Exploring the association of glioma tumor residuals from incongruent [ 18F]FET PET/MR imaging with tumor proliferation using a multiparametric MRI radiomics nomogram. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2024; 51:779-796. [PMID: 37864593 DOI: 10.1007/s00259-023-06468-x] [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: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to using multiparametric MRI radiomics to predict glioma tumor residuals (TRFET over MR) derived from incongruent [18F]fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine ([18F]FET) PET/MR imaging. METHODS One hundred ten patients with gliomas who underwent [18F]FET PET/MR scanning were retrospectively analyzed. The TRFET over MR was identified by the discrepancy-PET that the extent of resection (EOR) based on MRI subtracted the biological tumor volume on PET images. The MRI parameters and radiomics features were extracted based on EOR and selected by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator to construct radiomics score (Rad-score). The correlation network analysis of all features was analyzed by Spearman's correlation tests. The methods for evaluating the clinical usefulness consisted of the receiver operating characteristic curve, the calibration curve, and decision curve analysis. RESULTS The Rad-score of the patients with the TRFET over MR was significantly higher than those with the non TRFET over MR (p < 0.001). The Rad-score was significantly correlated with the discrepancy-PET (r = 0.72, p < 0.001), Ki-67 level (r = 0.76, p < 0.001), and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) of gliomas (r = 0.75, p < 0.001), respectively. Moreover, there was a difference of the correlation network analysis between the TRPET over MR group and non TRFET over MR group. The nomogram combing Rad-score and clinical features had the greatest performance in predicting TRFET over MR (AUC = 0.90/0.87, training/testing). There was a significant difference in prognosis (median OS, 17 m vs. 43 m) between patients with TRFET over MR and non TRFET over MR based on nomogram prediction (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The nomogram based on MRI radiomics would predict gliomas tumor residuals caused by the absence of 18F-PET PET examination and adjust EOR to improve prognosis.

Abstract
Purpose.To determine glioma grading by applying radiomic analysis or deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) and to benchmark both approaches on broader validation sets.Methods.Seven public datasets were considered: (1) low-grade glioma or high-grade glioma (369 patients, BraTS'20) (2) well-differentiated liposarcoma or lipoma (115, LIPO); (3) desmoid-type fibromatosis or extremity soft-tissue sarcomas (203, Desmoid); (4) primary solid liver tumors, either malignant or benign (186, LIVER); (5) gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) or intra-abdominal gastrointestinal tumors radiologically resembling GISTs (246, GIST); (6) colorectal liver metastases (77, CRLM); and (7) lung metastases of metastatic melanoma (103, Melanoma). Radiomic analysis was performed on 464 (2016) radiomic features for the BraTS'20 (others) datasets respectively. Random forests (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBOOST) and a voting algorithm comprising both classifiers were tested. The parameters of the classifiers were optimized using a repeated nested stratified cross-validation process. The feature importance of each classifier was computed using the Gini index or permutation feature importance. DCNN was performed on 2D axial and sagittal slices encompassing the tumor. A balanced database was created, when necessary, using smart slices selection. ResNet50, Xception, EficientNetB0, and EfficientNetB3 were transferred from the ImageNet application to the tumor classification and were fine-tuned. Five-fold stratified cross-validation was performed to evaluate the models. The classification performance of the models was measured using multiple indices including area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).Results.The best radiomic approach was based on XGBOOST for all datasets; AUC was 0.934 (BraTS'20), 0.86 (LIPO), 0.73 (LIVER), (0.844) Desmoid, 0.76 (GIST), 0.664 (CRLM), and 0.577 (Melanoma) respectively. The best DCNN was based on EfficientNetB0; AUC was 0.99 (BraTS'20), 0.982 (LIPO), 0.977 (LIVER), (0.961) Desmoid, 0.926 (GIST), 0.901 (CRLM), and 0.89 (Melanoma) respectively.Conclusion.Tumor classification can be accurately determined by adapting state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to the medical context.

