Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the performance of deep learning and radiomics features of intra-tumoral region (ITR) and peri-tumoral region (PTR) in the diagnosing of breast cancer lung metastasis (BCLM) and primary lung cancer (PLC) with low-dose CT (LDCT). METHODS We retrospectively collected the LDCT images of 100 breast cancer patients with lung lesions, comprising 60 cases of BCLM and 40 cases of PLC. We proposed a fusion model that combined deep learning features extracted from ResNet18-based multi-input residual convolution network with traditional radiomics features. Specifically, the fusion model adopted a multi-region strategy, incorporating the aforementioned features from both the ITR and PTR. Then, we randomly divided the dataset into training and validation sets using fivefold cross-validation approach. Comprehensive comparative experiments were performed between the proposed fusion model and other eight models, including the intra-tumoral deep learning model, the intra-tumoral radiomics model, the intra-tumoral deep-learning radiomics model, the peri-tumoral deep learning model, the peri-tumoral radiomics model, the peri-tumoral deep-learning radiomics model, the multi-region radiomics model, and the multi-region deep-learning model. RESULTS The fusion model developed using deep-learning radiomics feature sets extracted from the ITR and PTR had the best classification performance, with the area under the curve of 0.913 (95% CI 0.840-0.960). This was significantly higher than that of the single region's radiomics model or deep learning model. CONCLUSIONS The combination of radiomics and deep learning features was effective in discriminating BCLM and PLC. Additionally, the analysis of the PTR can mine more comprehensive tumor information.

Preoperative predicting invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as ground-glass nodules based on multimodal images of dual-layer spectral detector CT radiomics models. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2023; 149:15425-15438. [PMID: 37642725 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-023-05311-y] [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: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct and validate conventional and radiomics models based on dual-layer spectral CT radiomics for preoperative prediction of lung ground glass nodules (GGNs) invasiveness. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 176 GGNs patients who underwent chest non-contrast enhancement scan on dual-layer spectral detector CT at our hospital within 2 weeks before surgery. Patients were randomized into the training cohort and testing cohort. Clinical features, imaging features and spectral quantitative parameters were collected to establish a conventional model. Radiomics models were established by extracting 1781 radiomics features form regions of interest of each spectral image [120 kVp poly energetic images (PI), 60 keV images and electron density maps], respectively. After selecting the optimal radiomic features and integrating multiple machine learning models, the conventional model, PI model, 60 keV model, electron density (ED) model and combined model based on multimodal spectral images were finally established. The performance of these models was assessed through the evaluation of discrimination, calibration, and clinical application. RESULTS In the conventional model, age, vacuole sign, 60 keV and ED were independent risk factors of invasiveness. The combined model using logistic regression-least absolute shrinkage and selection operator classifiers was the optimal model with a higher area under the curve of the training (0.961, 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.932-0.991) and testing set (0.944, 0.890-0.999). CONCLUSION The combined models are helpful to predict the invasiveness of GGNs before surgery and guide the individualized treatment of patients.

A CT-based radiomics integrated model for discriminating pulmonary cryptococcosis granuloma from lung adenocarcinoma-a diagnostic test. Transl Lung Cancer Res 2023; 12:1790-1801. [PMID: 37691867 PMCID: PMC10483083 DOI: 10.21037/tlcr-23-389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
Background Chest computed tomography (CT) is a critical tool in the diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis as approximately 30% of normal immunity individuals may not exhibit any significant symptoms or laboratory findings. Pulmonary cryptococcosis granuloma and lung adenocarcinoma can appear similar on noncontrast chest CT. This study evaluates the use of an integrated model that was developed based on radiomic features combined with demographic and radiological features to differentiate pulmonary cryptococcosis nodules from lung adenocarcinomas. Methods Preoperative chest CT images for 215 patients with solid pulmonary nodules with histopathologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma and cryptococcosis infection were collected from two clinical centers (108 cases in the training set and 107 cases in the test set divided by the different hospitals). Radiomics models were constructed based on nodular lesion volume (LV), 5-mm extended lesion volume (ELV), and perilesion volume (PLV). A demoradiological model was constructed using logistic regression based on demographic information (age, sex) and 12 radiological features (location, number, shape and specific imaging signs). Both models were used to build an integrated model, the performance of which was assessed using the test set. A junior and a senior radiologist evaluated the nodules. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted, and areas under the curve (AUCs), sensitivity (SEN), and specificity (SPE) of the models were calculated and compared. Results Among the radiomics models, AUCs of the LV, ELV, and PLV were 0.558, 0.757, and 0.470, respectively. Age, lesion number, and lobular sign were identified as independent discriminative features providing an AUC of 0.77 in the demoradiological model (SEN 0.815, SPE 0.642). The integrated model achieved the highest AUC of 0.801 (SEN 0.759, SPE 0.755), which was significantly higher than that obtained by a junior radiologist (AUC =0.689, P=0.024) but showed no significant difference from that of the senior radiologist (AUC =0.784, P=0.388). Conclusions An integrated model with radiomics and demoradiological features improves discrimination of cryptococcosis granulomas from solid adenocarcinomas on noncontrast CT. This model may be an effective strategy for machine complementation to discrimination by radiologists, and whole-lung automated recognition methods might dominate in the future.

