Magn Reson Imaging 2024; 111:168-178. [PMID: 38729227 DOI: 10.1016/j.mri.2024.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The early differential diagnosis of the postoperative recurrence or pseudoprogression (psPD) of a glioma is of great guiding significance for individualized clinical treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of a multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics model to distinguish between the postoperative recurrence and psPD of a glioma early on and in a noninvasive manner. METHODS A total of 52 patients with gliomas who attended the Hainan Provincial People's Hospital between 2000 and 2021 and met the inclusion criteria were selected for this study. 1137 and 1137 radiomic features were extracted from T1 enhanced and T2WI/FLAIR sequence images, respectively.After clearing some invalid information and LASSO screening, a total of 9 and 10 characteristic radiological features were extracted and randomly divided into the training set and the test set according to 7:3 ratio. Select-Kbest and minimum Absolute contraction and selection operator (LASSO) were used for feature selection. Support vector machine and logistic regression were used to form a multi-parameter model for training and prediction. The optimal sequence and classifier were selected according to the area under the curve (AUC) and accuracy. RESULTS Radiomic models 1, 2 and 3 based on T1WI, T2FLAIR and T1WI + T2T2FLAIR sequences have better performance in the identification of postoperative recurrence and false progression of T1 glioma. The performance of model 2 is more stable, and the performance of support vector machine classifier is more stable. The multiparameter model based on CE-T1 + T2WI/FLAIR sequence showed the best performance (AUC:0.96, sensitivity: 0.87, specificity: 0.94, accuracy: 0.89,95% CI:0.93-1). CONCLUSION The use of multiparametric MRI-based radiomics provides a noninvasive, stable, and accurate method for differentiating between the postoperative recurrence and psPD of a glioma, which allows for timely individualized clinical treatment.

The effect of harmonization on the variability of PET radiomic features extracted using various segmentation methods. Ann Nucl Med 2024; 38:493-507. [PMID: 38575814 PMCID: PMC11217131 DOI: 10.1007/s12149-024-01923-7] [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: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to examine the robustness of positron emission tomography (PET) radiomic features extracted via different segmentation methods before and after ComBat harmonization in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS We included 120 patients (positive recurrence = 46 and negative recurrence = 74) referred for PET scanning as a routine part of their care. All patients had a biopsy-proven NSCLC. Nine segmentation methods were applied to each image, including manual delineation, K-means (KM), watershed, fuzzy-C-mean, region-growing, local active contour (LAC), and iterative thresholding (IT) with 40, 45, and 50% thresholds. Diverse image discretizations, both without a filter and with different wavelet decompositions, were applied to PET images. Overall, 6741 radiomic features were extracted from each image (749 radiomic features from each segmented area). Non-parametric empirical Bayes (NPEB) ComBat harmonization was used to harmonize the features. Linear Support Vector Classifier (LinearSVC) with L1 regularization For feature selection and Support Vector Machine classifier (SVM) with fivefold nested cross-validation was performed using StratifiedKFold with 'n_splits' set to 5 to predict recurrence in NSCLC patients and assess the impact of ComBat harmonization on the outcome. RESULTS From 749 extracted radiomic features, 206 (27%) and 389 (51%) features showed excellent reliability (ICC ≥ 0.90) against segmentation method variation before and after NPEB ComBat harmonization, respectively. Among all, 39 features demonstrated poor reliability, which declined to 10 after ComBat harmonization. The 64 fixed bin widths (without any filter) and wavelets (LLL)-based radiomic features set achieved the best performance in terms of robustness against diverse segmentation techniques before and after ComBat harmonization. The first-order and GLRLM and also first-order and NGTDM feature families showed the largest number of robust features before and after ComBat harmonization, respectively. In terms of predicting recurrence in NSCLC, our findings indicate that using ComBat harmonization can significantly enhance machine learning outcomes, particularly improving the accuracy of watershed segmentation, which initially had fewer reliable features than manual contouring. Following the application of ComBat harmonization, the majority of cases saw substantial increase in sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSION Radiomic features are vulnerable to different segmentation methods. ComBat harmonization might be considered a solution to overcome the poor reliability of radiomic features.

Study on an Automatic Classification Method for Determining the Malignancy Grade of Glioma Pathological Sections Based on Hyperspectral Multi-Scale Spatial-Spectral Fusion Features. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:3803. [PMID: 38931588 PMCID: PMC11207485 DOI: 10.3390/s24123803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
This study describes a novel method for grading pathological sections of gliomas. Our own integrated hyperspectral imaging system was employed to characterize 270 bands of cancerous tissue samples from microarray slides of gliomas. These samples were then classified according to the guidelines developed by the World Health Organization, which define the subtypes and grades of diffuse gliomas. We explored a hyperspectral feature extraction model called SMLMER-ResNet using microscopic hyperspectral images of brain gliomas of different malignancy grades. The model combines the channel attention mechanism and multi-scale image features to automatically learn the pathological organization of gliomas and obtain hierarchical feature representations, effectively removing the interference of redundant information. It also completes multi-modal, multi-scale spatial-spectral feature extraction to improve the automatic classification of glioma subtypes. The proposed classification method demonstrated high average classification accuracy (>97.3%) and a Kappa coefficient (0.954), indicating its effectiveness in improving the automatic classification of hyperspectral gliomas. The method is readily applicable in a wide range of clinical settings, offering valuable assistance in alleviating the workload of clinical pathologists. Furthermore, the study contributes to the development of more personalized and refined treatment plans, as well as subsequent follow-up and treatment adjustment, by providing physicians with insights into the underlying pathological organization of gliomas.