Abstract
Novel therapeutic and diagnostic methods are sorely needed for gliomas, which contribute yearly to hundreds of thousands of cancer deaths worldwide. Despite the outpouring of research efforts and funding aimed at improving clinical outcomes for patients with glioma, the prognosis for high-grade glioma, and especially glioblastoma, remains dire. One of the greatest obstacles to improving treatment efficacy and destroying cancer cells is the safe delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and biologics to the tumor site at a high enough dose to be effective. Over the past few decades, a burst of research has leveraged nanotechnology to overcome this obstacle. There has been a renewed interest in adapting previously understudied dendrimer nanocarriers for this task. Dendrimers are small, highly modifiable, branched structures featuring binding sites for a variety of drugs and ligands. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential for dendrimers and dendrimer conjugates to effectively shuttle therapeutic cargo to the correct tumor location, permeate the tumor, and promote apoptosis of tumor cells while minimizing systemic toxicity and damage to surrounding healthy brain tissue. This review provides a primer on the properties of dendrimers; outlines the mechanisms by which they can target delivery of substances to the site of brain pathology; and delves into current trends in the application of dendrimers to drug and gene delivery, and diagnostic imaging, in glioma. Finally, future directions for translating these in vitro and in vivo findings to the clinic are discussed.

Abstract
MRS, including single-voxel spectroscopy and MR spectroscopic imaging, captures metabolites in high-grade gliomas. Emerging evidence indicates that 7T MRS may be more sensitive to aberrant metabolic activity than lower-field strength MRS. However, the literature on the use of 7T MRS to visualize high-grade gliomas has not been summarized. We aimed to identify metabolic information provided by 7T MRS, optimal spectroscopic sequences, and areas for improvement in and new applications for 7T MRS. Literature was found on PubMed using "high-grade glioma," "malignant glioma," "glioblastoma," "anaplastic astrocytoma," "7T," "MR spectroscopy," and "MR spectroscopic imaging." 7T MRS offers higher SNR, modestly improved spatial resolution, and better resolution of overlapping resonances. 7T MRS also yields reduced Cramér-Rao lower bound values. These features help to quantify D-2-hydroxyglutarate in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 gliomas and to isolate variable glutamate, increased glutamine, and increased glycine with higher sensitivity and specificity. 7T MRS may better characterize tumor infiltration and treatment effect in high-grade gliomas, though further study is necessary. 7T MRS will benefit from increased sample size; reductions in field inhomogeneity, specific absorption rate, and acquisition time; and advanced editing techniques. These findings suggest that 7T MRS may advance understanding of high-grade glioma metabolism, with reduced Cramér-Rao lower bound values and better measurement of smaller metabolite signals. Nevertheless, 7T is not widely used clinically, and technical improvements are necessary. 7T MRS isolates metabolites that may be valuable therapeutic targets in high-grade gliomas, potentially resulting in wider ranging neuro-oncologic applications.

Abstract
Neuroimaging using the 7-Tesla (7T) human magnetic resonance (MR) system is rapidly gaining popularity after being approved for clinical use in the European Union and the USA. This trend is the same for functional MR imaging (MRI). The primary advantages of 7T over lower magnetic fields are its higher signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise ratios, which provide high-resolution acquisitions and better contrast, making it easier to detect lesions and structural changes in brain disorders. Another advantage is the capability to measure a greater number of neurochemicals by virtue of the increased spectral resolution. Many structural and functional studies using 7T have been conducted to visualize details in the white matter and layers of the cortex and hippocampus, the subnucleus or regions of the putamen, the globus pallidus, thalamus and substantia nigra, and in small structures, such as the subthalamic nucleus, habenula, perforating arteries, and the perivascular space, that are difficult to observe at lower magnetic field strengths. The target disorders for 7T neuroimaging range from tumoral diseases to vascular, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. MR spectroscopy has also been used for research because of its increased chemical shift that separates overlapping peaks and resolves neurochemicals more effectively at 7T than a lower magnetic field. This paper presents a narrative review of these topics and an illustrative presentation of images obtained at 7T. We expect 7T neuroimaging to provide a new imaging biomarker of various brain disorders.