Abstract
Lung cancer screening using computed tomography (CT) has increased the detection rate of small pulmonary nodules and early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. It would be clinically meaningful to accurate assessment of the nodule histology by CT scans with advanced deep learning algorithms. However, recent studies mainly focus on predicting benign and malignant nodules, lacking of model for the risk stratification of invasive adenocarcinoma. We propose an ensemble multi-view 3D convolutional neural network (EMV-3D-CNN) model to study the risk stratification of lung adenocarcinoma. We include 1075 lung nodules (≤30 mm and ≥4 mm) with preoperative thin-section CT scans and definite pathology confirmed by surgery. Our model achieves a state-of-art performance of 91.3% and 92.9% AUC for diagnosis of benign/malignant and pre-invasive/invasive nodules, respectively. Importantly, our model outperforms senior doctors in risk stratification of invasive adenocarcinoma with 77.6% accuracy [i.e., Grades 1, 2, 3]). It provides detailed predictive histological information for the surgical management of pulmonary nodules. Finally, for user-friendly access, the proposed model is implemented as a web-based system ( https://seeyourlung.com.cn ).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiomics has been used to predict pulmonary nodule (PN) malignancy. However, most of the studies focused on pulmonary ground-glass nodules. The use of computed tomography (CT) radiomics in pulmonary solid nodules, particularly sub-centimeter solid nodules, is rare. PURPOSE This study aims to develop a radiomics model based on non-enhanced CT images that can distinguish between benign and malignant sub-centimeter pulmonary solid nodules (SPSNs, <1 cm). METHODS The clinical and CT data of 180 SPSNs confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively. All SPSNs were divided into two groups: training set (n = 144) and testing set (n = 36). From non-enhanced chest CT images, over 1000 radiomics features were extracted. Radiomics feature selection was performed using the analysis of variance and principal component analysis. The selected radiomics features were fed into a support vector machine (SVM) to develop a radiomics model. The clinical and CT characteristics were used to develop a clinical model. Associating non-enhanced CT radiomics features with clinical factors were used to develop a combined model using SVM. The performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS The radiomics model performed well in distinguishing between benign and malignant SPSNs, with an AUC of 0.913 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.862-0.954) in the training set and an AUC of 0.877 (95% CI, 0.817-0.924) in the testing set. The combined model outperformed the clinical and radiomics models with an AUC of 0.940 (95% CI, 0.906-0.969) in the training set and an AUC of 0.903 (95% CI, 0.857-0.944) in the testing set. CONCLUSIONS Radiomics features based on non-enhanced CT images can be used to differentiate SPSNs. The combined model, which included radiomics and clinical factors, had the best discrimination power between benign and malignant SPSNs.

Abstract
Background Patients with persistent pulmonary subsolid nodules have a relatively high incidence of lung adenocarcinoma. Preoperative early diagnosis of invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma spectrum lesions could help avoid extensive advanced cancer management and overdiagnosis in lung cancer screening programs. Methods In total, 260 consecutive patients with persistent subsolid nodules ≤30 mm (n=260) confirmed by surgical pathology were retrospectively investigated from February 2016 to August 2020 at the Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital. All patients underwent surgical resection within 3 months of the chest CT exam. The study subjects were divided into a training cohort (N=195) and a validation cohort (N=65) at a ratio of 3:1. The purpose of our study was to develop and validate a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-derived nomogram integrating semantic-radiomic features in differentiating preinvasive and invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesions, and compare its predictive value with clinical-semantic, semantic, and radiologist's performance. Results In the training cohort of 195 subsolid nodules, 106 invasive lesions and 89 preinvasive lesions were identified. We developed a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-derived combined nomogram prediction model based on six predictors (nodular size, CTR, roundness, GLCM_Entropy_log10, HISTO_Entropy_log10, and CONVENTIONAL_Humean) to predict the invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesions. Compared with other predictive models, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-derived model showed better diagnostic performance with an area under the curve of 0.957 (95% CI: 0.918 to 0.981) for detecting invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesions with balanced sensitivity (92.45%) and specificity (88.64%). The results of Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed P values of 0.394 and 0.787 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively, indicating good calibration power. Conclusions We developed a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-derived model integrating semantic-radiomic features with good calibration. This nomogram may help physicians to identify invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesions for guidance in personalized medicine and make more informed decisions on managing subsolid nodules.

Abstract
Background Transition of the CT values from nodule to peripheral normal lung is related to pathological changes and may be a potential indicator for differential diagnosis. This study investigated the significance of the standard deviation (SD) values in the lesion-lung boundary zone when differentiating between benign and neoplastic subsolid nodules (SSNs). Methods From January 2012 to July 2021, a total of 229 neoplastic and 84 benign SSNs confirmed by pathological examination were retrospectively and nonconsecutively enrolled in this study. The diagnostic study was not registered with a clinical trial platform, and the study protocol was not published. Computed tomography (CT) values of the ground-glass component (CT1), adjacent normal lung tissue (CT2), and lesion-lung boundary zone (CT3) were measured consecutively. The SD of CT3 was recorded to assess density variability. The CT1, CT2, CT3, and SD values were compared between benign and neoplastic SSNs. Results No significant differences in CT1 and CT2 were observed between benign and neoplastic SSNs (each P value >0.05). CT3 (-736.1±51.0 vs. -792.6±73.9; P<0.001) and its SD (135.6±29.6 vs. 83.6±20.6; P<0.001) in neoplastic SSNs were significantly higher than those in benign SSNs. Moreover, the SD increased with the invasiveness degree of neoplastic SSNs (r=0.657; P<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve revealed that the area under the curve was 0.927 (95% CI: 0.896-0.959) when using the SD (cutoff value =106.98) as a factor to distinguish SSNs, which increased to 0.966 (95% CI: 0.934-0.985) when including nodules with a CT1 of ≥-715 Hounsfield units (HU) only (cutoff of SD 109.9, sensitivity 0.930, and specificity 0.914). Conclusions The SD as an objective index is valuable for differentiating SSNs, especially for those with a CT1 of ≥-715 HU, which have a higher possibility of neoplasm if the SD is >109.9.

