analysis indicated the clinical usefulness of the radiomics model. The radiomics model yielded greater AUCs than either the radiomics signature (AUC = 0.806 and 0.779, respectively) or the SCC-Ag (AUC = 0.735 and 0.688, respectively) alone in both the training and validation cohorts. CONCLUSION The presented radiomics model can be used for preoperative identification of LNM in patients with early-stage CSCC. Its performance outperforms that of SCC-Ag level analysis alone. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE A radiomics model incorporated radiomics signature and SCC-Ag levels demonstrated good performance in identifying LNM in patients with early-stage CSCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In lung cancer, the determination of mediastinal lymph node (MLN) status as benign or malignant influence treatment planning and survival rate. Invasive pathological tests for the classification of MLNs into benign and malignant have various shortcomings like painfulness, the risk associated with anesthesia, and depends to a large extent on skillset and preferences of the surgeon performing the test. Hence, computer-aided system for MLNs severity detection has been explored widely by the researchers. Very recently, in our earlier concluded work on non-invasive method for MLNs differential diagnosis in computed tomography (CT) images, combination of different data augmentation approaches and state-of-art fully convolutional network (FCN) were implemented to enhance the performance of malignancy detection. However, the performance of FCN network were highly depended on the selection of appropriate data augmentation approach and control of their hyperparameters. Moreover, a standard practice to get hierarchical features in convolutional neural network (CNN) models requires deeper stacking of layers. This leads to an increase in number of trainable parameters which prone to overfitting of the network. METHODS In view of the above mention limitations, in this paper, authors have proposed an approach that includes: 1) Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for data augmentation, and 2) Inception network for malignancy detection. Unlike conventional data augmentation strategy, GAN based augmentation approach generates data that correlates to original data distribution. In the case of Inception based model, it uses multiple size kernels with factorized convolution for hierarchical feature extraction. This helps to a significant reduction in trainable parameters and the problem of overfitting. RESULTS In this paper, experiments with different GAN approaches, as well as with different Inception architectures, are conducted to evaluate and justify the selection of appropriate GAN and Inception architecture, respectively for MLNs severity detection. The proposed approach achieves superior results with an average accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under curve of 94.95%, 93.65%, 96.67%, and 95%, respectively. CONCLUSION The obtained results validate the usefulness of GANs for data augmentation in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant MLNs. The proposed Inception network based classifier for malignancy detection shows promising results compared to all investigated methods presented in various literature.

Abstract
Ideally, radiomics features and radiomics signatures can be used as imaging biomarkers for diagnosis, staging, prognosis, and prediction of tumor response. Thus, the number of published radiomics studies is increasing exponentially, leading to a myriad of new radiomics-based evidence for lung cancer. Consequently, it is challenging for radiologists to keep up with the development of radiomics features and their clinical applications. In this article, we review the basics to advanced radiomics in lung cancer to guide young researchers who are eager to start exploring radiomics investigations. In addition, we also include technical issues of radiomics, because knowledge of the technical aspects of radiomics supports a well-informed interpretation of the use of radiomics in lung cancer.

Abstract
Background: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) status is of key importance for the decision-making on treatment and survival prediction. There is no reliable method to precisely evaluate the risk of LNM in NSCLC patients. This study aims to develop and validate a dynamic nomogram to evaluate the risk of LNM in small-size NSCLC. Methods: The NSCLC ≤ 2 cm patients who underwent initial pulmonary surgery were retrospectively reviewed and randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort as a ratio of 7:3. The training cohort was used for the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression to select optimal variables. Based on variables selected, the logistic regression models were developed, and were compared by areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) and decision curve analysis (DCA). The optimal model was used to plot a dynamic nomogram for calculating the risk of LNM and was internally and externally well-validated by calibration curves. Results: LNM was observed in 12.0% (83/774) of the training cohort and 10.1% (33/328) of the validation cohort (P = 0.743). The optimal model was used to plot a nomogram with six variables incorporated, including tumor size, carcinoembryonic antigen, imaging density, pathological type (adenocarcinoma or non-adenocarcinoma), lymphovascular invasion, and pleural invasion. The nomogram model showed excellent discrimination (AUC = 0.895 vs. 0.931) and great calibration in both the training and validation cohorts. At the threshold probability of 0–0.8, our nomogram adds more net benefits than the treat-none and treat-all lines in the decision curve. Conclusions: This study firstly developed a cost-efficient dynamic nomogram to precisely and expediently evaluate the risk of LNM in small-size NSCLC and would be helpful for clinicians in decision-making.