Demircioğlu A. Applying oversampling before cross-validation will lead to high bias in radiomics. Sci Rep 2024; 14:11563. [PMID: 38773233 PMCID: PMC11109211 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-62585-z] [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: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Class imbalance is often unavoidable for radiomic data collected from clinical routine. It can create problems during classifier training since the majority class could dominate the minority class. Consequently, resampling methods like oversampling or undersampling are applied to the data to class-balance the data. However, the resampling must not be applied upfront to all data because it would lead to data leakage and, therefore, to erroneous results. This study aims to measure the extent of this bias. Five-fold cross-validation with 30 repeats was performed using a set of 15 radiomic datasets to train predictive models. The training involved two scenarios: first, the models were trained correctly by applying the resampling methods during the cross-validation. Second, the models were trained incorrectly by performing the resampling on all the data before cross-validation. The bias was defined empirically as the difference between the best-performing models in both scenarios in terms of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, balanced accuracy, and the Brier score. In addition, a simulation study was performed on a randomly generated dataset for verification. The results demonstrated that incorrectly applying the oversampling methods to all data resulted in a large positive bias (up to 0.34 in AUC, 0.33 in sensitivity, 0.31 in specificity, and 0.37 in balanced accuracy). The bias depended on the data balance, and approximately an increase of 0.10 in the AUC was observed for each increase in imbalance. The models also showed a bias in calibration measured using the Brier score, which differed by up to -0.18 between the correctly and incorrectly trained models. The undersampling methods were not affected significantly by bias. These results emphasize that any resampling method should be applied correctly only to the training data to avoid data leakage and, subsequently, biased model performance and calibration.

[PMID: 37853176 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-10258-2] [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: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To establish a deep learning (DL) model for predicting tumor grades and expression of pathologic markers of meningioma. METHODS A total of 1192 meningioma patients from two centers who underwent surgical resection between September 2018 and December 2021 were retrospectively included. The pathological data and post-contrast T1-weight images for each patient were collected. The patients from institute I were subdivided into training, validation, and testing sets, while the patients from institute II served as the external testing cohort. The fine-tuned ResNet50 model based on transfer learning was adopted to classify WHO grade in the whole cohort and predict Ki-67 index, H3K27me3, and progesterone receptor (PR) status of grade 1 meningiomas. The predictive performance was evaluated by the accuracy and loss curve, confusion matrix, receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), and area under curve (AUC). RESULTS The DL prediction model for each label achieved high predictive performance in two cohorts. For WHO grade prediction, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.966 (95%CI 0.957-0.975) in the internal testing set and 0.669 (95%CI 0.643-0.695) in the external validation cohort. The AUC in predicting Ki-67 index, H3K27me3, and PR status were 0.905 (95%CI 0.895-0.915), 0.773 (95%CI 0.760-0.786), and 0.771 (95%CI 0.750-0.792) in the internal testing set and 0.591 (95%CI 0.562-0.620), 0.658 (95%CI 0.648-0.668), and 0.703 (95%CI 0.674-0.732) in the external validation cohort, respectively. CONCLUSION DL models can preoperatively predict meningioma grades and pathologic marker expression with favorable predictive performance. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Our DL model could predict meningioma grades and expression of pathologic markers and identify high-risk patients with WHO grade 1 meningioma, which would suggest a more aggressive operative intervention preoperatively and a more frequent follow-up schedule postoperatively. KEY POINTS WHO grades and some pathologic markers of meningioma were associated with therapeutic strategies and clinical outcomes. A deep learning-based approach was employed to develop a model for predicting meningioma grades and the expression of pathologic markers. Preoperative prediction of meningioma grades and the expression of pathologic markers was beneficial for clinical decision-making.