[PMID: 36460488 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2022.09.130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate peritumour radiomics in predicting benign and malignant pulmonary nodules with halo sign. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 305 pulmonary nodules with halo sign (benign, 120; adenocarcinoma, 185) were collected. Manual segmentation was used to mark the gross tumour volume (GTV) and the peritumour volume (PTV) was established by uniform dilation (1 cm) of the tumour area in three dimensions. The GTV and PTV radiomic features were combined to produce the gross tumour and peritumour volume (GPTV). The minimum-redundancy maximum-relevance (mRMR) feature ranking method and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm were used to eliminate redundant radiomic features. Predictive models combined with clinical features and radiomic signatures were established. Multivarible logistic regression analysis was used to establish the combined model and develop a nomogram. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. RESULTS In the testing cohort, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the GTV, PTV, and GPTV radiomic models was 0.701 (95% CI: 0.589-0.814), 0.674 (95% CI: 0.557-0.791) and 0.755 (95% CI: 0.643-0.867), respectively. The AUC of the nomogram model based on clinical and GPTV radiomic signatures was 0.804 (95% CI: 0.707-0.901). CONCLUSION The nomogram model based on clinical and GPTV radiomic signatures can better predict benign and malignant pulmonary nodules with halo signs, demonstrating that the model has potential as a convenient and effective auxiliary diagnostic tool for radiologists.

This study was undertaken to investigate whether 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT features extracted from different radiomic zones within the prostate gland might predict response to ADT in patients with advanced prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: A total of 35 patients with prostate adenocarcinoma underwent two 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scans—termed PET-1 and PET-2—before and after 3 months of ADT, respectively. The prostate was divided into three radiomic zones, with zone-1 being the metabolic tumor zone, zone-2 the proximal peripheral tumor zone, and zone-3 the extended peripheral tumor zone. Patients in the response group were those who showed a reduction ratio > 30% for PET-derived parameters measured at PET-1 and PET-2. The remaining patients were classified as non-responders. Results: Seven features (glcm_idmn, glcm_idn, glcm_imc1, ngtdm_Contrast, glrlm_rln, gldm_dn, and shape_MeshVolume) from zone-1, two features (gldm_sdlgle and shape_MinorAxisLength) from zone-2, and two features (diagnostics_Mask-interpolated_Minimum and shape_Sphericity) from zone-3 successfully distinguished responders from non-responders to ADT. One predictive feature (shape_SurfaceVolumeRatio) was consistently identified in all of the three zones. Conclusions: this study demonstrates the potential usefulness of radiomic features extracted from different prostatic zones in distinguishing responders from non-responders prior to ADT initiation.

Abstract
To develop and validate a predictive model based on clinical radiology and radiomics to enhance the ability to distinguish between benign and malignant solitary solid pulmonary nodules. In this study, we retrospectively collected computed tomography (CT) images and clinical data of 286 patients with isolated solid pulmonary nodules diagnosed by surgical pathology, including 155 peripheral adenocarcinomas and 131 benign nodules. They were randomly divided into a training set and verification set at a 7:3 ratio, and 851 radiomic features were extracted from thin-layer enhanced venous phase CT images by outlining intranodal and perinodal regions of interest. We conducted preprocessing measures of image resampling and eigenvalue normalization. The minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso) methods were used to downscale and select features. At the same time, univariate and multifactorial analyses were performed to screen clinical radiology features. Finally, we constructed a nomogram based on clinical radiology, intranodular, and perinodular radiomics features. Model performance was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and the clinical decision curve (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical practicability of the models. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the two clinical factors of sex and age were statistically significant. Lasso screened four intranodal and four perinodal radiomic features. The nomogram based on clinical radiology, intranodular, and perinodular radiomics features showed the best predictive performance (AUC=0.95, accuracy=0.89, sensitivity=0.83, specificity=0.96), which was superior to other independent models. A nomogram based on clinical radiology, intranodular, and perinodular radiomics features is helpful to improve the ability to predict benign and malignant solitary pulmonary nodules.

Radiomics for differentiating minimally invasive adenocarcinoma from precursor lesions in pure ground-glass opacities on chest computed tomography. Br J Radiol 2022; 95:20210768. [PMID: 35262392 PMCID: PMC10996418 DOI: 10.1259/bjr.20210768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 02/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation between radiomic features and the pathology of pure ground-glass opacities (pGGOs), we established a radiomics model for predicting the pathological subtypes of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and precursor lesions. METHODS CT images of 1521 patients with lung adenocarcinoma or precursor lesions appearing as pGGOs on CT in our hospital (The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University) from January 2015 to March 2021 were analyzed retrospectively and selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. pGGOs were divided into an atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH)/adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) group and an MIA group. Radiomic features were extracted from the original and preprocessed images of the region of interest. ANOVA and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator feature selection algorithm were used for feature selection. Logistic regression algorithm was used to construct radiomics prediction model. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the classification efficiency. RESULTS 129 pGGOs were included. 2107 radiomic features were extracted from each region of interest. 18 radiomic features were eventually selected for model construction. The area under the curve of the radiomics model was 0.884 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.818-0.949] in the training set and 0.872 (95% CI, 0.756-0.988) in the test set, with a sensitivity of 72.73%, specificity of 88.24% and accuracy of 79.47%. The decision curve indicated that the model had a high net benefit rate. CONCLUSION The prediction model for pathological subtypes of MIA and precursor lesions in pGGOs demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE We focused on lesions appearing as pGGOs on CT and revealed the differences in radiomic features between MIA and precursor lesions. We constructed a radiomics prediction model and improved the diagnostic accuracy for the pathology of MIA and precursor lesions.

