Magnetic resonance radiomics-derived sphericity correlates with seizure in brain arteriovenous malformations. Eur Radiol 2024; 34:588-599. [PMID: 37553487 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09982-6] [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: 01/01/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Angioarchitectural analysis of brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) is qualitative and subject to interpretation. This study quantified the morphology of and signal changes in the nidal and perinidal areas by using MR radiomics and compared the performance of MR radiomics and angioarchitectural analysis in detecting epileptic BAVMs. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2010 to 2020, a total of 111 patients with supratentorial BAVMs were retrospectively included and grouped in accordance with the initial presentation of seizure. Patients' angiograms and MR imaging results were analyzed to determine the corresponding angioarchitecture. The BAVM nidus was contoured on time-of-flight MR angiography images. The perinidal brain parenchyma was contoured on T2-weighted images, followed by radiomic analysis. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent risk factors for seizure. ROC curve analysis, decision curve analysis (DCA), and calibration curve were performed to compare the performance of angioarchitecture-based and radiomics-based models in diagnosing epileptic BAVMs. RESULTS In multivariate analyses, low sphericity (OR: 2012.07, p = .04) and angiogenesis (OR: 5.30, p = .01) were independently associated with a high risk of seizure after adjustment for age, sex, temporal location, and nidal volume. The AUC for the angioarchitecture-based, MR radiomics-based, and combined models was 0.672, 0.817, and 0.794, respectively. DCA confirmed the clinical utility of the MR radiomics-based and combined models. CONCLUSIONS Low nidal sphericity and angiogenesis were associated with high seizure risk in patients with BAVMs. MR radiomics-derived tools may be used for noninvasive and objective measurement for evaluating the risk of seizure due to BAVM. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Low nidal sphericity was associated with high seizure risk in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation and MR radiomics may be used as a noninvasive and objective measurement method for evaluating seizure risk in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation. KEY POINTS • Low nidal sphericity was associated with high seizure risk in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation. • The performance of MR radiomics in detecting epileptic brain arteriovenous malformations was more satisfactory than that of angioarchitectural analysis. • MR radiomics may be used as a noninvasive and objective measurement method for evaluating seizure risk in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation.

Automated identification and quantification of metastatic brain tumors and perilesional edema based on a deep learning neural network. J Neurooncol 2024; 166:167-174. [PMID: 38133789 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-023-04540-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: 09/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This paper presents a deep learning model for use in the automated segmentation of metastatic brain tumors and associated perilesional edema. METHODS The model was trained using Gamma Knife surgical data (90 MRI sets from 46 patients), including the initial treatment plan and follow-up images (T1-weighted contrast-enhanced (T1cWI) and T2-weighted images (T2WI)) manually annotated by neurosurgeons to indicate the target tumor and edema regions. A mask region-based convolutional neural network was used to extract brain parenchyma, after which the DeepMedic 3D convolutional neural network was in the segmentation of tumors and edemas. RESULTS Five-fold cross-validation demonstrated the efficacy of the brain parenchyma extraction model, achieving a Dice similarity coefficient of 96.4%. The segmentation models used for metastatic tumors and brain edema achieved Dice similarity coefficients of 71.6% and 85.1%, respectively. This study also presents an intuitive graphical user interface to facilitate the use of these models in clinical analysis. CONCLUSION This paper introduces a deep learning model for the automated segmentation and quantification of brain metastatic tumors and perilesional edema trained using only T1cWI and T2WI. This technique could facilitate further research on metastatic tumors and perilesional edema as well as other intracranial lesions.