Front Oncol 2024; 14:1267596. [PMID: 38577325 PMCID: PMC10993774 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1267596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics for predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer (EC). Methods The present study conducted a comprehensive search by accessing the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, with the aim of identifying relevant studies published until July 10th, 2023. The diagnostic accuracy was summarized using the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the curve (AUC). The researchers utilized Spearman's correlation coefficient for assessing the threshold effect, besides performing meta-regression and subgroup analysis for the exploration of possible heterogeneity sources. The quality assessment was conducted using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 and the Radiomics Quality Score (RQS). Results The meta-analysis included six studies conducted from 2018 to 2022, with 483 patients enrolled and LNM rates ranging from 27.2% to 59.4%. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, DOR, and AUC, along with their corresponding 95% CI, were 0.73 (0.67, 0.79), 0.76 (0.69, 0.83), 3.1 (2.3, 4.2), 0.35 (0.28, 0.44), 9 (6, 14), and 0.78 (0.74, 0.81), respectively. The results demonstrated the absence of significant heterogeneity in sensitivity, while significant heterogeneity was observed in specificity; no threshold effect was detected. The observed heterogeneity in the specificity was attributed to the sample size and CT-scan phases (P < 0.05). The included studies exhibited suboptimal quality, with RQS ranging from 14 to 16 out of 36. However, most of the enrolled studies exhibited a low-risk bias and minimal concerns relating to applicability. Conclusion The present meta-analysis indicated that CT-based radiomics demonstrated a favorable diagnostic performance in predicting LNM in EC. Nevertheless, additional high-quality, large-scale, and multicenter trials are warranted to corroborate these findings.

Machine-Learning and Radiomics-Based Preoperative Prediction of Ki-67 Expression in Glioma Using MRI Data. Acad Radiol 2024:S1076-6332(24)00079-5. [PMID: 38458887 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2024.02.009] [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: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours and constitute approximately half of all malignant glioblastomas. Unfortunately, patients diagnosed with malignant glioblastomas typically survive for less than a year. In light of this circumstance, genotyping is an effective means of categorising gliomas. The Ki67 proliferation index, a widely used marker of cellular proliferation in clinical contexts, has demonstrated potential for predicting tumour classification and prognosis. In particular, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a vital role in the diagnosis of brain tumours. Using MRI to extract glioma-related features and construct a machine learning model offers a viable avenue to classify and predict the level of Ki67 expression. METHODS This study retrospectively collected MRI data and postoperative immunohistochemical results from 613 glioma patients from the First Affliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Subsequently, we performed registration and skull stripping on the four MRI modalities: T1-weighted (T1), T2-weighted (T2), T1-weighted with contrast enhancement (T1CE), and Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR). Each modality's segmentation yielded three distinct tumour regions. Following segmentation, a comprehensive set of features encompassing texture, first-order, and shape attributes were extracted from these delineated regions. Feature selection was conducted using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm with subsequent sorting to identify the most important features. These selected features were further analysed using correlation analysis to finalise the selection for machine learning model development. Eight models: logistic regression (LR), naive bayes, decision tree, gradient boosting tree, and support vector classification (SVM), random forest (RF), XGBoost, and LightGBM were used to objectively classify Ki67 expression. RESULTS In total, 613 patients were enroled in the study, and 24,455 radiomic features were extracted from each patient's MRI. These features were eventually reduced to 36 after LASSO screening, RF importance ranking, and correlation analysis. Among all the tested machine learning models, LR and linear SVM exhibited superior performance. LR achieved the highest area under the curve score of 0.912 ± 0.036, while linear SVM obtained the top accuracy with a score of 0.884 ± 0.031. CONCLUSION This study introduced a novel approach for classifying Ki67 expression levels using MRI, which has been proven to be highly effective. With the LR model at its core, our method demonstrated its potential in signalling a promising avenue for future research. This innovative approach of predicting Ki67 expression based on MRI features not only enhances our understanding of cell activity but also represents a significant leap forward in brain glioma research. This underscores the potential of integrating machine learning with medical imaging to aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of complex diseases.

Abstract
Gliomas, the most prevalent primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system, present significant challenges in diagnosis and prognosis. The fifth edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (WHO CNS5) published in 2021, has emphasized the role of high-risk molecular markers in gliomas. These markers are crucial for enhancing glioma grading and influencing survival and prognosis. Noninvasive prediction of these high-risk molecular markers is vital. Genetic testing after biopsy, the current standard for determining molecular type, is invasive and time-consuming. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a non-invasive alternative, providing structural and functional insights into gliomas. Advanced MRI methods can potentially reflect the pathological characteristics associated with glioma molecular markers; however, they struggle to fully represent gliomas' high heterogeneity. Artificial intelligence (AI) imaging, capable of processing vast medical image datasets, can extract critical molecular information. AI imaging thus emerges as a noninvasive and efficient method for identifying high-risk molecular markers in gliomas, a recent focus of research. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of AI imaging's role in predicting glioma high-risk molecular markers, highlighting challenges and future directions.