Predictive Efficacy of a Radiomics Random Forest Model for Identifying Pathological Subtypes of Lung Adenocarcinoma Presenting as Ground-Glass Nodules. Front Oncol 2022; 12:872503. [PMID: 35646675 PMCID: PMC9133455 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.872503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To establish and verify the ability of a radiomics prediction model to distinguish invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) and minimal invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) presenting as ground-glass nodules (GGNs). Methods We retrospectively analyzed 118 lung GGN images and clinical data from 106 patients in our hospital from March 2016 to April 2019. All pathological classifications of lung GGN were confirmed as IAC or MIA by two pathologists. R language software (version 3.5.1) was used for the statistical analysis of the general clinical data. ITK-SNAP (version 3.6) and A.K. software (Analysis Kit, American GE Company) were used to manually outline the regions of interest of lung GGNs and collect three-dimensional radiomics features. Patients were randomly divided into training and verification groups (ratio, 7:3). Random forest combined with hyperparameter tuning was used for feature selection and prediction modeling. The receiver operating characteristic curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate model prediction efficacy. The calibration curve was used to evaluate the calibration effect. Results There was no significant difference between IAC and MIA in terms of age, gender, smoking history, tumor history, and lung GGN location in both the training and verification groups (P>0.05). For each lung GGN, the collected data included 396 three-dimensional radiomics features in six categories. Based on the training cohort, nine optimal radiomics features in three categories were finally screened out, and a prediction model was established. We found that the training group had a high diagnostic efficacy [accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of the training group were 0.89 (95%CI, 0.73 - 0.99), 0.98 (95%CI, 0.78 - 1.00), 0.81 (95%CI, 0.59 - 1.00), and 0.97 (95%CI, 0.92-1.00), respectively; those of the validation group were 0.80 (95%CI, 0.58 - 0.93), 0.82 (95%CI, 0.55 - 1.00), 0.78 (95%CI, 0.57 - 1.00), and 0.92 (95%CI, 0.83 - 1.00), respectively]. The model calibration curve showed good consistency between the predicted and actual probabilities. Conclusions The radiomics prediction model established by combining random forest with hyperparameter tuning effectively distinguished IAC from MIA presenting as GGNs and represents a noninvasive, low-cost, rapid, and reproducible preoperative prediction method for clinical application.

[PMID: 34995082 PMCID: PMC10993960 DOI: 10.1259/bjr.20211048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a radiomic model based on low-dose CT (LDCT) to distinguish invasive adenocarcinomas (IAs) from adenocarcinoma in situ/minimally invasive adenocarcinomas (AIS/MIAs) manifesting as pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) and compare its performance with conventional quantitative and semantic features of LDCT, radiomic model of standard-dose CT, and intraoperative frozen section (FS). METHODS A total of 147 consecutive pathologically confirmed pGGNs were divided into primary cohort (43 IAs and 60 AIS/MIAs) and validation cohort (19 IAs and 25 AIS/MIAs). Logistic regression models were built using conventional quantitative and semantic features, selected radiomic features of LDCT and standard-dose CT, and intraoperative FS diagnosis, respectively. The diagnostic performance was assessed by area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, and specificity. RESULTS The AUCs of quantitative-semantic model, radiomic model of LDCT, radiomic model of standard-dose CT, and FS model were 0.879 (95% CI, 0.801-0.935), 0.929 (95% CI, 0.862-0.971), 0.941 (95% CI, 0.876-0.978), and 0.884 (95% CI, 0.805-0.938) in the primary cohort and 0.897 (95% CI, 0.768-0.968), 0.933 (95% CI, 0.815-0.986), 0.901 (95% CI, 0.773-0.970), and 0.828 (95% CI, 0.685-0.925) in the validation cohort. No significant difference of the AUCs was found among these models in both the primary and validation cohorts (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The LDCT-based quantitative-semantic score and radiomic signature, with good predictive performance, can be pre-operative and non-invasive biomarkers for assessing the invasive risk of pGGNs in lung cancer screening. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE The LDCT-based quantitative-semantic score and radiomic signature, with the equivalent performance to the radiomic model of standard-dose CT, can be pre-operative predictors for assessing the invasiveness of pGGNs in lung cancer screening and reducing excess examination and treatment.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer-related death around the world. With the recent introduction of low-dose lung computed tomography for lung cancer screening, there has been an increasing number of smoking- and non-smoking-related lung cancer cases worldwide that are manifesting with subsolid nodules, especially in Asian populations. However, the pros and cons of lung cancer screening also follow the implementation of lung cancer screening programs. Here, we review the literature related to radiomics for early lung cancer diagnosis. There are four main radiomics applications: the classification of lung nodules as being malignant/benign; determining the degree of invasiveness of the lung adenocarcinoma; histopathologic subtyping; and prognostication in lung cancer prediction models. In conclusion, radiomics offers great potential to improve diagnosis and personalized risk stratification in early lung cancer diagnosis through patient–doctor cooperation and shared decision making.

