J Magn Reson Imaging 2024; 59:231-239. [PMID: 37199225 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.28782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Double expression lymphoma (DEL) is a subtype of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) that often has a poor prognosis. Currently, there are limited noninvasive ways to detect protein expression. PURPOSE To detect DEL in PCNSL using multiparametric MRI-based machine learning. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. POPULATION Forty PCNSL patients were enrolled in the study among whom 17 were DEL (9 males and 8 females, 61.29 ± 14.14 years) and 23 were non-DEL (14 males and 9 females, 55.57 ± 14.16 years) with 59 lesions (28 DEL and 31 non-DEL). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE ADC map derived from DWI (b = 0/1000 s/mm2 ), fast spin echo T2WI, T2FLAIR, and contrast-enhanced T1 weighted imaging (T1CE) were collected at 3.0 T. ASSESSMENT Two raters manually segmented lesions by ITK-SNAP on ADC, T2WI, T2FLAIR and T1CE. A total of 2234 radiomics features from the tumor segmentation area were extracted. The t-test was conducted to filter the features, and elastic net regression algorithm combined with recursive feature elimination was used to calculate the essential features. Finally, 12 groups with combinations of different sequences were fitted to 6 classifiers, and the optimal models were selected. STATISTICAL TESTS Continuous variables were assessed by the t-test, while categorical variables were assessed by the non-parametric test. Interclass correlation coefficient tested variables' consistency. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy F1-score, and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate model performance. RESULTS DEL status could be identified to varying degrees with 72 models based on radiomics, and model performance could be improved by combining different sequences and classifiers. Both SVMlinear and logistic regression (LR) combined with four sequence group had similar largest AUCmean (0.92 ± 0.09 vs. 0.92 ± 0.05), and SVMlinear was considered as the optimal model in this study since the F1-score of SVMlinear (0.88) was higher than that of LR (0.83). DATA CONCLUSION Multiparametric MRI-based machine learning is promising in DEL detection. EVIDENCE LEVEL 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2.

Abstract
Imaging is central to the clinical surveillance of brain tumors yet it provides limited insight into a tumor's underlying biology. Machine learning and other mathematical modeling approaches can leverage paired magnetic resonance images and image-localized tissue samples to predict almost any characteristic of a tumor. Image-based modeling takes advantage of the spatial resolution of routine clinical scans and can be applied to measure biological differences within a tumor, changes over time, as well as the variance between patients. This approach is non-invasive and circumvents the intrinsic challenges of inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity that have historically hindered the complete assessment of tumor biology and treatment responsiveness. It can also reveal tumor characteristics that may guide both surgical and medical decision-making in real-time. Here we describe a general framework for the acquisition of image-localized biopsies and the construction of spatiotemporal radiomics models, as well as case examples of how this approach may be used to address clinically relevant questions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibromyalgia (FM) is a multifaceted disease. Along with the genetic, environmental and neuro-hormonal factors, inflammation has been assumed to have role in the pathogenesis of FM. The aim of the present study was to explore the differences in clinical features and pathophysiology of FM patients under different inflammatory status. METHODS The peripheral blood gene expression profile of FM patients in the Gene Expression Omnibus database was downloaded. Differentially expressed inflammatory genes were identified, and two molecular subtypes were constructed according to these genes used unsupervised clustering analysis. The clinical characteristics, immune features and pathways activities were compared further between the two subtypes. Then machine learning was used to perform the feature selection and construct a classification model. RESULTS The patients with FM were divided into micro-inflammation and non-inflammation subtypes according to 54 differentially expressed inflammatory genes. The micro-inflammation group was characterized by more major depression (p = 0.049), higher BMI (p = 0.021), more active dendritic cells (p = 0.010) and neutrophils. Functional enrichment analysis showed that innate immune response and antibacterial response were significantly enriched in micro-inflammation subtype (p < 0.050). Then 5 hub genes (MMP8, ENPP3, MAP2K3, HGF, YES1) were screened thought three feature selection algorithms, an accurate classifier based on the 5 hub DEIGs and 2 clinical parameters were constructed using support vector machine model. Model scoring indicators such as AUC (0.945), accuracy (0.936), F1 score (0.941), Brier score (0.079) and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (χ2 = 4.274, p = 0.832) proved that this SVM-based classifier was highly reliable. CONCLUSION Micro-inflammation status in FM was significantly associated with the occurrence of depression and activated innate immune response. Our study calls attention to the pathogenesis of different subtypes of FM.