Comparison and analysis of multiple machine learning models for discriminating benign and malignant testicular lesions based on magnetic resonance imaging radiomics. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1279622. [PMID: 38188340 PMCID: PMC10768048 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1279622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Accurate identification of testicular tumors through better lesion characterization can optimize the radical surgical procedures. Here, we compared the performance of different machine learning approaches for discriminating benign testicular lesions from malignant ones, using a radiomics score derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods One hundred fifteen lesions from 108 patients who underwent MRI between February 2014 and July 2022 were enrolled in this study. Based on regions-of-interest, radiomics features extraction can be realized through PyRadiomics. For measuring feature reproducibility, we considered both intraclass and interclass correlation coefficients. We calculated the correlation between each feature and the predicted target, removing redundant features. In our radiomics-based analysis, we trained classifiers on 70% of the lesions and compared different models, including linear discrimination, gradient boosting, and decision trees. We applied each classification algorithm to the training set using different random seeds, repeating this process 10 times and recording performance. The highest-performing model was then tested on the remaining 30% of the lesions. We used widely accepted metrics, such as the area under the curve (AUC), to evaluate model performance. Results We acquired 1,781 radiomic features from the T2-weighted maps of each lesion. Subsequently, we constructed classification models using the top 10 most significant features. The 10 machine-learning algorithms we utilized were capable of diagnosing testicular lesions. Of these, the XGBoost classification emerged as the most superior, achieving the highest AUC value of 0.905 (95% confidence interval: 0.886-0.925) on the testing set and outstripping the other models that typically scored AUC values between 0.697-0.898. Conclusion Preoperative MRI radiomics offers potential for distinguishing between benign and malignant testicular lesions. An ensemble model like the boosting algorithm embodied by XGBoost may outperform other models.

Glioma Tumor Grading Using Radiomics on Conventional MRI: A Comparative Study of WHO 2021 and WHO 2016 Classification of Central Nervous Tumors. J Magn Reson Imaging 2023. [PMID: 38031466 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.29146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioma grading transformed in World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 CNS tumor classification, integrating molecular markers. However, the impact of this change on radiomics-based machine learning (ML) classifiers remains unexplored. PURPOSE To assess the performance of ML in classifying glioma tumor grades based on various WHO criteria. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. SUBJECTS A neuropathologist regraded gliomas of 237 patients into WHO 2016 and 2021 from 2007 criteria. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE Multicentric 0.5 to 3 Tesla; pre- and post-contrast T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery. ASSESSMENT Radiomic features were selected using random forest-recursive feature elimination. The synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) was implemented for data augmentation. Stratified 10-fold cross-validation with and without SMOTE was used to evaluate 11 classifiers for 3-grade (2, 3, and 4; WHO 2016 and 2021) and 2-grade (low and high grade; WHO 2007 and 2021) classification. Additionally, we developed the models on data randomly divided into training and test sets (mixed-data analysis), or data divided based on the centers (independent-data analysis). STATISTICAL TESTS We assessed ML classifiers using sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Top performances were compared with a t-test and categorical data with the chi-square test using a significance level of P < 0.05. RESULTS In the mixed-data analysis, Stacking Classifier without SMOTE achieved the highest accuracy (0.86) and AUC (0.92) in 3-grade WHO 2021 grouping. The results of WHO 2021 were significantly better than WHO 2016 (P-value<0.0001). In the 2-grade analysis, ML achieved 1.00 in all metrics. In the independent-data analysis, ML classifiers showed strong discrimination between grade 2 and 4, despite lower performance metrics than the mixed analysis. DATA CONCLUSION ML algorithms performed better in glioma tumor grading based on WHO 2021 criteria. Nonetheless, the clinical use of ML classifiers needs further investigation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The molecular profile of gliomas is a prognostic indicator for survival, driving clinical decision-making for treatment. Pathology-based molecular diagnosis is challenging because of the invasiveness of the procedure, exclusion from neoadjuvant therapy options, and the heterogeneous nature of the tumor. PURPOSE We performed a systematic review of algorithms that predict molecular subtypes of gliomas from MR Imaging. DATA SOURCES Data sources were Ovid Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science. STUDY SELECTION Per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, 12,318 abstracts were screened and 1323 underwent full-text review, with 85 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. DATA ANALYSIS We compared prediction results from different machine learning approaches for predicting molecular subtypes of gliomas. Bias analysis was conducted for each study, following the Prediction model Risk Of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) guidelines. DATA SYNTHESIS Isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation status was reported with an area under the curve and accuracy of 0.88 and 85% in internal validation and 0.86 and 87% in limited external validation data sets, respectively. For the prediction of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoter methylation, the area under the curve and accuracy in internal validation data sets were 0.79 and 77%, and in limited external validation, 0.89 and 83%, respectively. PROBAST scoring demonstrated high bias in all articles. LIMITATIONS The low number of external validation and studies with incomplete data resulted in unequal data analysis. Comparing the best prediction pipelines of each study may introduce bias. CONCLUSIONS While the high area under the curve and accuracy for the prediction of molecular subtypes of gliomas are reported in internal and external validation data sets, limited use of external validation and the increased risk of bias in all articles may present obstacles for clinical translation of these techniques.