Abstract
Simple Summary Gliomas can be difficult to discern clinically and radiologically from other brain lesions (either neoplastic or non-neoplastic) since their clinical manifestations as well as preoperative imaging features often overlap and appear misleading. Radiomics could be extremely helpful for non-invasive glioma differential diagnosis (DDx). However, implementation in clinical practice is still distant and concerns have been raised regarding the methodological quality of radiomic studies. In this context, we aimed to summarize the current status and quality of radiomic studies concerning glioma DDx in a systematic review. In total, 42 studies were selected and examined in our work. Our study revealed that, despite promising and encouraging results, current studies on radiomics for glioma DDx still lack the quality required to allow its introduction into clinical practice. This work could provide new insights and help to reach a consensus on the use of the radiomic approach for glioma DDx. Abstract Radiomics is a promising tool that may increase the value of imaging in differential diagnosis (DDx) of glioma. However, implementation in clinical practice is still distant and concerns have been raised regarding the methodological quality of radiomic studies. Therefore, we aimed to systematically review the current status of radiomic studies concerning glioma DDx, also using the radiomics quality score (RQS) to assess the quality of the methodology used in each study. A systematic literature search was performed to identify original articles focused on the use of radiomics for glioma DDx from 2015. Methodological quality was assessed using the RQS tool. Spearman’s correlation (ρ) analysis was performed to explore whether RQS was correlated with journal metrics and the characteristics of the studies. Finally, 42 articles were selected for the systematic qualitative analysis. Selected articles were grouped and summarized in terms of those on DDx between glioma and primary central nervous system lymphoma, those aiming at differentiating glioma from brain metastases, and those based on DDx of glioma and other brain diseases. Median RQS was 8.71 out 36, with a mean RQS of all studies of 24.21%. Our study revealed that, despite promising and encouraging results, current studies on radiomics for glioma DDx still lack the quality required to allow its introduction into clinical practice. This work could provide new insights and help to reach a consensus on the use of the radiomic approach for glioma DDx.

Abstract
Importance: Gliomas, tumors of the central nervous system, are classically diagnosed through invasive surgical biopsy and subsequent histopathological study. Innovations in ultra-high field (UHF) imaging, namely 7-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T MRI) are advancing preoperative tumor grading, visualization of intratumoral structures, and appreciation of small brain structures and lesions. Objective Summarize current innovative uses of UHF imaging techniques in glioma diagnostics and treatment. Methods A systematic review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines was performed utilizing PubMed. Case reports and series, observational clinical trials, and randomized clinical trials written in English were included. After removing unrelated studies and those with non-human subjects, only those related to 7T MRI were independently reviewed and summarized for data extraction. Some preclinical animal models are briefly described to demonstrate future usages of ultra-high-field imaging. Results We reviewed 46 studies (43 human and 3 animal models) which reported clinical usages of UHF MRI in the diagnosis and management of gliomas. Current literature generally supports greater resolution imaging from 7T compared to 1.5T or 3T MRI, improving visualization of cerebral microbleeds and white and gray matter, and providing more precise localization for radiotherapy targeting. Additionally, studies found that diffusion or susceptibility-weighted imaging techniques applied to 7T MRI, may be used to predict tumor grade, reveal intratumoral structures such as neovasculature and microstructures like axons, and indicate isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutation status in preoperative imaging. Similarly, newer imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy and chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging can be performed on 7T MRI to predict tumor grading and treatment efficacy. Geometrical distortion, a known challenge of 7T MRI, was at a tolerable level in all included studies. Conclusion UHF imaging has the potential to preoperatively and non-invasively grade gliomas, provide precise therapy target areas, and visualize lesions not seen on conventional MRI.

Abstract
This article reviews the existing approaches to determining the TERT promoter mutational status in patients with various tumoral diseases of the central nervous system. The operational characteristics of the most common methods and their transferability in medical practice for the selection or monitoring of personalized treatments based on the TERT status and other related molecular biomarkers in patients with the most common tumors, such as glioblastoma, oligodendroglioma, and astrocytoma, are compared. The inclusion of new molecular markers in the course of CNS clinical management requires their rapid and reliable assessment. Availability of molecular evaluation of gliomas facilitates timely decisions regarding patient follow-up with the selection of the most appropriate treatment protocols. Significant progress in the inclusion of molecular biomarkers for their subsequent clinical application has been made since 2016 when the WHO CNS classification first used molecular markers to classify gliomas. In this review, we consider the methodological approaches used to determine mutations in the promoter region of the TERT gene in tumors of the central nervous system. In addition to classical molecular genetical methods, other methods for determining TERT mutations based on mass spectrometry, magnetic resonance imaging, next-generation sequencing, and nanopore sequencing are reviewed with an assessment of advantages and disadvantages. Beyond that, noninvasive diagnostic methods based on the determination of the mutational status of the TERT promoter are discussed.