Abstract
PURPOSE To build a radiomics model of liver contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) to predict hepatic encephalopathy secondary to Hepatitis B related cirrhosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of 304 consecutive patients with first-diagnosed hepatitis B related cirrhosis. 212 and 92 patients were randomly computer-generated into training and testing cohorts, among which 38 and 21 patients endured HE, respectively. 356 radiomics features of liver were extracted from portal venous-phase CT data, and 3 clinical features were collected from medical record. After data were standardized by Z-score, we used least absolute shrinkage and selection operator to choose useful radiomics features. Ultimately, three predictive models including a radiomics model, a clinical model and an integrated model of radiomics and clinical features were built by analysis of R-software. Predictive performance was tested by multivariable logistic regression, and evaluated by area under receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC), and accuracy. RESULTS 19 radiomics features of liver CT were selected. The selected radiomics features and 3 relevant clinical features were applied to develop a radiomics model, a clinical model, and an integrated model of both radiomics and clinical features. The integrated model showed better performance than the radiomics model or clinical model to predict HE (AUC = 0.94 vs. 0.91 or 0.76, and 0.87 vs. 0.86 or 0.73; accuracy = 0.93 vs. 0.89 or 0.83, and 0.83 vs. 0.84 or 0.77) in the training and testing cohorts, respectively. CONCLUSION The integrated model of radiomics and clinical features could well predict HE secondary to hepatitis B related cirrhosis.

Abstract
Radiation therapy is a pivotal cancer treatment that has significantly progressed over the last decade due to numerous technological breakthroughs. Imaging is now playing a critical role on deployment of the clinical workflow, both for treatment planning and treatment delivery. Machine-learning analysis of predefined features extracted from medical images, i.e. radiomics, has emerged as a promising clinical tool for a wide range of clinical problems addressing drug development, clinical diagnosis, treatment selection and implementation as well as prognosis. Radiomics denotes a paradigm shift redefining medical images as a quantitative asset for data-driven precision medicine. The adoption of machine-learning in a clinical setting and in particular of radiomics features requires the selection of robust, representative and clinically interpretable biomarkers that are properly evaluated on a representative clinical data set. To be clinically relevant, radiomics must not only improve patients' management with great accuracy but also be reproducible and generalizable. Hence, this review explores the existing literature and exposes its potential technical caveats, such as the lack of quality control, standardization, sufficient sample size, type of data collection, and external validation. Based upon the analysis of 165 original research studies based on PET, CT-scan, and MRI, this review provides an overview of new concepts, and hypotheses generating findings that should be validated. In particular, it describes evolving research trends to enhance several clinical tasks such as prognostication, treatment planning, response assessment, prediction of recurrence/relapse, and prediction of toxicity. Perspectives regarding the implementation of an AI-based radiotherapy workflow are presented.

Abstract
Mediastinal staging is a crucial step in the management of patients with NSCLC. With the recent development of novel techniques, mediastinal staging has evolved from an activity of interest mainly for thoracic surgeons to a joint effort carried out by many specialists. In this regard, the debate of cases in MDT sessions is crucial for optimal management of patients. Current evidence-based clinical guidelines for preoperative NSCLC staging recommend that mediastinal staging should be performed with increasing invasiveness. Image-based techniques are the first approach, although they have limited accuracy and findings must be confirmed by pathology in almost all cases. In this setting, the advent of radiomics is promising. Invasive staging depends on procedural factors rather than diagnostic performance. The choice between endoscopy-based or surgical procedures should depend on the local expertise of each centre. As the extension of mediastinal disease in terms of number of involved lymph nodes and nodal stations affects prognosis and the choice of treatment, systematic samplings are preferred over random targeted samplings. Following this approach, a diagnosis of single mediastinal nodal involvement can be unreliable if all reachable mediastinal nodal stations have not been assessed. The performance of confirmatory mediastinoscopy after a negative endoscopy-based procedure is controversial but currently recommended. Current indications of invasive staging in patients with radiologically normal mediastinum have to be re-evaluated, especially for central tumour location.