Abstract
Our aim is to investigate the added value of automated machine learning (AutoML) for potential future applications in cancer diagnostics. Using two important diagnostic questions, the non-invasive determination of IDH mutation status and ATRX status, we analyze whether it is possible to use AutoML to develop models that are comparable in performance to conventional machine learning models (ML) developed by experts. For this purpose, we develop AutoML models using different feature preselection methods and compare the results with previously developed conventional ML models. The cohort used for our study comprises T2-weighted MRI images of 124 patients with histologically confirmed gliomas. Using AutoML, we were able to develop sophisticated models in a very short time with only a few lines of computer code. In predicting IDH mutation status, we obtained a mean AUC of 0.7400 and a mean AUPRC of 0.8582. ATRX mutation status was predicted with very similar discriminatory power, with a mean AUC of 0.7810 and a mean AUPRC of 0.8511. In both cases, AutoML was even able to achieve a discriminatory power slightly above that of the respective conventionally developed models in a very short computing time, thus making such methods accessible to non-experts in the near future.

Machine-Learning-Based Radiomics for Classifying Glioma Grade from Magnetic Resonance Images of the Brain. J Pers Med 2023; 13:920. [PMID: 37373909 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13060920] [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: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Grading of gliomas is a piece of critical information related to prognosis and survival. Classifying glioma grade by semantic radiological features is subjective, requires multiple MRI sequences, is quite complex and clinically demanding, and can very often result in erroneous radiological diagnosis. We used a radiomics approach with machine learning classifiers to determine the grade of gliomas. Eighty-three patients with histopathologically proven gliomas underwent MRI of the brain. Whenever available, immunohistochemistry was additionally used to augment the histopathological diagnosis. Segmentation was performed manually on the T2W MR sequence using the TexRad texture analysis softwareTM, Version 3.10. Forty-two radiomics features, which included first-order features and shape features, were derived and compared between high-grade and low-grade gliomas. Features were selected by recursive feature elimination using a random forest algorithm method. The classification performance of the models was measured using accuracy, precision, recall, f1 score, and area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve. A 10-fold cross-validation was adopted to separate the training and the test data. The selected features were used to build five classifier models: support vector machine, random forest, gradient boost, naive Bayes, and AdaBoost classifiers. The random forest model performed the best, achieving an AUC of 0.81, an accuracy of 0.83, f1 score of 0.88, a recall of 0.93, and a precision of 0.85 for the test cohort. The results suggest that machine-learning-based radiomics features extracted from multiparametric MRI images can provide a non-invasive method for predicting glioma grades preoperatively. In the present study, we extracted the radiomics features from a single cross-sectional image of the T2W MRI sequence and utilized these features to build a fairly robust model to classify low-grade gliomas from high-grade gliomas (grade 4 gliomas).

Invasive biopsy for pathology usually carries a high risk of tissue damage, especially to the spinal cord, and there are currently no non-invasive strategies to identify the pathological type of intramedullary gliomas. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a non-invasive machine learning model to assist doctors in identifying the intramedullary glioma grade and mutation status of molecular markers. METHODS A total of 461 patients from two institutions were included, and their sagittal (SAG) and transverse (TRA) T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans and clinical data were acquired preoperatively. We employed a transformer-based deep learning model to automatically segment lesions in the SAG and TRA phases and extract their radiomics features. Different feature representations were fed into the proposed neural networks and compared with those of other mainstream models. RESULTS The dice similarity coefficients of the Swin transformer in the SAG and TRA phases were 0.8697 and 0.8738, respectively. The results demonstrated that the best performance was obtained in our proposed neural networks based on multimodal fusion (SAG-TRA-clinical) features. In the external validation cohort, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for graded (WHO I-II or WHO III-IV), alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) status, and tumor protein p53 (P53) status prediction tasks were 0.8431, 0.7622, and 0.7954, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study reports a novel machine learning strategy that, for the first time, is based on multimodal features to predict the ATRX and P53 mutation status and grades of intramedullary gliomas. The generalized application of these models could non-invasively provide more tumor-specific pathological information for determining the treatment and prognosis of intramedullary gliomas.

Abstract
Radiomics, providing quantitative data extracted from medical images, has emerged as a critical role in diagnosis and classification of diseases such as glioma. One main challenge is how to uncover key disease-relevant features from the large amount of extracted quantitative features. Many existing methods suffer from low accuracy or overfitting. We propose a new method, Multiple-Filter and Multi-Objective-based method (MFMO), to identify predictive and robust biomarkers for disease diagnosis and classification. This method combines a multi-filter feature extraction with a multi-objective optimization-based feature selection model, which identifies a small set of predictive radiomic biomarkers with less redundancy. Taking magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images-based glioma grading as a case study, we identify 10 key radiomic biomarkers that can accurately distinguish low-grade glioma (LGG) from high-grade glioma (HGG) on both training and test datasets. Using these 10 signature features, the classification model reaches training Area Under the receiving operating characteristic Curve (AUC) of 0.96 and test AUC of 0.95, which shows superior performance over existing methods and previously identified biomarkers.