Abstract
Background A preoperative predictive model is needed that can be used to identify patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) who have a higher risk of recurrence or metastasis. Purpose To investigate associations between CT-based radiomic consensus clustering of stage I LUAD and clinical-pathologic features, genomic data, and patient outcomes. Materials and Methods Patients who underwent complete surgical resection for LUAD from April 2014 to December 2017 with preoperative CT and next-generation sequencing data were retrospectively identified. Comprehensive radiomic analysis was performed on preoperative CT images; tumors were classified as solid, ground glass, or mixed. Patients were clustered into groups based on their radiomics features using consensus clustering, and clusters were compared with tumor genomic alterations, histopathologic features, and recurrence-specific survival (Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous data, χ2 or Fisher exact test for categorical data, and log-rank test for recurrence-specific survival). Cluster analysis was performed on the entire cohort and on the solid, ground-glass, and mixed lesion subgroups. Results In total, 219 patients were included in the study (median age, 68 years; interquartile range, 63-74 years; 150 [68%] women). Four radiomic clusters were identified. Cluster 1 was associated with lepidic, acinar, and papillary subtypes (76 of 90 [84%]); clusters 2 (13 of 50 [26%]) and 4 (13 of 45 [29%]) were associated with solid and micropapillary subtypes (P < .001). The EGFR alterations were highest in cluster 1 (38 of 90 [42%], P = .004). Clusters 2, 3, and 4 were associated with lymphovascular invasion (19 of 50 [38%], 14 of 34 [41%], and 28 of 45 [62%], respectively; P < .001) and tumor spread through air spaces (32 of 50 [64%], 21 of 34 [62%], and 31 of 45 [69%], respectively; P < .001). STK11 alterations (14 of 45 [31%]; P = .006), phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway alterations (22 of 45 [49%], P < .001), and risk of recurrence (log-rank P < .001) were highest in cluster 4. Conclusion CT-based radiomic consensus clustering enabled identification of associations between radiomic features and clinicalpathologic and genomic features and outcomes in patients with clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma. © RSNA, 2022 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a preoperative CT-based nomogram combined with radiomic and clinical-radiological signatures to distinguish preinvasive lesions from pulmonary invasive lesions. METHODS This was a retrospective, diagnostic study conducted from August 1, 2018, to May 1, 2020, at three centers. Patients with a solitary pulmonary nodule were enrolled in the GDPH center and were divided into two groups (7:3) randomly: development (n = 149) and internal validation (n = 54). The SYSMH center and the ZSLC Center formed an external validation cohort of 170 patients. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and logistic regression analysis were used to feature signatures and transform them into models. RESULTS The study comprised 373 individuals from three independent centers (female: 225/373, 60.3%; median [IQR] age, 57.0 [48.0-65.0] years). The AUCs for the combined radiomic signature selected from the nodular area and the perinodular area were 0.93, 0.91, and 0.90 in the three cohorts. The nomogram combining the clinical and combined radiomic signatures could accurately predict interstitial invasion in patients with a solitary pulmonary nodule (AUC, 0.94, 0.90, 0.92) in the three cohorts, respectively. The radiomic nomogram outperformed any clinical or radiomic signature in terms of clinical predictive abilities, according to a decision curve analysis and the Akaike information criteria. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that a nomogram constructed by identified clinical-radiological signatures and combined radiomic signatures has the potential to precisely predict pathology invasiveness. KEY POINTS • The radiomic signature from the perinodular area has the potential to predict pathology invasiveness of the solitary pulmonary nodule. • The new radiomic nomogram was useful in clinical decision-making associated with personalized surgical intervention and therapeutic regimen selection in patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer.

Abstract
Background Pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) have been considered inert tumors due to their biological behavior; however, their prognosis is not completely consistent because of differences in internal pathological component. The aim of this study was to explore whether radiomics can be used to identify the invasiveness of pGGNs. Methods The retrospective study received the relevant ethical approval. After postoperative pathological confirmation, sixty-five patients with lung adenocarcinoma pGGNs (≤30 mm) were enrolled in this study from January 2015 to October 2018. All the cases were randomly divided into training and test groups in a 7:3 ratio. In total, 385 radiomics features were obtained from HRCT images, and then least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression was applied to the training group to obtain optimal features to distinguish the invasion degree of lesions. The diagnostic efficiency of the radiomics model was estimated by the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating curve (ROC), and verified by the test group. Results The optimal features (“GLCMEntropy_angle135_offset1” and “Sphericity”) were selected after applying the LASSO regression to develop the proposed radiomics model. This prediction model exhibited good differentiation between pre-invasive and invasive lesions. The AUC for the test group was 0.824 (95%CI: 0.599-1.000), indicating that the radiomics model has some prediction ability. Conclusion The HRCT radiomics features can discriminate pre-invasive from invasive lung adenocarcinoma pGGNs. This non-invasive method can provide more information for surgeons before operation, and can also predict the prognosis of patients to some extent.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to develop a preoperative positron emission tomography (PET)-based radiomics model for predicting peritoneal metastasis (PM) of gastric cancer (GC). Methods In this study, a total of 355 patients (109PM+, 246PM-) who underwent preoperative fluorine-18-fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET images were retrospectively analyzed. According to a 7:3 ratio, patients were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set. Radiomics features and metabolic parameters data were extracted from PET images. The radiomics features were selected by logistic regression after using maximum relevance and minimum redundancy (mRMR) and the least shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method. The radiomics models were based on the rest of these features. The performance of the models was determined by their discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness in the training and validation sets. Results After dimensionality reduction, 12 radiomics feature parameters were obtained to construct radiomics signatures. According to the results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis, only carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), and the radiomics signature showed statistically significant differences between patients (P<0.05). A radiomics model was developed based on the logistic analyses with an AUC of 0.86 in the training cohort and 0.87 in the validation cohort. The clinical prediction model based on CA125 and SUVmax was 0.76 in the training set and 0.69 in the validation set. The comprehensive model, which contained a rad-score and the clinical factor (CA125) as well as the metabolic parameter (SUVmax), showed promising performance with an AUC of 0.90 in the training cohort and 0.88 in the validation cohort, respectively. The calibration curve showed the actual rate of the nomogram-predicted probability of peritoneal metastasis. Decision curve analysis (DCA) also demonstrated the good clinical utility of the radiomics nomogram. Conclusions The comprehensive model based on the rad-score and other factors (SUVmax, CA125) can provide a novel tool for predicting peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer patients preoperatively.