Abstract
Radiomics has become a popular image analysis method in the last few years. Its key hypothesis is that medical images harbor biological, prognostic and predictive information that is not revealed upon visual inspection. In contrast to previous work with a priori defined imaging biomarkers, radiomics instead calculates image features at scale and uses statistical methods to identify those most strongly associated to outcome. This builds on years of research into computer aided diagnosis and pattern recognition. While the potential of radiomics to aid personalized medicine is widely recognized, several technical limitations exist which hinder biomarker translation. Aspects of the radiomic workflow lack repeatability or reproducibility under particular circumstances, which is a key requirement for the translation of imaging biomarkers into clinical practice. One of the most commonly studied uses of radiomics is for personalized medicine applications in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). In this review, we summarize reported methodological limitations in CT based radiomic analyses together with suggested solutions. We then evaluate the current NSCLC radiomics literature to assess the risk associated with accepting the published conclusions with respect to these limitations. We review different complementary scoring systems and initiatives that can be used to critically appraise data from radiomics studies. Wider awareness should improve the quality of ongoing and future radiomics studies and advance their potential as clinically relevant biomarkers for personalized medicine in patients with NSCLC.

Association of a CT-Based Clinical and Radiomics Score of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with Lymph Node Status and Overall Survival. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12061432. [PMID: 32486453 PMCID: PMC7352293 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12061432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: To evaluate whether a model based on radiomic and clinical features may be associated with lymph node (LN) status and overall survival (OS) in lung cancer (LC) patients; to evaluate whether CT reconstruction algorithms may influence the model performance. Methods: patients operated on for LC with a pathological stage up to T3N1 were retrospectively selected and divided into training and validation sets. For the prediction of positive LNs and OS, the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) logistic regression model was used; univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis assessed the association of clinical-radiomic variables and endpoints. All tests were repeated after dividing the groups according to the CT reconstruction algorithm. p-values < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: 270 patients were included and divided into training (n = 180) and validation sets (n = 90). Transfissural extension was significantly associated with positive LNs. For OS prediction, high- and low-risk groups were different according to the radiomics score, also after dividing the two groups according to reconstruction algorithms. Conclusions: a combined clinical–radiomics model was not superior to a single clinical or single radiomics model to predict positive LNs. A radiomics model was able to separate high-risk and low-risk patients for OS; CTs reconstructed with Iterative Reconstructions (IR) algorithm showed the best model performance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a radiomics nomogram by integrating clinical risk factors and radiomics features extracted from digital mammography (MG) images for pre-operative prediction of axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis in breast cancer. METHODS 216 patients with breast cancer lesions confirmed by surgical excision pathology were divided into the primary cohort (n = 144) and validation cohort (n = 72). Radiomics features were extracted from craniocaudal (CC) view of mammograms, and radiomics features selection were performed using the methods of ANOVA F-value and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator; then a radiomics signature was constructed with the method of support vector machine. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to establish a radiomics nomogram based on the combination of radiomics signature and clinical factors. The C-index and calibration curves were derived based on the regression analysis both in the primary and validation cohorts. RESULTS 95 of 216 patients were confirmed with ALN metastasis by pathology, and 52 cases were diagnosed as ALN metastasis based on MG-reported criteria. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of MG-reported criteria were 42.7%, 90.8%, 24.1% and 0.666 (95% confidence interval: 0.591-0.741]. The radiomics nomogram, comprising progesterone receptor status, molecular subtype and radiomics signature, showed good calibration and better favorite performance for the metastatic ALN detection (AUC 0.883 and 0.863 in the primary and validation cohorts) than each independent clinical features (AUC 0.707 and 0.657 in the primary and validation cohorts) and radiomics signature (AUC 0.876 and 0.862 in the primary and validation cohorts). CONCLUSION The MG-based radiomics nomogram could be used as a non-invasive and reliable tool in predicting ALN metastasis and may facilitate to assist clinicians for pre-operative decision-making. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE ALN status remains among the most important breast cancer prognostic factors and is essential for making treatment decisions. However, the value of detecting metastatic ALN by MG is very limited. The studies on pre-operative ALN metastasis prediction using the method of MG-based radiomics in breast cancer are very few. Therefore, we studied whether MG-based radiomics nomogram could be used as a predictive biomarker for the detection of metastatic ALN.