An integrative non-invasive malignant brain tumors classification and Ki-67 labeling index prediction pipeline with radiomics approach. Eur J Radiol 2023; 158:110639. [PMID: 36463703 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2022.110639] [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: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The histological sub-classes of brain tumors and the Ki-67 labeling index (LI) of tumor cells are major factors in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment management of patients. Many existing studies primarily focused on the classification of two classes of brain tumors and the Ki-67LI of gliomas. This study aimed to develop a preoperative non-invasive radiomics pipeline based on multiparametric-MRI to classify-three types of brain tumors, glioblastoma (GBM), metastasis (MET) and primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), and to predict their corresponding Ki-67LI. METHODS In this retrospective study, 153 patients with malignant brain tumors were involved. The radiomics features were extracted from three types of MRI (T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (CE-T1WI)) with three masks (tumor core, edema, and whole tumor masks) and selected by a combination of Pearson correlation coefficient (CORR), LASSO, and Max-Relevance and Min-Redundancy (mRMR) filters. The performance of six classifiers was compared and the top three performing classifiers were used to construct the ensemble learning model (ELM). The proposed ELM was evaluated in the training dataset (108 patients) by 5-fold cross-validation and in the test dataset (45 patients) by hold-out. The accuracy (ACC), sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), F1-Score, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) indicators evaluated the performance of the models. RESULTS The best feature sets and ELM with the optimal performance were selected to construct the tri-categorized brain tumor aided diagnosis model (training dataset AUC: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.93, 0.99); test dataset AUC: 0.93) and Ki-67LI prediction model (training dataset AUC: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.94, 0.98); test dataset AUC: 0.91). The CE-T1WI was the best single modality for all classifiers. Meanwhile, the whole tumor was the most vital mask for the tumor classification and the tumor core was the most vital mask for the Ki-67LI prediction. CONCLUSION The developed radiomics models led to the precise preoperative classification of GBM, MET, and PCNSL and the prediction of Ki-67LI, which could be utilized in clinical practice for the treatment planning for brain tumors.

Abstract
Objective Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP-1) and survivin are associated with radiotherapy resistance in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). This study aimed to evaluate the value of a radiomics model based on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) for the preoperative assessment of LRP-1 and survivin expressions in these patients. Methods One hundred patients with pathologically confirmed LARC who underwent DCE-MRI before surgery between February 2017 and September 2021 were included in this retrospective study. DCE-MRI perfusion histogram parameters were calculated for the entire lesion using post-processing software (Omni Kinetics, G.E. Healthcare, China), with three quantitative parameter maps. LRP-1 and survivin expressions were assessed by immunohistochemical methods and patients were classified into low- and high-expression groups. Results Four radiomics features were selected to construct the LRP-1 discrimination model. The LRP-1 predictive model achieved excellent diagnostic performance, with areas under the receiver operating curve (AUCs) of 0.853 and 0.747 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The other four radiomics characteristics were screened to construct the survivin predictive model, with AUCs of 0.780 and 0.800 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Decision curve analysis confirmed the clinical usefulness of the radiomics models. Conclusion DCE-MRI radiomics models are particularly useful for evaluating LRP-1 and survivin expressions in patients with LARC. Our model has significant potential for the preoperative identification of patients with radiotherapy resistance and can serve as an essential reference for treatment planning.

Abstract
Radiomics is a field of medical imaging analysis that focuses on the extraction of many quantitative imaging features related to shape, intensity and texture. These features are incorporated into models designed to predict important clinical or biological endpoints for patients. Attention for radiomics research has recently grown dramatically due to the increased use of imaging and the availability of large, publicly available imaging datasets. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients stand to benefit from this emerging research field as radiomics has the potential to assess the biological heterogeneity of the tumour, which contributes significantly to the inefficacy of current standard of care therapy. Radiomics models still require further development before they are implemented clinically in GBM patient management. Challenges relating to the standardisation of the radiomics process and the validation of radiomic models impede the progress of research towards clinical implementation. In this manuscript, we review the current state of radiomics in GBM, and we highlight the barriers to clinical implementation and discuss future validation studies needed to advance radiomics models towards clinical application.

Abstract
Gliomas are a heterogenous group of central nervous system tumors with different outcomes and different therapeutic needs. Glioblastoma, the most common subtype in adults, has a very poor prognosis and disabling consequences. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification specifies that the typing and grading of gliomas should include molecular markers. The molecular characterization of gliomas has implications for prognosis, treatment planning, and prediction of treatment response. At present, gliomas are diagnosed via tumor resection or biopsy, which are always invasive and frequently risky methods. In recent years, however, substantial advances have been made in developing different methods for the molecular characterization of tumors through the analysis of products shed in body fluids. Known as liquid biopsies, these analyses can potentially provide diagnostic and prognostic information, guidance on choice of treatment, and real-time information on tumor status. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is another good source of tumor data; radiomics and radiogenomics can link the imaging phenotypes to gene expression patterns and provide insights to tumor biology and underlying molecular signatures. Machine and deep learning and computational techniques can also use quantitative imaging features to non-invasively detect genetic mutations. The key molecular information obtained with liquid biopsies and radiogenomics can be useful not only in the diagnosis of gliomas but can also help predict response to specific treatments and provide guidelines for personalized medicine. In this article, we review the available data on the molecular characterization of gliomas using the non-invasive methods of liquid biopsy and MRI and suggest that these tools could be used in the future for the preoperative diagnosis of gliomas.