Abstract
Introduction Tumors are continuously evolving biological systems which can be monitored by medical imaging. Previous studies only focus on single timepoint images, whether the performance could be further improved by using serial noncontrast CT imaging obtained during nodule follow-up management remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated DL model for predicting tumor invasiveness of GGNs through analyzing time series CT images. Methods A total of 168 pathologically confirmed GGN cases (48 noninvasive lesions and 120 invasive lesions) were retrospectively collected and randomly assigned to the development dataset (n = 123) and independent testing dataset (n = 45). All patients underwent consecutive noncontrast CT examinations, and the baseline CT and 3-month follow-up CT images were collected. The gross region of interest (ROI) patches containing only tumor region and the full ROI patches including both tumor and peritumor regions were cropped from CT images. A baseline model was built on the image features and demographic features. Four DL models were proposed: two single-DL model using gross ROI (model 1) or full ROI patches (model 3) from baseline CT images, and two serial-DL models using gross ROI (model 2) or full ROI patches (model 4) from consecutive CT images (baseline scan and 3-month follow-up scan). In addition, a combined model integrating serial full ROI patches and clinical information was also constructed. The performance of these predictive models was assessed with respect to discrimination and clinical usefulness. Results The area under the curve (AUC) of the baseline model, models 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 0.562 [(95% confidence interval (C)], 0.406~0.710), 0.693 (95% CI, 0.538-0.822), 0.787 (95% CI, 0.639-0.895), 0.727 (95% CI, 0.573-0.849), and 0.811 (95% CI, 0.667-0.912) in the independent testing dataset, respectively. The results indicated that the peritumor region had potential to contribute to tumor invasiveness prediction, and the model performance was further improved by integrating imaging scans at multiple timepoints. Furthermore, the combined model showed best discrimination ability, with AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy achieving 0.831 (95% CI, 0.690-0.926), 86.7%, 73.3%, and 82.2%, respectively. Conclusion The DL model integrating full ROIs from serial CT images shows improved predictive performance in differentiating noninvasive from invasive GGNs than the model using only baseline CT images, which could benefit the clinical management of GGNs.

Abstract
Background Accurate evaluation of lymph node (LN) status is critical for determining the treatment options in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to develop and validate a 18F-FDG PET-based radiomic model for the identification of metastatic LNs from the hypermetabolic mediastinal–hilar LNs in NSCLC. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 259 patients with hypermetabolic LNs who underwent pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT and were pathologically confirmed as NSCLC from two centers. Two hundred twenty-eight LNs were allocated to a training cohort (LN = 159) and an internal validation cohort (LN = 69) from one center (7:3 ratio), and 60 LNs were enrolled to an external validation cohort from the other. Radiomic features were extracted from LNs of PET images. A PET radiomics signature was constructed by multivariable logistic regression after using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method with 10-fold cross-validation. The PET radiomics signature (model 1) and independent predictors from CT image features and clinical data (model 2) were incorporated into a combined model (model 3). A nomogram was plotted for the complex model, and the performance of the nomogram was assessed by its discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness. Results The area under the curve (AUC) values of model 1 were 0.820, 0.785, and 0.808 in the training, internal, and external validation cohorts, respectively, showing good diagnostic efficacy for lymph node metastasis (LNM). Furthermore, model 2 was able to discriminate metastatic LNs in the training (AUC 0.780), internal (AUC 0.794), and external validation cohorts (AUC 0.802), respectively. Model 3 showed optimal diagnostic performance among the three cohorts, with an AUC of 0.874, 0.845, and 0.841, respectively. The nomogram based on the model 3 showed good discrimination and calibration. Conclusions Our study revealed that PET radiomics signature, especially when integrated with CT imaging features, showed the ability to identify true and false positives of mediastinal–hilar LNM detected by PET/CT in patients with NSCLC, which would help clinicians to make individual treatment decisions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide an overview of the available studies investigating the use of computer tomography (CT) radiomics features for differentiating invasive adenocarcinomas (IAC) from indolent lung adenocarcinomas presenting as ground-glass nodules (GGNs), to identify the bias of the studies and to propose directions for future research. METHOD PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection were searched for relevant studies. The studies differentiating IAC from indolent lung adenocarcinomas appearing as GGNs based on CT radiomics features were included. Basic information, patient information, CT-scanner information, technique information and performance information were extracted for each included study. The quality of each study was assessed using the Radiomic Quality Score (RQS) and the Prediction model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST). RESULTS Twenty-eight studies were included with patients ranging from 34 to 794. All of them were retrospective. Patients in three studies were from multiple centers. Most studies segmented regions of interest manually. Pyradiomics and AK software were the most frequently used for features extraction. The number of radiomics features extracted varied from 7 to 10329. Logistic regression was the most frequently chosen model. Entropy was identified as radiomics signature in seven studies. The AUC of included studies ranged from 0.77 to 0.98 in 15 validation sets. The percentage RQS ranged from 3% to 50%. According to PROBAST, the overall risk of bias (ROB) was high in 89.3% (25/28) of included studies, unclear in 7.1% (2/28) of included studies, and low in 3.6% (1/28) of included studies. All studies were low concern regarding the applicability of primary studies to the review question. CONCLUSION CT radiomics-based model is promising and encouraging in differentiating IAC from indolent lung adenocarcinomas, though they require methodological rigor. Well-designed studies are necessary to demonstrate their validity and standardization of methods and results can prompt their use in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE In most radiomic studies related to cancer research, the traditional tumor-centric view has predominated. In this retrospective study, we go beyond the single-tumor region and investigate the utility of proposed radiomic zones for risk classification and clinical outcome predictions using radiomic features extracted from 11 C-choline positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and supervised machine learning in prostate tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-seven prostate tumors were selected and delineated. The prostate organ was divided into three radiomic zones, with zone-1 being the metabolic tumor zone, zone-2 the proximal peripheral tumor zone, and zone-3 the extended peripheral tumor zone. LIFEx was used for PET-radiomic feature extraction. Risk groups were created using Gleason scores (GS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, clinical TNM staging, and progression-free survival (PFS). Random forest (RF) and AdaBoost advanced machine learning algorithms were used for supervised machine learning. Accuracy, positive predictive value, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AreaROC), and other metrics were calculated for comparisons of predictive performance between zones. RESULTS For the GS risk classification group, the accuracies of risk classification predictions were 71%, 71%, and 67% using RF and 65%, 64%, and 63% using AdaBoost for zones -1, -2, and -3, respectively. For the PSA group, the accuracies of risk classification predictions were 74%, 65%, and 64% using RF and 76%, 66%, and 67% using AdaBoost for zones -1, -2, and -3, respectively. For the TNM group, the accuracies of risk classification predictions were 68%, 76%, and 78% using RF and 66%, 75%, and 80% using AdaBoost for zones -1, -2, and -3, respectively. For the PFS group, the accuracies of clinical outcome predictions were 77%, 75%, and 83% using RF and 77%, 74%, and 83% using AdaBoost in zones -1, -2, and -3, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We proposed three radiomic zones with different standard uptake value characteristics and created four risk groups of prostate cancer patients for testing this idea. We showed that these radiomic zones have different predicting strengths in classifying risk groups and might allow us to identify a radiomic zone with higher accuracy for patient outcome prediction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the deadliest form of lung cancer, partly because of its short doubling time. Delays in imaging identification and diagnosis of nodules create a risk for stage migration. The purpose of our study was to determine if a machine learning radiomics model can detect SCLC on computed tomography (CT) among all nodules at least 1 cm in size. MATERIALS AND METHODS Computed tomography scans from a single institution were selected and resampled to 1 × 1 × 1 mm. Studies were divided into SCLC and other scans comprising benign, adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma that were segregated into group A (noncontrast scans) and group B (contrast-enhanced scans). Four machine learning classification models, support vector classifier, random forest (RF), XGBoost, and logistic regression, were used to generate radiomic models using 59 quantitative first-order and texture Imaging Biomarker Standardization Initiative compliant PyRadiomics features, which were found to be robust between two segmenters with minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance feature selection within each leave-one-out-cross-validation to avoid overfitting. The performance was evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic curve. A final model was created using the RF classifier and aggregate minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance to determine feature importance. RESULTS A total of 103 studies were included in the analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for RF, support vector classifier, XGBoost, and logistic regression was 0.81, 0.77, 0.84, and 0.84 in group A, and 0.88, 0.87, 0.85, and 0.81 in group B, respectively. Nine radiomic features in group A and 14 radiomic features in group B were predictive of SCLC. Six radiomic features overlapped between groups A and B. CONCLUSION A machine learning radiomics model may help differentiate SCLC from other lung lesions.