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed at applying a mathematical framework for the prediction of high-grade gliomas (HGGs) cell invasion into normal tissues for guiding the clinical target delineation, and at investigating the possibility of using tumor infiltration maps for patient overall survival (OS) prediction. MATERIAL & METHODS A model describing tumor infiltration into normal tissue was applied to 93 HGG cases. Tumor infiltration maps and corresponding isocontours with different cell densities were produced. ROC curves were used to seek correlations between the patient OS and the volume encompassed by a particular isocontour. Area-Under-the-Curve (AUC) values were used to determine the isocontour having the highest predictive ability. The optimal cut-off volume, having the highest sensitivity and specificity, for each isocontour was used to divide the patients in two groups for a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS The highest AUC value was obtained for the isocontour of cell densities 1000 cells/mm3 and 2000 cells/mm3, equal to 0.77 (p < 0.05). Correlation with the GTV yielded an AUC of 0.73 (p < 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis using the 1000 cells/mm3 isocontour and the ROC optimal cut-off volume for patient group selection rendered a hazard ratio (HR) of 2.7 (p < 0.05), while the GTV rendered a HR = 1.6 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The simulated tumor cell invasion is a stronger predictor of overall survival than the segmented GTV, indicating the importance of using mathematical models for cell invasion to assist in the definition of the target for HGG patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Molecularly targeted therapy has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape and is emerging as the first-line treatment option for ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, the highly informative and robust biomarkers based on pre-treatment CT images and clinicopathologic features will be developed and validated to predict the prognosis for ALK-inhibitor therapy in NSCLC patients. METHODS A total of 161 ALK-positive NSCLC patients treated with ALK inhibitors were retrospectively collected as training, validation and test sets from multi-center institutions. Cox proportional hazard regression (CPH) penalized by LASSO and random survival forest (RSF) coupled with recursive feature elimination (RFE) were used for radiomics and clinical features identification and model construction. An overlapping post-processing method was extra added to training process to investigate the stronger biomarker on the whole set. RESULTS 123 of the collected cases progressed after a median follow-up of 15.5 months (IQR, 8.3-25.3). The T and M staging, pericardial effusion, age and ALK inhibitor-alectinib were determined as significant predictors in the survival analysis. Furthermore, we visualized the finally retained 4 radiomics feature. The RSF models built from overlapping-processed clinical and radiomics features respectively reached the maximum C-index of 0.68 and 0.75,but the combination of them,radioclinical signature, improved the score to 0.78. The model on the validation and external test datasets yielded the C-index of 0.73 and 0.79, with the iAUC of 0.76 and 0.83, the IBS of 0.119 and 0.112. CONCLUSION With respect to a simple selection strategy of overlapping optimal radiomics and clinical features from different survival models may promote better progression-free survival(PFS) prediction than conventional survival analysis, which provides a potential method for guiding personalized pre-treatment options of NSCLC.

Detection of Cancer Recurrence Using Systemic Inflammatory Markers and Machine Learning after Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancers. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3540. [PMID: 37509202 PMCID: PMC10377662 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15143540] [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: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Pretreatment values of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are well-established prognosticators in various cancers, including head and neck cancers. However, there are no studies on whether temporal changes in the NLR and PLR values after treatment are related to the development of recurrence. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to develop a deep neural network (DNN) model to discern cancer recurrence from temporal NLR and PLR values during follow-up after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and to evaluate the model's performance compared with conventional machine learning (ML) models. Along with conventional ML models such as logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), and gradient boosting (GB), the DNN model to discern recurrences was trained using a dataset of 778 consecutive patients with primary head and neck cancers who received CCRT. There were 16 input features used, including 12 laboratory values related to the NLR and the PLR. Along with the original training dataset (N = 778), data were augmented to split the training dataset (N = 900). The model performance was measured using ROC-AUC and PR-AUC values. External validation was performed using a dataset of 173 patients from an unrelated external institution. The ROC-AUC and PR-AUC values of the DNN model were 0.828 ± 0.032 and 0.663 ± 0.069, respectively, in the original training dataset, which were higher than the ROC-AUC and PR-AUC values of the LR, RF, and GB models in the original training dataset. With the recursive feature elimination (RFE) algorithm, five input features were selected. The ROC-AUC and PR-AUC values of the DNN-RFE model were higher than those of the original DNN model (0.883 ± 0.027 and 0.778 ± 0.042, respectively). The ROC-AUC and PR-AUC values