Abstract
Technological innovation has enabled the development of machine learning (ML) tools that aim to improve the practice of radiologists. In the last decade, ML applications to neuro-oncology have expanded significantly, with the pre-operative prediction of glioma grade using medical imaging as a specific area of interest. We introduce the subject of ML models for glioma grade prediction by remarking upon the models reported in the literature as well as by describing their characteristic developmental workflow and widely used classifier algorithms. The challenges facing these models-including data sources, external validation, and glioma grade classification methods -are highlighted. We also discuss the quality of how these models are reported, explore the present and future of reporting guidelines and risk of bias tools, and provide suggestions for the reporting of prospective works. Finally, this review offers insights into next steps that the field of ML glioma grade prediction can take to facilitate clinical implementation.

Abstract
Purpose Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, with varying degrees of aggressiveness and prognosis. Accurate glioma classification is very important for treatment planning and prognosis prediction. The main purpose of this study is to design a novel effective algorithm for further improving the performance of glioma subtype classification using multimodal MRI images. Method MRI images of four modalities for 221 glioma patients were collected from Computational Precision Medicine: Radiology-Pathology 2020 challenge, including T1, T2, T1ce, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI images, to classify astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and glioblastoma. We proposed a multimodal MRI image decision fusion-based network for improving the glioma classification accuracy. First, the MRI images of each modality were input into a pre-trained tumor segmentation model to delineate the regions of tumor lesions. Then, the whole tumor regions were centrally clipped from original MRI images followed by max-min normalization. Subsequently, a deep learning-based network was designed based on a unified DenseNet structure, which extracts features through a series of dense blocks. After that, two fully connected layers were used to map the features into three glioma subtypes. During the training stage, we used the images of each modality after tumor segmentation to train the network to obtain its best accuracy on our testing set. During the inferring stage, a linear weighted module based on a decision fusion strategy was applied to assemble the predicted probabilities of the pre-trained models obtained in the training stage. Finally, the performance of our method was evaluated in terms of accuracy, area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), etc. Results The proposed method achieved an accuracy of 0.878, an AUC of 0.902, a sensitivity of 0.772, a specificity of 0.930, a PPV of 0.862, an NPV of 0.949, and a Cohen's Kappa of 0.773, which showed a significantly higher performance than existing state-of-the-art methods. Conclusion Compared with current studies, this study demonstrated the effectiveness and superiority in the overall performance of our proposed multimodal MRI image decision fusion-based network method for glioma subtype classification, which would be of enormous potential value in clinical practice.

[PMID: 35069406 PMCID: PMC8770750 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.752119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Craniopharyngioma is a congenital brain tumor with clinical characteristics of hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, increased intracranial pressure, and visual field disorder, among other injuries. Its clinical diagnosis mainly depends on radiological examinations (such as Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging). However, assessing numerous radiological images manually is a challenging task, and the experience of doctors has a great influence on the diagnosis result. The development of artificial intelligence has brought about a great transformation in the clinical diagnosis of craniopharyngioma. This study reviewed the application of artificial intelligence technology in the clinical diagnosis of craniopharyngioma from the aspects of differential classification, prediction of tissue invasion and gene mutation, prognosis prediction, and so on. Based on the reviews, the technical route of intelligent diagnosis based on the traditional machine learning model and deep learning model were further proposed. Additionally, in terms of the limitations and possibilities of the development of artificial intelligence in craniopharyngioma diagnosis, this study discussed the attentions required in future research, including few-shot learning, imbalanced data set, semi-supervised models, and multi-omics fusion.