Abstract
Purpose: To find out the CT radiomics features of differentiating lung adenocarcinoma from another lung cancer histological type. Methods: This was a historical cohort study, three independent lung cancer cohorts included. One cohort was used to evaluate the stability of radiomics features, one cohort was used to feature selection, and the last was used to construct and evaluate classification models. The research is divided into four steps: region of interest segmentation, feature extraction, feature selection, and model building and validation. The feature selection methods included the intraclass correlation coefficient, ReliefF coefficient, and Partition-Membership filter. The performance metrics of the classification model included accuracy (Acc), precision (Pre), area under curve (AUC), and kappa statistics. Results: The 10 features (First order shape features: Sphericity and Compacity, Gray-Level Run Length Matrix: Short-Run Emphasis, Low Gray-level Run Emphasis, and High Gray-level Run Emphasis, Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix: Homogeneity, Energy, Contrast, Correlation, and Dissimilarity) showed the most stable and classification capability. The 6 classifiers, Logistic regression classifier (LR), Sequence Minimum Optimization algorithm, Random Forest, KStar, Naive Bayes and Random Committee, have great performance both on the train and the test sets, and especially LR has the best performance on the test set (Acc = 98.72, Pre = 0.988, AUC = 1, and kappa = 0.974). Conclusion: Lung adenocarcinoma can be identified based on CT radiomics features. We can diagnose lung adenocarcinoma with CT non-invasively.

Abstract
Background Lymph node (LN) metastasis status is the most important prognostic factor and determines treatment strategy. Methylation alteration is an optimal candidate to trace the signal from early stage tumors due to its early existence, multiple loci and stability in blood. We built a diagnostic tool to screen and identify a set of plasma methylation markers in early stage occult LN metastasis. Methods High-throughput targeted methylation sequencing was performed on tissue and matched plasma samples from a cohort of 119 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with a primary lesion of less than 3.0 cm in diameter. The methylation profiles were compared between patients with and without occult LN metastases. We carried out a set of machine-learning analyses on our discovery cohort to evaluate the utility of cell free DNA methylation profiles in early detection of LN metastasis. Two preliminary prognostic models predictive of LN metastasis were built by random forest with differentially methylated markers shared by plasma and tissue samples and markers present either in plasma or tissue samples respectively. The performance of these models was then evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) statistics derived from ten-fold cross validation repeated ten times. Results Within this cohort, 27 cases (27/119, 22.7%) were found to have occult LN metastases found by pathological examination. Compared with those without metastases, 878 and 52 genes were differentially methylated in terms of tissue (MTA3, MIR548H4, HIST3H2A, etc.) and plasma (CIRBP, CHGB, FCHO1, etc.) respectively. 19 of these genes (ICAM1, EPH4, COCH, etc.) were overlapped. We selected 22 pairs of cases with or without occult LN metastasis by matching gender, age, smoking history and tumor histology to build and test the plasma model. The AUC of the preliminary prediction model using markers shared by plasma and tissue samples and markers present either in plasma or tissue samples is 88.6% (95% CI, 87.8–89.4%) and 74.9% (95% CI, 72.2–77.6%) respectively. Conclusions We identified a set of specific plasma methylation markers for early occult LN metastasis of NSCLC and established a preliminary non-invasive blood diagnostic tool.