of the DNN-RFE model trained with a split dataset were 0.889 ± 0.032 and 0.771 ± 0.044, respectively. In the external validation, the ROC-AUC values of the DNN-RFE model trained with the original dataset and the same model trained with the split dataset were 0.710 and 0.784, respectively. The DNN model with feature selection using the RFE algorithm showed the best performance among the ML models to discern a recurrence after CCRT in patients with head and neck cancers. Data augmentation by splitting training data was helpful for model performance. The performance of the DNN-RFE model was also validated with an external dataset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop and validate a radiomics signature based on computed tomography (CT) for identifying high-risk neuroblastomas. PROCEDURE This retrospective study included 339 patients with neuroblastomas, who were classified into high-risk and non-high-risk groups according to the revised Children's Oncology Group classification system. These patients were then randomly divided into a training set (n = 237) and a testing set (n = 102). Pretherapy CT images of the arterial phase were segmented by two radiologists. Pyradiomics package and FeAture Explorer software were used to extract and process radiomics features. Radiomics models based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA), logistic regression (LR), and support vector machine (SVM) were constructed, and the area under the curve (AUC), 95% confidence interval (CI), and accuracy were calculated. RESULTS The optimal LDA, LR, and SVM models had 11, 12, and 14 radiomics features, respectively. The AUC of the LDA model in the training and testing sets were 0.877 (95% CI: 0.833-0.921) and 0.867 (95% CI: 0.797-0.937), with an accuracy of 0.823 and 0.804, respectively. The AUC of the LR model in the training and testing sets were 0.881 (95% CI: 0.839-0.924) and 0.855 (95% CI: 0.781-0.930), with an accuracy of 0.823 and 0.804, respectively. The AUC of the SVM model in the training and testing sets were 0.879 (95% CI: 0.836-0.923) and 0.862 (95% CI: 0.791-0.934), with an accuracy of 0.827 and 0.804, respectively. CONCLUSIONS CT-based radiomics is able to identify high-risk neuroblastomas and may provide additional image biomarkers for the identification of high-risk neuroblastomas.

Development and validation of questionnaire-based machine learning models for predicting all-cause mortality in a representative population of China. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1033070. [PMID: 36778549 PMCID: PMC9911458 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1033070] [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: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Considering that the previously developed mortality prediction models have limited applications to the Chinese population, a questionnaire-based prediction model is of great importance for its accuracy and convenience in clinical practice. Methods Two national cohort, namely, the China Health and Nutrition Survey (8,355 individual older than 18) and the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (12,711 individuals older than 45) were used for model development and validation. One hundred and fifty-nine variables were compiled to generate predictions. The Cox regression model and six machine learning (ML) models were used to predict all-cause mortality. Finally, a simple questionnaire-based ML prediction model was developed using the best algorithm and validated. Results In the internal validation set, all the ML models performed better than the traditional Cox model in predicting 6-year mortality and the random survival forest (RSF) model performed best. The questionnaire-based ML model, which only included 20 variables, achieved a C-index of 0.86 (95%CI: 0.80-0.92). On external validation, the simple questionnaire-based model achieved a C-index of 0.82 (95%CI: 0.77-0.87), 0.77 (95%CI: 0.75-0.79), and 0.79 (95%CI: 0.77-0.81), respectively, in predicting 2-, 9-, and 11-year mortality. Conclusions In this prospective population-based study, a model based on the RSF analysis performed best among all models. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the prediction performance of the questionnaire-based ML model, which only included 20 variables, and that of the model with all variables (including laboratory variables). The simple questionnaire-based ML prediction model, which needs to be further explored, is of great importance for its accuracy and suitability to the Chinese general population.

Abstract
Survival prediction of patients affected by brain tumors provides essential information to guide surgical planning, adjuvant treatment selection, and patient counseling. Current reliance on clinical factors, such as Karnofsky Performance Status Scale, and simplistic radiological characteristics are, however, inadequate for survival prediction in tumors such as glioma that demonstrate molecular and clinical heterogeneity with variable survival outcomes. Advances in the domain of artificial intelligence have afforded powerful tools to capture a large number of hidden high-dimensional imaging features that reflect abundant information about tumor structure and physiology. Here, we provide an overview of current literature that apply computational analysis tools such as radiomics and machine learning methods to the pipeline of image preprocessing, tumor segmentation, feature extraction, and construction of classifiers to establish survival prediction models based on neuroimaging. We also discuss challenges relating to the development and evaluation of such models and explore ethical issues surrounding the future use of machine learning predictions.