Radiomics and Qualitative Features From Multiparametric MRI Predict Molecular Subtypes in Patients With Lower-Grade Glioma. Front Oncol 2022; 11:756828. [PMID: 35127472 PMCID: PMC8814098 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.756828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and 1p19q codeletion status have been identified as significant markers for therapy and prognosis in lower-grade glioma (LGG). The current study aimed to construct a combined machine learning-based model for predicting the molecular subtypes of LGG, including (1) IDH wild-type astrocytoma (IDHwt), (2) IDH mutant and 1p19q non-codeleted astrocytoma (IDHmut-noncodel), and (3) IDH-mutant and 1p19q codeleted oligodendroglioma (IDHmut-codel), based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics, qualitative features, and clinical factors. Methods A total of 335 patients with LGG (WHO grade II/III) were retrospectively enrolled. The sum of 5,929 radiomics features were extracted from multiparametric MRI. Selected robust, non-redundant, and relevant features were used to construct a random forest model based on a training cohort (n = 269) and evaluated on a testing cohort (n = 66). Meanwhile, preoperative MRIs of all patients were scored in accordance with Visually Accessible Rembrandt Images (VASARI) annotations and T2-fluid attenuated inversion recovery (T2-FLAIR) mismatch sign. By combining radiomics features, qualitative features (VASARI annotations and T2-FLAIR mismatch signs), and clinical factors, a combined prediction model for the molecular subtypes of LGG was built. Results The 17-feature radiomics model achieved area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.6557, 0.6830, and 0.7579 for IDHwt, IDHmut-noncodel, and IDHmut-codel, respectively, in the testing cohort. Incorporating qualitative features and clinical factors into the radiomics model resulted in improved AUCs of 0.8623, 0.8056, and 0.8036 for IDHwt, IDHmut-noncodel, and IDHmut-codel, with balanced accuracies of 0.8924, 0.8066, and 0.8095, respectively. Conclusion The combined machine learning algorithm can provide a method to non-invasively predict the molecular subtypes of LGG preoperatively with excellent predictive performance.

Abstract
The interpretation of imaging in medicine in general and in oncology specifically remains problematic due to several limitations which include the need to incorporate detailed clinical history, patient and disease-specific history, clinical exam features, previous and ongoing treatment, and account for the dependency on reproducible human interpretation of multiple factors with incomplete data linkage. To standardize reporting, minimize bias, expedite management, and improve outcomes, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gained significant prominence in imaging analysis. In oncology, AI methods have as a result been explored in most cancer types with ongoing progress in employing AI towards imaging for oncology treatment, assessing treatment response, and understanding and communicating prognosis. Challenges remain with limited available data sets, variability in imaging changes over time augmented by a growing heterogeneity in analysis approaches. We review the imaging analysis workflow and examine how hand-crafted features also referred to as traditional Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) approaches, and hybrid analyses, are being employed in AI-driven imaging analysis in central nervous system tumors. ML, DL, and hybrid approaches coexist, and their combination may produce superior results although data in this space is as yet novel, and conclusions and pitfalls have yet to be fully explored. We note the growing technical complexities that may become increasingly separated from the clinic and enforce the acute need for clinician engagement to guide progress and ensure that conclusions derived from AI-driven imaging analysis reflect that same level of scrutiny lent to other avenues of clinical research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Malignant sellar gliomas are very rare phenomena. To date, only few cases of sellar and suprasellar glioblastomas have been reported, most of which originate from the optic nerve or optic chiasm. CASE PRESENTATION We present a 34-year-old woman with malignant endo-suprasellar glioma, originating from the pituitary stalk, which was initially classified as a macroprolactinoma. CONCLUSIONS Although malignant sellar gliomas can mimic the clinical, endocrinological, and radiological features of pituitary macroadenomas, rapid progression without appropriate hormonal activity suggests their diagnosis. Considering the high malignant potential of sellar glioblastomas, it is important to discuss the specific features of these tumors and to investigate the possibility of differential diagnosis in the preoperative stage, which can be useful for early selection of the treatment plan.

Abstract
In the field of gliomas research, the broad availability of genetic and image information originated by computer technologies and the booming of biomedical publications has led to the advent of the big-data era. Machine learning methods were applied as possible approaches to speed up the data mining processes. In this article, we reviewed the present situation and future orientations of machine learning application in gliomas within the context of workflows to integrate analysis for precision cancer care. Publicly available tools or algorithms for key machine learning technologies in the literature mining for glioma clinical research were reviewed and compared. Further, the existing solutions of machine learning methods and their limitations in glioma prediction and diagnostics, such as overfitting and class imbalanced, were critically analyzed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radiomics now has significant momentum in the era of precision medicine. Glioma is one of the pathologies that has been extensively evaluated by radiomics. However, this technique has not been incorporated into clinical practice. In this systematic review, we selected and reviewed the published studies about glioma grading by radiomics to evaluate this technique's feasibility and its challenges. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using seven different search strings, we considered all published English manuscripts from 2015 to September 2020 in PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases. After implementing the exclusion and inclusion criteria, the final papers were selected for the methodological quality assessment based on our in-house Modified Radiomics Standard Scoring (RQS) containing 43 items (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 44). Finally, we offered our opinion about the challenges and weaknesses of the selected papers. RESULTS By our search, 1,177 manuscripts were found (485 in PubMed, 343 in Embase, and 349 in Scopus). After the implementation of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 18 papers remained for the final analysis by RQS. The total RQS score ranged from 26 (59% of maximum possible score) to 43 (97% of maximum possible score) with a mean of 33.5 (76% of maximum possible score). CONCLUSION The current studies are promising but very heterogeneous in design with high variation in the radiomics software, the number of extracted features, the number of selected features, and machine learning models. All of the studies were retrospective in design; many are based on small datasets and/or suffer from class imbalance and lack of external validation data-sets.