Wu L, Gao C, Ye J, Tao J, Wang N, Pang P, Xiang P, Xu M. The value of various peritumoral radiomic features in differentiating the invasiveness of adenocarcinoma manifesting as ground-glass nodules. Eur Radiol 2021; 31:9030-9037. [PMID: 34037830 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-021-07948-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Revised: 02/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the ability of CT radiomic features extracted from peritumoral parenchyma of 2 mm and 5 mm distinguishing invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) from adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)/minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA). METHODS For this retrospective study, 121 lung adenocarcinomas appearing as ground-glass nodules on thin-section CT were evaluated. Quantitative radiomic features were extracted from the peritumoral parenchymal region of 2 mm and 5 mm on CT imaging, and the radiomic models of External2 and External5 were constructed. The ROC curves were used to evaluate the performance of different models. Differences between the AUCs were evaluated using DeLong's method. RESULTS The radiomic scores of IAC were statistically higher than those of MIA/AIS in both the External2 and External5 models. The AUCs of the External2 and External5 models were 0.882, 0.778 in the training cohort and 0.888, 0.804 in the validation cohort, respectively. The AUC of the External2 model was not statistically different from the External5 model both in the training cohort (p = 0.116) and validation cohort (p = 0.423). CONCLUSIONS The radiomic features extracted from the peritumoral region of 2 mm and 5 mm at thin-section CT showed good predictive values to differentiate the IAC from AIS/MIA. The radiomic features from the peritumoral region of 5 mm provide no additional benefit in distinguishing IAC from MIA/AIS than that of the 2 mm region. KEY POINTS • The radiomic models from various peritumoral lung parenchyma were developed and validated to predict invasiveness of adenocarcinoma. • The peritumoral parenchyma of lung adenocarcinoma may contain useful information. • Radiomics from peritumoral lung parenchyma of 5 mm provides no added efficiency of the prediction for invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma.

Radiomics complements clinical, radiological, and technical features to assess local control of colorectal cancer lung metastases treated with radiofrequency ablation. Eur Radiol 2021; 31:8302-8314. [PMID: 33954806 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-021-07998-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 03/21/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of lung metastases of colorectal origin can improve patient survival and quality of life. Our aim was to identify pre- and per-RFA features predicting local control of lung metastases following RFA. METHODS This case-control single-center retrospective study included 119 lung metastases treated with RFA in 48 patients (median age: 60 years). Clinical, technical, and radiological data before and on early CT scan (at 48 h) were retrieved. After CT scan preprocessing, 64 radiomics features were extracted from pre-RFA and early control CT scans. Log-rank tests were used to detect categorical variables correlating with post-RFA local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS). Radiomics prognostic scores (RPS) were developed on reproducible radiomics features using Monte-Carlo cross-validated LASSO Cox regressions. RESULTS Twenty-six of 119 (21.8%) nodules demonstrated local progression (median delay: 11.2 months). In univariate analysis, four non-radiomics variables correlated with post-RFA-LTPFS: nodule size (> 15 mm, p < 0.001), chosen electrode (with difference between covered array and nodule diameter < 20 mm or non-expandable electrode, p = 0.03), per-RFA intra-alveolar hemorrhage (IAH, p = 0.002), and nodule location into the ablation zone (not seen or in contact with borders, p = 0.005). The highest prognostic performance was reached with the multivariate model including a RPS built on 4 radiomics features from pre-RFA and early revaluation CT scans (cross-validated concordance index= 0.74) in which this RPS remained an independent predictor (cross-validated HR = 3.49, 95% confidence interval = [1.76 - 6.96]). CONCLUSIONS Technical, radiological, and radiomics features of the lung metastases before RFA and of the ablation zone at 48 h can help discriminate nodules at risk of local progression that could benefit from complementary local procedure. KEY POINTS • The highest prognostic performance to predict post-RFA LTPFS was reached with a parsimonious model including a radiomics score built with 4 radiomics features. • Nodule size, difference between electrode diameter, use of non-expandable electrode, per-RFA hemorrhage, and a tumor not seen or in contact with the ablation zone borders at 48-h CT were correlated with post-RFA LTPFS.