Abstract
AIM To develop liver a computed tomography (CT) radiomics model to predict gastro-oesophageal variceal bleeding (GVB) secondary to hepatitis B-related cirrhosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic medical records and image data of liver triple-phase contrast-enhanced CT examinations of 295 patients with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis were collected retrospectively from two hospitals. Two hundred and thirty-six and 59 patients were enrolled randomly into the training and validation cohorts, respectively; and 75 in the training cohort and 16 in the validation cohort endured GVB while the others did not during follow-up period. Radiomics features of the liver were extracted from the portal venous phase images, and clinical features came from medical records. The tree-based method and univariate feature selection were used to select useful features. The radiomics model, clinical model, and integration of radiomics and clinical models were built using the useful image features and/or clinical features. Predicting performance of three models was evaluated with the area under receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, and F-1 score. RESULTS Twenty-one useful radiomics features and/or three clinical features were selected to build prediction models that correlated with GVB. AUC of integration of radiomics and clinical models was larger than of clinical or radiomics models for the training cohort (0.83±0.09 versus 0.64±0.08 or 0.82±0.10) and the validation cohort (0.64 versus 0.61 or 0.61). Integration of radiomics and clinical models obtained good performance in predicting GVB for both the training and validation cohorts (accuracy: 0.76±0.07 and 0.73, and F-1 score: 0.77±0.09 and 0.72, respectively). CONCLUSION Integration of the radiomics and clinical models may be a non-invasive method to predict GVB.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this systematic review was to analyse literature on artificial intelligence (AI) and radiomics, including all medical imaging modalities, for oncological and non-oncological applications, in order to assess how far the image mining research stands from routine medical application. To do this, we applied a trial phases classification inspired from the drug development process. METHODS Among the articles we considered for inclusion from PubMed were multimodality AI and radiomics investigations, with a validation analysis aimed at relevant clinical objectives. Quality assessment of selected papers was performed according to the QUADAS-2 criteria. We developed the phases classification criteria for image mining studies. RESULTS Overall 34,626 articles were retrieved, 300 were selected applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and 171 high-quality papers (QUADAS-2 ≥ 7) were identified and analysed. In 27/171 (16%), 141/171 (82%), and 3/171 (2%) studies the development of an AI-based algorithm, radiomics model, and a combined radiomics/AI approach, respectively, was described. A total of 26/27(96%) and 1/27 (4%) AI studies were classified as phase II and III, respectively. Consequently, 13/141 (9%), 10/141 (7%), 111/141 (79%), and 7/141 (5%) radiomics studies were classified as phase 0, I, II, and III, respectively. All three radiomics/AI studies were categorised as phase II trials. CONCLUSIONS The results of the studies are promising but still not mature enough for image mining tools to be implemented in the clinical setting and be widely used. The transfer learning from the well-known drug development process, with some specific adaptations to the image mining discipline could represent the most effective way for radiomics and AI algorithms to become the standard of care tools.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate predictive models using clinical parameters, radiomic features and a combination of both for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in pre-surgical CT-based stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. METHODS This retrospective study included 649 pre-surgical CT-based stage IA NSCLC patients from our hospital. One hundred and thirty-eight (21 %) of the 649 patients had LNM after surgery. A total of 396 radiomic features were extracted from the venous phase contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT). The training group included 455 patients (97 with and 358 without LNM) and the testing group included 194 patients (41 with and 153 without LNM). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was used for radiomic feature selection. The random forest (RF) was used for model development. Three models (a clinical model, a radiomics model, and a combined model) were developed to predict LNM in early stage NSCLC patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) value and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the performance in LNM status (with or without LNM) using the three models. RESULTS The ROC analysis (also decision curve analysis) showed predictive performance for LNM of the radiomics model (AUC values for training and testing, respectively 0.898 and 0.851) and of the combined model (0.911 and 0.860, respectively). Both performed better than the clinical model (0.739 and 0.614, respectively; delong test p-values both<0.001). CONCLUSION A radiomics model using the venous phase of CE-CT has potential for predicting LNM in pre-surgical CT-based stage IA NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to develop a radiomics approach to predict brain metastasis (BM) for stage III/IV ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods Patients with ALK-positive III/IV NSCLC from 2014 to 2017 were enrolled retrospectively. Their pretreatment thoracic CT images were collected, and the gross tumor volume (GTV) was defined by two experienced radiation oncologists. An in-house feature extraction code-set was performed based on MATLAB 2015b (Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA) in patients' CT images to extract features. Patients were randomly divided into training set and test set (4:1) by using createDataPartition function in caret package. A test-retest in RIDER NSCLC dataset was performed to identify stable radiomics features. LASSO Cox regression and a leave-one-out cross-validation were conducted to identify optimal features for the logistic regression model to evaluate the predictive value of radiomics feature(s) for BM. Furthermore, extended validation for the radiomics feature(s) and Cox regression analyses which combined radiomics feature(s) and treatment elements were implemented to predict the risk of BM during follow-up. Results In total, 132 patients were included, among which 27 patients had pretreatment BM. The median follow-up time was 11.8 (range, 0.1-65.2) months. In the training set, one radiomics feature (W_GLCM_LH_Correlation) showed discrimination ability of BM (P value =0.014, AUC =0.687, 95% CI: 0.551-0.824, specificity =83.5%, sensitivity =57.1%). It also exhibited reposeful performance in the test set (AUC =0.642, 95% CI: 0.501-0.783, specificity =60.0%, sensitivity =83.3%). Those 105 patients without pretreatment BM were divided into stage III (n=57) and stage IV (n=48) groups. The radiomics feature (W_GLCM_LH_Correlation) had moderate performance to predict BM during/after treatment in separate groups (stage III: AUC =0.682, 95% CI: 0.537-0.826, specificity =64.4%, sensitivity =75.0%; stage IV: AUC =0.653, 95% CI: 0.503-0.804, specificity =70.4%, sensitivity =75.0%). Meanwhile, stage III patients could be divided into low risk and high risk groups for BM during surveillance according to Cox regression analysis (log-rank P value =0.021). Conclusions We identified one wavelet texture feature derived from pretreatment thoracic CT that presented potential in predicting BM in stage III/IV ALK-positive NSCLC patients. This could be beneficial to risk stratification for such patients. Further investigation is necessary to include expanded sample size investigation and external multicenter validation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Today, rapid technical and clinical developments result in an increasing number of treatment options for oncological diseases. Thus, decision support systems are needed to offer the right treatment to the right patient. Imaging biomarkers hold great promise in patient-individual treatment guidance. Routinely performed for diagnosis and staging, imaging datasets are expected to hold more information than used in the clinical practice. Radiomics describes the extraction of a large number of meaningful quantitative features from medical images, such as computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET). Due to the non-invasive nature and ability to capture 3D image-based heterogeneity, radiomic features are potential surrogate markers of the cancer phenotype. Several radiomic studies are published per day, owing to encouraging results of many radiomics-based patient outcome models. Despite this comparably large number of studies, radiomics is mainly studied in proof of principle concept. Hence, a translation of radiomics from a hot topic research field into an essential clinical decision-making tool is lacking, but of high clinical interest. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Herein, we present a literature review addressing the clinical evidence of CT and PET radiomics. An extensive literature review was conducted in PubMed, including papers on robustness and clinical applications. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS We summarize image-modality related influences on the robustness of radiomic features and provide an overview of clinical evidence reported in the literature. Today, more evidence has been provided for CT imaging, however, PET imaging offers the promise of direct imaging of biological processes and functions. We provide a summary of future research directions, which needs to be addressed in order to successfully introduce radiomics into clinical medicine. In comparison to CT, more focus should be directed towards harmonization of PET acquisition and reconstruction protocols, which is important for transferable modelling. CONCLUSIONS Both CT and PET radiomics are promising pre-treatment and intra-treatment biomarkers for outcome prediction. Most studies are performed in retrospective setting, however their validation in prospective data collections is ongoing.

Is tumour sphericity an important prognostic factor in patients with lung cancer? Radiother Oncol 2019; 143:73-80. [PMID: 31472998 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2019.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2019] [Revised: 07/05/2019] [Accepted: 08/05/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Quantitative tumour shape features extracted from radiotherapy planning scans have shown potential as prognostic markers. In this study, we investigated if sphericity of the gross tumour volume (GTV) on planning computed tomography (CT) is an independent predictor of overall survival (OS) in lung cancer patients treated with standard radiotherapy. In the analysis, we considered whether tumour sphericity is correlated with clinical prognostic factors or influenced by the inclusion of lymph nodes in the GTV. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sphericity of single GTV delineation was extracted for 457 lung cancer patients. Relationships between sphericity, and common patient and tumour characteristics were investigated via correlation analysis and multivariate Cox regression to assess prognostic value of GTV sphericity. A subset analysis was performed for 290 nodal stage N0 patients to determine prognostic value of primary tumour sphericity. RESULTS Sphericity is correlated with clinical variables: tumour volume, mean lung dose, N stage, and T stage. Sphericity is strongly associated with OS (p < 0.001, hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) = 0.13 (0.04-0.41)) in univariate analysis. However, this association did not remain significant in multivariate analysis (p = 0.826, HR (95% CI) = 0.83 (0.16-4.31), and inclusion of sphericity to a clinical model did not improve model performance. In addition, no significant relationship between sphericity and OS was detected in univariate (p = 0.072) or multivariate (p = 0.920) analysis of N0 subset. CONCLUSION Sphericity correlates clearly with clinical prognostic factors, which are often unaccounted for in radiomic studies. Sphericity is also influenced by the presence of nodal involvement within the GTV contour.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate an unenhanced CT-based radiomics model to predict brain metastasis (BM) in patients with category T1 lung adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 89 eligible patients with category T1 lung adenocarcinoma were enrolled and classified as patients with BM (n = 35) or patients without BM (n = 54). A total of 1160 quantitative radiomic features were extracted from unenhanced CT images of each patient. Three prediction models (the clinical model, the radiomics model, and a hybrid [clinical plus radiomics] model) were established. The ROC AUC value and 10-fold cross-validation were used to evaluate the prediction performance of the models. RESULTS. In terms of predictive performance, the mean AUC value was 0.759 (95% CI, 0.643-0.867; sensitivity, 82.9%; specificity, 57.4%) for the clinical model, 0.847 (95% CI, 0.739-0.915; sensitivity, 80.0%; specificity, 81.5%) for the radiomics model, and 0.871 (95% CI, 0.767-0.933; sensitivity = 82.9%, specificity = 83.3%) for the hybrid model. The hybrid and radiomics models (p = 0.0072 and 0.0492, respectively) performed significantly better than the clinical model. No significant difference was found between the radiomics model and the hybrid model (p = 0.1022). CONCLUSION. A CT-based radiomics model presented good predictive performance and great potential for predicting BM in patients with category T1 lung adenocarcinoma. As a promising adjuvant tool, it can be helpful for guiding BM screening and thus benefiting personalized surveillance for patients with lung cancer.

Abstract
Recently, the concept of radiomics has emerged from radiation oncology. It is a novel approach for solving the issues of precision medicine and how it can be performed, based on multimodality medical images that are non-invasive, fast and low in cost. Radiomics is the comprehensive analysis of massive numbers of medical images in order to extract a large number of phenotypic features (radiomic biomarkers) reflecting cancer traits, and it explores the associations between the features and patients' prognoses in order to improve decision-making in precision medicine. Individual patients can be stratified into subtypes based on radiomic biomarkers that contain information about cancer traits that determine the patient's prognosis. Machine-learning algorithms of AI are boosting the powers of radiomics for prediction of prognoses or factors associated with treatment strategies, such as survival time, recurrence, adverse events, and subtypes. Therefore, radiomic approaches, in combination with AI, may potentially enable practical use of precision medicine in radiation therapy by predicting outcomes and toxicity for individual patients.