A COVID-19 risk score combining chest CT radiomics and clinical characteristics to differentiate COVID-19 pneumonia from other viral pneumonias. Aging (Albany NY) 2021; 13:9186-9224.

Abstract
With the continued transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) throughout the world, identification of highly suspected COVID-19 patients remains an urgent priority. In this study, we developed and validated COVID-19 risk scores to identify patients with COVID-19. In this study, for patient-wise analysis, three signatures, including the risk score using radiomic features only, the risk score using clinical factors only, and the risk score combining radiomic features and clinical variables, show an excellent performance in differentiating COVID-19 from other viral-induced pneumonias in the validation set. For lesion-wise analysis, the risk score using three radiomic features only also achieved an excellent AUC value. In contrast, the performance of 130 radiologists based on the chest CT images alone without the clinical characteristics included was moderate as compared to the risk scores developed. The risk scores depicting the correlation of CT radiomics and clinical factors with COVID-19 could be used to accurately identify patients with COVID-19, which would have clinically translatable diagnostic and therapeutic implications from a precision medicine perspective.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lung cancer ranks second in new cancer cases and first in cancer-related deaths worldwide. Precision medicine is working on altering treatment approaches and improving outcomes in this patient population. Radiological images are a powerful non-invasive tool in the screening and diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer, treatment strategy support, prognosis assessment, and follow-up for advanced-stage lung cancer. Recently, radiological features have evolved from solely semantic to include (handcrafted and deep) radiomic features. Radiomics entails the extraction and analysis of quantitative features from medical images using mathematical and machine learning methods to explore possible ties with biology and clinical outcomes. METHODS Here, we outline the latest applications of both structural and functional radiomics in detection, diagnosis, and prediction of pathology, gene mutation, treatment strategy, follow-up, treatment response evaluation, and prognosis in the field of lung cancer. CONCLUSION The major drawbacks of radiomics are the lack of large datasets with high-quality data, standardization of methodology, the black-box nature of deep learning, and reproducibility. The prerequisite for the clinical implementation of radiomics is that these limitations are addressed. Future directions include a safer and more efficient model-training mode, merge multi-modality images, and combined multi-discipline or multi-omics to form "Medomics."

Abstract
To investigate the value of percentile base on computed tomography (CT) histogram analysis for distinguishing invasive adenocarcinoma (IA) from adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) or micro invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) appearing as pure ground-glass nodules.A total of 42 cases of pure ground-glass nodules that were surgically resected and pathologically confirmed as lung adenocarcinoma between January 2015 and May 2019 were included. Cases were divided into IA and AIS/MIA in the study. The percentile on CT histogram was compared between the 2 groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine which factors demonstrated a significant effect on invasiveness. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the predictive ability of individual characteristics and the combined model.The 4 histogram parameters (25th percentile, 55th percentile, 95th percentile, 97.5th percentile) and the combined model all showed a certain diagnostic value. The combined model demonstrated the best diagnostic performance. The AUC values were as follows: 25th percentile = 0.693, 55th percentile = 0.706, 95th percentile = 0.713, 97.5th percentile = 0.710, and combined model = 0.837 (all P < .05).The percentile of histogram parameters help to improve the ability to radiologically determine the invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma appearing as pure ground-glass nodules.

A Preliminary Study for Distinguish Hormone-Secreting Functional Adrenocortical Adenoma Subtypes Using Multiparametric CT Radiomics-Based Machine Learning Model and Nomogram. Front Oncol 2020; 10:570502. [PMID: 33117700 PMCID: PMC7552922 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2020.570502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To explore the application value of multiparametric computed tomography (CT) radiomics in non-invasive differentiation between aldosterone-producing and cortisol-producing functional adrenocortical adenomas. Methods: This retrospective review analyzed 83 patients including 41 patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma and 42 patients with cortisol-producing adenoma. The quantitative radiomics features were extracted from the complete unenhanced, arterial, and venous phase CT images. A comparative study of several frequently used machine learning models (linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression, random forest, and support vector machine) combined with different feature selection methods was implemented in order to determine which was most advantageous for differential diagnosis using radiomics features. Then, the integrated model using the combination of radiomic signature and clinic-radiological features was built, and the associated calibration curve was also presented. The diagnostic performance of these models was estimated and compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). Result: In the radiomics-based machine learning model, logistic regression model with LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) outperformed the other models, which yielded a sensitivity of 0.935, a specificity of 0.823, and an accuracy of 0.887 [AUC = 0.882, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.819-0.945]. Moreover, the nomogram representing the integrated model achieved good discrimination performances, which yielded a sensitivity of 0.915, a specificity of 0.928, and an accuracy of 0.922 (AUC = 0.902, 95% CI = 0.822-0.982), and it was better than that of the radiomics model alone. Conclusion: This study found that the combination of multiparametric radiomics signature and clinic-radiological features can non-invasively differentiate the subtypes of hormone-secreting functional adrenocortical adenomas, which may have good potential for facilitating the diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.
